KENNY CHESNEY!!

I have been a huge Kenny Chesney fan since his first album came out when I was a teenager. We saw him in concert 6 years ago, but from higher seats. When I heard he was coming again, I knew I wanted to be front and center. Standing in line for 5 hours to get seats front and center was well worth it! Kori, Kiley and I had front row seats and it was amazing!!! Kenny is great in concert and his opening acts, Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert were great as well. We rocked out to Kenny up close and personal. We also got his autograph at the end of the show. I brought three cd covers with me and he signed all three of them- one for each of us! What a fantastic night. Before the concert we had dinner at Texas Roadhouse with two of Kiley's friends: Emily and Stacy. So fun!!! Thanks girls for an awesome girls night out!!

Yellowstone

This past week LJ and I traveled to Yellowstone National Park for four days. We stayed in three different campgrounds throughout the week and saw the entire park. It was awesome! I love the wonders that nature has to offer. We saw tons of animals: buffalo, deer, elk, pelicans, osprey, bald eagle, coyote, moose, black bear, wolves, and even a grizzly bear!!! We saw so many things that the park rangers told us were rare things to see. One night we sat in Hayden Valley and watched two wolves stalk two different herd of elk until they finally attacked and killed a calf elk! It was the best and worst of nature. The park rangers said that event has only been seen a handful of times. I loved the park and all it has to offer. Everyone should go- we hiked trails, drove every turn out, watched geyers and mud pots, and all of the wonderful things there. It was awesome!

We walked through a herd of buffalo. It was one of the scariest things ever in my life.

There is a brown dot beween the two trees in the middle of the back of the picture, that is a grizzly bear- he was 300 yards away and could be seen with binoculars!

We saw a mom black bear and her two baby cubs

June 2009

I have been out of the loop for awhile. The first two weeks after school got out, I took class for two weeks. It was intense, but engaging. Then we went to Montana for a week with my family. It was a great time!! I love the cabin: playing in the creek, watching the kids throw rocks, walking, seeing animals, relaxation. We went into Great Falls for the 4th and watched their parade. It was fun with lots of free goodies for the kids. It was a nice long relaxing week.

Before we left, we also celebrated Kenzie's Birthday- she is 2 years old and getting cuter every day. Happy 2nd Birthday Mckenzie!
