Alicia Keys in Concert!

My favorite older sister, Janice scored tickets for The Alicia Keys Concert and invited Brittnee and I to tag along with her and my nephew Andrew!

Brittnee knows just about every single Alicia Keys song by heart AND is the biggest LAKERS fan. So going to see Alicia Keys in the STAPLES CENTER was just about the highlight of her fourteen years on earth. If only you could have seen the way she grinned from ear to ear for the entire evening!

With Andrew and Brittnee

I just realized that she's sticking her tongue out. Not sure what that's about.

We ate dinner at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant. It was super fancy. Thankfully French Fries and a burger was on the menu to cater to Brittnee and Andrew's simple palate.

When we were walking to the concert we saw this sign... a benefit for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! Is it odd, or is it God!??? How cool is that!

We got to see the paparazzis in action. Way fun!

Not by MY influence, but Brittnee is a HUGE Kobe B. fan.

Standing next to the Grammy Awards poster. Notice the shoes? And, yes, she walked all funky to avoid the "creases." I lost it a time or two and threatened to throw them away and make her walk barefoot! Am I a mean Godmother or what???

I told you she was happy!


My too cool for school Justin Bieber look a like nephew actually posed for a photo. That NEVER happens! (He did make me promise to email me the photos so that he can upload them to his Facebook page. And do you think that I get to be his "facebook friend?" Um NEGATIVE!)

Andrew goes to take his drivers license test tomorrow. GOOD LUCK, ANDREW!

My amazing and generous sister, Janice. Thanks to her we had such an amazing and unforgettable night!



Alicia's concert was INCREDIBLE. She is a very intelligent, classy, talented and beautiful entertainer.

What a fun, fun, fun night!

Thank you Janice for dinner and the tickets and thank you Alicia for an unbelievable show!

Full hearts and a (sort of) Full Fridge...

My friend Elizabeth (Carolyn's 9 year old daughter) and I joined friends from Church at the Fishfest2009! 8 hours of concerts from some of the top Contemporary Christian Groups.

We had seats on the lawn. It was a HOT day and we loved laying out on a blanket and relaxing listening to many of our favorite songs. It was fun to sing along!

Red faced and glistening!

Frozen Lemonade ... the perfect anecdote for sweet rehydration!

A bunch of peeps from FUEL, my Church's venue for "young adults" ages 20s and 30s. Gotta' love it....

Brandon Muchow was pretty awesome... and I know that we'll be hearing more of him soon...

Elizabeth is chillaxin'!

Hawk Nelson were who we were waiting to see! High energy and loud and funky enough to impress a 9 year old! Live Life Loud! Even after a full day of sun and sitting we jumped and jammed and... (I tried not to embarrass Elizabeth...)


What a great day!

Seeing as how I had a house guest, I broke out the piggy bank and purchased a few groceries, with Elizabeth's help, of course... (2 year old) Coors lite, syrup, cream cheese, brown sugar, Parmesan cheese and expired applesauce just wouldn't do!

String cheese, Powerade Zero, Key Lime Yogurt, Oreos, Apples and Cereal. I'll be good for a while!
We spent the rest of the weekend scrapbooking and watching chick flicks! I love you, sweet Elizabeth... and am looking forward to our next bonding time! :O)

Rock and Worship Roadshow

My friends Carolyn, Robbie and Elizabeth saw an incredible concert tonight. The Rock And Worship Roadshow came to Ontario, California. "The Rock and Worship Road Show features 5 amazing artists that share this same goal. Our dream has become a reality — providing the best entertainment and a meaningful message for a price that everyone can afford, just $10 at the door.”

So for $10 we got in the door to see some of my favorite Contemporary Christian Artists. Unfortunately, we couldn't find seats together anywhere in the arena. Apparently, people came at 7:00AM (doors opened at 6PM) to get in line! However, I "made friends," (big surprise!) with a publicist for Jeremy Camp. He sat us in the band family section! On the floor, front and center! SWEET!
