Rascal Flatts "Bob That Head" Tour

Here are Me & Laura at the Rascal Flatts "Bob That Head" Concert.

It was an awesome show!

This was how Rascal Flatts came out (below). It was so cool!

Below is a little girl that Gary pulled up on the stage. He had her wave to the crowd.
She was so cute!

I was truly blown away at these guys (below). They climbed up those little ladders and set in those chairs that you can see on top of the rails. They were there for the whole concert moving the big lights around. I told Laura that they couldn't pay me enough to do that job!

I didn't get as good of shots of Taylor, her lighting wasn't as good as Rascal Flatts'. I had to take pictures of the big screens to get a good one of her.

She put on an EXCELLENT show as well.

My Husband's Birthday Gift

I told my husband that I didn't want him to buy me anything this year for my birthday. I just wanted to take some pictures of him. We did this Sunday before Laura and Matt's cookout. He posed in the hot sun wearing a cowboy hat, jeans and boots. That means much more to me than a gift that money buys. You can see more of these pictures on my other blog page, www.sherrikphotography.blogspot.com.

Birthday Weekend Recap

Well, I had a wonderful birthday weekend! I have some pictures to show what all went on...

Saturday night we went to a cookout at my friend Scott's house. My birthday was the 29th and his was the 31st so we celebrated together. The above picture is his dog, Jessie. Jessie is the first dog that I have ever seen that is deaf. One time Jessie ran off and Scott didn't know how he would find him - yelling for him wouldn't help. He is a very loveable dog. You will see his LITTLE brother Jack in a little while.

This is my baby Holly playing fetch with her daddy.

My Man chillin'

The above picture is my friend Jennifer and her boyfriend, Neal. They came over Friday for taco salads and some movies. It was a great time. If you can hang out with Jenn and not have fun then you are truly a drag!

Sunday we went to my cousin's house for a cookout and some cornhole. Above is her youngest trying to help Uncle Po play cornhole.

It was a great weekend surrounded by friends and family. Another year full of blessings.

The Greatest Gift

I decided to share another one of my poems with you guys today. I wrote this back in my days of longing for a child of my own. It is kind of a Christmas poem, but hey, it is just around the corner you know. Enjoy...

The Greatest Gift
They had always dreamed of being parents one day
The day God would send a little blessing their way
They prayed everyday for this miracle to come true
To live the life that so many others already do

He longed to be a father and her a mother
But the longing never affected their love for each other
If it never happened, it would be okay
They had each other to get by each day…

Christmas was coming and their was shopping to do
Sara was looking for the perfect gift and Matt was too
They knew that this year had to be the best
That was when Sara decided to buy a pregnancy test

This was the year that they were married 10 years
The thought of becoming a mother brought her to tears
She took the test home and prayed with all her might
That she would get to tell Matt she was pregnant tonight

Matt searched the mall and found what he was looking for
It was the perfect gift and came from the jewelry store
A band of 10 diamonds - one to represent each year,
That he spent with the woman he loved so dear

Matt arrived home to candles lit and the tree aglow
He kissed his wife and told her he loved her so
She said, “I love you too” with tears in her eyes
She told him to sit down for she had a surprise

“Not until I give you this” Matt replied as he held out his hand
She gently opened the package and found the sparkling band
Tears filled her eyes and a smile came upon her face
She stood up wringing her hands and then began to pace

“Thank you so much for the beautiful ring,
For your undying love and for everything.
I too have a surprise for you tonight
I had to tell you when the time was right.”

With those words she handed him his surprise
He opened the box and then looked into her eyes
“I told you this year was going to the best”
Inside the box lay a positive pregnancy test

They kissed and cried and held each other tight
For their miracle finally came true this Christmas Eve night
“What we have is special and can’t be found in any mall,
Because knowing you’re in love with me, is the greatest gift of all.”

Matt kissed her again after he spoke the words so true
She kissed him back and whispered, “Oh, I love you”
They sat on the couch and gazed into the sparkling Christmas treeAs they both dreamed about how great their next Christmas will be.

A Day at the Zoo

After spending a wonderful day with Shelly, Kenny and the Girls on Saturday, my husband and I decided to spend Sunday together at the zoo. It was a wonderful day for it. The humidity was low and there was a nice breeze. We had a good time with some great conversation. We stopped and ate chinese food (our favorite) on our way back to town and then swung by my niece's birthday party. We finished up the day by visiting with my Mom for a few minutes. A wonderful weekend spent with those I love, I can't think of a better way to spend my time.

Isn't the baby elephant just adorable? His name is Scotty!

I love this shot! He looks so regal sitting there.

Looks like we are in Mexico, doesn't it?

This was my husband's favorite part...
