U2's 360 TOUR

Tuesday was the long awaited rescheduled U2 Concert. We gave Rachel and Jake tickets Christmas 2009 to go see U2 with Mike and I in Seattle last summer when we were up on the Oregon coast. When Bono hurt his back and had to have back surgery and they rescheduled we sold our Seattle tickets and got 4 General Admissions to the Salt Lake show this last week. The concert was UNBELIEVABLE... it was so good. This was a concert experience we will NEVER forget. We went up with our friends the Jefferies and we got to the stadium at about 4:0o (not too bad because they started letting people in about 5:15). When we went in there were a ton of people already in the middle section but nobody on the left side...umm the Edge's side :) So we ran up and got all 8 of us spots along the bar. Nobody was in front of us (except the press for the first few songs, which was funny cause we made the Tribnews and Deseret news) so we had an AWESOME unobstructed view the whole time. This was Mine and Mike's 5th time seeing U2 and I can say this was their ABSOLUTE best show EVER...LOVED IT :)Waiting outside the stadium.

Thanks Jefferies for hanging out with us. We had a GREAT time :)

RACHEL'S photo shoot

Since Rachel did a photo shoot with Jake, Will and Sadie I just had to have someone take some pics of her :) My niece Annie and Rachel love to take pictures of each other so one day Annie was able to get some great shots for me of Rachel. Thanks Annie, you did a SUPER job!!!

It is hard to believe that Rachel will be in HIGH SCHOOL next year :(

SPRING PIANO RECITAL

The kids had their spring piano recital today at my parents house. I sure love to hear them practice every morning. It is nice to see them become good at something that neither Mike nor I can do. This has been a few crazy busy weeks at our house. It is nice that a lot of our activities are coming to an end for the summer. I think we are all ready for a break from the craziness :)RACHEL'S PIECES:
