Photos: Corbin Bleu, Drake Bell, Ally & AJ concert

3

Wednesday night I took Hayley and her friend to see Corbin Bleu, Drake Bell, Ally & AJ in concert. Talk about insanely screaming kids, my hearing is still partially gone I think. Ally & AJ were better than I expected but between the High School Musicalfans to see Corbin and the Drake & Josh fans to see Drake, the boys definitely got more noise!

They were bummed that Corbin didn’t do anything from HS Musical 1 or 2 but he did do the main song from Jump In as an encore and came out in the Izzy Daniels boxing robe.

Drake was great – better than I expected as well. He’s got a whole mod, early-beatles sorta thing going on with the music and style. Luckily he did the theme song of the show, which we ALL screamed along with him. He did the song he released last season I think on the show as well as the new song that was the center of the story for the Really Big Shrimp Drake & Josh special.

(i didn’t take all these photos, some of them a friend sent to me. the security guys said my camera was too professional to bring into the concert so i could only use my cell phone camera.)

Photo Gallery: Trip to Newport to visit Nicole

0

Hayley and I went down to the beach to visit my old college roommate and pledge class buddy, Nicole. We got our first apartment together and I still remember moving in that day. It had been over 15 years since we saw each other but we picked right back up and had a lot of fun with them, including her adorable and smart son Mason.

I didn’t take the camera down on the beach but I did to the aquarium and the waterslides! I only wish I’d gotten a photo of Nicole and I together.

Photo Gallery: Birthday Party!

Hayley turned nine and we had a big ole party! We never thought almost everyone we invited would say yes so it turned into a huge party and we rented out an awesome gym for the event – foam pits, trampolines and lots of fun games and activities… plus pizza and cupcakes for 26 kids and tons of parents and family!

Photo: Snow Day!

0

WRAL is running photos from viewers so I had to send in one from the front yard this morning, just a simple cute shot of kids all bundled up playing. From left to right, it is Victor, Simon, Gabby and Hayley.

Victor and Gabby are twins whose backyard touches ours and they are less than a month older than Hayley. Simon moved here this summer, just two houses down from us on the culdesac and is right now playing upstairs with Hayley. The four kids play together often, as a foursome or split up in twos. We love living on a street full of kids but it was an extra stroke of luck to have four really close in age.

Photo: Visiting Landon at NICU

We went to see our friend’s Sara and Mike (who came over for Xmas) and their new baby, who just need some time in the NICU to get on track. I’ll post some more photos soon but our friend Andrea took a cute one of me and Hayley.

I realized I never posted what my funky hair looks like… You can see the streaks of pink and blonde.

Video: Pick up the Party

0

Hayley and her friend Abigail had a sleepover tonight. At some point we got the fine idea to make a music video. So they wrote a song, dressed up like rockers and put on makeup. They worked out playing it (Abigail on lead vocals with Hayley on drums and backup vocals) and I taped them.

It was hysterical fun – I love this age. They are charmed by everything and always ready for silly fun.

Photos from UNC-VT women’s game

0

I’ll post more photos soon (I know, I have so many to post) but we had a great time tonight at the UNC-VT women’s game so I had to post a few! Hayley was a ballgirl, my Mom, Dad and Aunt Cathie all game to cheer on the Heels and Jeff came in all his VT stuff. And then my good friend Margaret ended up being at the game too!

Hayley was a great ball girl and added about 10 signatures to her shoes – Coach Hatchell signed the tips of each shoe, it was cool. I got to chat with my favorite assistant coach Tracey Williams and she was telling Coach Hatchell how much I’d helped her with info on NC kids. So that was a really nice treat. It’s pretty cool when a head coach and assistant at the #2 program in the country know you by name. Hayley got to play around in the locker room as well which she loves. A good night was had by all!
