Casting Crowns Concert

I went to the Casting Crowns concert with my friend Rebecca....It was her first Christian Concert and I do think she had a good time. She really enjoyed Matt Redmond. We took pictures, but none of my pictures really came out of the stage, but we did get good pictures of us.

My grandpas 80 birthday

My grandpas theme was 1929 Stock Market....that is when it fell was in 1929, days when he was born. They have always told me that He caused the stock market to fall, so here it is 80 years later, and I wanted to bring it out and show the differences between 80 years and what has changed.

These are the centerpieces....I made them little money trees and since his birthday is the day before Halloween, I put some candy out for everyone.

I baked his cake, but I didnt make it like the fondant.....But i did get ALOT of compliments on it and how moist and good it was.

I love, love, love, this picture. This is a picture of my grandpa and his great grandson Cameron. He was helping his grandpa open his birthday gifts. My grandpa just adores him.

Here are some of the things that happened in 1929 and now in 2009. My friend helped me make these pictures and decorate.

We put 80 candles on top of this cake, and we put them all together cause it was faster to light, lol. They ended up burning the floor.

I made a stock market on the wall and made this of my grandpa crashing it when he was born.

The cake i made

I put this fun facts on the tables of numerous things, so that everyone could read.

We had his birthday party at our church. Alot of people from church came and our close friends and family. My grandpa had a blast and told me he never has had a party before like that, so here he is at 80 and Im so happy that I could give him something that he will always cherish and have many memories of!!! I am so thankful to have him still in our lives and he is such a sweet person and a Godly person. He teaches Sunday School still at our church and he is the deacon. I love you grandpa!!!

Bebo Norman, Natalie Grant, & Jeremy Camp concert

So these arnt in any order, but Mark and I went to Jeremy Camp concert this past Sunday (Nov. 01, 2009) in Abilene. It was so much fun...but it was a fast trip. We had my grandpas birthday party on Saturday and then left to go there Sunday and then to come back Monday morning so I could go to work. Mark loves to listen to Jeremy Camp's music and has been really wanting to see him in concert. So he planned it like a month or two ago and we were so excited to go. Bebo Norman and Natalie Grant opened up for him, and they both were awesome. I loved Natalie Grants turn on the stage. She had me bawling, lol. The things she said and the music she sang spoke to me. She said...Greater things are yet to come, Greater things are yet to be done....and thats a song, which she explained she didnt write but the story in itself is touching. Here are some pics of the concert.

I loved this pic of this guy lifting his hands praising God during one of Jeremy Camps song!!

This is Bebo Norman....They said you can have cameras, but not to use the flash....well.....I didnt get alot because of that at the beginning, then I was like, shoot...im going to use my flash, lol

Bebo, came out right before Jeremy Camp came out, and was talking...hes so funny...he said back in the day, Jeremy used to open up for HIM, lol

Natalie Grant!!!

These are her twins...they were so cute. She said before the concert, one of them asked her WHY cant we go out there on stage with her?? she said, you are, your just on the side....and then they little girl goes, NO, i want to be ON stage with you...so she let them come out...their names are Bella and Grace.
