ACM Award Weekend

A year ago we purchased a three day pass for the American Country Music Awards. Friday/Saturday was all day concerts and Sunday was the actual award ceremony at ATT Stadium. Friday and Saturday evening concerts were at Globe Life Park... both nights we had strong storms move in which delayed the show. Didn't really start until 9:30pm on Friday and then 11pm on Saturday, when it was supposed to start at 7:30pm both nights.

Friday was me and Josh. 

Josh Abbott Band

Everyone in the concourse during the storms. So Many People!

Finally made it, standing tickets

Dwight Yoakam & Sam Hunt

Darius Rucker & Sara Evans

Having so much fun!

Brooks & Dunn & Reba

We stayed for 5 of the 7 main stage duet performances... we were tired and left around 11:30.

Then Saturday I had a friend from college, Meghan, come with me.  We did spend all afternoon there for the lawn performances, but did not get to see as many in the evening because the storms came in about 7:30 and didn't leave until 10:45.  We only got to see one main stage performance and after being hunkered down for a couple hours we left about 10.

Maddie & Tae

Frankie Ballard

I also got to see my friend Mindy and her husband Toby on Saturday.

Made it to one performance, Clint Black & Joe Nichols

Since we were on the field when the storm came, they escorted us through ranger dugout and put us underground until the storms subside

Flower Bed Project

We spent the first weekend placing edging around the flower bed.  The Bermuda grass was taking it over!! 

First step... find the edge of the flower bed!  Note the helper on the right :)

At one point, Josh thought it would be a good idea to slam his thumb with a rubber mallet!?!?!?

We dug up 5 plants we didn't like and moved one of the large ones. Note the helper again!! LOL

Finished look from the side.

Happy Easter!

Bunny Pancake for Breakfast!  Andrew loved it!

Checked out the goodies from the Easter Bunny!

Headed to Mimi and Poppa's for the rest of the day.  After opening his Easter basket, there was a lot of egg hunting, doctoring and reading.

We don't get too many pictures with Mimi and Poppa since we take our time with them for granted. We get to see them almost every weekend.  Happy Easter!

 

This was Andrew's Easter craft he made earlier in the week

Andrew's First Fish!

Little Elm hosted a Kid Fish event at a local park. We bought Andrew a fishing pole for Christmas and he has been practicing casting in the driveway at home, but we have never actually taken him fishing. Until today, that is.

We were there a couple hours before we got a fish and Andrew did get distracted every once in awhile, but he did surprisingly well for a three year old!

Josh was so proud to share this experience with Andrew. He can't wait to go again!

 His first catch was an 11.5 inch catfish!
