Grandma MIMI!!!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday my Mimi! Happy Birthday to you! Me and my Grandma Mimi Thanksgiving 2006. This is how you can usually find Grandma. On the floor taking pictures with her disposable cameras, which she develops and then puts them into piles and gives them to you in little white envelopes.....
The cameras in which the kids usually take and then take their own pictures. (Mimi and Alizah)
The famous pickle elevators. Grandma Mimi HAS THE BEST PICKLES!!!! I have many memories of her pickle elevator and her yummy yummy pickles ruining our dinners....This is at Bridger's baptism the past November 2008. Happy Birthday to my dear Grandma Mimi. She is such an amazing person and so spunky! She would laugh at the word spunky and say, "oh, Korbi, what are we ever going to do with you?"

Brad Paisley

I love my grandma Mimi's comment on my last post, "Hey ddont feeel bad I dont believe I have one much of anything in my life but that is O k bdcause God gave us you and you are a winner" yes, folks, you read it right there, I am a winner and what makes me a winner is this post as well. :) I feel that in life you gotta love stuff, like love your babies, love your hubby, love your knitting, or your collections of stuff, and anyone who knows me knows that I love Brad Paisley, I mean, I named my daughter after him! I am not overly obsessed.... I am not a member of his website, I don't know how long he has been married, but I do love his music, think he is an awesome guitar player, and a great performer, and I think that he loves what he does.
This is a picture of Stephen and I on our first date, to a Brad Paisley concert in the Tri-cities on June 2, 2003. I didn't really know who he was until I got there and found out that I knew almost all of his songs. That is the first time the I had heard his song Moments though because it was brand new.And this is us 5 years later... and closer to stage... :)We left for Spokane before 4 and my sis-in-law, Mary, watched my kids for me OVER NIGHT!!!! This was my first time leaving Paisley and I hear that she was an angel, but poor little Beck roamed around and ended up in their bed..... So even though Mary HATES country music and she mocks my boots, she is an ANGEL!! Thanks Mary!
Dierks Bentley opened for Brad and yes, this is how close I was. I grabbed his arm. :) He has good hair, huh?Then Brad came out. I was busy being lifted up by bro-in-law Ruben and Stephen, so my mother-in-law, Ann snapped this awesome picture when the lights came up and he was RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! We were on the front row of the "catwalk" (no, that is not me with a beer in my hand...) There was a group of crazy drunk ladies and he laughed at them a lot and called em' crazy. Every one that we went with; back: Tiffanni (sis-in-law) me, Stephen, Ruben, front: Ann (mom-in-law, Dena, and Todd (bro and sis-in-law)


Brad Paisley threw me his hat!!!!! and I got a signed picture! No, just kidding, this little girl named Scout, about 5 people in front of me got it, but I tracked her down and waited with her and her mom while the crew took it backstage for Mr. Paisley to sign and then she let me take a picture with it. I put the hat on backwards, so that you could see the signature, but I should've tilted my head because you can't see it too well.But I did catch a guitar pick, okay, more like crawled around on the floor in the dark until I found it, so I had to get a picture of me and my pick and how close I was to the stage.
Stephen took this video of me jumping and waving like crazy. I am the one in the red and white shirt waving like a mad woman, and yes, I was excited. At the end of the video he says,"you guys are crazy, you're making me forget the words"



He's cute, huh?


It was such a fun night! So exciting and well, overly fun.

haha!

Just after finishing that last post Beck is begging for his Leapster game. (best invention ever!) and I keep telling him that it's time for bed as soon as I post and he says, "ah, mom, you're making me pazy (also read as crazy) and I just need my Leaspter game!"

Me

Pictures of me today because well, um, I am cool, didn't you know? My brother (in law) and sister in law got this cute sweatshirt for me while on a cruise and I watched their kids. (remember this?) They were a little worried that it was too small, so I set Beck up with the camera and made him take a picture of me, to set their worries aside. Then I remembered that my teeth weren't white yet (I got a teeth whitening for V-Day) so I had to cover my mouth. Which reminds me of when I was little. I was a very insecure little girl. I always thought there were boogies in my nose, so I always covered my nose/mouth with my hands, I also knew that I had really big teeth, I mean like huge, so that is also why I covered my mouth. I thought my arms were hairy, so I wore long sleeves, and I also had hairy legs, so I wore pants all the time. So you can imagine what I looked like in the very hot month of August....This was my twin sister, Jakobi and I at a much cuter stage in my life, well, excluding the hair cut. It was all my mom could do to not shave it all off. My Grandma Beck was babysitting us and fell asleep and Jakobi and I decided to cut each other's hair. I remember being so happy and excited to show my mom, so we got our new Easter dresses on and showed her when she got home, yeah, she cried. Our hair used to be this long...So then it had to grow from this boyish splendor...
Into this wanna be eighties dream...Good thing I still had OK teeth.... or I really would have been a mess. And yes, I still have this dress and yes, Paisley will wear it some day and hate me for it when she's 14...
