8 More Days


I am so excited. Just 8 more days to go before the retreat. I got in some more supplies on Tuesday and have 2 more orders coming by Monday. I am busy getting things ready. I have no idea what I am taking as far as my personal stuff. I usually take to much. I have to streamline this time because my sister is coming with me.


Today I am figuring out creative ways to display my stuff. I have this really cool rack that I bought from a friend that holds alot of stuff and don't take up too much room. I get 2 tables to display stuff but I don't know if I am going to have enough room. LOL I am having a table dedicated to "Ala Carte" embellishments. From brads to flowers to bottlecaps to eyelets. Well, I better get back to work. :-)

My Rock Star



We wen to the Fair again last night and had a good time. We did a little walking around. Not everything we had planned though. Me and my sister like looking at all the exhibits. We did not get to that. We did see the Petting Zoo. LOL Jarica's favorite. My favorite is the food. This time with my wisdom tooth coming out during the Fair I wasn't really up to eating. But I did. The first night I had a Pass Key. It's restuarant that has been around since my mom was a teenager. She use to car hop their. They are famous for their sausage sandwhich's. The second time we went I had a hamburger that wasn't that great. It was small and plain. LOL Last night I had a huge hamburger. It had everything on it except lettuce and including Pueblo Green Chile. Yummy!


We got to see Love 45 again. They are so awesome. I don't really care for rock music but for them I will make an exception. :-) Jordon got to sing again. I think he was a little scared this time. Sat. night he really didn't have time to think about it because he didn't know he was singing. This time he looked nervous. Or at least that's how we saw it. He messed up on a part but we didn't talk about it. LOL I took my video camera and taped him. It actually came out. I am not the greatest with electronics. Check out Love 45 @ http://www.love45.com/. Listen to "So Loud". It's my favorite. So is "Superhero".
The Band:
The one on the left is the drummer Jimmy Messina, 2nd is Danny Elster (this is Jarica's b/f), 3rd is Mick Shivers and on the end is Paul Trinidad Jr.. Paul is my bil's cousin.
P.S. I wish I knew how to put the video of Jordon on my blog.

Colorado State Fair



The State Fair is town. My sister and I took the kids last weekend to ride the rides. We went again Saturday night. Jordon, his dad, my nephew went to see "The All American Rejects". Whoever they are. LOL While they were watching the concert, me and my sister and Jarica went to see "Love 45". They are group out of Denver. My bil's cousin is a guitarist in the band.


(A little recap)

The first time I got to see them was 4 years ago when they played at my nephews graduation. They are really good. Since then we have seen them around and Jordon leared their songs. My bil had a suprise Birthday Party for my sister's 40th and they played. They asked Jordon if he would sing with them. They were really suprised how well he sang. That was 3 years ago. My sister's friend hired them for her 40th Birthday also and of course, Jordon got to sing again.


Saturday Love 45 played at place at the Fair called the Ample Theatre. It is a place where they actually play for free. Their is a big grass area that is really cool. After The All American Rejects concert they met us at Love 45. Jordon was so excited because they asked him to sing with them. This was the biggest crowd that he has sang in front of ever. The audience was awesome. They screeming for Jordon and taking pictures of him on their cell phones. LOL They play again tonight. I wasn't going to take him because it was a day where I go with my mom and sister to walk around but he really wants to go again. This time I am taking my video camera. I hope I know how to work it. LOL Here are a couple of pics. One with Jordon singing and the other is with 2 of the guys after the concert with Jordon and Jarica.
