Fishin'

When we got back from western Iowa on Sunday, we decided to do some fishin'. Caleb got mommy a new pink camo fishing rod for her birthday, and she wanted to try it out.

Here they are getting ready to catch some big fish!

Even though he doesn't have much fishing experience, Caleb did a great job of pointing out the best places for Mommy to cast. It must have just been bred into him!

His suggestions paid off too! Even though it wasn't a huge fish, Caleb was excited because he knew this little fishy was going in his bedroom fish tank! Mommy named him Norman. The other "stuffed" catfish in the picture is Gil. It's Caleb's new favorite stuffed animal!

Bass Pro

Last Saturday started off REALLY early! After getting home at 2:00am from the concert, Grandma Jean graciously gave us the baby monitor before we went to bed. And we all know Caleb gets up between 5 and 6 in the morning!!!! So guess who got up with him at 6???

After re-charging our batteries, we headed to Council Bluffs for the day to do some shopping. Our first, and funnest stop was at Bass Pro Shops. Before we even got in the store, Andy & Caleb picked out their Christmas present!!!!

Once inside, Caleb was fascinated with the giant fish tank. Here's Grandpa & Grandma showing him the big fish.

Caleb could have stayed there all day watching those fish, but we ended up moving along and finishing our shopping.

The Concert

Eric Church puts on the best concert of any country singer out there. Of course, we are a little biased because we haven't been to too many other country concerts! But I will gaurantee that if you attend an Eric Church concert, you will buy all his CD's and go back every chance you get.

Here we are just arriving at the venue. It was called Stir Cove and it was just on the backside of Harrah's Casino in Council Bluffs. This was early yet, but by the time he came on stage there were thousands of people shoulder to shoulder from the front to the back.

Here we are up by the stage, having a blast!

This is Frankie Ballard. He opened the show and I actually really like his music, but the guy definitely needs a haircut!

Here's the man we all went to see. Eric Church. His new album just came out and it's called "Chief". If you don't have it, go get it.

He played for hours and even filmed his next music video at this concert! Our history with Mr. Church dates back to when our friends Reid & Lindsey got married near Council Bluffs. Eric opened for Brad Paisley in Council Bluffs the night before their wedding, and after the concert he came over to the Whiskey Roadhouse in Horseshoe Casino and did a free show. We were hooked from them on!

Last March he came to the Val-Air Ballroom in Des Moines and we attended that concert as well. So this was our 3rd Eric Church concert and it was the best yet!

It was an amazing concert and Trish had a great birthday! More posts about the wild weekend to come.....

Happy Birthday Mommy!

This past Friday marked Trish's birthday, and true to form Andy surprised her once again with a great weekend. This time Caleb had a hand in the fun and planning too. We woke up Friday morning, gave Mommy her cards and inside were two tickets to the Eric Church concert in Council Bluffs that night! So we got out of bed, packed everything up, and headed to Grandpa & Grandma Lesher's in Missouri Valley.

Here's our little Tarzan getting pumped up to go to Grandma's. Yes, that's a rubber ducky in his mouth!
