I married my husband for different reasons, but the thing that attracted me to him the most is his humor. He keeps me laughing, and I just love it!
We had Walker's baseball party at someone's pool. Kevin and his friend Troy decide they are going to race from one end of the pool to the other. And just as serious as he could be, Kevin says "I need a head start because I only have one paddle". For those of you who don't know, Kevin was born with just one hand. He has the other arm also, but has very small fingers on the end of his "nub", as we call it. Well, we all just busted out laughing! After the race was over, Kevin grabs a flipper, puts it on his nub, and starts swimming around the pool. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Every person there was just about in tears over him doing that. You just had to be there....that flipper was smacking the water with every stroke!
Oh me....

Crockett.....
Let's try this again....
DAY 2
It's Troy's birthday! The days starts the same as the day before.....breakfast, swimming, etc....
Troy decides to take some people out tubing on the boat. Well, Julie is gonna try her hand at it. She jumps on the tube and bounces right off into the water....looked just like a fish flopping around! All of us back on the shore were laughing so hard, and you could see Kevin and Troy doubled over on the boat laughing. They couldn't get her up out of the water because they couldn't quit laughing. But they finally did, and she tried again. She was successful. I must say that was the funniest thing we saw all weekend!
After all the water activities, we had a nice feast prepared for Troy's birthday dinner. We had grilled shrimp and chicken skewers, corn, potatoes and sauteed mushrooms! It was all SOOOO good!
Oh, I forgot to mention that earlier in the day Avery scooped up some ashes in her little hand. She took it to Troy and said "I make your birthday". He almost cried he thought it was so sweet.
The night went on...there was a little more story telling, but we hit the sack ealier because we were all so worn out. All in all, it was a great time! I am already looking forward to going the next time!

Mrs. Crockett is back!
I am NOT believing what just happened. I sat here for 30 minutes typing out the next post, and I got an error. WHAT?????? Anyway, I'm so mad....I don't know that I'll take the time to try to do it again.
Just Call Me Mrs. Davy Crockett
I'm not even sure if there was a Mrs. in Davy's life. But I feel as though that's who I've become! I have gone camping AGAIN! One of these days, the tales from my camping trips will not be humorous, exciting to read or even worth blogging about. But since I'm still trying to "find my way" in the camping world, I have surely got something to write about!
Tiff decides she wants to celebrate Troy's birthday by camping. Not my idea of a grand time, but hey, its not my birthday. But being the sport that I am, I agree. Now if you recall the blog from camping just one night at the Reed's, it told of how I loaded my Tahoe down with stuff. Can you imagine what it was going to look like to pack for 3 nights? I seriously contemplated renting a U-Haul trailer to tow for all the "camping supplies" I would need! But talk about redneck....I sure didn't need anymore help in that area. But have no fear....Mighty Mouse (Kevin) is here! He pulls up one night with a camper in tow! My mouth dropped, and I start playing through my head all the things I'm about to say to him about buying a camper without discussing it with me. I'm even quite certain the word divorce floated through there a couple of times. I walk outside, and I'm sure the people a mile down the road thought Indians were sending up smoke signals from all the steam I had coming out of my head! I walk up, and he can see the fury on my face....he thinks that telling me we got it for $50/wk would make the whole thing better. No, my friend, it won't.....but thankfully, he was just pulling my leg. He has borrowed it from a friend. Phew...crisis and $10,000 in legal fees diverted. Kevin has decided he is too precious to sleep on the ground in a tent for 3 nights.....no way, no how! I didn't care either way, but the camper is starting to appeal to me a little bit. So, we have a camper to use.
The first night at the campgroud, all the kids find a very small water snake....in the water, of course. Well, you must understand that snakes and spiders are two of my biggest fears. All everyone there is saying is that it won't hurt me, blah blah blah. All I heard was "that snake is the size of a school bus and it will wrap itself around you and constrict you to death". I get chills up and down my body, my heart is palpitating like crazy, and I see my life flash before my very eyes. This can't be happening. There is a snake in the water that these people are expecting me to play in tomorrow!!!!!!!! If I was a smoker, I could have smoked a cigarette the size of a paper towel roll, and it still wouldn't have been enough. After about 20 minutes, I have calmed down. We get everything unpacked and like we like it, and it's bed time.....more to follow in another post.

Brody's team was crowned the 2009 County Champs on May 26th! They had a 25-0 record for the entire season! They worked extremely hard to get to that point, and I am so proud of them! And I appreciate all the hard work the coaches put into the season also!
The boys ready to get their trophy!

Keith Urban/Dierks Bently concert
A couple of years ago, I took Kevin to the Grand Ole Opry to see Vince Gill. One of the other guests there that night was Josh Turner. Well, apparently Josh's number 1 fan was sitting right in front of us. When he was on stage, there was no stopping her. She was bouncing up and down, singing, dancing, clapping, hooting and hollering....you name it. She got so carried away that I had to video it. I honestly thought I would never see anything like it again. Friends, crazed-Josh fan has met her match.....crazy woman, meet Tiffini.
I went to the Keith Urban/Dierks Bentley concert on Saturday night with Troy, Tiffini, Nickie and Suzanne. Tiffini told us on the way there that she had only been to one concert in her life. I couldn't understand that, but now I know why. Before it even started, she was all tore up just thinking about it. Then Dierks hit the stage..... "ohhhhh, ohhhhh"...."oh my"......"Oh, look at him"...."Oh my gosh"....."This is something else".....she was carrying on like I don't know what. That lasted the whole time he was on stage. I told her, "you haven't seen anything yet". We go out to the concession stand, and Tiff is fanning herself because she's already worked herself into a sweat. The girl in front of us says "are you hot? it really is hot in here." I said "Girl, it has absolutely nothing to do with the A/C but everything to do with Dierks". She laughed and proceeded to agree and then tell Tiff that this will be her 33rd time to see Keith in concert! What? I love Keith, but I'm not sure I'd pay to see him 33 times.
Anyway, we get back to our seats and wait as patiently as we can on Keith to come on stage. The lights go out, and ladies and gentlemen....it is over for Tiff. She is worried she's about to pass out. She's rocking back and forth, and screaming "oohhhhh, ohhhhhh"....and the sound coming out of her mouth is close to that of a hyena. Then here comes Keith.....she jumps up, screams, jumps up and down, waves, you name it....I've never seen anything like it. I tell Troy, "yea, now I see why you never take her to concerts". :) She is coming unglued people. She is sweating, dancing, making wax on-wax off moves (which apparently is simulating rubbing his chest), talking all kinds of stuff. It is so funny I can hardly contain myself. We are all laughing at her and so is everyone around us. This continues for the entire concert. Even during the slow songs she was sitting there in awe and sometimes rocking back and forth. At one point, Keith goes off stage, and Troy stupidly tells her that he's gonna come up to where we're sitting to sing. Well, she goes ballistic! She is grabbing my arm and trying to pull me out of my chair to go down to where she thinks he's gonna re-appear. I have to calm her down a little...."Tiff, he's not coming up here". And then of course, he didn't. He was on stage again. After the show is over, we run into the 33rd time girl, and she asks Tiff what she thought and of course she was all giddy. Tiff declares she's going to go see him again within a 3 hour drive.
But the best part......We are walking to the truck and Tiff asks where I reckon Keith comes out of the arena. I tell her it's probably way on around the other side of the area where we are. We continue walking and here comes a police car escorting a Tahoe out of the arena. We continue walking and lo and behold, guess who it is. It's KEITH URBAN!!!!!! He looks and me and Tiff and says "Have a good night" in that little accent of his! Are you kidding me? Me and Tiff go crazy and she grabs me and we start chasing the Tahoe like a couple of 16 year olds chasing the Jonas Brothers! We finally decide we are defeated as the Tahoe drives out of sight. We can't believe what just happened, so we keep asking Troy if that really was Keith. "Yes, and baldy was in there too". Baldy, as he refers to, is the bass player for Keith. We really enjoyed watching him too! :) I still get chills every time I tell that story. It was such a good night! I may laugh, but I honestly don't think it would have been as much fun had she not been there. Love you girl!
Look out Nashville, here we come......(Keith will there later in the summer)
