More Jonas

Bowing to the SCREAMING girls...
Going down the middle for the final goodbye.
Miley and Nick...
The icing on the cake from this concert was that Miley Cyrus came out and sang a song with Nick at the end of the show. It was an awesome surprise!!

Having the time of her life!
I think that he(Nick) was singing this to me :) Chris and I were both amazed at how talented he was. He played the guitar, piano, and sang.
Joe...
At this point Caden was all smiles.
Jordan Sparks was the opening act along with a boy band called Honor Society

Jonas Brothers..Before the Concert...

Chris and I purchased these tickets a very long time ago. We gave the kids the tickets as a surprise at Easter time. I knew that the kids would want to go to see the concert and I was hoping that Chris would go with me to take them. I think that he just went to check out the new stadium, but we were both VERY surpised at how much we enjoyed it. It was a great time.
Standing outside the stadium. You could hear the screaming girls from inside the stadium as we were walking from the parking lot towards the stadium. I don't think that I've ever heard as much screaming as I did that evening.




This was our view of the stage from our seats.

10885 108th Place...Osseo, Minnesota

Was where we lived from when I was 2 until the end of 5th grade when we moved to Illinois. The house didn't used to be this color and everything sure did look a whole lot smaller. My brothers and I stopped here on our way back to Minneapolis. It was fun seeing all of the places that we used to hang out and ride our bikes through. Not to mention sledding down the huge hills and remembering my dad's HUGE garden. Fun times!!


This was the steeple from our old church that we went to. St. Vincent de Paul's Catholic church. They built a new HUGE church, but the retirement community kept the steeple from the old church.

Matthew's Graduation June 2009

On the last day of school this year I hopped on a plane with two of my brothers to Minneapolis. We stayed in Elk River, MN, on Friday night so that my brother Steve could see a friend of his from high school. We ate dinner with them and then made it to the hotel. I was exhausted from all the activity that day and was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Saturday morning we drove to Duluth for the graduation party. We were about 2 1/2 hours in the car and made it there uneventfully. Thank goodness :) Here are some pics from the party and then we all went to dinner that evening. It was great to see everyone.

I think that the best part of the trip was spending time with my brothers. It usually never happens without spouses or kids and it was a great time. We all fought like siblings the whole trip, but we had a lot of trips down memory lane and a lot of laughs too.
