NKOTBSB!!

It can't get any better then NKOTB and BSB joining up for....... NKOTBSB!! This is the greatest thing ever. New Kids was my very first concert. I was in 5th grade the year was 1990 the location was the Provo Marriott center. Oh yeah!! I also hit the Backstreet Boys concert with my peeps in my college days, So when I heard that these awesome bands were joining up, I was so excited. I checked the tour dates and they weren't coming to SLC but they were coming to VEGAS!!! Oh yeah! It keeps getting better!! So we were off and running or driving in our case to Vegas.


We ate at some awesome places, the first night we ate at Dos Caminos, it was an awesome Mexican place.



Chelsea, LeeAnn, Vanessa, Me and Shannon

And of course Max Brenner for brunch, this is such a great place to eat. If you are ever in New York or Vegas you have to go there. The waffles are amazing and the chocolate is to die for.


And now for the concert.

Ready to Rock out!



Oh yeah!!

Hello Donnie







The concert was so awesome! I loved how one group would sing one or two songs and then they would switch off. We joked it was because they are getting old and needed a break :) I wish they would have played all night long.

But....


We had an after party to get to. We got some wristbands from a manager of the club that the after parties were at. Shannon and LeeAnn went to the BSB after party. Chelsea, Vanessa and myself were chasing Donnie and the boys at the Chateau Night Club.


And that is exactly what we did.



This picture cracks me up. When NKOTB walked in the club went crazy. We tried to get close but found our way outside at the gardens instead of in the club. We tried once again to get close and stood on the stairs. Well the club bouncer told us we had to move. I noticed no one was on this walkway right underneath where Donnie was and I asked if we could stand there, he said yes and we made our move. It also just so happened that Donnie Wahlberg dropped his sunglasses and Vanessa was right there to hand them to him. She got a hug and a kiss on the cheek. We were in shock and tried to take a picture. Vanessa was doing her own self portrait which she only got her eye. It was hilarious!

I can't believe we were that close and stayed that close for the next three hours. NKOTB did a little mini concert and then one by one they left and then it became the Donnie Wahlberg party. Which was fantastic!









WOW the night just keeps getting better. Do I have a little something for Donnie. I think so.


Picture from TMZ


I even made TMZ!!! How crazy is that. Thanks Shannon for finding this gem.


All smiles from the weekend and the awesome wristbands from the after party :) Thanks for a fun weekend my traveling peeps!


We also found some fantastic video coverage of us at the after party. I'll try and post that as well. Good times had in the land of Vegas.

Lehi Rodeo

At the end of June Emily and I went to the Lehi Rodeo. Every year I say it is my favorite and it really is. You can't go wrong, awesome hamburgers, Leasel the rodeo clown, those jokes never get old and those Dodge pick up men. Ah you've got to love it.

I can't wait for next year!
