Final 4 Saturday.....

Ahhh, what a day we have had......and the weather today was gorgeous....a nice 85-87 degrees....with no humidity.....So we headed out the door around 10.30am......Off to downtown we went.....We had a great time down at River Center, The Riverwalk and at the Big Dance/Pontiac Garage Fan Fair.....Talk about electric......River Center Mall and the Riverwalk were full of fans and News Crew, we actually sat and watched part of ESPN's College Gameday......Just packed but awesome.....We saw tons of fans for Memphis and Kansas.....after getting some shirts and enjoying some people watching we headed over to the Convention Center for the Pontiac Garage at the Final Four , it was actually on a blocked off street next the the convention center (Hoop-City was in the Convention Center)....It was pretty cool.....they had a big stage, we caught most of Puddle of Mudd's performance.....which was good, they played a few new songs and few old favorites.....you know the kind you know the words to and then reality hits you and your like, Yeah I guess that was Puddle of Mudd that sang that song....any way.....Here is a video of when we rolled in.....Mikiah was dancing until we turned the camera on her....


And here we moved a little bit away from the stage, lets just say it was LOUD....the girls are enjoying some Kettle Corn and of course I am eating guess what.....a $3 Gordita.....I know addicted.....I now think mine are equally good if not better.....Love the end of this video....I really do not think the kids thought they were being recorded....



And lastly here are some pics from Joel/Shawn's night at the Final Four Salute and from today.....


We were not downtown for too long today.....We actually made it home in time to mow the lawn (yes we dropped serious coin at Home Depot last night).....I must say our lawn looks tons better.....we still have more work to do tomorrow but that will be fun.......The girls love being outside.....we finished the night with some Homemade BBQ Burgers and Ritas on the Rocks......Sooooo Good.....On one final sleeping note......I must say, Miss Lila is turning into a good sleeper.....She now falls right asleep in her crib with a little hand holding....I think I sit in there for about 5 min after I lay her down hold her hand for a little bit while she finally drifts off the sleepy land......She still wakes up 2-3 times a night and I run up and stay with her until she is back asleep...its usually only a few mins...and she still joins us around 5.00am every morning....I am just so happy to have her finally getting some good sleep.....Like I said yesterday I do miss sleeping with her but it is nice to cuddle with the hubby all night........
