Birthdays, Birthdays and more Birthdays!

This past week was full of Birthday celebrations.

Last Thursday, January 31st was Lauryn Renee Ball's FIRST birthday. I was so priveledged to be invited to the party...and of course I took my camera!







Then on Saturday, my mom, dad, sister and I went to the Carrie Underwood & Keith Urban Concert in Rochester. We decided to go up early, grab some dinner at the Dinosaur BBQ, get a hotel room for the night and go to the concert. It's a good thing we got a room because the concert didn't get over until 11:30! But it was so AMAZING and SOOOOO worth it!

I took my camera and zoom lens..we had amazing seats, straight on, but the zoom lens definitely helped! Check out these shots!

The concert was sponsored by Verizon and you could text a message to a specific number and your message would show up on the jumbo-tron!

Katie's idea was to take a picture of the concert "countdown" when it got to 54..my dad's AGE!

Here are some shots of Carrie's portion of the concert...mom, dad and Kate were a little lost because she sang a bunch from her new album...but because I have her new cd, i knew every word!




Carrie did amazing, and totally set the stage for Keith, but we had no idea what kind of show we were in for! Keith has an amazing passion for music and performing, and you could totally tell. I have so much more respect for him as a musician!

Carrie even came out and sang a song with him. They sang "Umbrella" by Rhianna but with a contry twist (hense the banjo)...but I thought it was great!

Back to the Keith Urban portion...

We had such a great time, and was totally worth the driving, eating, and $$ involved!

So Happy Birthday to my dad and 1 year old baby Lauryn...I'm so glad I could share in your day!
