Jake, Maggie, Nicole & Natalie: Last road trip

So I took Nicole on our last road trip as a family of three, too bad Jake was in Alaska. We went ot Shawnee, OK to visit Jakes Aunt and Uncle. Nicole loves going to visit them and seeing them. They live on bit of land so Nicole loves being able to run around and have very little restrictions. Her Uncle PawPaw as she calls Uncle Dennis has a golf cart that she loves to ride and now drive. She told me "mommy, he goes fast" so cute. It was a nice quiet few days of Nicole playing in her new pool and riding around on the golf cart. During this trip I got us tickets to the Oklahoma Relief Concert being hosted by Toby Keith but more importantly featuring Garth Brooks. Garth Brooks is someone I have wanted to see for a number of years. Uncle PawPaw, Nicole ad I headed to Norman, Ok the site of the concert, on the way there we passed by some of the tornado damage that struck the cities of Shawnee and Moore, it was amazing to see the damage that has happened. Makes me pretty happy to be in my home.
All week I had watched the weather for Norman, OK more specifically OU Stadium, it kept showing mild 80's but on game day it was well over 90 degrees and inside the stadium that holds over 88000 people it was hotter. We were on the field about 20 rows back. When we got there the opening act had start already, we thought nearly 2 hrs early was enough time to get there, but again 80 thousand people converging on one town is a lot. The opening act was Mel Tillis and to say Dennis was excited over that would be an understatement. I know he was tagging along for the fun of being with us girls but he was pretty excited to see an act he liked. After Mel was Garth Brooks and joined by Trisha Yearwood another performer I had wanted to see. Garth sang for over an our. At this point we had been in the sun for over 2 hrs and me and baby girl were just about done. So we left with Garth singing The Dance, it was a good time. Nicole doesn't realize it now but she saw a great concert at the young age of 2. Her first concert was in my belly and for the life of me I cant remember who it was we saw.
After the concert me and Nicole headed home the next day. It was a good 4 days in Shawnee, next time we are there we will have a new bundle of love with us.

Speaking of baby, I sure don't remember all these Braxton Hicks with Nicole, Natalie/Alison is kicking my butt. I see the doc on Wednesday and going to see if he really thinks 6 more weeks is doable.

Other than that Jake gets home on Friday and then we start the countdown to Nicole's birthday, Mikes visit and baby girl Chapman.
