K-State Dreams Come True

The next day after the Jim Breuer concert, my parents and brother headed home and we headed to Manhattan to make Blake's dreams come true. He was taking Jaxon to his first K-State football game. This meant so much to Blake to share this with his son. Jaxon is at the perfect age to understand it and be really excited for it all.

On the way!

We were killing time until our room was ready. Unfortunately Jemma was in desperate need of a nap. She had a melt down right after these photos.

Jemma and I dropped off the boys to go to the game. Blake took Jaxon around campus and showed him around. They did a lot of walking Jaxon said. Blake took photos on his phone at the game so I will add soon.

Jemma and I went shopping. She did really well after she'd had a nap.

Jim Breuer

On Friday, September 13 we (my parents, my brother, the kids, Blake, and I) all headed up to Kansas City. Dustin got Blake tickets to one of his favorite comedians, Jim Breuer, for his birthday way back in April. He got 4 tickets which means we had an extra and I really wanted to go so I asked my parents to go and watch the kids. I would have left them for a night but the next day Jaxon and Blake went to the K-State game (next post).

The Chiefs were playing that weekend and they were having a sort of pep rally close by where we were downtown so we all checked it out before parting ways.

We didn't stay for all of it. We wanted to eat before the show. We picked a pizza place right where the Chiefs rally was.

Jemma has become quite the Grandpa's girl lately. She knows how to twist him around her finger.

Then we parted ways. We had an extra ticket so my brother's friend (and ours) Jeremy went with us.

The show was at the Midland which was gorgeous. My photos didn't turn out very well but it was really nice. We were only a few rows from the stage so we had great seats.

We hung around and got autographs on some books. This was the comedian that opened for Jim.

We also have a pic of Blake with Jim but it's on the iPhone so I'll have to get it.
