Jason Aldean & King George

WARNING:

due to overload of Hotness leads to overload of pictures

 

 

Back in October I anxiously awaited for it to be 10am so I could race to get presale tickets and at first I had few panic attacks with his password code but then the answer I had hoped for appeared. We got the tickets whew thank goodness but as all the others began to call and were disappointed due to sold out tickets I felt bad for them knowing we were all going to go together. I knew that if the presale sales out then they were not going to have any luck when the public ticket sales began because there was none to give so I thought why not trying stubhub.com and Bam they had some. They were selling those tickets so high I honestly thought about selling mine and making some money honey.

We checked into the Casino and had a little time to kill so we decided to go the Casino bar a grab a drink and while there Nick said let me show yal how to loose 20.00 in a hurry. We are not gamblers so sticking money into a slot machine was the last thing I expected and 20 bucks...WHAT? If it was on the blackjack table I could understand due to better odds but just sticking that much in the machine to see how fast you could loose it...you have got to be crazy.
Due to our surprise it hit and he walked away 68.00 richer Whoohoo
 

 

 All 24 of us met up at Superior Grill to have drinks and dinner before the concert.
They are know for the Margaritas

 

 Everyone was trying to get pictures and so after tons of pictures I realized I didn't get any so I whipped out my phone and I heard..... NOPE I'm not taking anymore
So I talked him into 1 and this is what I got

The SIL and I, you know we have to do our SILs pics

 

 Jason Aldean put on one the best shows I have ever seen and he only played an hour.
But he always brings it so it was no surprise. He connects with the crowd and just brings the house down. He played my favorite Aldean song: When she says BabyI will say...he needs to take a razor to his chest (gag) I cant stand men who do not wear a t-shirt under their shirt.

We had great seats, the stage was in the center and we were directly in the center and right above on of the 4 corners they sing at. However Im not a fan of center stage.

 

 

 

 Its the one and only GEORGE walking down to get on stage.
Be still my heart



This is where I was like OMG he has aged

I mean I guess it is about time since he is a few months shy of 62

 

When Jason hopped on stage I was like please don't ruin a George song but he did amazing and I didn't want him to leave I wanted him to do more 



George is one hot piece of  ass and will always be but I was so disappointed in his performance. He was tired and not into it and even made the comment they added more songs than I planned. I have seen him before and he is a funny man and has a quirky sense of humor so I was expecting to see that side again. He played mostly 80's songs and I was just done after an hour of him performing I even looked at the hubs and said can we leave now. So I think that cowboy needs to ride away with a performance like that. He has just so old to cut the mustard and that saddens me because I know there will never be another George. Not only can he sing but can ride a horse and rope....HOT right there

Cajun Quick Fix

I love good ole Cajun cooking but sometimes I just don't have the time for all these delicious recipes. I have finally found a perfect way to get my Cajun on in a hurry and super easy.

Normally I would use Louisiana Cajun Etouffe mix and go directly by the package directions until I had Sunday dinner at the SILS and had fixed it but I knew it didn't taste the same and it was creamier and richer and I was in love. I just had to figure out how she did it and give it a try so without further I do......

SILs Louisiana Etouffee

 

2 packages of Louisiana Etouffe mix

2 sticks of butter

 

 

 

brown on low heat in boiler until a nice rich rusty color

 

 

 

add 4 cups of water

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 package of crawfish tails about a pound

1 package of baby shrimp about 8oz

Mix together and come to a boil, stir often

 

 

After mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.

add about 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes

Serve Over Rice an enjoy

 

 

 

 

As far as the rice here you go simple but scrumptious

the cube will add an extra flavor to rice without tasting like chicken

 

 

and for another fast and easy secret I add these

lay foil down in your pan and then makes for easy clean up

 

 

 

 

Add a salad and you have yourself a feast

 

 

 I don't mix my rice into my Etouffee  because I like to freeze the left over Etouffee.

 When ready to eat again thaw warm on low heat and make another batch of rice.

 I can easily get 2 meals out of this

 

 

What are some of your favorite fast and easy meals?

Country Bumpkins

The kids were getting a little stir crazy inside we Daddy suggested we should go squirrel hunting and that Rhett and Mauri could shoot their BB gun in the tree line at birds. Of course they were all in agreement with that so off we go.

Ringo is our new blue heeler

Everywhere Rhett goes Ringo goes

It is something about a boy and his dog that makes me melt



 

Daddy helping Mauri shoot and giving her tips

poor Ringo cant help it he is wanting to heel something

 

Kindo of had to see but Rhett propped his gun up on that tree and now taking a pee

You cant do that in the city or they will get you for indecent exposure 

 

Now the squirrel hunting is underway, off the go 

 

Being Maci is older and has a lot more gun experience she went with a 12 gage

Just using her Daddy to prop up on and of course he loved every minute of it.

Rhett got him some squirrels and couldn't wait to take them to Mamaw to fry them up

I don't eat or cook them so off to Mamaws they go

Doing things like this is not only a family bonding time but a time to teach gun safety and practice it. I am a believer in repetition so this provides not only hearing it but putting it to use and benefits the kids so much.
I realize how lucky we are to be able to live where we live and the sacrifices are well worth it in my book.

Momma has still got it

A few months ago the kids went skating for a birthday and while there I was trying to help them improve and the kids didn't really take me serious. Once we got in the car and was talking about how much fun it was and I started telling them my skating memories. The didn't to much believe me so I said right then and there that while out on break we would go and I would show them. Over Thanksgiving we didn't get to make it plans got changed. When I got a call from one of my friends who our kids love and adore other as we do we had a skate date.
As I laced up my skates I was thinking surely this is just like a bike once you do it it will come right back to ya. I couldn't let the kids think I was nervous so I took to the rink and bam Momma has still got it. Once I went around a few times and got the feel of it again I decided I would either show them my old tricks or make them laugh. It could only go 2 ways. I did it I could still skate backwards and then it was time for the Limbo and I gave it a try also. Yes we did it and beat most of the kids too. My friend and I laughed and we had the best time making memories with our children.

 

Please excuse the LSU shirts folks sometimes she just aint right...

Chas if you are ready this Don't sit at the LSU table lol

We are rivals but can love each other through it and that's what makes us

It was so much fun and I know I am going to be very very very sore but well worth it. I think I need to add this to my workout routine. I don't know why I don't take the kids more often but I think this is the starting of our skating habit.

New Years Eve

I couldn't remember the last time we stayed up and actually made it to midnight and while talking with the hubs we decided to go and make a date night out of it. I didn't know what we were going to do but I knew I wanted Sushi so we made reservations at Ronin Japanese Hibachi Steak & Sushi and was just see how we felt.



My hot date for the night

 

My SIL and I

 

My Boo who I am blessed to be able to share this wonderful journey called life with

 

After we ate we decided to swing by a friends bonfire and hangout and enjoy everyone's company.

Fun time catching up and chitchatting with the girls

It was fun and I am proud to say I made it until midnight yal. Whoopwhoop that's how I know 2014 is going to be an awesome year.
