Happy Mother's Day, love Bono

Actually, love Terry. He totally came through for Mother's Day! I got to go see the U2 360 tour with my friends Marie and Liz. Can I just say I love concerts? And can I say I really love U2? This is my 3rd time seeing them live, and they didn't disappoint. Maria and I are concert buddies, we always go to shows together, but she already had tickets for the Minnesota show. Boooo. Hooray for awesome friends, though!

Had dinner with Liz (also a huge U2 fan)


Met up with my other friend Marie for the show (that darn sun was so bright)


Behold, the "Claw"

Bono, in all his glory



Larry Mullen escapes the drum cage



"One"

"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me"

I saw them live for the first time waaaay back in 1997. It was their "Popmart" tour at Rice-Eccles stadium. It rocked. Literally.

It's impossible to see but some really awesome folks put a 2 next to the U (boo old school cameras with no zoom. Seriously, how did we go so long without digital cameras?!)

The "Popmart" set, before the stadium was redesigned (I'm so old)

The band came out of the lemon!!


I saw them again in 2005 for the Vertigo tour. Alas, no pictures, but here is the ticket stub to prove that I was there, and heard of them first, now how do you afford your rock 'n roll lifestyle... okay I'll stop.



If you're even a slight fan of U2, You NEED to see them live! They are one of the best bands ever, and it's amazing to see them live. Much thanks to my pookie for getting me the ticket. I love you!

Tulip Festival

We headed down south for the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving point. It was the second to last day for it, so the tulips were a little wilted, but beautiful nonetheless! I haven't been here for years, so I was really blown away by everything they had. The waterfalls were amazing!! The old people in golf carts, not so much. Much thanks to the guy who took our picture but somehow managed to not actually take our picture. Twice.

They have a really cool play area for kids. This was a stream where you could send the toys from the top and watch it sail to the bottom.

The waterfalls were so huge!!


Only in Utah :)


My favorite color of all the tulips




How cool would a concert be here?


SNAKE!!!


Evan was loving the stroller


Lunch at Culver's. I guess it's popular back East, and I can see why! It was very good and the service is top notch (McDonald's could learn a thing or two from these guys!)


The weather was great. Such a perfect day with my cute little family!
