Punk "Rock" Stars!






As many of you know, our (Jamey & Andrea) boys are in a punk rock band called "Jakked Rabbits". Some of you may even know that they are spending their summer on tour with 4 to 5 other bigger punk rock bands. They started a non-stop tour on July 1st & it doesn't end until August 2nd with 29 shows in between. They started in Seattle Washington with shows all down the West Coast, all across the US and then up the way up the East Coast. Luckily our boys are used to traveling & they are also used to preforming as a band - what they are having a hard time getting used to is the non-stop moving....

Today is the first day since July 1st that they have been able to sleep in & relax. You may be thinking, well it's only been 5 days since their tour started - yes you are right but when you are used to sleeping in everyday & laying around playing video games, the non-stop (late night) adgenda will most likely take their toll. I just hope Jamey survives! He is the manager & driver of their "tour" RV.

They are having the time of their life & building memories that will hopefully sustain them while they all serve a mission & are away from home. Never did I think after having 4 sons how much fun they would have together. It makes a mother proud! :o)

If you wondered why the kids standing next to the stage weren't looking at the band it's because of this.... the pit of kids running around in cirlces that normally would knock over other people... if you didn't pay attention you might just get run over (hense the people looking at the crowd & not the band).

Another picture of the pit.... they are running so that's why it's a blur.

Wow Andrea, I bet you are missing all of your little punk rock boys. They will be tired when they come home. Good for them!
