Number 2 (two months late)

The man himself... and our AWESOME seats! I can't say enough good about Brad Paisley. First of all he had watched the music video they had made with the local kids before he met them. He came out and knew Trey's name before even talking to us. It went a little bit like this!

BRAD: Hey buddy! Is your name Trey?

Trey: Um, yeah. (with a bit of a flabbergasted look on his face)

BRAD: Hey Trey, I just want you to know how honored I feel to have you here and in my video tonight. You look like a pretty cool guy, Trey.

TREY: You ah a pwetty cool guy too. And I like ya song, ya know da one wewcom to da fewcha?
BRAD: (laugh) Yeah I like it too!

From that point on they were buddies! For some reason Brad really singled Trey out. He spent by far the most time with Trey, and he continued to come back to Trey over and over again. He was so sweet I could hardly believe that he is a celebrity!
Backstage and my FAVORITE picture!
They let the kids ask Brad questions if they wanted... This was Trey's: "Hey Bwad? What do YOU wanna be when you gwow up"?!!? To which everyone had to laugh! He was just so sweet and innocent.
WOW! What beautiful brown eyes you have, BRAD! This was NO zoom! I was sitting on my chair and this is how close he was to me!
Once again, Brad is taking care of Trey and made sure to keep him safe!
Trey LOVED every minute of this night!
The cutest little boy EVER!!! He wanted to mock everything Brad did in every picture. If Brad changed his "stance"...so did Trey!
Dinner at Pei Wei! We love it.
Lainey and Adi. The two cutest girls at the concert! They were so cute and funny!
This is the lady from the radio station! Trey fell in love with her! We spent a lot of time with her before meeting Brad. She took to Trey as well and was so sweet. Trey had to hold her hand while I carried him. He would kiss her hand and tell her he loved her! And it was all over... an iphone!
Lainey, Me, Adi, Jim, Trey and Kimmi, and our awesome shirts we got made!
This is kind of a long one...so hang in there. So Trey had told me a couple of weeks before the concert that he was going to be famous and I was going to have to be really nice to him. (see previous post) While Trey and I were backstage, the rest of our group were watching the opening acts. I guess Lainey was so excited to tell EVERYONE that her brother and her mom were backstage meeting Brad Paisley! When we came out there was people by us who asked Trey if he was Trey and if he had been backstage. He of course said yes and told them all about it. They were hysterical and telling him how famous he was now. To which he said "I KNOW". wow! So they of course proceeded to ask him to AUTOGRAPH things for them, water bottles, blankets and my fave, A HOODIE! He just thought it was normal, I guess! When he had signed several things, he had to ask "ya sha ya don't want me to sign anything ewse? Boy did that go to his head!
The radio station also had given us general admission seats, but then when we got there, they upgraded them! This pic was also taken from my seat with no zoom! It was amazing!
Lain and Trey...Best Buds
WOW!
Starting to get tired! He fell asleep the song before his famous video was on the ginormous screen. I woke him up and he was so mad at me! He finally got over it when he saw himself about 3 stories big!
What pretty little buddies!
And the end of it... the pins coming out of his elbow. It was finally all healed and he was allowed to start kindergarten 6 weeks late. He is making good progress now and we are even done with the wheelchair. YAY! He is a smart little man and is constantly reminding us that he doesn't need to go to school because he "ahwedy knows evwy fing day teach"!
I know, kind of gross, but he made me promise I would put this picture on to show Grandpa Mac and Taylor! He already has the CHICKS DIG SCARS thing down I guess!
