Jessica Simpson & D-Backs, Like Beets &Pancakes


Last weekend Jeff and Keldon went to Eagar with the Lakeshore Bishopric and Young Men for a wood-hauling service project. We had season tickets for the game Friday night, and I thought it would be fun to bring Danielle, Chandler, and Cheyanna to the game. Chandler and Cheyanna participated in the Tempe Library Program this summer and each earned a ticket to a D-Backs game. It was a perfect opportunity to have some fun. We were especially excited to get the Dan Herring bobble heads they were giving away, and to see the free concert afterwards. The game was a nail biter and the D-Backs should have won, but lost in overtime by 2. That was disappointing, but we were still excited to see Jessica Simpson in the live concert.

The game was sold out and had over 45,000 in attendance. There were more people that stayed for her concert than usual and they had to move her to the middle of the field. From we were sitting we couldn’t see her at all, even from the front row. She started her concert kinda blah and blabbed about her problems and woes in life. Yah,terrible life. She is supposed to be a “country singer” now, but being a lifelong country fan I feel authoritative enough to say that she isn’t a Reba by any stretch. I do have to have to say though we could barely hear her, because she was drowned out by the band. She is beautiful and seems sweet, but I don’t think she will make it as a country singer even if she is from Texas and dating Tony Romo quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. She even made a comment about the Cowboys going all the way. Helloo? You are in Arizona??? Ever heard of the Arizona Cardinals? Anyway we left after 3 songs, but it was fun to go to the ballgame and spend time with the kids.
