How you know you've arrived!!!!

I just wanted to share this picture with everyone... This is from the men's bathroom in Shreveport, Louisiana.












Look closely at the picture over the top of the urinal!!!!

Ahhhhhh!!!!! Tobi

Winchester, TN with Aaron Tippin




This was our first show with Aaron and I have to say he is an awesome entertainer......And he doesn't look too shabby in those skin tight Wrangler's neither......Whoo Baby!!!!! Here are a couple pictures from our show. And Lisa and I got to meet Tracy Hayworth, former Tennessee Volunteer who went on to play for the Detroit Lions. That's pretty cool to us football fans.

And I was truly lucky to have my family there....So here is a picture of mom, Gary, my Aunt Vicki, and Bob. This was our first show in Winchester and the people were great. Thanks for welcoming us into your town. I hope we get back in the area soon. Thanks again Winchester.......Tobi

Thunder Beach Panama City

Once again we were lucky enough to get to go to the Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort and play for bike week. I have to be honest, it was great but just recently we lost our dear friend Gary Hundley. He ran the resort and he was the man who brought us to Thunder Beach for the first time. We had a great time, but it wasn't the same without him. We miss you Gary and we will never forget you.

























After we took a moment and raised our glasses to Gary, the party started. These are pictures from the 3 days we were there. That's my buddy Dugger singing with Rachel.

Then someone in the audience made the claim of being our #1 Fan. Well to prove it they had to strip down on stage and dance with us. Well, Mr. Manning, you are certainly at the top of the list when it comes to our best fans..... Sexy Sexy!!!! To all the bikers We Love You and we will see you in the Fall....Ride Safe!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!

When you are out on the road together as much as we are you really do become a family. So when it came to Sarah's birthday we wanted to get her something special. For anyone who knows Sarah you know she is always reading a book. She loves to read. We have witnessed her over the years carrying extra suitcases just for books. So we all chipped in and got her this cool little thing they call the Kindle. It was absolutely the perfect gift for her. It stores hundreds of books. All you have to do is download them.




So Happy birthday Sarah and may your back never hurt again from carrying your books. We love you!!!!!! Tobi

The Story of the Fly

Many people often ask us, "What happens on a bus with a bunch of girls?" Well, folks, let me be the one to answer that question for you. The time was roughly around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. We were sitting around and everyone was just a little hungry. The door on the bus had been opened and closed several times and let's just say a fly flew in. After several attempts to catch the fly, we were getting annoyed. Then Brenda makes the comment, "If someone catches that fly and eats it I'll give them ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!" Now everyone knows we have been in the studio instead of on the road working, so let's be honest, we all kinda needed the money, but Mandy was the first to act. With lightening speed she leaped toward the window and cornered the little fella. Injured but still alive, she had it in her hand. Now I documented the whole event so you know THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!!











Here Mandy has the fly and they are discussing the terms of the agreement.




Mandy is very happy at this point because Brenda isn't backing out.

There's the hundred dollar bill on Mandy's lap.










Now Brenda wants to make sure nothing shady goes down so Mandy has to show the fly on her tongue.






And then, with a water chaser, the fly meets his demise right into the pit of Mandy's stomach...HMMMMM!!! So
Brenda sat there for a few moments realizing she had just lost One Hundred Dollars. Mandy felt bad and we noticed there was another fly in the bus. So the bet was reversed. All the same rules applied. So Brenda caught the fly but then quickly realized she really had to eat it to get her money back. Contemplating.....Yes.... But Money's Money. Down the hatch it went and Brenda got her money back.

Now seriously you have to ask yourself who truly won in the whole experience. Well hell it was everyone sitting on the bus laughing our butts off as the whole thing unfolded. This has to be one of the best memories ever for being on the road.......I love traveling with these girls.....Never a dull moment. Tobi

SHOWTIME on the Boat

Finally it is time to play on the Cruise ship! I have to tell you a little story about this. When we got on the boat we found out that our show was not open to the public. Well you all know us--we wanted everyone on that boat to come and party with us and our fans. So we started telling everyone we met on the cruise to come to our show, all the way down to having it announced at dinner. Well, we didn't think anything of it, but come showtime the cruise director came down and told us NO WAY! This is not a public show. Well, by then we had folks standing outside waiting to get in and they weren't gonna let them in. So who comes in to save the day? The Captain of the boat himself! He came up on stage and announced us and then told the Cruise Director to leave us alone and let everyone have fun. So the flood gates were opened, the people poured in and it was showtime. (There's a whole lot more to that story but that's the short and sweet version. If you want to know more, ask us!)

















We had so much fun. I have to say we are truly blessed to have the support of friends and
family and fans that will take time out of their busy schedules to come and spend a week on a boat with us. I say and I mean it..... we are lucky to have all of you in our lives. Thanks for coming on the trip with us. If you have any pictures from the cruise, send them to me. We love you guys and thanks for the dancing.....the drinking......the tanning.....and the waterslide....... Tobi

The Fun Off The Boat!!!!!!

While we stopped off in the Bahamas.... everyone kinda went and did there own thing....... Brenda,Lisa,Sarah,and Mandy all went snorkeling.....Which somehow led to swimming with the SHARKS!!!!!! Duh dum Duh dum Duh dum Duh dum......... Thank goodness everyone returned with all there arms and legs.....



Tom, Tracy, Christy Jake and I all went swimming with the Dolphins.... I will try to get some pictures up eventually of all these things. I do have to say it was an amazing experience with the dolphins.... We hung out all day at this resort called...ATLANTIS!!!!! It is Awesome. You can just take a look at the water and imagine how beautiful it was and how lucky we were to be there........


Now If you noticed I didn't mention Rachel in all of this......That's because she was in the Casino....... Little Miss Crapsalot!!!!!( that means playing lots of craps) Did she win....You'll have to ask her... But I will tell you that in the blackjack tournament 3 girls from Mustang Sally made the final table........ But none of us won....... Close but no Cigar!!!!

Fun Day at Sea....... Cruising

These are just a few photos of family and friends on the big boat. This is a picture of a really good friend....Teri. If you notice she's sitting at the bar.....Whoo Hoo Mai Tais for everyone!!!!!






Oh My Gosh!!!!!!! I forgot to tell you! ELVIS was on our cruise! Not really, but it sure looks like it. We did a little karaoke and this is Gary Braun singing a little "Hunk-a-hunk-a burnin' love."






And I bet you would never guess this is Brenda's brother Joey!!!I guess you could say the hair runs in the family. No wait...... that's Brenda with facial hair.... Okay, Okay, that's not Brenda......

Jason Mitchell

We had the pleasure of working with the extremely talented and even more extremely sexy Jason Mitchell. These are just a few photos from his show.








What a Cutie Pie!!!!!!













This is a picture of Jake, Lisa and myself at Jason's show.
And then I'm not sure how it happened, but somewhere in the middle of all this Brenda and some fellow Minnesotans busted into the Chicken Dance!


It was a great show, Jason and we had a blast working with you......Tobi

Country Music Cruise.....The first day at sea!!!!

First of all I want to thank Linda and Jimmy Bearden for setting up our very first Country Music Cruise. Actually, my very first cruise period. I'm not gonna sit here and say I didn't get seasick because I wasn't on the boat ten minutes before the nausea began. So after taking the recommended medication-dramamine-and the motion sickness bracelets, things slowed down right before our Meet and Greet. This is a picture of Mustang Sally with Linda and Jimmy.








and these are just a couple of pictures of us.

Standing in the middle of all of us on this picture are our coordinators of the cruise, Mike and Terri Chastain. Thanks for having us on this cruise. The next picture is a dear friend of the band's and has been for years, George Quigley. George, we love you and thanks for always being so good to us.

These are just a few photos from the first day and the meet and greet....... Tobi
