The best day EVER!!!

That's what Kirsten had.


For Christmas we gave her a ticket to go to the Hunter Hayes concert (he was opening for Carrie Underwood.) She's been waiting not so patiently for concert day to arrive.

Dax and I drew straws and I got to take her to the concert. (Not really.....he couldn't even begin to imagine being in a venue full of screaming teenage girls.)

She's ready to go, sh even curled her hair.

She took a friend with her and we stopped for lunch on the way.

Kirsten saved up her money and bought a 'coffee house experience' where you actually get to meet Hunter Hayes and have coffee with him.

He signed their cases.

And she got to have her picture taken with him.

 Of course she'll never wash those shoulders again!!!

They did plenty of yelling and screaming during his performance.

 

They had a great time.

 

I can't really tell you a whole lot about it, because this was my view....

 

 

But it's okay, because those two little girls were so excited to be there. They sang along and danced as best they could. It was cute.

 

All in all, it was a very long day - didn't get home until after midnight and I'm getting too old for that - but Kirsten had the best day ever and that makes it all worth it!

 

Concert

Last night the 4th & 5th graders had a concert at school. A recorder concert!!





It was really fun and the kids really enjoyed it. (Wyatt was there but not in any of the pictures because he was hidden behind the teacher.) Although, I have to admit that during the first song I had to turn my head the other way because it was so awful that I got the giggles and I didn't want them to see me laughing. I made Dax take the video camera and tape it though because I felt like the grandparents should have to suffer, uhm, I mean get to enjoy it just like we did. To give you an idea of what this was like, when they practice at home the cat bites them. lol

I do notice though that there are usually only of handful of kids that participate in these types of activities and it's always the same kids. Kinda' sad.

On another note, last night at dinner Wyatt was talking about in PE that he would have been one of the top 5 runners but he slowed down to let someone else in front of him. The reason....because if he was one of the top 5 he would have to do special things to work harder at improving that thing he was good at!! GAAH!! There's nothing like having your son point out that he's underachieving on purpose. *sigh*
