Jewel!

Last night we went to a Jewel concert at the Riverwind. We wanted to gamble, so we left the kids with a babysitter early and gambled before the concert. Man that is addicting. I started with $20 on the slots and ended up with $40. At one time I was up to $50. Then we played Blackjack. That was fun. I started with $60 and ended up with $65. I got up to $75, but I didn't know when to stop. Jason on the other hand, his luck wasn't with him. He lost about $125. After the fun gambling, we watch the most amazing concert. I love Jewel. She is an awesome singer. It was such a wonderful date. I love going on dates with Jason. We have so much fun together. Frank, Cindy, Jesse, and his girl friend were at the concert too. I wish I could go back to yesterday morning and do it all over again.

Today, we are just laying around. The kids have been playing Underdog. Andrew was crawling around and Jaden was walking him. They watched the movie. I thought it was cute. I need to figure out more activities for my kids. They have watched so much tv lately. I know it is because we have been snowed in. I will probably make them play outside later this afternoon.

Let it Snow!

Yesterday when we woke up it looked like it was snowing outside. After going out and touching it we realized it was icing outside. I have never seen snow that wet. It was 18 degrees out, and the crazy kids wanted to go out and play. Since they have only seen snow a few times, I let them go out. I timed them, because I knew they wouldn't last long. They went out at 11:08 and came back in at 11:14. I hope they last longer when we go skiing in March. That is right, I get to go skiing the first weekend in March. I can't wait! I think I am going to do a count down. 30 days until I hit the slopes! I haven't been in like 5 years, and we are going with some of our friends Chris and Christina Hayes. So exciting...

ICE!

Man it is icy.... I hate ice. It is so dangerous. I just hope we get to keep our power. I think it is pretty cool how it gives our driveway spots, but that is the only thing cool about it. The weather says that it is only going to get worse tomorrow. So I guess I will have another lazy day tomorrow.

CONCERT!!!

BRAD PAISLEY

DIERKS BENTLEY

DARIUS RUCKER

ME, MOM, AND RE!

This past weekend I got to follow my dream... I saw BRAD PAISLEY. OMG he was sooooo awesome. Words can't explain how exciting this night was for me. I got to see the most amazing man in the world with some of my favorite people. I didn't really know Darius Rucker very well, but he did AWESOME. I didn't think I knew much of Dierks Bentley's song. Surprisingly, I knew every one of them. He is steaming hot. But BRAD, oh Brad, he was just the best thing I have ever seen in my life. He sang "When I get where I'm going" and I cried... I love that song. He also sang every song that I love. I think he knew I was there and knew what I would like.. I am smitten. I don't think there is anything that could top this night for me.

I am excited because Friday... I AM GOING ON A DATE.... We have tickets to JEWEL (another one of my favorites) at the RIVERWIND casino. I plan on gambling just a little and hanging out with Jason. It will be AWESOME FUN.. I can't wait. I am all smiles these days.

Dance Recital and Karate Performance

Jaden had her dance recital... She did such a wonderful job. One of the funny things that happened was she told her teacher that she had a booger... She is such a doll... :)

At Andrew's Karate performance, he did an awesome job. I was so proud of him. He told me "I got embarrassed..." The funny thing is he clowned around the whole time. After the first song he fell face first (like he was passing out) then the rest of his class did too. It got everyone laughing. He is NOT a shy boy.

Incredible Pizza!

Today was went to Incredible Pizza. It was a lot of fun. We went to a place similar to it in Austin and the kids loved it. I love going places as a family. We all have such a wonderful time. The cool thing was there was this area with vacuum type tubes that up put balls in and then it spit them out at you. The kids played there most of the time, and it didn't cost anything. After playing hard this afternoon, we came home and Jason went to work. I am now making a casserole and the kids are watching "The Pirates who don't do anything" VeggieTales movie. They really like it. We will probably turn in early because nothing is on TV and I am pretty much caught up on house work.

Oh and Andrew just drew me a picture of a penguin. He has on a flower hat with funny ears and flowers in his pockets. It is the silliest penguin I have ever seen. I love it when he draws me pictures.

Family time!

I love days like today. We had a fun family day. I think we have finally figured out how to go to the mall without a bunch of tears. Andrew doesn't like to shop and Jade likes to shop too much. She is very picky and already picks out her clothes. The problem is she doesn't know how to look at the price tag and I have to tell her "No" a lot. However, today we did it with little tears. I told the kids before we went to Sooner Mall that if they where good, we would let them play in the play area. So every time they whimpered, we just mentioned the play area. I think from now on that is how I am going to shop. Bribing is the best thing right now.. I don't know if it is right or not, but it sure worked today.
