Combine Life And Youth Together; One Never Stops: October 2009

Me and the kiddos sat down tonight, after a long day of holding and cuddling with Doss because he was under the weather, and put in a movie that we have had for almost two months now. Yes Bran and I have a subscription to Netflix and we forget to watch the movies. Plus we also forget to send them back to get new ones. So in all honesty we could probably just buy the movies out right, not pay the subscription every month, and come out ahead. Anyway back on point! The movie that we were putting in was Evan Almighty. Right after we got sat down with our popcorn, snuggled in, and the movie started, I glanced out the window and noticed the most beautiful rainbow. What a coincidence, huh!?!? We thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, I know that I already have a post about my kids with a rainbow, but there is just

something about these things that I love ;)

It was absolutely magnificent!!!

While Doss and I were admiring the front yard, Sky had ran around to look at the back. And much to our surprise it was just as beautiful. So here are a few shots I took. I hope you enjoy. We sure did!! :)

All this also comes from the LORD Almighty,

wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom-Isaiah 28:29

I am fixing to share with you guys my daughters first concert experience! But first off I would like to ask you to keep my best friend Nikki and her son in your prayers. He turned 4 on Saturday and had a wonderful birthday party, but after the party he went home to check out all of his gifts and tried on a pair of roller blades that he got and had an accident. Needless to say he broke his leg and is in a lot of pain. So please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers so that Cash will be able to get back to his bubbly self again soon. We love you Cash and are praying for a very quick recovery.

For Skylee's 3rd birthday she had a sleepover with 8 of her closest girlfriends!!! It was so much fun!! But to top the party off, a special guest popped in for a quick concert. It was none other than the, "Hannah Montana!" Hannah and Lola danced around with the girls and sang a few songs. Skylee was star-struck! ;) We didn't get a chance to go see her in concert last year so when we heard that Miley was coming to a city near us we decided to settle for her. The closer time got to the concert the more nervous I got. Like for instance....

1. Will Sky's ears take it? (She has very sensitive ears, when we go to public bathrooms she puts her hands on her ears and flushes with her elbow.)

2. Can Charity and I drive to Little Rock by ourselves? (Neither of us do much of that.)

3. Will Sky be able to stay awake for it? (You will see in a moment that this one was a bit iffy.)

4. Will Miley be appropriate for my 4 year old? (This was the BIG one!!)

So here we go!!! I am going to show you our Miley Cyrus Concert Journey! This is us on the way. There are gonna be lots of pics so bear with me ;)

We listened to the Miley Cyrus CD all the way because the only songs Sky and I knew were Party In The USA and Fly On The Wall. We were trying to learn them quickly

;) So this is Sky singing Party In The USA!

We couldn't decide where to eat so we settled for Olive Garden.

We love their salad and bread sticks!

This was us waiting outside for our table. It was such a beautiful day.

I love this little girl ;)

We couldn't have had any better company with us than my sister and my niece Jacie and Charity! Jacie cracked us up when she dropped her crayons on the floor and went under the table to get them and came up saying, "Wow we are in a real restaurant, they have carpet on the floor!"

Here we are again!

This is us walking up to the arena! The girls were super excited!!!!!

Sky holding her ticket waiting to get in!

And here we are!! All decked out in our $35 Miley shirts and $10 light up sticks that are a dollar at the dollar store. But what do you do? This was her first concert :)

This was our view. We had pretty good seats :0) Sky is ready and waiting!!!!

Too much waiting actually. She feel asleep before the first show!

I debated on posting this picture but here is Miley's Brother Chase that opened for her.

Yeah not really our cup of tea. He was more of a Hard Rock kind of guy.

Then the show began! I was told by many different people that went to the Memphis show that previous Wednesday that this show was very risque. So I was on the look out for the provocative moves and we were prepared to leave early. Charity and I debated on even going, but since we had already bought the tickets and the girls were excited we decided that we could just leave if need be. And it turned out that she must have gotten in trouble from the Memphis show or she just toned it down for Little Rock because it was a very kid friendly show. Well minus her short, short, shorts. But at least she wasn't showing anything.

So here are some pics from the concert.

Miley flying over the crowd during the song Fly On The Wall! Sky thought that was pretty cool.

Throw Your Hands In The Air--Party In The USA!!!

In the end, we had a really good time. It was great to get away with my sis and the girls and have a girls night! But we will probably just strictly stay with Hannah Montana from now on to be on the safe side ;)
