YAY! I think we all need time away to the beach. :)

We celebrated Dave's birthday on the 31st of January. That was a fun experience, we are all grateful for what he does.

So for right now this is our news...hopefully we will update soon. :)

Anberlin Concert!!

For Christmas I got tickets to go see the christian rock band Anberlin in concert in Nashville, Tennessee. Not only did I go but I got to share the experience with Leisha, mom and my friend Alison. The drive was about 3 hours there and very long...but we did see snow on the way up! When we finally got to Nashville we couldnt find the venue, Rocketown. We new it was a pretty small venue but we were struggling to actually find it. While turning right on a street mom says, "Wait isn't that the lead singer for Anberlin?!" And Alison and I looked and YES it was him!!! We probably would've jumped out of the car if we could; he was on his way into Rocketown. We found the venue and we decided that we should probably eat somewhere. Alison and I weren't very hungry and decided that we would just grab some McDonalds and then go to wait in line which had already been formed at the venue while Leisha and mom went to a fancier place. Me and Alison waited in line for about 2 hours when mom and Leisha joined us. About 30 minutes later they opened the doors, which definatly saved us because it was very cold outside. We then made our way in and got our little arm bands and proceeded to the room where the concert would be played. We actually got pretty much the front row. There were no seats...it was standing. So Alison and I stayed on the second row and Leisha and mom went to the balcony. They didnt really want to be in the crowd where you would get pushed around. Anberlin wasn't the only band that played...the bands The Becoming, Between The Trees and Madina Lake opened for Anberlin. Of those bands only Between The Trees were really good and of course the oh so amazing Anberlin were great! Anberlin came out and the crowd went wild! Alison and I got very squished but had a blast standing so close! We got so many pictures too! Well...I only got pictures of Anberlin but Alison took some of the other bands. We didn't actually get out until around 11:30 and Tennessee is an hour ahead of Georgia so it was really around 12:30 am our time! Of course then we had to drive 3 hours back! So we didn't get home until really late and then I had to wake up for seminary the next day! Oh ya I went to seminary. We all enjoyed the concert!

Christmas!!!

For Christmas Cara, Tad and Afton all came to visit. They came the Thursday before Christmas and stayed untile the early morning of New Years Eve. We had so much fun getting to know baby Afton and spending time with Cara and Tad. Tyler and Megann also came to spend Christmas with us. Sadly to say...some of us got sick during Christmas break, some more than others. Nonetheless, we endured it and are all feeling much better. We had a left over box and Cara came up with the brilliant idea to make baby Afton a sleigh that she could ride around in. She absolutely loved it!!! We took alot of pictures and loved spending time with each other to celebrate our Savior's birth.

We were very lonely on New Years Eve without Cara, Tad and Afton so we all just lounged around and watched the ball drop in New York along with the Georgia Peach drop. We wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Aaron's Birthday

So the other day we had Aaron's 13th birthday. He got some pretty cool stuff. Tyler and his girlfriend, Meghan came over for his birthday. They got him a paintball gun and all the gear that goes with it. He was pretty excited about that. Jon and Leisha got him a picture of a Texas jersey and football signed by a Texas player, Dale Willis and tickets to see the movie Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. Then my parent's got him tickets to go see an Atlanta Thrasher's hockey game and a pair of basketball shoes since he just recently made the middle school basketball team. Although he did inherit a pair of basketball shoes from one of his friends right after mom and dad bought him the other shoes. So he just took the ones mom and dad bought back to the store and got the money instead. He also got a Texas Longhorns hoodie. Anyway we all had alot of fun celebrating Aaron's birthday.

Crazy Bike Race

So last night I went and hung out with a few of my friends from church. Well our plans kind of messed up so we ended up going to walmart....the local hangout. :) Well....Nikki(my bff) and I decided to have a little kid bike race. I had the smallest bike that I could barely fit in. Well I had a friend video the race so I hope you enjoy! We all had a good laugh.

Singin Katherine

So I sometimes get to watch Katherine (our neighbors daughter) and she loves to jump on the bed and sing songs that I play on the computer. I've been trying to get a video of her singing because it's just so darn cute! She's 2 1/2 and she knows mosst of the words to the songs Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings (thanks to me), All Star by Smashmouth (thanks to shrek), and Shake It by Metro Station (I dont know where she got this one). Well here are a few videos I got of her singing these songs. It's way cute!! Enjoy!!!!

"All Star"-Smashmouth :)

"Check Yes Juliet"-We The Kings :)

"Shake It"-Metro Station

These are so cute!! I just had to share them with everyone. Throughout all these videos she kept saying, "We can jump on the bed!!!" It was really funny. I tried to get her to dance but she only did so much...I'll take what I can get. :)
