We Went, We Saw, We Rocked with Hannah/Miley and The Jonas Brothers

The Road to the concert was a bumpy one...we had pretty much given up on getting tix when the concert sold out in ten minutes and then people started giving up their tickets for outrageous amounts of money...well, last Saturday when I received an e-mail from the fan club saying more tickets had been released i was still skeptical, but there was HOPE. So, we ended up with awesome tickets that we just paid regular price for....Believe me Jason was whispering in my ear..sell sell..sell.......No selling here.......

Taylor was so excited and the show was "off-the-hook"!

Taylor, Chayse and Danielle...READY, SET...Let's GO!

The Miley Fan Club had a little shindig before the concert..it was outside so we took a lap around and headed in for the heat!

WE LOVE RADIO DISNEY!

Who's Limo is that??? Could it be??

Taylor in front of Miley's bus...people were standing in line for hrs to get pics on the other side of this bus with the Miley "cut-out"!

Taylor, Chayse, Maggie and Danielle...This was Chayse's 10th Birthday present from Aunt Kelli and family! Happy Birthday December 20th Chayse!

Susie and daughter Maggie...

Taylor and Mags waiting for the show...Cotton Candy, Snow cones...Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers..who could ask for more...
The Jonas Brothers opened the show in style....pretty amazing stuff for these three young men!


The girls agreed their favorite act was Hannah Montana! Still eating Cotton Candy after show...

Auntie M's new Abode :-)

We Finally got my Aunt Marica to sell her home in Zionsville and move close to us(WooHoo another free babysitter, just kidding...kinda)....she's literally just down the road in the new "Free Standing" Condo community. There are only about 5 built to date and she is slated to move-in Mid-January! We are so EXCITED to have her this close...Her home will be beautiful..it's all brick and has all wood floors, a three season porch, etc...just perfect for her and any "pooch" that might come along :-)

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Ohh...of course these pics were taken from the car b/c i am not a fan of the cold!

Just some pictures of "our"snow! It was beautiful to wake up and see but the roads and crying kids were another story! Gracie and Ben wanted to go outside so badly and when i finally bundled them up and sent them on their way..i kid you not it only lasted a minute...just too cold and windy! You have to love Indiana....they are calling for 50 degree temps by Saturday :-) Bring it on!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT LORI!!

We hope you have a fantastic Birthday! We MISS and LOVE YOU!!!
