george winston



Scott took the three older kids and I to see George Winston in concert on Friday night at the Mesa Arts Center.
Scott has always loved his music and wants all of us to love it too. Before we were married he would play George for me all the time and he still listens to him today. When he told me we were going to this concert, he mentioned that the older kids were coming and they needed this experience. They needed more culture in their life. I agreed and went along. I knew deep down that Taylor and Cooper would be totally bugged and bored by it. Taylor, because she would be missing out on a Friday night with her friends and Cooper, just because he couldn't talk for a few hours... haha. Austin, of course loved it, as I knew he would!

When you go somewhere with Scott, you are always early. So here we are waiting to get in. Is this pathetic or what...??? I had to get this picture of our teenagers on their phones and i~pods. I am sure I was guilty too?!


I tried to get the boys to come out and take some pictures around the complex with Taylor, but they declined. What an amazing facility. Taylor and I walked around and admired the place and took some pictures of her and killed some time.



The concert was really good but a little long, even for me. Scott and Austin loved every minute of it. Taylor and Cooper took a couple of cat naps and kept giving me that look like.... help me! We went and ate at Charlestons after and had a great visit with our kids. I am grateful Scott made this happen, we agreed that it will be happening more often. Hanging out on the weekends with your teenagers is actually really fun! We laughed our heads off!

I ran across your blog from Sara Crawfords blog and just wanted to to say Hi and tell you how adorable and grown up your family is.
You are also a great photgrapher and blogger. I'm so bad at keeping my blog up and that was one of my new years goals..oops I guess it's never to late to start and you inspire me to do so.

It was fun running across your family blog.I hope life is treating you well.Take care Lettie; )

My parents used to make us do stuff like that on the weekends. It is a family joke that I always thought I was going to die if I couldn't go out with my friends! I survived and looking back we had alot of fun! You guys are great parents!
