Kennedy, Kellie and Taylor

Kennedy has been wanting to go to her first concert for some time now.  The only thing better than going to a concert would be a country music concert!  Her 16th birthday just happened to be the same week that Taylor Swift was in town for a concert.  I knew the minute I heard it announced on the radio what I was going to give her for her 16th birthday present.  The problem is that 9 out of 10 times when you try to surprise Kennedy with something, she doesn't like it!  I was so relieved when she screamed for excitement when I showed her the concert tickets.  Not only was it a cool gift, but I was a cool mom because I also made sure mine and Scott's tickets were not anywhere near her's!  She also went to the concert with three of her friends.  They had just as much fun getting ready for the concert as being at the concert.




Kellie Pickler opened for Talyor.  I was a little worried after seeing her awful performance on American Idol but she was great!  I was just disappointed she didn't wear any Red High Heels!

Taylor was amazing live!  She put on quite the performance and talked to the audience as if we were all high school age girls.  I could totally relate because I am still so close to high school age but Scott found it a little more difficult to relate!  




This is Taylor flipping her hair all around and dancing while playing the piano.  I told Kennedy I wanted to see the same thing at her next piano recital.  After that performance just playing a song on the piano is mighty boring!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
