My Singer Girl

Just wanted to post these couple picture of Lindsay before a concert last Saturday evening. Chorale sang at Lawrence Childrens choir concert. It brought back memories for me because she started singing with Choirsters and then on to LCC and then on and on until now her final year of high school and singer in the best choir there is at her school. If you couldn't tell she makes me very proud.

Beautiful Day

Just thought I would let all you cold state people know it is 44 here today and looking to be close to 60 tomorrow. Yea for Spring! I am soooo ready for it to get warm and stay warm. Only thing I hate is it is now going to be tornado season. Boooooo!

And life goes on

She wanted a Kansas dirt cake. She helped me make it and it was good!
18 candles made a lot of smoke

Well I survived Lindsay turning 18. We went to dinner last night and had some cake afterwards. Our friends the Hanson's went with us to help celebrate. The party has been cancelled!! YAH! Lawrence High boy's and girl's basketball teams are still in the state tournament and are playing tonight. So instead of having a teenage party at our house we are going to Emporia tonight to watch the boys play basketball. The girls play this afternoon so we can't see them play.

It is really cold here today. It has been snowing all morning. It is finally about to stop. It isn't sticking, just making it a yukky day. It is supposed to be 60 on Tuesday and I am so looking forward to that.

Yard Card for Lindsay's 18th Birthday

This was at 6:65 this morning before Lindsay left for 0 hour. The sun isn't quite up yet.

We woke up to this in our front yard this morning. Good friends of ours are doing this as a business. Happy 18th Birthday Miss Lindsay.

My Biggest Baby will be 18 tomorrow

I am just so sad about Lindsay turning 18. She is such a great kid and I just want her to stay little. Anyway Bob and I agreed to let her and a friend have a party at our house Friday night. They wanted to do it at our house because we have so many toys in our basement. When I asked how many kids were coming, they don't know. They have just spread the word. WHAT HAVE WE DONE. I did tell her she would be in deep poop if anyone even thought about bring any booze to this party. I know I don't have to worry about her and Audra(the other birthday girl) but you just never know about some of the others. Lots of these kids know Bob since he drove the equipment truck for the marching band so I think that will help. I'll have him go work our right before the party so he is all buffed up before they all come. Hee Hee! Anyway wish us luck and I'll try to get a few birthday pictures and post them. Tonight is a big choir concert so maybe I'll try to take a picture or 2 of that too. Oh and today is Nick Gauthier's 18th birthday.

Showtime

Just wanted to let all of you know when Showtime is this year. If you don't know what Showtime is, it is all Juniors and Seniors in the choral department at Lawrence High. It is a mixture of old, new, pop, country, jazz, barber shop, anything! They put on between 35 and 40 songs and the show is excellent. It is April 24, 25 and 26. Out of the 5 songs Lindsay tried out in, 3 of them made it. So you will be in Beat it, Mr Postman and Red High Heel Shoes. Chorale will do 2 songs and A Cappella choir will do 1. So she will be in 6 total this year. She was in 3 last year. No solos that I know about. You all are invited to come. Just let me know what night so I can get your ticket because it will sell out all 3 nights. I am so not ready for her to be out of high school. I have really enjoyed choir and band and all the concerts and shows she has been a part of.

Jonas Brothers Concert

Lindsay really likes the Jonas Brothers. They are a boy band who got their start on The Disney channel. Now she has Rachel hooked. This past Wednesday they were in concert in KC. The day the tickets went on sale Bob, Lindsay and I went to the Sprint Center in KC so we could get floor seats. Everyone got a wrist band and then they drew a number and that person started the line to get the best seats. Well, The 3 of us split up to mix our numbers up in hopes that 1 of us would be close to the first number. There were about 480 people there and the number drawn was 382. They start there and go up to the last number and then start at 1 and go to 381 being the last person. Lindsay had number 176. I had 217 and Bob had 274. So Lindsay had the best number. Well the girl Lindsay was standing by was split from her group too. But 1 of their group was around the number 1 area. They were only getting 3 tickets so they got Lindsay's ticket with them and then we used Lindsays number and got 4 tickets. Lindsay sat in the 7th row center. Rachel, her friend Haley Hanson, Bob and I sat in row 15 not quite center just slightly to the side. We all ended up with really good seats. Lindsay took over 200 pictures. Silly girl. Bob and I had our ear plugs and with the extras we had, we passed them out to our fellow parents around us. I have never heard so many I LOVE YOU....... as I heard at this concert. Then to top off the evening one of Rachel's teachers son in law is a manager for the opening band called Rooney. She gave us 4 back stage passes to meet Rooney. The lead singer played Michael in The Princess Diaries. Lindsay was in hopes of meeting the Jonas Brothers but that didn't happen.
