CHEETAH GIRLS

GIRL’S NIGHT OUT CHEETAH-LICIOUS
So the girls got lucky! Wednesday morning I was able to get free tickets for the Cheetah Girls’ concert held later that night. The concert hall sent the TN Guard free tickets as a “thank you” for the kids who have had a deployed parent. We could have collected six tickets for all of us, but Rob opted to have a “boy’s night-in” with Sebastien. When the girls came home from school, we told them they were going to have a girl’s night out with me. (We didn't tell them where we were going, just that we would have fun!) So, the girls and I drove downtown Nashville to the Summet Center and they said, “We’re going to a Predators game? Without Dad.” I replied, “Noo, you'll see when we get inside.” We walked inside and they see Cheetah Girls shirts for sale and turned to me and said, “You’re kidding right… is it a real concert?” That’s when I was smothered with hugs and surrounded by priceless smiles. We had such a BLAST! I will say, I was impressed with the concert. We had unbelievably great seats! This was definitely a night to remember.

This is before the girls figured-out what we were doing at Summet Center. That's why they're flashing the "I'm not sure why I'm smiling" smile.

Not great pictures, but the girls wanted me to take some of the stage

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INDY AND IZZY

The Twins turned 11. Here are some flash back pictures. They are such wonderful girls and they each have their own perfectly delightful personalities. We love you girls and could never express just how much your arrival 11 years ago was a blessing that changed our lives for the better.

SEBASTIEN'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

How is it that 11 years all of a sudden seem to have gone by like a strike of lighting?? I have had laughter, tears, frustrations, and pure enjoyment. I'm so grateful I've been able to stay home the last 11 years with our kids. There were days I thought this day couldn't come any sooner, but then there were so many more days I will always cherish. Today we sent our youngest off to his first full-day (8-3) of school. The house is so quite (and you all know how LOUD the Barnett kids are). Rob had to turn on the radio to compensate the absence of noise. I was laughing to myself, thinking, "oh so this is what life is like when you're newly weds without kids." Chaos suits us well, but here we are starting a new chapter of our life. I'm sure will still have chaos, but now with a 7 hour break.
