Friday was a late night!
This is Laurin in the car on Saturday afternoon while running errands. It is hard partying all night like a Rock Star!
A Dream Come True
This post may be long....there is so much to tell. Friday we received a call from our friend Kelly (Jessica's Mom) letting us know that she received more tickets to Friday night's special Jonas Brothers Concert at Cowboy stadium. What a surprise. We knew the JoBros were doing a concert, kicking off their World Tour on Saturday, but there was no way I would fight the crowds and the heat to go on Saturday. So Friday's intimate concert for 2,000 of their family and friends was perfect!
Parking was free, tickets were free and a tiny crowd to contend with...how could we say No? Not only would we get to see the Jonas Brothers, but also the brand new Cowboy Stadium!
Once we finally got in to our seats, we knew we were in for an amazing evening. First thing they did was announce that no pictures of the concert were allowed. Since the real kick off of the world tour was supposed to be Sat. night, they didn't want pictures of the set and the show to get out ahead of time. After all, the Sat night concert goers had paid big bucks to be the first to see the show. As a trade off for not being able to take pictures, they promised they would do the show in its entirety instead of a shorter dress rehearsal.
First a band called Honor Society performed and then Jessie James sang her song, and then Jordin Sparks came on, which was a great performance too. But all we really wanted was the Jonas Brothers.
Finally the time arrived and they appeared on the stage! We've never been so close to a stage. We could see everything! They performed songs from their new CD, previous CD's and they even sang "Sweet Caroline," which got the parents up and singing along. Very cute.
Our seats were by one of the sound system areas and it also seemed to be where many of the JoBros entourage liked to sit. Big Rob, their bodyguard was maybe 10 feet away for quite a bit of the concert. I think Laurin was more excited to see him then the JoBros. Also, our seats were close to the path to the souvenir stand and who should walk by, but none other than Frankie Jonas (the youngest Jonas, or Bonus Jonas as he is known). Who knew he would have to go buy his own light stick, but that was definitely the hot item of the night. He walked by a couple of times and even sat in Big Robs lap. We had a great sideshow in addition in to the concert.
It was truly an AMAZING night and we can't thank Kelly and Jessica enough. I know I am leaving out details, but Laurin will be happy to share her memories.....just ask her:-)

Laurin has started making dresses and other clothes for her dolls. She is doing a great job. She has figured out Grandma's sewing machine better than her Mom ever did.
