O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!!!

My favorite movie is Oklahoma, and I love that Discoveryland in Sapulpa has the live musical production. We usually try to go every year, but with Bryson being a baby and a little too young last year we have not been in a couple of years. I told Brian he had to take me this year. Well, we went on the very last day of the show. My dad got us all tickets there were around 20 of us that ended up going.

I was not as impressed as I have been in previously years, but it was still good. We ate the rib eye steak dinner there before the show, and the kids rode the ponies and played around. We also got the ticket package where you can get a drink, popcorn or snow cone, and a dessert. Bryson loved the horses and all the guns during the show. I think he got a little bored with the songs (I will have to work on that). We had to watch most of the show from the top, but that allowed him to run around and I still got to watch.

Thanks again dad for the tickets - I loved it!

Sugarland & Keith Urban

On August 7th we went to see the Sugarland & Keith Urban concert. Kelly gave Brian and I tickets and we rode with her and Tracy (they sat in a different section than us - more on that later). My uncle Rocky watched Bryson (I know I can't believe it either). I did some heavy praying and left good instructions to change the diaper. :) I think Rebecca helped out a lot.

I really can't believe Brian went with us. I think it was because he is a huge Jennifer Nettles (sp?) fan (Sugarland). We went to Country Fever last June and saw them perform and we both had a good time, so I guess that is why he wanted to go. Of course he was not that into Keith Urban (because all the ladies were so into him - jealous much). :) We had an awesome time. I am really glad it was on a Friday night because it lasted for well over three hours.


Keith Urban actually walked around the crowd to the back of the floor and played on a smaller stage that was right in front of us. I loved it because he yelled "who has the good seats now?" After he played four or five songs he went back through the crowd and walked right in front of Kelly and Tracy.

A little later in the concert he came out in one of the sections and played. Guess what - it was the section Kelly and Tracy were in and he was only a couple steps up from their seats and they were on the end seats. When he walked down their section I think Kelly may have touched him inappropriately! :) Tracy got to rub on him too! Brian and I were cracking up because we were watching them the whole time. Thanks again Kelly for the tickets!

Branson Trip

Believe it or not, but we made our first Branson trip of the year in late July/early August. I know I could not believe it had been that long. My family left on a Thursday and came back Monday. We had a really good time. We went to the Dinosaur Museum, Silver Dollar City, Twelve Irish Tenor Show, and Dixie Stampede. One day the guys went golfing and us girls went shopping of course. :)

The Dinosaur Museum was neat for little kids. They had a huge dino Jupiter Jump, sand box, coloring tables, dino computer games, arcade games, and huge dino statues.

This is Aladar (from Disney's Dinosaur - Bryson's favorite movie). Bryson was so excited to see him. He thought it was the one from the movie. :)

We had a great time at SDC. We just felt really rushed because we had a show that evening. The kids enjoyed all the rides and the water part of course. Bryson was actually tall enough to ride all the rides in the kiddie area.

I thought this was a really cool picture until I was done taking it and look over to see a little boy with his pants down peeing in the flowers next to the kids.

Bryson got a big gun from Dixie Stampede that he absolutely loves. He has to have it every time we go outside for anything (especially taking the trash out). He has to shoot the deer and rabbits (he tells me). It is really cute because he says "mommy I like this gun, this my stampede gun."
