Family, Friends, and American Idol!

This weekend we got to go to Little Rock to see American Idol Live!  We were really looking forward to the concert, but we were thrilled just to be back in Little Rock with my brother, SIL, and nephews.  We even got to have dinner with our awesome friends Jennifer and Joe.  

Friday night on our way into town we stopped in Conway to meet up with the Rogers' and have dinner at Chili's.  It's hard to find a place to eat with two prego's.  We had a great time with them and it was great because it was an adult only dinner!  

When we got to Jon and Kricia's, Jon was working overnight and Kricia and the boys were up waiting for us.  They were so excited when Kricia told them that we were coming that they stayed up way past their bedtime.  When they finally went to bed, Grant asked for Chris and I to come tuck him in and he told us not to leave and go back home.  I thought that was the sweetest thing!!

Saturday, Kricia and Grant went to a party, so Chris and I took Jude to the sprinkler park down by the Arkansas River.  He had a great time, and Chris was so great with him - he didn't even mind when he got wet by the sprinkler suddenly coming on behind him :)  

Then last night we went to the concert!  We were there an hour early, but that's just our nature.  The show was so fun and Kris Allen was so humble!  He even led the crowd in Calling the Hogs!  I'm sure the other Idol singers were wondering what the heck was going on!  All the singers rocked out, and there were some that we liked better than others, but my favorites were obviously Kris Allen, Anoop, and Allison.  Allison did a duet with Adam that was awesome!  I don't really like Adam's style of screaming over singing on most songs, but he sang 'Mad World' again, and that was great.   We had a wonderful time!!
