Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!!!

Shelby sporting her winning pair of tickets!

We got a phone call this morning from the local radio station, The Fix (105.7 KFX). It's always a good thing to get a phone call from a radio station, right?! Especially when only days before you'd registered to win concert tickets. Shelby won tickets to see The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and the cast of Camp Rock 2 in concert at the Verizon Arena on Thursday, September 30, 2010!!! Whoo hoo!!! So excited. I am more excited than my 7 year old daughter, of course. :) I hope she takes me. May the bribing commence!!!

Thanks so much to our friends, at The Fix for winning. For all of you locals who want to win, there will be more chances. So, if you're not friends with them on Facebook, do so here and you can stay in the know on how to win yourself a pair!

So, have you even won anything on the radio, if so what was it?! How bad did you want it, and what did you have to do to win?

The concert experience live and at home, with flames!

On Thursday night, Shelby enjoyed her very first concert thanks to Little Rock Family Living. Before we went to the show we had some great food prepared on a hibatchi grill by an talented young cook @ Kanpai Japanese Steakhouse.

Up first was the girl band, KSM. We missed a big part of their show because we were getting T-shirts ($30 - I am not even kidding!!!) for the girls and some sort of glow sticks with Demi's name ($10).

David Archuleta opened for Demi and he did a magnificent job. You might remember him from American Idol. He was runner up to David Cook. That kid sure does have some pipes. He is a very talented young man. It was sure nice to see him so humble as well. He was giggling before the show started because he was giddy with excitement. He had amazing energy and his songs were young and hip. He didn't sing about being a pimp, gangsta, or anything he is not. I like that about him. He is a kid and he knows it. He is grounded and I really think that he's got a bright future ahead of him. I really enjoyed his performance.

Before Demi came out, Shelby and my neice Katie had made friends with some girls sitting near us. Since the front row was nearly empty, we let them all sit on the front row of the section we were in. This gave them the freedom to stand and dance. When we stood at our seats we were tongue lashed by a mother with two boys who could not see. Unfortunately when we sat down, the teenage girls that were sitting next to us blocked our view as they stood. The girls were very excited to see Demi Lovato. She is their favorite Disney star and she put on such a great show. The girls danced and sang. They enjoyed themselves thoroughly. I am so glad that we got to go share the exciting opportunity with them! Thank you so much Little Rock Family!

Before the show, we all watched Demi Lovato and her B/F/F in the newest Disney Release, Princess Protection Program. This is a movie that the whole family will enjoy. The DVD features the music video staring Demi with co-star Selena Gomez with their hit song, "One in the Same". One of my favorite Demi Lovato songs is also the premisis of this movie, "When Two Different Worlds Collide". I feel this movie will follow a similar path as the High School Musical Phenomena that also spun from the masterminds at Disney. Selena and Demi are what's hot right now with the "tween" population, and as demonstrated by my daughter and my neice, even younger. It is nice to see these girls presenting themselves as good role models for my daughter.

Speaking of good role models, The Jonas Brothers are right up there at the top of my list. I saw these guys on Larry King and they are very intelligent young men. I remember the crush I had on a certain "Joey Joe" from a little band some of you might remember called New Kids on The Block. As I watched this DVD, I was taken back to 5th grade when NKOTB came to Arkansas and EVERYONE in my class (or though it seemed) went to this show but me. I was devastated, but it was short lived, I'm sure. This DVD, The Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience is just like being at the Jonas Brother's Concert, only you get an all access backstage pass at what the guys are doing off stage as well. If you have a Blue Ray disk player, you're in luck, because the set comes with DVD glasses and you can enjoy the concert in 3-D from the comforts of your own non-crowded home! If you've got a "Jo-Bro" fan in your household, this is a must have!!!

Upcoming Disney Releases

I am SO pleased to see that Disney's Camp Rock and Hannah Montanna The Best of Both Worlds 3D concert are coming to DVD! We have both of these recorded on our DVR and Shelby wants to watch them all of the time. She doesn't know how to work the DVR so that means I have to stop what I'm doing and go into her room and play them for her. The release date for the two films is Tuesday, August 19. We were lucky enough to get advanced copies of both films so Shelby is able to pop them in her DVD player, which she knows how to work, at her own leisure (or shall I say, mine!).

Camp Rock was a great movie. I really enjoyed the overall message that this movie relayed to kids that you can follow through with your dreams if you just believe in yourself AND that you should always be yourself no matter what. Newcomer, Demi Lavato plays Mitchie the main character in this film. She has a beautiful voice and catches the ears of pop star sensation Shane played by Joe Jonas. If you haven't heard of the Jonas Brothers then just ask your children, grandchildren, or turn on the Disney channel! I must admit that I am a fan and was pretty excited to watch this movie with my 5 year old daughter. I was not at all disappointed. It was a great family movie and I would highly recommend watching. It hits the shelves August 19th so pick up a copy for yourself or if you are doing your Christmas shopping a bit early (WHAT IN THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!) or need a birthday gift, this would make a perfect selection. You can find out more details over at Disney.com.

Many of you might remember the controversy that brewed when people waited in line for days to buy tickets to see Hannah Montana only to get to the counter and be told that the concert was SOLD OUT. There were many disappointed little girls all across the country because they could not be a part of this phenom! Those brilliant minds over at Disney figured out a way to please everyone. They televised this SOLD OUT Best of Both Worlds Concert. But, they had to go one step further with this and not just televise it, but they showed it in 3-D! We watched this event as it aired on Disney and we had to share the one pair of 3-D glasses we had. It was pretty cool. Half of the concert was Hannah Montana and the other half was Miley Cirus. Stuck right in the middle to entertain us during the transformation were the above mentioned Jonas Brothers. The DVD is cool because it has a sing along feature which my daughter LOVES. She grabbed her microphone and began to transform herself into Hannah Montana as she sang along with her favorite tunes. This was priceless. I'm sure if your kids aren't asking for this video yet that the chances are that they are unaware of it's release date on August 19th but when they find out you'll be heading to the store to pick up a copy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! In the meantime, you can head on over to the Disney headquarters to find out more information about this and other upcoming Disney releases.

The Big Night

Tonight is the night. I am all geared up for a night out with my hubby, sister, and her significant other. We're going to see Rascal Flatts with opening act Kellie Pickler. The guys are stoked for Ms Red High Heels. My sister and I are HUGE Rascal Flatts fans and I am super excited for the big show. These guys are amazing vocalists and they put on a very entertaining show. We're going to meet up before the show for a nice dinner at The Outback Steakhouse. Brien got a gift certificate for Christmas, so we'll get a free meal tonight. The kids are at Grandma's house. I'm trading in the diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and kiddos for lipstick, fun, and adult conversation! I'm really looking forward to tonight. What's on your agenda this weekend?!

I leave you with the video of Kellie Pickler on Fox's "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader". This is great stuff if you've not seen it! This girl cracks me up.
