Bon Jovi Concert


On Tuesday, Aaron and I went to the Bon Jovi concert in Sacramento. It was such a fun thing to do and totally unlike any of the concerts I've been too. This was Aaron's 1st concert and very much our era of music. It was so fun to be able to sing to all the songs that we knew from the 80's. I was so impressed with some of his newer songs too that I'm not as familiar with. Bon Jovi was a great performer and the set was insane. Drastic Confessionals out of Florida lead him off, they are kind of a young boy band. Normally we would have never done something like this because we are way too cheap to spend money on concert tickets and on a school night? Aaron won the tickets on a radio station! He was supposed to be the 16th caller to win and told me that there was only one other caller calling in that early in the morning. So he was the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th... all the way to 16 and then he won! It seems like Aaron and his siblings always win stuff on radio stations.

We were grateful to go out and have a fun time for the price of parking and a babysitter. I have also formed a small crush on Bon Jovi and an even bigger crush on my adorable husband! I feel like a teenager again! ;)

My parenting plan!!

I have been thinking a lot lately of what I need to teach my kids to help them become independant physically, spiritually and mentally so when they turn 18 they will be able to survive on their own. The last 9 years has flown by so quickly I can't believe it. Nine more years and my first child will be old enough to be on his own. That is a real wake up call for a mother who hasn't prepared her children for those important days. I realize that I have gone on way to long without a list of what needs to be learned and done by what age so that my kids will not be horrified when they get out into the world alone. So, I've come up with a list of most everything I can think of that would be important for my kids to know and learn and what ages they should be capable. Of course, every child is different and is capable of different things at different ages. Some learn things faster and are more motivated. Others would like to just live in the home cave for the rest of their lives and have no motivation to do any of it. So, I am including my fairly flexible plan. But if you let too many years slip by, you may need to up the work to fit everything in. I got most of my ideas from a very experienced LDS author (Merilee Boyack) who has raised several children successfully! So, hopefully you find this as helpful as I do!
