Colbie Callait is Pretty AND Nice

We met Colbie Callait.  Beau's brother was working during her concert and got us all the hook-ups!  Beau and I have been big fans of her since her beginning, so we were thrilled to go see her in concert.  We were even more thrilled at the chance to meet her.  She's SUPER nice . . . and of course, beautiful.  Evie called her Princess Colbie.  :)


We went to the concert with other members of Beau's family.  The weather was gorgeous for an outdoor concert and we all had tons of fun!


Evie has VERY good and sensitive ears, so it took her several songs to adjust to the noise level.  Meanwhile, she just plugged her ears until she could adjust.  And, towards the end when she started getting tired she would ask, "All done?" after every song.  It was so cute.  We did leave the concert a few songs early at her request, but had a blast! 

And, if you have 3 minutes, you should watch this music video!  Colbie sang this song at the concert and ran the video in the background.  This helps to show how "beautiful" she is and I LOVE the message of the song.  I hope my children can grow up knowing that they are beautiful on their own and that they don't need everyone else (or everything else) around them to validate that!  I hope as a mother, I can help to instill this self worth.

Daddy-Daughter Campout



Evie has a fun daddy!  He wanted to "take" Evie on a campout.  So, he set up the tent in our backyard and took our little Evie Doll camping last night.

Oh, she was excited!  She hurried to get on her jammies and she grabbed her pillow and carried it all by herself to the tent.  Jumping in that tent was SO much fun!



Beau had a headlamp and she LOVED that thing!  She was very fascinated with it and how it would turn off and on and even change colors.  Once she settled down with that, Beau read her lots of bedtime stories.


To my amazement . . . she lasted ALL night long out there.  I thought for sure they would stumble in the house at the wee hours of the morning, but they didn't.  Once she settled down and fell asleep, she slept right through the night.  Beau . . . he is another story.  LOL.


These two have a special relationship.  I love them both and am so grateful that Evie has a daddy that loves and cherishes her more than words can ever describe.
