Girl's Weekend :)

This past weekend, my mom and I went to Nashville to Adam Warren's (my mom's bosses son)wedding. We had the best time and the wedding was beautiful. We talked all the way to Nashville and all the way home, so the ride didn't seem long at all. We stayed at the Embassy Suites and it was really nice. Saturday night we went to Adam and Theresa's wedding and Sunday we got up and went to the Country Music Hall of Fame which was really interesting. After leaving there we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, and can you believe my mom had never been there? We had a great time and it was a much needed trip for the both of us! We made some great memories and of course we done some things that we can look back at and laugh about (such as a parking machine eating my mom's $5) LOL Thank you Dr. Warren and Mrs. Martha for inviting us! Also, thank you Nana and Pappy for taking care of my boys while i was gone ;)

This was our hotel room (the living room)....and bedroom....Mom and I after arriving at the hotel...We were fixing to leave for the wedding right here...Mr. Paul, Mrs. Jan, Me and Mom at the wedding reception... Theresa and her daddy dancing (this was so sweet)...The newly married and might i add BEAUTIFUL couple (Adam & Theresa) The brides cake that was really good...This was the grooms cake (he is blowing out candles because it was also his 25th birthday) I dont remember whose car this was, but it was neat looking...all the handles were guns and the gear shift was a saddle!This was the dress Carrie Underwood wore when she hosted the Country Music Awards....Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr.....I took alot more pictures, but the website is acting up so this is all you get for now ;)

Im a rambler today...sorry about that

Well I havent blogged all week as im sure you have noticed, but to tell the truth i just really havent wanted too. I havent been my normal self for a couple of weeks now and im not really sure what is wrong with me (im not pregnant)! Im kind of in a care free mode (poor Jason) and i hate it, but love it at the same time. Im usually pretty uptight and i freak out about the smallest things, but here lately i havent been sweating the small stuff. I have been letting Landon play outside in the afternoons and i dont bring him in when he gets a bug bite (which is way out of the norm for me). I also didnt freak out when he decided to taste some water that was in the back of his dirty car outside. Next week will be a new week and im sure my controlling, uptight, freaking out mode will come back shortly!

In other news...this weekend my Mom and I are going to Nashville for Dr. Warren's (her boss) son's wedding and i am sooooo excited. We get some quality bonding time and it is like a mini vacation for me! When we get together, we always have a blast, so i know it will be tons of fun. JAson and Landon are going to stay with Mrs. Carolyn and Mr. Terry while i am gone....im going to miss my 2 boys, but i know they will be well taken care of ;)

This week nothing too interesting has happened just the usual going to work, coming home playing outside, dragging in a kicking screaming child, cooking supper, giving baths, watching barney, snuggling on the couch, getting 5000 kisses from a child who thinks that he doesnt have to go sleep as long as he gives mommy kisses, going to bed, and starting all over again. Yup, that sums up my week. Man, Im glad its Friday!

We Slept....

All night long!!! We went to bed at about 9 last night and slept until about 6 this morning! I feel refreshed and rejuvenated and Daddy Bear's head is safe.....for now!

Getting Back into the Swing of Things....

Well as most of you know Jason and I were off work last week and yesterday came fast! I thought I was ready to come back to work, but once i got here I quickly realized I was WRONG. I had a bad day yesterday and to top it off Landon is sick. He has had a spot on his butt for about 5 days and I thought it was a bug bite, but Sunday it was huge and really hard. When Jason picked Landon up from day care yesterday his teacher said she thought it might be staff infection, so I told Jason to take him straight to the doctor. Lo and behold he has staff infection, a double ear infection, and a red throat. I had no idea he was sick, he hasn't ran a fever, and other than not eating like usual, he had no symptoms. He pretty much cried the entire afternoon, until about 6:00 when he fell asleep in his high chair. I knew better than to let him sleep for a little bit, but I was so tired and I just needed a few minutes of peace and quiet. Well at 10:00 last night he was still running around the living room, screaming barney and no at the top of his lungs, and I was just praying to the good Lord for some sleep. He finally went to sleep at about 11:00 and as soon as i layed him in his bed, his eyes opened and he started screaming MA-MA...why on earth couldn't he scream DA-DA or BARNEY or NO....I think i could walk away from one of those, but MA-MA gets me every time (oh by the way i am lying about the part where i would walk away if he said anything else, SERIOUSLY)!!! So we slept on the couch until about 2:00 this morning and at this point my back and neck and legs and arms were hurting so bad that i couldn't bare it any longer. Usually I am pretty good about letting Jason get his sleep, because he gets up at 3:30 in the morning and he works so hard YADA YADA, but last night I was DONE. I grabbed Landon and we moved to my bed where Jason was peacefully sleeping. We were in there for about 10 minutes and Jason got up and got on the couch...Landon is not an easy person to sleep with people. At 3:30 this morning Jason's alarm went off and I was still laying there staring at the ceiling. I finally went to sleep at about 5:00 and then BOOM my alarm went off at 5:40. I swear if I drank coffee I would be on my 6th cup right about now. I love my little baby cub and I feel so bad that he feels so bad, I wish it was me that was sick instead of him, but Mama Bear needs some sleep before I rip off someones head....and right about now, Daddy Bear's head has never looked better!!!!!! Please pray that Landon gets to feeling better and that Mama Bear gets some sleep....ahhhh, the joy of getting back into the swing of things.

Chuck E Cheese Please ;)

My nephew Coden stayed with us Thursday night and as soon as he got to our house he said Aunt Roo Roo are we going to Chuck E Cheese? I said what in the world makes you think that and he said cause you and Uncle Jason took me before and I will never forget it. Then a little bit later he said if we go to Chuck E Cheese it will make me 100% better (he was sick a few days before he came to our house) and so I said well as long as it makes you 100% better than we will go. LOL He is 5 years old and knows how to get his way! After Chuck E Cheese we came home and had a "slumber party" which consisted of laying on a huge pallet in the floor, eating popcorn, and watching barney and spongebob!! Coden and Landon play so good together and they never fight until it comes to the television....Coden loves Spongebob and Landon loves Barney, they would fight over which show to watch, so they made a deal to take turns watching each others shows....needless to say Jason and I are sick of Barney and Spongebob!! Friday I woke up at 6 am to Coden saying "Aunt Roo Roo, can we go to McDonald's?"....lol We stayed outside all day Friday swimming and riding the four wheeler. Landon and Coden both had a great time and we will have to do it again very soon!

Coden loved the monster truck and he was quite the dare devil...in this picture the truck was actually moving and he decided to stand up and drive it.....This was Landon's favorite ride...Lol...Coden was riding the motorcycle backwards (it was moving).Playing basketball....Coden was really good at this game...This little boy (in the red) came up to me and asked if he could play against Coden in this dancing game so I put a token in for Coden and Landon and they teamed up on this little boy.

They won...YAY boys!!!They were really getting into it........until Landon found something more interesting (the wheel) ;)

The boys eating popcorn at our slumber party (Landon's is really fruit loops shhhh)Coden brought a kite for us to fly, but he wasn't very interested in it!

Swim time!!!Landon attacking Coden (they are both laughing in case you cant tell)

Naked runaway baby.....Lunch time...the boys had grilled cheese, french fries, and cheetos!!! As you can tell we had a very eventful 2 days!!!

Buffalo Park & Zoo

We went early Wednesday morning so it wasn't that hot and it wasn't crowded at all. They have tons of different animals including a bear, tiger, lion, camels, llamas, alligators, snakes, birds, horses, zebras, mountain lion, monkeys, kangaroos....the list goes on and on. I took tons of pictures, but it is taking a long time to download so I just posted a few. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend taking your children!!
