Quality Time with my Favorite Boy!

Sunday evening, Alan and I met Mom to get Logan.  We hadn't eaten dinner yet so the three of us went to Red Lobster!  The hostess was wonderful and took one of the Lobsters out of the tank and explained a lot of stuff about lobsters to Logan...apparetnly she was a biology major.  Monday, we relaxed around the house for a bit and then went riding around and looking at houses.  Alan and I found a house that we fell IN LOVE with, but I don't think we will be buying one any time soon!  Insert sad face!  That evening, we rode the 4-wheeler to the creek and then went over to JD's to let him see the beagle puppies.  Logan fell head over heels in love with them and wanted one so bad!

Tuesday, we met Brit and Tanner and went too...

We had a great time and I'm pretty sure the boys did, too!  Logan still isn't tall enough to ride the roller coasters, but he really wants to.  Maybe by the end of the year.....he's got 2 more inches!  He still had his cast on and it got soaking wet, he freaked out and thought that his doctor was going to get mad at him...lol!  I assured him it would be okay, but he was so worried about it!

Wednesday, we went to the doctor to get his cast removed.  They xrayed his arm and said everything looked great and he didn't have any limitations.  He has a pretty large knot on his arm, but the doc said that would go away in 3 months.  He also, can't straighten his arm out but the doc said that would take some time, too!  What better way to celebrate getting your cast off than to go to The Wilderness.

It's actually called Wilderness at the Smokies, but for whatever reason we call it The Wilderness.  It is a hotel with both an indoor and outdoor waterpark!  I took Logan last year before he started school and he loved it!  I also invited his friends Tyler and Olivia and Nicole brought them down after she got off work.  He and I got there, checked in, and immedietly headed to the indoor part (it was storming outside.)

We rode the Storm Chaser 1st thing.  Technically Logan is too short for it but he has ridden it before and he LOVES it!  So we got up there, the girl didn't even measure him and on the ride we went!  We immediatly got off of it and went straight back up to the top and they wouldn't let him back on.  Talk about one mad sister!  He wasn't too disappointed though.  We played for a while and then went back to the room to make a run to Wal-Mart.  Once Nicole and the other kiddos got there, we ordered pizza, ate and then let them play until 10pm when the indoor part closed!  The next day Krystal came over and spent the day with us!  That turned out to be such a great help because all 3 kids wanted to go in different directions!  Overall, the kids had a great time and I'm glad I got to take Logan!  I spent the night at the house Thursday and then headed home Friday to get ready for work. 

I worked Friday-Monday!  I was off Tuesday night, so I spent most of the day sleeping, got up went to the movies, met Brook at we watched....

It was hilarious and I can't wait to watch it again!  That night, I went to Wal-Mart and got...

in this particular color, I need some more practice but they look pretty good!

Love Maci!

Mayfield Chocolate Almond Ice Cream

Love this guy and this CD is wonderful!

So, I spent my night relaxing and watching things that I had recorded with DVR (one of the best inventions ever.)  It was wonderful!!!

Fish Lipz

Two weekends ago, a group of us rented a cabin at Pates Ford Marina for the night and went to Fish Lipz!  Fish Lipz is a bar on the lake so it was perfect...we spent all day on the lake and around 9:30, we parked our boat in a slip, and went to the bar, when we were done there we could WALK to our cabin....BEST THING EVER!  Everyone could drink and no one had to be the DD.  

The Marina

Anywho, we got off to a later start than we had wanted, but eventually made it there, got the boat in the water, Brit bought a wakeboard, Alan bought some bindings and then we were finally on the water!  Brit and I were surrounded by boys all weekend, which usually works out to be a BLAST!  We spent most of the day riding, came in to have some lunch/supper at the dock, and went back out!  Later on we started passing around the 

&

It's a wonderful combination.  By the time we got back to Fish Lipz 

everyone was pretty drunk HAPPY!

Brit and I ran to the cabin to change and while we were getting ready the power went off, pretty sure we both screamed like 3 year olds!  Once we got back to the bar, we found the boys listening to the band!  I was surprised because MOST of the people there were older people.  And when I say older I mean 50's and 60's!  It was quite entertaining.  The band was wonderful, the played great music all night!  Of course, after I got a few more drinks in me I started requesting songs...DixieLand Delight, which I ALWAYS request and then I think I wanted to hear something by Eric Church and they played Drink a Little Drink, Smoke a Little Smoke!  We all spend most of the night dancing and jumping around!  It was AUUUUU-MAZIN!  Alan spent most of the night dancing with old women, dancing with me, playing his air guitar (haha) and falling asleep at the bar!  I guess he deserved a good time!

The next morning we all slept way to late, went down to the dock to have lunch and went back out on the lake!  The boys fished for a bit and then we headed home!  Can't wait to do it again!

Quality time with Logan!

 Last Wednesday, I went home to go to Logan's Dr. App. with him!  They took his cast off, took the pin out and re-casted it!  I spend the night with him at the house and then Friday morning we came back to my house.  He played the xbox while I cleaned up the house from the crazy weekend before!  Later on, we went to see Brandon!  He loves James B and Blake!  They played a little corn hole and pool and then he and I ordered some pizza!  That night we went to see

in 3D!

Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to the movie, but Logan seemed to like it!  He always wants to watch movies in 3D, but he never will wear the glasses, so no more 3D movies for us!
I'm not sure if the movie influenced his actions afterwords, but here are some pictures of him dancing after the movie....

WILD CHILD!

  After the movie, we went to a game store to get him a new game.  He got his 1st XBOX game...

Saturday morning, we got up and went to Lebanon.  I needed to go to Pac Sun and Brandon wanted to go, so we made a trip and then Mom came and got Logan so I could get a nap before I went back to work Saturday night!  

I can't wait until he gets his cast off so I can take him swimming and to the lake!

A LITTLE R&R

Sunday evening I went to Alabama to see the boy!  They have moved towns so I got to stay in a new, much nicer hotel.  That evening we went out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant, made a trip to Target, and drove through a couple of cars lots.  Monday, I slept way to late, went to the pool, came back to the room and napped, and then went back to the pool for a bit.  I ordered some room service and then started getting ready.  It was a nice, relaxing day!  The hotel has a spa and Alan told me to treat myself to whatever I wanted, but honestly all I wanted to do was lay by the pool and nap!

The pool is wonderful.  They have a slide and I cannot wait to bring Logan back with me so I will have an excuse to go down it!  There's also a little cave and some waterfalls, he will LOVE it!

I'm not so sure about this decor.  It reminds me of Christmas.  I love spending the night in hotels because I LOVE the king size beds.  I cannot wait until we have a house and can have a king size bed!

Monday evening we drove to Huntsville to look at rings shop!

Tuesday I headed home to get ready to come back to work!  Of course, I stopped at Cool Springs and did some shopping on my way!

Working Tues-Thursday and then its time for the lake!
