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...

Feb 7th-14th

Mond-Wedn-work!

Thursday-sleep

Friday-I went home to go to Logan's Valentines Party at school.  I got to Morgan County a little early so I went to see Granny!  I have the absolute best Granny in the world...I don't know what I would do without her and I enjoy getting to spend time with her.  Logan's party was cute!  Mom and I walked in and he looked surprised and said, "I didn't know ya'll were coming."  I think he was a little excited.  They played musical chairs, handed out their Valentines cards, and then had snacks!  After school we went to the house and started looking at stuff for Disney.  I was going to take him to Disney on Spring Break but Mom has convinced me not to.  It will be one of the most crowded times of the year and he's still a few inches short of being able to ride some of the rides.  So, we may just do something else!  That evening we played some Wii and just hung out.  I fell asleep early (I'm still having trouble switching around on my days off.)  Saturday we got up and Mom cooked breakfast.  Monday/Valentines day is mom's birthday.  I had gotten her a card and gave her some money and I had Logan sign the card and take it to her.  While he was doing that I got his card/candy ready for him and gave it to him when he came back.  He was appreciative of the $20 I put in it........however, mom never said anything about her card and she always says thanks.  So, I asked her if she got her card and she said "no."  Long story short, Logan wanted to keep the $ that was in her card.  Mom and I both had very long talks with him about being appreciative and thankful and being happy for other people when they get nice things.  It hard to explain to a 5 year old. 

Anyhow, on the way to Logan's game I went up to Granny's and took her a card and some candy for Valentines day.  Logan's game was in Norwood so I went to it.  He got a little more aggressive this game and I think he's starting to get into it more.  We found out he had another game later in the evening so I decided to hang around for it.  We went to eat at some place Richard likes in between.  It was called Double Dog's or something like that.  Food was good and they served Logan's food in a dog bowl.  He loved that!  Logan did pretty good his 2nd game too!  So proud of him!  I love that little turd.....I went straight home after his game.  I got there and Brandon and Christi were there.  They hung out a while and after they left I went to sleep.

We had decided earlier in the week that we were gonna celebrate Valentines Day on Sunday.  Sunday we got up and I was craving some blue cheese dressing from Nick's.  After I got ready, I came out and Alan had my Valentines present on the kitchen counter.  He got me a dozen red roses, a sander that I had asked for, a card, candy, and a..........PEARL ring.  I hadn't ever asked or even mentioned a pearl ring but he said he knew I love my pearl earrings, necklace, and bracelet and let me just say........I LOVE THE RING.  It's pretty and simple and completely me!  He did good!  I had given him his present early...a new pair of Rocky boots!  We went to lunch at Nick's and it was wonderful!  I had Cajun chicken Alfredo, salad, and a chocolate molten cake!  After lunch, we went to look at cars and then went home.  We were planning on riding the bike but I decided I was tired and I thought it would be to cold for me so I napped and Alan took a ride.  After he got back we went to his ma's to eat, Jamie came over for a bit, and after he left we went to town and The Social Network.  I wasn't very impressed!

It was the perfect Valentines Weekend.  I spent time with most of the wonderful people in my life...my mom, Logan, Granny, and Alan!  I couldn't have asked for anything better!  And I also squeezed in a little bit of time with Miss Maddy....she's presh!

Catching Up

Well I'm already slacking when it comes to blogging.

This past weekend Alan went to Indiana hunting so I went home to spend some time with the family!  I had a photo session with 2 cute little girls on Friday evening.  Friday night Mom, Logan, and I went to the Sb vs. Wb football game.  It was so cold and we ended up leaving during the 3rd quarter.  Sunbright ended up loosing.  : (

Saturday I spend most of the day working on a quilt for Maddy for Christmas.  It is a ragged squares quilt and I found the perfect pink and brown fabric for it.  I finished it on Saturday and mom spent a lot of time clipping the edges for me.  I LOVE how it turned out.  Her quilt is the 2nd that I've finished.  The 1st quilt I completed was a John Deere quilt for Logan and I love it, too!

Saturday night we headed out to take Logan to Trick or Treat.  He was a transformer and got lots of candy.  He fell asleep on the way home.  Hopefully next year I'll be able to make his costume....lol!

I came back home Sunday, cleaned up the house a little, went to Alan's Ma's to eat, and worked on editing pictures.

Great Weekend!
