Recap!

Thursday after I got off of work, I went to the house and napped for a bit before Nicole, Logan, Brit, Tess, and Amber came up and we went to the lake.  Brandon and Alan met us down there!  We spent most of our time pulling Logan on the tube!  Tubing is his favorite!  It was nice to spend time with them!  Tess and Amber left pretty early.  That evening the boys went to town to get us pizza for dinner!  Nicole and Logan spent the night with us!

The weather was crappy on Friday so we ran do town Friday morning to get some things done and take Logan to get his hair cut!  Nicole decided to go home early because she wasn't feeling well!  Logan rode to town with Alan to buy his jeep and I took a nap!  I really don't remember what we did the rest of the day, but I do know that we took the jeep down to the creek that night and Josh and Brandon spent the night!

Saturday morning, we went to town to get stuff to do arts and craft.  We made play dough, bouncy balls (which was a fail), a painting, and a knit ball!  Logan loves to do stuff like that!  The boys spent the evening outside shooting bows and I actually cooked dinner!  After that, Logan, Alan, Brandon, Josh, and me went riding back roads in the jeep!  Nicole and Michael got there late that night!  We had a house full, JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT!

Time to go riding... 

Sunday, the boys got up and went to play golf.  Nicole, Logan, and I stayed at the house.  We rented Soul Surfer another movie on lifetime!  It was nice to get to spend time with the two of them, but I wish the weather would have been better because I felt like I did nothing all weekend!

Monday, I went to lay out with Jo at her house for a bit and then went to the house to spend some time with Logan.  We played in the pool, then I met Tess at the walking track and ran, then ran to Nicole's to see the baby!  He's up to 16 lbs and the prettiest little boy ever!  Tuesday morning I took Logan to his 1st day of 1st grade : (

I can't believe how fast he is growing up!  It makes me so sad.  I have mentioned before that he loves music, just like I do.  So I usually let him pick the songs of pick songs that I know he likes when we are in the car together.  That morning he requested Jason Aldean's Hicktown and Alan Jackson's Don't Rock the Jukebox....he's got pretty good taste!  We also listened to Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams and Country Boy by Alan Jackson because he also loves both of those!  After I dropped him off I went straight home and Brit and Jo came over!  We had a wine/craft day!  It was lots of fun.  Wednesday we went shopping!  I bought....

and lots more!  Although, the sunglasses Alan is paying me back for as part of my birthday present.  I also bought a Tennessee sweatshirt at VS, a new shirt at express, a new fedora hat, and some other goodies.  We also went to 

except it was the Nashville store, where I spent too much money!

Back to work Thur-Saturday!

But I'm really hopping the weather will be nice Sunday, because I am dying for a day on the lake

Birthday Weekend!

I turned 25 this weekend, sad I know.

Good news is I had a great weekend.  I slept 3 hours after I got off of work Friday morning, then Margaux, Brittany, and Brandon came over and we went to the lake.  No one was out so we had great water.  Margaux learned to ride and is probably addicted to wakeboarding just like the rest of us!  We had a great time relaxing!  That evening we cooked out.  The 5 of us were there, plus Thad, Blake, Catie-from work, Jo, Noah, Josh, and Jake.  Alan and Brandon cooked and it was delish!  They also made me a cake and managed to get all 25 candles lit, it was cute!  They ended up playing wiffle ball for quite a while, I was running on very little sleep, so I just watched.  It was pretty entertaining.  I think everyone left around 1 am and then I got in the bed.

Blowing out candles on my cake Alan and Brandon made!

 Singing Happy B-Day

Yummy Food

I had wanted to leave early for the lake Saturday morning, but decided to sleep in instead!  Brit and Thad met us later on at Huddle House, we ate and then went back to the house for a bit to watch a movie.  I'm not sure what the movie was, I was working on Maddy's picutres the whole time.

 After it went off, we went to the lake.  We had pretty good water since it was later in the evening.  I finally figured out how to switch!  We stayed till around 8pm.  My favorite time to be on the lake is late in the evening when everyone else is gone!  We had planned on going out to dinner, but I really just wanted to hang out at home with Alan, so that's what we did.  We tried to watch "Unknown" but both fell asleep.

Sunday morning, Nicole, Michael, and Logan came up.  We had breakfast and then went back to the lake for a bit.  We did the usual.  Nicole, Michael, and Logan all tried to wakeboard.  I'm really hoping Logan gets it figured out soon because I know he will love it.  I ended up clearing the wake and actually landing at 70 foot so I was super excited about that...Happy Birthday to me!  Logan tubed for quite a while, that's his favorite thing and this year he is much braver than he was last year!  We ran into a guy Alan used to work with a talked to them for a while.  After the lake, the boys went to play golf and Nicole and I played a couple of games of Monopoly, the Cars 2 version, with Logan and then we all napped.

Later, Logan, Alan, and I went to Chili's to eat for my birthday!  After that we took him over to Josh and Jake's to see Jake's snake.  He was scared of it at first, but ended up holding it and now he says he wants a pet snake.  I told him, that's one thing he probably won't be able to talk his parent's into!

We spent this morning relaxing and then went to town to do some shopping for school clothes!  This is the 1st year I've actually let him pick out some of his own clothing.  He could care less about jeans but he did pick out his shirts.  We also got Nicole a Brighton charm bracelet for her birthday.  I let him pick out which bracelet to get for her and he also picked her out a charm.

I'm not sure why he picked a frog, but that's what he wanted, so I let him get it.  Some of his other choices were a mouse, an airplane, and a fish!  We also got her an "S" for Sissy and because her last name will start with a "S" after she gets married and I got her one that says sister!  We are going to give it to her tomorrow!

Last Weekend!

Friday evening, Alan and I met Brit and Thad at El Tap for dinner!  After dinner we went to see Bad Teacher!

I thought it was so hilarious!  Alan loved it because Cameron Diaz is in it and the thinks she's the hottest girl ever!

She is pretty gorg...

Anyway, after the movie Alan and I went to Josh's house.  He and I played ping pong for ever.  I am horrible, but I LOVE it and then he tried to teach me to play the guitar!  I just can't get my fingers to move the way they should, maybe one day though!  Josh and Jake ended up spending the night at our house that night!

Saturday  morning I got up at 5:45 and started making breakfast.  We had bacon, eggs, biscuits, and gravy.  Brandon came over and ate and then the 5 us of headed to the lake!  We were on the water before 8 a.m. which is a record for us!  We had several hours of good water before the lake got crowded.  I called Brit around 9, and she came down!  We actually ended up leaving about 2:30!  We all went out to eat and to the house for a bit to cool off and then headed back to the water!  

That evening Thad came down and then we all went to watch fireworks at Hurricane!  The boys were shoving  Disaronno down our throats and so by the time the fireworks were over, Brit and I were feeling pretty good!  For whatever reason, we really wanted to go down a slide off of a houseboat, but Alan would not take us!  Anywho, Brit and I were dancing on the back of the boat and singing at the tops of our lungs, until......we got pulled over.....

Sunday, we got up and went to the lake for a bit, came home, showered, and then headed to Dale Hollow to see Pauli.  She was in from Atlanta and I hadn't seen her in quite a while.  Alan and Brandon had been drinking the whole day and were quite entertaining!  She had 5 of her friends from Atlanta with her and we had a really good time!  I miss her so much but I know she is doing what she always dreamed of.  And I just found out she's moving to Denver soon, so hopefully I can go see her this winter and do some snowboarding!

Monday, we went to the lake but the water sucked and I face planted and none of us were really into it.  Alan did try a tantrum, and almost landed it, so he was really pumped!  That evening we went to a cookout at his Ma's and JD took me for a ride in his 79 Camaro....120 MPH on the interstate!  It was pretty crazy!  And......he actually let me drive it!

Tuesday Alan and I ran around doing errands and then I laid down for work!  

Work Tue-Thur night!

Supposed to go camping and fishing this weekend!
