I'm trying really hard to keep up with blogging, but I stay so, so busy...
Here's a recap of the past 10 or so days....
Last Friday, the 11th, was Logan's birthday and he had a little party at school. Mom and I went to it and brought chips and cupcakes. It was fun and I always love going up to his school and seeing how he interacts with the other kids. He got a trampoline for his birthday and Nicole and Michael put that together for him while he was at school. After school, he came home and played on it for a while and then I took him to take some pictures at daddys barn. Daddy and Paula were there so I talked to them for a bit too! I spent the night Friday and got up pretty early and headed back to Baxter.
Saturday I went shopping and then went to see Alan. He had to work the weekend so I spent the night with him at his hotel. We went out to eat and just spent time together at the hotel. On Sunday, I came home, showered and then met some girls from work to take a quick little trip to Pigeon Forge. We had an awesome cabin. The 1st night we stayed in and watched a movie. On Monday, we got up went to the Apple Barn to eat (which was AMAZING) and then went shopping. I didn't really find anything. :( After shopping we went to get a pedicure and then one of the girls made us supper and then we watched a movie. It was a nice relaxing time and I'm so glad I was able to go. I love those girls to death and I'm so lucky to have such great coworkers.
Came home Tuesday and worked Tuesday and Wednesday. I was supposed to work Thursday but Daddy called and told me about little man, I was worried so I called in and went to see him.
On Friday, I met Kelsie and we got a pedicure and done a little shopping. I picked up some fabric to make little man a quilt so I came home and worked on that and then me and Alan went out to eat.
Saturday was Logan's party so I went home for that, came back home and met up with Kels, Lewey, Brit, Thad, Brandon M., and some other people to go bowling. After that we went to Wooly's and Ihop. It was a fun/much needed night!

Logan's 1st Concert
On Friday, Febrauary 25 I took Logan to his 1st concert....he loved it and I'm so happy I got to expierence his 1st concert with him.
I took him to see Jason Aldean in Knoxville at Thompson Bowling Arena. Ever since Jason Aldean released Big Green Tractor, Logan has LOVED the song...of course, at the time the song came out he loved anything and everything that had anything to do with tractors. Anywho, he loves the song, like knows every work of it and has for a long time. He even sang karaoke to it at Kelsie and Lewey's wedding back in November of 2010. I had always said if Jason Aldean came to Knoxville I would take him, so I bought us tickets as soon as I found out he would be there.
Logan wasn't really sure if he wanted to go or not. Mom had told him a while back that concerts were boring and so he was on the fence and honestly, I wasn't going to push him to go, because we weren't that impressed with the concert when we saw it in Chattanooga. Anyway, he decided the week of the concert that he wanted to go and by Friday he was really excited. I met mom in Monterey to pick him up around 1 pm, took him to get his hair cut, and then went to Brandon and Blake's to meet them! So....it was me, Logan, Alan, Brandon, Blake, and Joanna......crazy crew! Logan loves being around everyone so he was already having a blast.
We stopped at Smoky Mountain Brewery to eat in Turkey Creek before the concert. We missed the Jane Deer Girls, which I'm was NOT upset about. Eric Church came out right as we were getting to our seats. Most of the time Logan was looking pretty bored during Eric Church so I was a little worried that he was going to be bored during the whole show. When he sang Love Your Love the Most, (mustuard on my fries is what Logan calls it) Logan stood up in his chair and sang. Then when he sang these boots we convinced him to take his boot off and hold it up in the air. All the ladies around us got a kick out of him all night long! The whole time Eric was playing he kept asking when Jason Aldean was going to sing.
Once Eric went off stage and they turned the lights on, he just kept asking when Jason Aldean was gonna come on stage! Then the next questions he asked a million times was....what I thought his 1st song was gonna be? Honestly, I can't remember the 1st song, but I do remember that he knew the words to almost every song and he had the biggest smile on his face. He would sit down after each song thinking that he wouldn't know the next song and that he wouldn't wanna stand up to sing it and almost everytime he was up singing. I do know that he was on cloud 9 when Big Green Tractor came on! He stood up, was dancing, playing the air guitar, and singing EVERY word! I LOVED it! He had worn a cowboy hat and had taken it off. For whatever reason, when Big Greeen Tractor came on, he immedietly said I need my cowboy hat....it was so cute! Anyhow, Big Green Tractor, Crazytown, and Hicktown were the 3 songs he really loves and wanted to hear. He sang Big Green Tractor and Crazytown and then went off stage. Logan sat down in his seat, put his cowboy hat in his lap and fell asleep. I knew he'd come back on stage and he did. Hicktown was his last song and I woke Logan up a couple of times to see if he wanted to wake up to hear it, but he just pushed me off....it was 11:30 at this point so the boy was TIRED! I stood up to sing along and watch, turned around to talk to Alan and then I felt a little tug on my arm. Logan had woke up, was back standing up in his chair and singing along! It was a great night!
He is already asking when the next concert is and when we can go back to another one! I am so excited, I think he's gonna love live music as much as I do. I can't wait to take him to another one!
He fell asleep as soon as we got into the car. He spent the night with us and Saturday we got up, did a little shopping, went to the park, came home and painted wooden dinausours, went to eat chinease, and then went to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D. It was such a cute movie and actually held Logan's attention the whole time, which is hard to do. Plus, Alan even said it was good! After the movie, we went by Wal-Mart to get some things and ended up buying a Kinect for the xbox. We spent the rest of the evening playing it!

New Baby Brother!!!
I have a new baby brother......
My dad called on Thursday to tell me.
He was born at 27 weeks gestation and only weighed 3lbs, 4oz but is doing good right now. He has been breathing on his own, peeing, and pooping which I know a lot of preemies have trouble with.
I immediately hopped in my car and drove to the hospital where he was at to see him after I got off the phone with my dad. He is so TINY. Of course, he had lost about 5 oz from birth when I saw him and they weren't feeding him at that time, but his nurse was really sweet, answered my 1,000,000 questions, and said he's doing great!
I'm so excited but yet so worried about the little guy...

Logan's 6th Birthday
Mom had Logan's 6th birthday party yesterday. It was a huge success and I think he had tons of fun. In the past we have just invited family to his parties. This year mom actually invited a couple of kids from his class, some from his basketball team, and some other, plus the kids in our family. They rented a huge bounce house that had an obstacle course and a slide. The kids really enjoyed that, Nicole and I did, too!
He was running around playing the whole time and I actually think he had forgotten that it was his birthday and he had presents, cake, and ice cream! He got the secret agent spy watch he had been wanting, some matchbox cars, clothes, money, and lots more! We asked him what his favorite part was and he said the bounce house.
His friend Olivia stayed later and played. I think he really enjoyed that. He had gotten a voice changer/disguiser at the party and so we let them prank call a couple of people. That was pretty funny! Overall, it was a great time!

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!

Jan 31st-Feb 6th Recap
Mond-Wedn WORK!
Thursday-Sleep!
Friday-I got up cleaned the house, ran some errands, done a little shopping, and then went back to the house to start packing for Chattanooga! Brandon, Blake, Jonathan, Brittany, Thad, and Joanna met us at the house and we headed out. I napped on the way down. We got to our hotel, checked in, and then Brit and Jo started getting ready. I had been up since 1am Friday ( right now, I'm having a horrible time getting back on a normal schedule after my 3 nights at work) so I didn't wanna get dressed up and really didn't wanna do anything. I was just a bit....grumpy! Anyhow, we called a taxi/van to come get all of us. We went to Taco Mac to have dinner. I got a kids meal with corn dogs but someone ordered chips and cheese dip and it was the best cheese dip EVER! After dinner we decided to go to the Electric Cowboy. I'm not sure whose idea it was to go to go this place but it was HORRIBLE. Seriously it was one of the shadiest places I've ever been. After a few minutes we called the taxi to come back and get us. So after we wasted over $40 on taxis we ended up back downtown, right where we started. I can't remember the 1st place we went downtown but there was some horrible HARD rock group playing and no one (except Alan) was really into it. We ended the night at Sing It or Wing It which was the best place we went all night! I was soooo tired and so ready to get in the bed once we got back to the hotel.
Saturday we all slept in and laid around for most of the morning. Joanna needed to get something to wear and Brandon needed some white shirts to we went to the mall. Joanna and I took off to get the shopping quickly done. I'm a quick shopper and she's a SLOW shopper so I have to keep her on track.....ha! We stopped at a random sunglasses store and I fell IN LOVE with some Tiffany sunglasses! Sadly the were $450 and I just can't see spending that much on sunglasses, especially when at least 5 pair of mine end up at the bottom of the lake each summer.
After shopping, we went back to the room and started drinking and getting ready for dinner and the concert! Margaux and Brook stayed at the same hotel and they came to the room a few minutes before we headed out. We had to have to two taxi vans to get all of us. Kelsie and Lewey were already downtown and had tried to get us a table at Chili's but the wait was crazy so they walked into Sing it or Wing it and got us a table. We (all 12 of us) had dinner there and then called a taxi to come get us. Downtown was so crazy, the taxi was taking forever, and we were getting close to time for the concert SO........when the taxi got there........all 12 of us piled in!!! Yes 13 people in one taxi van! Jonathan was setting on Blake's lap...it was hilarious. But we made it to the concert in time for Eric Church. He put on a great show!!! I wasn't too impressed with Jason Aldean though! He sang way to many slow songs! After the concert the boys (blake, brandon, and jonathan) left with some girls and we all went to Mellow Mushroom. We ate a little and had a few drinks and then went back to the room. When we got there the 3 boys were all in their room in the bed.......hahahahahha! Everyone hung out in the room for a while and then went to bed. It was a great trip and I love when we all get together!
Sunday was the Super Bowl. Brandon had a get together at his house and we went for a while. I was worn out so we left after 1/2 time.
ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND!

Jan 24th-30th
I have been putting off this post b/c I haven't put my pictures on my computer...and I still haven't. But it's 2 am and I'm bored out of my mind so I figured I'd go ahead and post and will add the pictures later.
I worked Mond-Wedn as usual! I came home Thursday morning cleaned up the house, did some laundry, and a few other things and went to bed. Alan called when he was on his way home from work and I got up and started packing. Once he got home, we headed out to Gatlinburg!!! We left a lot later than I had hoped so we just grabbed something quick to eat and drove. We got to our room around 9pm. This is the 1st time that Alan booked the room by himself and he did a great job. We were both tired and so we just kinda watched some TV and went to bed. We got up early Friday, bundled up, ate breakfast, and then headed to Ober Gatlinburg to try snowboarding for the 2nd time. We hoped that since it was Friday and we got there when they opened that it wouldn't be too crowded, but we were wrong. There were people everywhere!
After we finally made it outside and got our boards on we kinda just stood around a bit, both a little scared...I think. After we watched plenty of people fall we finally went down the smallest hill. We both did ok and decided to go up a level. We both did so much better than last time and we really enjoyed it a lot more! Of course, we both fell plenty of times and we still can't really do much without falling but we are learning and excited to go back sometime...hopefully soon. We are thinking that we may buy boards soon.
After 1/2 day of snowboarding we went back to our hotel, changed clothes, and went to eat. We ate at 5 guys for the 1st time and it was DELISH! I had a cheeseburger with bacon on it and we split some cajun fries. I wasn't crazy about the fries but Alan loved them. After lunch we went shopping at the outlets. I got Logan tons of new clothes and picked up a few shirts for me. We went to the Oakley store and Alan ended up getting a new outfit for snowboarding!
After shopping we went back to the room, I napped and he watched TV then we got up and went to TJI Fridays for dinner. We don't have a TJI Fridays in Cookeville and I love their Jack Daniels Chicken and Shrimp and their Brownie Obsession, so every time we are in a city with a TGI Fridays, we eat there if I have anything to do with it!
Saturday morning we checked out and went to Knoxville to do a little shopping and then went to Logan's ballgame. He's still pretty clueless about what's going on so it's very entertaining to watch him play. After the game we went to the house to spend some time with the family, I also had to take Logan all of his new clothes, which BTW, he could care less about.
Overall it was a great weekend and I can't wait to snowboarding again. I just love getaways with the boyfriend!!!

We both did ok and decided to go up a level. We both did so much better than last time and we really enjoyed it a lot more! Of course, we both fell plenty of times and we still can't really do much without falling but we are learning and excited to go back sometime...hopefully soon. We are thinking that we may buy boards soon.
After 1/2 day of snowboarding we went back to our hotel, changed clothes, and went to eat. We ate at 5 guys for the 1st time and it was DELISH! I had a cheeseburger with bacon on it and we split some cajun fries. I wasn't crazy about the fries but Alan loved them. After lunch we went shopping at the outlets. I got Logan tons of new clothes and picked up a few shirts for me. We went to the Oakley store and Alan ended up getting a new outfit for snowboarding!
After shopping we went back to the room, I napped and he watched TV then we got up and went to TJI Fridays for dinner. We don't have a TJI Fridays in Cookeville and I love their Jack Daniels Chicken and Shrimp and their Brownie Obsession, so every time we are in a city with a TGI Fridays, we eat there if I have anything to do with it!
Saturday morning we checked out and went to Knoxville to do a little shopping and then went to Logan's ballgame. He's still pretty clueless about what's going on so it's very entertaining to watch him play. After the game we went to the house to spend some time with the family, I also had to take Logan all of his new clothes, which BTW, he could care less about.
Overall it was a great weekend and I can't wait to snowboarding again. I just love getaways with the boyfriend!!!
