I wanted to do something fun prior to my return to work. I begged Jason for a short beach trip...well he wouldn't give in! So I talked him into going to the TN game when we played Ohio. He didn't want to go because it was supposed to rain...well he gave in and we head to K town with Kevin and Heidi. It has been forever since we have been able to hang out with them! I thought Jason bought tickets...he didn't. He told me not to worry...so I didn't. We stopped and ate lunch at Hooters in Knoxville and got to the stadium just minutes before the game started. We were across the street from the stadium and Jason approached a guy selling tickets...we bought 2 tickets on the 10 yard line 3 rows back for $40! We had AWESOME seats! We called Kevin and Heidi (who were sitting on the very top row of the stadium and they headed down to sit with us!
Here we are at the game
Here are Heidi and I (look how close we are to the field!!!)
I am so blessed to have her in our lives...she is an awesome aunt to our boys! my parents didn't give me siblings so I just love her to death! Can't wait for my nieces or nephews to arrive (NO she is NOT expecting). I will be the best aunt possible. They better look out if they have the little girls!
So I survived my first week back to work...it was really hard to leave little Jax but I felt much better knowing that My grandmother (GG) was at home taking care of him. Work itself hadn't changed one bit! It has been nice to be back on a schedule, but would much rather be at home watching my baby grow!
I got several text messages from Jason on my second day back to work (he was home with the boys until my grandmother arrived)
here is Jax just hanging out
and I love getting these types of pictures...look close...this is Jase eating an ICEE for BREAKFAST!!
My grandmother was worried about Jase pitching a fit about having to go to school and not staying at home with GG so I had to be creative to get him out the door by telling him we would stop and get an ICEE. She said that she wouldn't keep Jax if Jase got in trouble about not wanting to go to school! He was so excited about getting home and seeing Jax...he forgot about his ICEE so I put it in the freezer and Daddy let him have it for breakfast!
October is a busy birthday month! It starts on October 7th which is Mike's birthday (my father-in-law), Oct 9 is my dad's birthday, Oct 11 is Jason's and my aunt Jerri's, Oct 13 is Kevin's, and Oct 25 is my grandmother's. Crazy month!
Friday night was a girls night out! What a way to end my first week back to work...hanging with those that I just love to be with! We started out with dinner at Olive Garden...not very enjoyable due to the threat of tornado's touching down in our area (they didn't put all of our phones were ringing off the hook). Once we realized we were not going to be sucked away...the night was much more enjoyable! After dinner we headed to Becca's to get none the less..socks...for Bowling. We had such a good time. When I got home...the boys were in bed!
Friday was also my dad's 50th birthday! Mom took him to Ft Lauder dale to visit some friends and they headed to the Keys for a few days. They had a great time. They went deep sea fishing and this was the outcome of that...
Mom said they headed to the marina and fried this fish and ate it...head and all! Well I don't think they ate the head...but they fried it! My dad is the one on the right. Thank God everyday for a wonderful family and for giving me such an awesome dad! He has been very instrumental in my life.
Saturday was just as crazy as the rest of the week! But I did get to sleep in a little! Then it was up and at it...I had a baby shower to attend for a very old friend... Gina Young Goodman. She is due in Nov with her first child and his name is Braylon (will call him Bray). Marti and our little babies and I went shopping that morning then headed over to the shower. We had a great time and it was so nice to catch up with old friends. Then off to Marti and Blakes for chili dinner! Her hubby had dinner ready when we got there! It was a little crazy...4 adults and 4 children...She has a 2 year old little boy, Brody and an 9 week old little girl, Brynlie. We had fun but a little crazy with all the kido's!
Sunday was just as crazy...Church at 10 and then lunch at noon for Jason's birthday with a few friends from church. We have been so blessed with our friends! God is good all the time...and all the time God is good. Jason was excited that I planned a little something for his birthday! I think he was more excited about the gift I got him...a new gun (picture to follow). Boys and their toys!
Went home for a little nap and then we went to the Ronald McDonald fair at the River park. We have went every year so Jason was bound and determined to take Jase. Ant then you guessed it...back to church for Awana's. After church we went to Jason's favorite restaurant...Outback. We met the Moses clan. Jase loves all the cool things Kevin teaches him and the silly things Kevin will do with him. I have some pictures of Kevin and Jase doing this silly dance that Heidi was instructing...I'll post those later on.
So I am taking a big leap...I've applied for graduate school at UTC. I hope to earn a Masters in Education with Licensure. I am very nervous, but I am following my heart and desire. So, I ask for your prayers! And maybe assistance!
Hope you all are having a blessed day!
