Weekend get away

Got some good news Thursday morning on my way to have the final eye surgery...we had a room in Gatlinburg Saturday and Sunday! WOW! Well...Jason had to work 7am-7pm Saturday, but that's ok we made the best of it. Heidi's grandmother passed away and the funeral was in Knoxville Saturday, so me and the boys packed our bags and headed to Knoxville with Heidi, Kevin, & Brenda. We ate at McDonlad's (that's what you get for letting a 4 year old pick where we eat) in Ooltewah then headed that way. Jax and I rode with Heidi and Jase rode with Mamaw and Kevin. Life was great...JAx was asleep...Heidi and I were having good conversations and we were make GREAT time...



Yep...you guessed it...we were in park just hanging out on the freeway. And as soon as the tires quit rolling one little boy woke up screaming. So we had to improvise...

He didn't know what to think...sitting in my lap in the car. He was great.
While sitting there...people became impatient and decided to go through the median...did I mention that it had rained for almost 2 days? Well it didn't get this guy too far...just a tow fee and a little embarrassment...



And after sitting there for a hour and half...we started moving - and this guy was still sitting there talking to the tow truck guy. Jax went back to sleep and before we knew it we were in Knoxville.

Saturday morning we woke up and ate a big breakfast and Jase got to swim! Brenda, the boys, and I headed to Gatlinburg to check in to the condo. We first had to eat at the Chick-Fil-A by the Walmart (that's what Jase told us!). Around 3:30 we finally got in our room - and by 4:30 we were all sound asleep until 6:45! Kevin and Heidi arrived and we headed out to Red Lobster...then Jason and Mike arrived. Finally everyone there together...for about 3 hours! Kevin had to work Saturday and Brenda had to teach Children's Church so they headed back to Chattanooga. Sunday Heidi and I did a little shopping and Jase went swimming! When Brenda got back - yes she came back - They stayed Sunday night and kept Jase with them- Jason, Heidi, Jax and I headed to Ringgold for the Super Bowl.

Thanks to Bryan and Ashley we had dinner waiting on us and a great time was had by all! This little man is getting so big and so fast! He was showing off his new trick...Walking!

It makes me sad and it's not my baby! They grow up so fast!

And Jax taking Jase's place by loving on Aunt Heidi...she was tired and so was he!


Thanks Bryan and Ashley for having us over and a great time - and the GiGi's cupcake! Wow that was good!
