Tennessee

Went for a short visit to Tennessee this weekend to celebrate Al's grandma's 90th birthday! Other than spending time with family, the best part about traveling is....

Staying in a hotel!!! You can see Carter isn't overly thrilled about his bed companion. 

Too precious for words.

Some pool fun after breakfast (after 30 minutes if course).

It was kind of hard to get in a bathing suit...

...with this still covering the ground outside.

There is nothing like getting out of a cold pool and relaxing in the hot tub.

Grandma's cake.

Giving grandma special cards they made for her.

A road trip selfie wouldn't be complete without my bunny ears.

Night out!

Al and I had a charity event for his company tonight in Atlanta. It was nice trading in my school books and glasses for a night out. A special thanks to Uncle Chase for watching the kiddos! 



My hot date and I.

HOTlanta! A beautiful view of the city. I rarely get to see it these days.

A Little Dusting

We were expecting several inches of snow in Atlanta but only received a nice dusting (about an inch). I had two kiddos who were ready for some snow. Who knows, winter doesn't seem to want to end.

School cancelled! Time to play in the snow!

Snowball fight!

He can throw snowballs, but don't you dare throw one at him. Reaction=priceless!

Enough snow for our cute little snowman!

Hours playing in the snow always equals a big cup of hot chocolate.

My Valentines!

Carter had the flu this year on Valentine's Day, but he sure didn't allow it to spoil all the fun! Little did we know, we would all be doomed with the flu in only a matter of days. There is honestly nothing worse than having to take a test with the flu because there is a zero make-up policy for that particular professor. I bossed it with a 95, but I could have made a 100 if I didn't have the flu (insert sarcasm here).

Enough venting, back to our Vday fun...

I made heart shaped pancakes for my favorite little Valentines! Can you imagine the colon scare we all had the next morning after coffee? You got to love red food coloring--haha!

Our nice vday spread.

Valentine selfie with my sweet boy. Poor little fella was absolutely miserable.

A special thanks to my mom for still coming to watch the kiddos in flu infested territory, so Al and I could enjoy this Valentine's Day dinner out. 

Our Valentine from Layla!

New Teeth!

I have been majorly slacking on my blogging lately! Between school, school work, inpatient hospital billing, Boy Scouts, mommy, wife, etc...I would seriously loose my head if it was not attached. 

On a brighter note, it looks like Carter is finally going to get some big boy teeth! It is strange that his two baby teeth in front are not even loose. I guess they are finally getting their eviction notice and maybe an apple or two can speed up that eviction. We shall see!

Game Day!

We have been having a lot of rain which means two kiddos with cabin fever. So today we decided to play some board games.

Monopoly Jr.

Layla took the win in Monopoly Jr. So we moved on to the game Sorry.

Our winner in Sorry!

With the winning color.

Happy New Year!

Spent our New Year's Day at the park running off some stored up energy from all the rain we have had.
