Nashville!

Going to eat at the spaghetti factory.  As you can see, Zach is watching TV! Haha
 Well, a little more focused now!
 In front of "Batman" aka, the at and t tower!  We always looked for it driving through Nashville when we were little!  By the way, downtown Nashville was crazy!  Paying for parking was an experience to say the least and we didn't care a lot for the Spaghetti factory.  At least we know now though we'd rather avoid it!  We still had a fun night!

                                              

 Friday we went to visit The Hermitage, home of former president Andrew Jackson.
                                               
                                          My handsome husband with the house behind him. 
                                                           Me in front of the house! (In case you're wondering why I'm dressed so funny, I was trying not to over pack for the trip, and ended up severely underpacking.  That was Zach's shirt.  Next time I'll just be myself and over do! Lesson learned!)
 Sitting in some shade while we were exploring the property.  It was so very hot that day. 
 The garden that President Jackson's wife dearly loved.  I can see why, it was beautiful!
                                                      President and Mrs. Jackson's graves.

                               Super excited because we were at The Cheesecake Factory!  We were even more excited because it wasn't down town! Ha!
Zach eating was the only way I could sneak a picture of him! Sorry honey!  He really liked this place though!  I was so happy!
My ultimate red velvet cheesecake.  So good, but I was so full, I almost made myself sick eating it!  Luckily, my sweet husband helped me out with it!
 Me in all my cowbooted glory! I thought I looked pretty good, although Zach said it may have looked a little goofy!  Who cares, it's music city!

Another timer picture! Zach's head got cut off, but he didn't want to take another one! Plus, the opening ceremony for the Olympics was coming on! My excitment level was very high!
 We went shopping at Opryland and I found this!  I wanted it, but didn't need it! ; )

Saturday morning, we checked out of the hotel and went to Opry mills to finish shopping since we didn't buy anything Thursday. 
We then ate at the Rainforest Cafe.  Definitely a place for experience and not the food.  The fish were very pretty! 
                                                We didn't find Nemo, but we found Dory!
                                                           Zach in front of the fish tank.
                                                        Waiting for our food!  That flash was bright since the restaraunt was kind of dimly lit!
 We then went to Bass Pro and then headed home!  It was so good to see our Nellie girl!  I know she had a good time at her grandparents, but we sure did miss her!  It was so very nice to get away though.  I hope it isn't another 2 years before we get to do it again!  Thanks for a wonderful trip, honey! I love you!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
