Southern Girl in the making...

I just got back from my trip to Nashville! This will be a two segment blog - so pace yourself!
I had SOOO much fun. I got in on Friday and poor little Noah was still SUPER sick. Sarah and Jason ended up taking him to the ER and he got admitted for dehydration! He got to stay overnight and the nurses brought him a Nintendo into his room to play after he started feeling better the next day. (Carson had a suspicious tummy ache and "needed to go to the doctor" after being without Nintendo for a few hours too!) It was fun to have bonding time with Miss Elizabeth who is seriously the sweetest baby you've ever seen. Even teething as she is right now...nothing but smiles from this cutie-patoo-tie.


Carson showed off his biking skills! Can you believe he's 4 and already riding a bike without training wheels!? I was pretty impressed.
Carson is a snuggly boy! I liked him a lot! We went grocery shopping one day just him and I and (reason # 763 why I'm not a parent) - we left there and he had 4 "treats"! I tried to be tough and say "no"...but he would just give me this look and say "Puh-weeeeze" and I was done for!

I was glad that Noah came home. You could tell he felt a whole lot better the second he got home. This was us playing Dinosaur Extinct the night he came home from the hospital.

(video coming soon)



I had so much fun with Sarah and Jason too! Sarah took me to this super FAB shoe store (seriously ladies..Dansko shoes for $35.00!) And yes, I bought 5 pairs of shoes there..on top of the 2 I had already bought somewhere else the other day. Hi my name is Jamie, and I'm a shoe-a-holic.

It was great to relax, and not be at work and get to just hang out with my friend.
My aunt that lives in Seattle was in Nashville for a convention - so I did get to lunch with her which was nice. And I got to see Kristi Lee (installment 2 coming soon!). All in all a very lovely trip. I do love the south. Love the yes sir, yes ma'am and Sweet Tea! YUM!

Other random pictures from the trip. (In order: Carson the snowman, Sarah, Noah Skywalker, My fanny -thanks Carson, Ugly morning face, and Blair Witch Carson). I actually think Carson took every one of those pictures except the snowman! He loved playing with the Camera. Also if you don't know about Webkinz...it's stuffed animals your kids can have that they take care of online. Teaching responsibility without actually having poop! My idea of a good time!

Nashville!! That takes me back a few years -- so glad you had a fun trip. I'm sure the shoe-buying made it a happy time - it would for me!
