Wee Wilson Tales

Thursday we went to Nashville to celebrate John's birthday. We stopped and ate at Red Robin on the way there. Then we went to downtown Nashville. We went to Tootsies , a karaoke bar, and then ended the night in the Cadillac Ranch listening to country music bands. On Friday, we got up and went to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel (one of my favorite places). The were having auditions for Nashville Star. It was fun to watch people lined up and then to come out and say they made it. We at lunch at Paisano's , and the pizza was fabulous. We had a T ommy's Tour at 1:00 that took us through Nashville and to see homes of the stars. I actually heard about this tour on Trip Advisor , but I highly recommend it. We all had a blast! The Union Station hotel - beautiful!!!!! Alan Jackson's 50 million dollar estate: Then Friday night, we went to Miss Marple's Murder Mystery dinner theatre . It was hilarious. We were all given celebrity names when we arrived since the show was the "...

She was born at 10:19 on March 13! She weighed 6lbs 8 oz, 19 1/2 inches. She actually has dark brown hair . . . more than Karen had when she was born. Harlee Kate is so precious, and sweet, and beautiful that I could just eat her up. There is no feeling like your baby sister having a baby of her own. I feel like she's mine too!!! I must say that the new MOMMY is doing very well. She's walking, nursing, sleeping, and acting better than I was in this stage. I'm very impressed with her. And she loves her little girl so much already that it just makes me cry. Yes, almost everything makes me cry these days . . . but still . . . it's just this tiny little miracle!!! She did have a scheduled C-section. If it hadn't taken 5 attempts to get her epidural in, I think she would have said this was a breeze!!! Look what an angel Jax was at the hospital . . . JUST KIDDING!!! He's a boy . . . he's wild . . . he was opening all the cabinet doors/drawers, trying to grab the...

John's birthday was yesterday (3/16)!! I had a Paintball party for him on Saturday. It's sort of a tradition, we just skipped a few years. I'm also taking him to Nashville this weekend for a surprise weekend. He knows we're going, but doesn't know what we're doing yet. Click here to see the Paintball collage! We went to eat lunch with John's dad, sister and family on Sunday. He put Jax on our 4-wheeler for the first time. He loved it!

Mom and Dad sold their house. They are currently renting across the street from us until they build. I'm a little sentimental so I took pics of everything on our last Sunday there. I won't bore you with all of them, but here are a few . . . Karen and I got to make 2 trips to the doctor's office together. My last appointment, I got to hear the heartbeat. Our last chance to take a belly picture together. Karen : 37 wks 3days Amanda 11 wks 5 days Jax wanted to be in one with us! Their gazebo: The house: The barn: John and Jax: Our meal - fried pork loin, black eyed peas, butter beans, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, fudge pie. Jax dressed up from church. What they were watching on TV

Friday (before Spring Break) we left school early, and we actually got snow! Real snow to play in!! We played Friday night and Saturday. When we woke up Saturday morning, we couldn't see grass anywhere. We got 3 1/2 inches. Of course the sun came out pretty quickly and it started to melt. I t was 40 degrees Saturday, so it was almost all melted by the end of the day. This was Friday night when it was still snowing. Our house: This was Saturday . . . after it started melting. I'm so mad I didn't capture the white blanket pictures first We actually had 2 snowgiants . . . Somehow I never took a picture of the 2nd which was even bigger. John making a snow angel I'm sure you won't find it hard to believe that there are MANY more pictures of the snow. Just click here to see the full album.
