WeeKend N k-ville

So I am not sure how in the world I am sitting up typeing at the moment, after the exhausting weekend we have had.  But it was a wonderful time, and it always is!

So friday we headed out to my parents, to celebrate my lil brothers bday, which actually isnt till next weekend, so once we got there did nothing exciting that night relaxed, hugs and kisses, you know all the family things you do when u havnt seen each other in a lil while.

Got up saturday morning and got into party mode!  We had hot dogs and chilli at the house, and got ready and headed out to pick up the cake at Maggie Moos.  Jacob had his party at a gun range which was a awesome idea.  We got to Gunnys and they had a party room, where we could do cake ice cream and the gifts, once we did that he sat up a screen and we had laser guns to shoot to practice targeting before we went down and shot the actual guns.  But before we get to that, jacob got some awesome gifts, but naturally we got him the best A video camera he as been saving his money for, but we found a better one so he took our camera  back and got the cash for it and added like 3o bucks to it and got a HD one, and still had money left over to buy other things, he was very very excited!  And I love the excitement in kids eyes, or well he isnt a kid anymore, but I so still love it!!!!  So after that we headed down to shot the actual guns.  We got to shot two .22 pistols and two .22 rifels, and a AK 47.  So this is the first time I have ever shot a gun, oh man once I worked up the courage to do it ,cause i’ve always been a lil afraid of guns, I LOVED it!  Oh the power u feel when u pull that trigger!  I can not wait to shot again and sooooo want my own gun now!  It was a lot of fun and the best part about that was that the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids did.  So after that we headed home, hung around there, snacked around got the kids in the bed.  And enjoyed some hot tub time…..

So sunday, the day we are supposed to come home…..  Well didnt actually happen.  Dad and Mike worked up a plan to go fishing, once they decided to do that me, mom and the kids decided to go shopping.  Of course for us it was way more stressful, nolan was NOT in a shopping mood!!!  However the kids did rack up this trip and they seem to always do!  So once we all made it back home at 7 something, me and mike just couldnt bear to think of getting in that car and driving 3 hours home, so we decided to stay another night and get a early start in the morning….So we thought…

Monday, early start….NOT!!!!  Slept till 10, we were all in need of some sleep and well we got it.. Once we were up mom decided to fix breakfast, yum pancakes and bacon, so we ate and then packed took showers and finally got out of my moms by 12.  Once we hit lenor city which is about 2o mins out from my parents we stopped and ate at Ruby Tuesdays and then got on the interstate about 1 something.  So we are driving down the road and britt sees the Toy R Us sign, and we hear “Oh CAN WE GO TO TOY R US!?”  we say no, but then changed our minds, of course, we will take the kids there let them get a toy then get back on the road.. Ha Ha ya right.  So now we are down in west knoxville, the kids find nothing at Toys R Us, can you believe that, but right down from toys r us is a barnes and noble, NEXT STOP..  I’m a sucker for bookstores.  Went in there got brit a book and a journal, nolan was not interested he was ready to go.  So we leave there and oh theres a Target, mike and britt have never been in a target, I know crazy!  So of course we stop there!  Britt got a awesome barbie and nolan picked out a 8 car lightening mcqueen set, and I oh  yes I got all the Sookie Stackhouse books!!!!  Well the 8 that are out be getting the 9th one very soon!  READ THEM, if you liked twilight and enjoy vampires, dont miss this series!  So finally after wasteing to much time we are back on the interstate and off we go, but not before stopping at the Bass Pro Shop.  Mike got a awesome fishing pole and reel, I mean if hes gonna fish he needs equipment.  Then we left there after being in there forever and walked down to the beef jerkey outlet, and then down to the Marble Creme ice cream place and me and britt got some ice cream, and then finally finally back in the car and on the way home.  Once we hit kingsport we stop and run into walmart cause I wanted to print off some pics, but we were to late and they were already closed, Bummer, but the kids did get another toy lol!  Our kids dont get told no a lot.  And left there headed over to pals, ate and then back on our way home and at last we made it home around 10:40!  I put the kids in the tub, mike unloaded the car, got the kids out and straight to bed for them.  Which is exactly where me and mike were heading, but havnt made it there yet.  What is wrong with us?

Well we had a wonderful time, I love when we get to go visit, its my favorite place for us to go!  But I am def. glad to be home.  Even if I have a crap done of stuff to get done before May the 18th.  Woohoo back to reality!

Man, I am so in love with my life!  I couldnt ask for more…
