NASHVILLE

I started a post about Nashville last week. I accidentally posted it before it was done, then deleted it, then got sick. So now you just get pictures. I don't have the energy to list our daily activities on our trip. I will say that it was tons of fun for the whole family. Draven and Lillie had a blast! Now here are a few pictures...
Our first night in Little Rock.

After checking into our hotel our next stop was visiting campus.

Waiting for the best meal in Nashville. I mean it, this place is awesome!





Walking campus. It is absolutely beautiful!


Draven and Lillie's first frat party!

Lillie making friends with the sorority girls.

The Parthenon.




Saturday after tailgating we went and explored Nashville



Draven and Chris were chasing after each other with pooper scooper bags on the Mississippi.

Draven and I taking goofy pictures of ourselves.

Now here's a fun family activity.

We saw lots of this guy.

Who's this????

Which one is the real king?

I have to say, this is not a bad look for the kid.




I got arrested for public drunkenness.



This was Lillie's favorite part of the trip. She tried ice cream for the first time. This place had the best coffee.









We drove all over trying to find Chris' favorite bbq spot. It's called Mary's, check out her photo. She looks like Rosanne Barr.

Chris and I got the Loretta Lynn bed, Draven had Roy Rogers.

Lillie had fun just playing in the hotel room.


On our way out of town we stopped at Loveless cafe.







A geology lesson on the way out of town. We stopped and dug for fossils off the side of the highway.


Memphis on the way home.

Lillie crashed right on top of me. We were all tired from our trip.

Sleep tight!

8 months old... 1 more thing!

A couple of nights ago Me, Lilie, and Draven were in bed watching TV. Lillie kept grabbing Draven's face and saying "Bubba." Pretty sure this is her first word. We have all been working on that first word. I am trying to teach her "MaMa" and Chris is trying to teach her "DaDa" and Draven has been trying to teach her "Bubba." I will even try to get her to say "Mmmm, MaMa." And instead she says "Mmmm Bubba." Pretty sweet, she loves her Bubba.

8 months old...

Lillie is finally feeling better. She had a cold, bronchitis, and ended it with a stomach bug. There has been so many changes now that she is 8 months old. She can officially crawl, she got a tooth, she can get in to a sitting position and crawling position by herself. Auntie Lo got her to sleep through the night on Saturday. She slept for 11 hours straight! It has been a crazy month, but crazy good.
Friday we started getting ready for Lillie's baptism. Lillie and Draven went to Aunt Gum's for a little play time. Lillie ate her carrots and seemed to have her appetite back. When I put her to bed around 9pm she seemed snugly and didn't want to eat. Around 3am Saturday Lillie started throwing up non stop. We had rehearsal that morning at 9:30 am. When we got to church she seemed like she was completely better. Saturday we spent the day getting ready for her party. Lots of shopping and cleaning. Auntie helped out a lot! We cleaned while the boys watched football and drank beer. Sunday Lillie was doing fantastic. She had a great night sleep (that was the night Auntie put her to bed and she slept 11 hours!) She looked beautiful in her gown and did a fantastic job during church and the actually baptism. She just smiled and looked so pretty. After church we all went to our house for snacks and champagne. All was going well until Lillie developed diarrhea. Aunt Sis was holding her and Lillie had a nasty leaky diaper. That was just the beginning. Anything she ate or drank went right through her. Around 10pm, It was Chris' turn. He was so sick! I had Lillie and Chris in bed me. Luckily, this morning I feel great. I don't think I am going to get the bug. I hope not, Lillie and Chris are much better patients then I am.

Sick Baby...

Yup, sick again. Got to love daycare. Speaking of daycare... I quit my job! No more daycare for Lillie... She started off with a cold and ended up with Bronchitis. Poor thing. She has to use a nebulizer every 2-4 hours. She is such a good sport. She goes back to the doctor on Monday to see if she is getting better. Let's hope so...
Draven put Lillie in this funny hat. She was still smiling for the camera even though she felt bad. You can see in her eyes she doesn't feel will.


Draven wanted to make her feel better...

Lillie getting nebulized!
