After 17 Years, Still Surprising Me…

And everyone else.  You’d think I’d know everything about Dave and then he does this…

Dave playing “Mustang Sally” at Rum Runners

It started with an innocent night out for a friend’s birthday.  We go to Rum Runners, not knowing it was Open Mic night, where you’re allowed to sing or play the instruments.  When I saw Dave get on stage, I thought for sure he’d be singing.  Boy was I wrong!  I have never heard him play the drums before and he played them almost perfectly!  The audio in the video isn’t the greatest and you can’t really hear him playing – all that you can hear is everyone laughing!  Trust me, he did a great job! 

Spring Break–More Fun in Nashville, TN

Family Fun at Dave & Buster’s (the whole family taking over Skee Ball)

Downtown Nashville, TN – posing with Elvis

Science Center – Kelsie “walking on the moon” (who knew it hurt so much?!)

Kelsie and I playing a “Brain Wave” game, trying to move a ball with just our brain waves.  Notice my brain activity compared to Kelsie’s.  EARTH TO JENN!  What…was I asleep??!

Kelsie picking a brain.  Kelsie and Katie picking a nose.  All good fun here.

Kelsie and Katie in the Hurricane Simulator.  Looks like the machine stayed on 18 MPH the entire time, but that’s enough wind to give you a bad hair day, right Katie?

Lots of fun had by the whole family!

Spring Break–Nashville, TN– Shopping for Boots

Back to our Spring Break trip…

We decided that while we were in TN, we’d buy some real cowboy boots.  You can find a boot shop on every street corner in Nashville!   The first shop we visited had some beautiful, EXPENSIVE boots.  I don’t think I’d ever pay $700 for a pair of shoes!  We lucked out and found a shop that offered “Buy 1, Get 2 Free”… right up Dave’s alley.

And every cowboy/cowgirl should have a hat to go with the boots…

Easter in NC

We had a great Easter weekend!  Dave’s parents, brother and sister-in-law came into town to celebrate with us.  We had Easter dinner Saturday night and the kids hunted eggs on Sunday.

Hope y’all had a great Easter!

Spring Break–Nashville, TN–Wedding Dress Shopping

We are back from a great trip to Nashville, TN to see my baby sister, Katie.  She is getting married this time next year, so we decided that while we were there (my Mom was there, too) we’d go wedding dress shopping.  I have to toot my own horn here and tell you that I was the one that picked her wedding dress.  TOOT TOOT!  We walked into the bridal shop and I immediately saw the dress and told my Mom that it was THE ONE!    It was the third one she tried on and by far the most beautiful one.  Here’s a picture of her in the dress…

NO WAY!  I’m not going to be the one to give the dress away!  Trust me, it’s beautiful!  The dress was made for her… she’s stunning in it!

More trip details and pictures to come!

An Early Egg Hunt and Spring Break

The Kindergarten classes at Kyle’s school held their Easter Egg Hunt today.  It’s always fun to see the kids faces when they see just how many eggs are scattered on the lawn.  All of the eggs are numbered and each kid is assigned a number, which makes for a LOOOONNNNNGGG hunt!  By the end, the parents did all of the hunting. 

After the egg hunt, the classes had an ice cream party.

Spring Break is here and we’re off to Nashville, TN bright and early tomorrow morning!  Lots of wedding planning and fun things planned for the kids.  We are all looking forward to the down time!

Dudes in Brown Flip Flops

We all bought new Rainbow sandals this weekend.  Dave and Kyle look so cute in their matching pair…

Seeing them in their matching brown flip flops makes me think of the funny YouTube video “Arlington-The Rap”.

On another note, Dave and I used to live in Arlington, but in the real ghetto of Arlington, not the nice places that are shown in this video.  We always said if we didn’t have kids, we’d live in a condo above the Pottery Barn!
