We had a pretty good weekend, it just went by too fast! Friday night we went to Isabella's basketball game. It was their last one of the year and boy they played hard! They lost, but it wasn't because they didn't try! We went to Steak Escape and hung out with the Gibson's some more after her game. Stratton loves those girlies!!
I had intending on sleeping in on Saturday morning, so I took a pain pill when we got home Friday night. I was out of it!! But Jarrod got called out at about 5am, so my day didn't start as planned. Then as predicted the sun never came out, and the temperature stayed cool. So I had to rethink the "springy" outfits I had previously considered us wearing for the pictures. Which was a major bummer. Back to jeans and long sleeves. ugh. Jarrod got home just in time for us to get ready and get on the road. We were supposed to meet Daisha at Shelby Farms at 5pm. At ten till we were SITTING on the bridge still! Traffic was horrible and since they are doing so much work in that area it's down to one lane!! We got to Shelby Farms about 5:20ish and Daisha did a great job finding dry spots to take our pictures. It was so cold though!! Luckily I had stuffed Stratton's knit hat in my bag as we were running out the door! He needed it! We had him huddled up in a blanket with his hat on between shots. And the crazy geese tried to eat me! Seriously! I really dislike birds and I think the geese and ducks knew it, they were out to get me. Daisha, heroically ran them off! We were pretty much the only ones at the park and she was still taking pictures when we were "kindly" (haha, really rudely, actually) ask to leave by a cranky old man in a truck with a megaphone. Not kidding. Did I mention that we were the only ones there? I hardly think that was necessary! After we left there we ate at supper at Red Lobster before heading back to Jonesboro. Then mom and dad came and got Stratton, so we wouldn't have to take him to them Sunday afternoon.
After church we met with our friends forever group for lunch at El Acapulco and then while Jarrod washed the car, I went to bed and took a nap! We had tickets to see Jeff Dunham Sunday night with some friends at the Convo at 5pm. It was sooo funny. We had a great time! I was afraid that he wouldn't have any new material we hadn't heard since we watch him all the time, but he was full of new jokes and was hilarious!
I am feeling much better, I don't think I am back 100%, but I feel so much better than I was. Unfortunately, Jarrod hasn't been feeling as good. He is struggling with a kidney stone and there isn't much he can do besides drink lots of water and take pain killers (which isn't much help since he can't take those during the day while at work). It has been a little over a year since his last episode, and it has bothered him on and off a little over the last few months, so I hope he will get over this soon!
Here are a few pics from the weekend. . .
Kendyll & Allyson (Brandy's girls) and Stratton at the office on Friday. He is so attention deprived, can you tell?
Trying to avoid a pre-meal melt down, I put him in the toy basket. . . he LOVED it! I think I could have left him in there for awhile! I may have to move it into the kitchen! ha!
Saturday night after our long day. Can you tell Jarrod was worn out?? Stratton was sporting his cool pj's and funny matching hat.
