Kathryn's 1st Big Girl Concert: Taylor Swift!!!

Very last minute, Kathryn and I were given tickets to see Taylor Swift in concert in Nashville this past Friday night.  I was so excited, and I knew I couldn't pass up this opportunity.  I didn't tell Kathryn until right before we left to go to Nashville.  After I told her, she started jumping up and down and squealing.  We had the best time!  We met up with Fran and Chloe Jenkins, Haven, and Casey and Chandler Jenkins for dinner.  Then we met up with Kailey for the show.  The show was AMAZING!!!  And, Kathryn loved every second of it.  Since she is used to going to bed each night at 8, she did fall asleep towards the end of the concert.  But, I woke her up for the last song (which is her fav) Shake It Off.  We had a blast!  I am so happy that we got to share this moment together.  I know this is a memory she will never forget.  And, a very special THANK YOU to my dear friend Kailey for inviting us to the concert!!!

Weekend Wrap Up: Athens, Georgia Style

This past weekend, Kyle and I took our annual Athens weekend trip.  We left Friday morning and came back Sunday.  We spent the weekend with my sister Kristin, and we all had a blast!  Friday night was spent watching FSU play and bowling.  Saturday was a full day of tailgating and then going to the GA versus South Carolina game.  We always have the best time when with my sister and brother in law.  We are so blessed that we all get along so well.  I know that all families aren't like this so I know how lucky we are.  Thank you Kristin and Sean for an awesome weekend.  And, THANK YOU Mimi and Papa for watching the kids so we could go.

Kaden moves to a big boy bed!

This past weekend, we finally made the switch...Kaden is officially in his big boy bed!  He was so excited for the change.  The first night (Friday, September 11th) Kathryn slept with him.  The second night, they both slept in Kathryn's bed.  The third night, they slept in their own beds, and Kaden did great!  I really don't mind if they sleep together, but Kathryn does not sleep as well when she sleeps with him, so during the week, she will have to sleep in her own bed.  The fourth night was another successful one of them in their own beds.  Last night, Kaden went down GREAT!  The first few nights he wanted to get up several times before falling asleep.  However, last night around midnight, he started crying.  I went to check on him and found him in the floor (he had rolled out of bed).  I didn't think he would roll off because he is in a queen size bed, but he did.  This morning Kyle asked him if he remembered falling out of bed, and Kaden with the most innocent and sincere look replied, "What?"...he obviously didn't remember, which is good.  Kyle and I were dying laughing.  Here's to hoping his big boy success continues!

 

Always playing catch up...
