Goodness, time has gotten the best of me. I am so behind on updating the blog that I have over a months worth of events to document. Back in November Clint had a meeting in Montgomery on 11/4 so we decided to make the best of it and planned a trip to Montgomery. Our 6 yrs wedding anniversary was on November 4th. Clint had a great idea to drive to Mgm on Thursday 11/3 and spend the night with my parents and then get a room at the Renaissance in Montgomery on the 4th and my parents would keep the kiddos. It worked out perfect because my mom’s birthday is also on November 5th. Sarah, Haines and I went to her office Friday morning and then took her to a birthday lunch she was having with a bunch of her friends. Afterwards we headed home so I could get ready to go to the hotel downtown. I still have lots of connections through my previous job so we were lucky in getting a great rate and also the Presidential suite!
I did have a bit of a hard time completely relaxing because I was still pumping and it was my first night away from Miss Sarah. I missed her so much! Clint and I had a great time relaxing at the bar/lounge and then had an excellent dinner at the House Restaurant at the hotel. After dinner we took a horse drawn carriage ride through downtown which was lots of fun. We did not even know this was available downtown, how cool! Mike Eveleth, the GM, had chocolate covered strawberries and champagne sent to our room. We had a blast soaking in the fabulous view!
The next day we ordered a delicious breakfast through room service. I was anxious to get back to my babies, even though we had not been gone very long. When we got back, Dad and Clint went to a gun show and Sarah, Haines, Mom and I headed to the Pike Road Art Show. Actually before we left I had to feed Sarah so Mom entertained Haines and took him to the fire station on Ray Thorington Rd. They took the Firemen cookies and they gave Haines special treatment. He got to sit in several different trucks and even took pictures with the Firemen. What a cool grandmother to take him to do such fun stuff!
When they returned that is when we left for the Art Show. Haines had a blast in the Kids Corral because they had a real cowboy doing tricks with his lasso. Haines got a real cowboy hat and got to paint and made a crown among other crafts. Sweet Sarah slept through the entire thing. The weather could not have been better, it was BEAUTIFUL. We took him to the playground afterwards and to feed the ducks.
Mom did a cute Thanksgiving craft with Haines. They made a turkey out of an apple and the feathers were sweet gum drops. Sarah just sat in her car seat at the table and listened and watched, she will be crafting with them before we know it! The turkey turned out really cute! Of course Haines had to sample the candy the entire time.
Mom was feeding Sarah later that evening and Haines put his crown on Sarah and said “Sarah is a Princess”. It was the cutest thing ever! I have never heard him use that word before, he is coming up with multiple new words daily!
That night we had a birthday party for Mom and Dad cooked steaks and I made twice baked potatoes. We enjoyed some delicious food and cake while watching football. What a great way to celebrate Mom’s birthday and our anniversary. We had a tuckered out cowboy on the way back to B-ham the next day. Two days without a nap and so many fun activities wore him out!
