Nashville!

 We went to Nashville a couple of weekends ago to see one of Stephen's work partners, who was in town for a concert with his family.  Our families had never had a chance to meet each other (they live in St. Louis), so we took advantage of their trip to see them!

It was fun- we didn't get up until late Saturday night due to Parker's playoff basketball game.  We met them for dinner as we drove in, which was fun.  They have two girls, 6th and 8th grade, and ours are 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades.  We spent the night with my brother for the weekend, and we didn't get to bed until 2 AM our time Saturday night, catching up with my brother, his wife, and nieces!

Sunday, we hung out at my brother's house until about lunch time.  Stephen, the girls and I went to a cool lunch spot together.  We went to the Opryland Hotel to do a tour with the business buddies.  (Parker tagged along with his cousin, Ava, to go to a trampoline park).  That night, we went to their rental house to watch the Super Bowl!  We left Monday morning to head back home.

It was a fun whirlwind of a weekend, but it was fun, and we did get a day off of work/school that Monday. :) 

Parker konked out after his big game!

Ava!

Superbowl- doing the squares


For some reason, they all wanted to arm wrestle each other. ;)




My brother's house gets the coolest animal visitors.  These were some massive turkets.

Buc-ees!

January!

January went by in a flash!  Keeping up with basketball (Taylor and Parker), volleyball (Sydney), work, and kids' social lives seemed to dominate our month.  Here are some of our memories!

Parker's team won the holiday basketball tournament!






Parker and his "girlfriend" Emory... they both won for 3rd grade!

Covid hit our household!  First Parker, then me and Taylor:
