Bahama Mama

last weekend, Jack and I went to the bahamas for his second annual work trip. i have to say, i had more fun this year than last and i was sober! the weather was wonderful, the company was perfect and jack and i had some good one on one time (that we didn't have last year) that we have really needed with all that we have had going on. when you are married, you have to keep falling in love over and over...with the same person. i did that this weekend and it was wonderful ;-)

i don't have many pics at all from the trip, but here are a few!

friday night there was a cocktail and you were on your own for dinner. we chose to do a date dinner and it was so wonderful!! time alone never happens it feels like!

 the amount of fifty shades conversations throughout the weekend was hysterical. all the women talked about the books and i found two of jack's co-workers wives out by the pool saturday engrossed in them...couldn't help but capture this moment!! LOVE these books by the way. i have been so bored since i finished!

 sunday we went to the cove (we were staying at the atlantis) and had brunch and i laid out on the beach for a few hours before we met up with everyone at a cabana. i didn't see the water last year, so this was a treat. it was so peaceful and i cherished every minute of peace and quiet since i don't get many of those at home ;)

 and here is the day we got home! i am 31 weeks today. it was really tough traveling on two flights each way...wyatt was great - i just prayed every night that my water wouldn't break there! all i could think about was the only person i have heard giving birth in the bahamas was anna nicole smith! the days were long and i grew tired. 3 nights was just perfect and i am glad to be home!

MEANWHILE....the little man was staying at his cousins house in fayetteville...AKA disney world to him ;-)

he had the BEST time. this was him on the way thursday pulling into their neighborhood

 we then went to the pool, let them swim and eat (lawton was such a daredevil! he loved it! so glad we are getting swim lessons in a few weeks because i had to save him from drowning a few times ;)) with the kids and as you can see, he was pretty comfortable there.

 that night and every night thereafter i am sure, emmie read to him. emmie went to camp sunday for a week, so she slept with him one night and will the next. he was in heaven!!

 while emmie was gone, there was a LOT of boy time. will was so nice to share all his toys with lawton who DOES NOT share well with others. mandy asked me if she could teach him anything over the weekend and i said "potty train??" pretty pretty please?? hahaha!

 instead, she taught him how to drink milk out of his cereal bowl ;))

 thank you mandy, dale, emily and will for letting lawton stay with you! like last year, he had the best time. this morning on the way to school, he said "i go play golf! no skool!!"....poor bud. pool, golf, tennis, etc etc with the cousins and good ole school with mom. he was pissed. cried all the way into his classroom...

oh, and let's not forget the bullet holes in our window.

we walked in yesterday and i saw tiny shards of shattered glass everywhere in the dining room. i looked up to see if a light bulb burst on the chandelier and saw the 8 BB holes in our dining room window. EIGHT! also 2 in the wood and one in the gutter outside and we found 3 BB's in the house.

talk about scary. we are in the living room all.the.time.

found out it was our next door neighbor and his friends "goofing off" friday night while grilling out. he said he had no clue that they came this far because they were shooting at some cans another place. i showed him my son and my belly and told him he really could have hurt someone. i wanted to knock his teeth out. i asked him if the cans he was shooting at were on our porch?? did he know we were out of town? was your target practice our window? dumbass. at least he owned up to it and is going to pay for it.

some people are so clueless. it's little things like that that you NEVER think about. thank goodness he is moving out in 2 weeks.

all in all a wonderful weekend but happy to be back on schedule!

update on wyatt: went to dr today, measuring right on time. he is all up in my ribs and they feel bruised. awesome times but worth everything!
