Home Improvements

We've gone a little home improvement crazy. We had hardwood floors put in our livingroom and dining room... which Jackson has loved scooting across. We also painted the whole downstairs!


After watching quite a bit of HGTV, Ben was inspired to paint a chalkboard on our kitchen wall. We bought chalkboard paint, then Ben cut and painted molding. He also put this molding in our dining room as a beautiful chair rail.

Labor Day "Staycation"


September 1, 2008-- Labor Day Weekend "Staycation"
Jackson will be 9 months old this week!
We decided not to travel this Labor Day weekend... instead we had what Ben dubbed a "staycation" and we toured some of the hot spots in and around Nashville that we haven't seen yet. We had a wonderful time! Jackson is going to be 9 months old this week and his funny and quirky personality is coming out more everyday.

Our first visit to the Opryland Hotel


September 1, 2009
Ben, Jackson and I enjoyed the last day of our "staycation" at the Opryland Hotel... which is located about 15 minutes from downtown. We really felt like we were on vacation! It was a fun day and a great way to get out of the sweltering heat.

Our Staycation at Sunset Family Restaurant


Jackson enjoyed his first taste of coconut cream pie at the Sunset Family Restaurant in
Lebanon, TN. This was a quintessential Tennessee "meat and three" restaurant and a great addition to our little "staycation."

More fun at Opryland


Being the tourists that we are, we had to take some family photos at Opryland.

Our quirky nugget


What is Jackson doing here? Playing with his favorite toy! It doesn't matter how many toys we buy Jack... he's fallen in love with a rubber spatula. Here Ben decided to get him a new red and black spatula, so we could start using ours for cooking again. Ben put it perfectly tonight when he said, "At 9 months, Jackson is already quirky."

Bath Time


Saturday, August 31, 2008
Jackson loves taking baths... especially in the kitchen sink! Of course, if we give Jack a bath in the sink, that means we have
to do the dishes first.
