Weekend Update 1/16-1/19

We had a lot going on this weekend so I'll just recap in one post.

1/16 - Friday John and I headed to Atlanta for a training seminar for my jewelry business. The boys were excited to stay with Maw maw and Poppy (John's parents) and I was excited to see the new line of jewelry! We got to ATL around 11:00, checked in and browsed all of the displays and information. There were lots of drawing and such during the trainings to keep it fun and I was recognized during the day for my accomplishments as a new jeweler along with other new jewelers.
As we walked across our names were displayed.

Sample of the new jewelry! It's awesome!

We called to check on the boys a few times but they were way to busy having fun to talk to either of us. After a long day of training, John and I headed to our hotel, ordered room service and relaxed!

1/17 - Saturday was day 2 of training so we were up bright and early to have breakfast and head to the convention center. Once again there were drawings, testimonies, and trainings through out the day. Again I was recognized but this time it was for grossing over $3,000 in a 30-day period (Premier calls this the Amethyst crown).

The day ended around 4 p.m. and we headed back to Easley to get the boys. They were happy to see us but not as excited as Mawmaw and Poppy. They had been worked over.

1/18 - Sunday was a very lazy day. John and I were worn out, the boys weren't. Throughout the day forts were built, pillow trampolines were constructed, and a nap was hard to come by. The most exciting part was that Bryson was in big boy undies all day long (even nap time) and only had 2 accidents (both pee-pee not poop accidents YAY!!) After nap time, I decided to go to Greenwood to let the boys see Grammie and Papa (my parents) and Granddaddy and Ems (my grandparents). We got to Greenwood a little after 6, and the boys were so excited! This is when accident #2 happened for Bryson so he must have been VERY excited! We just hung out Sunday night and visited. We missed John though. He had to work Monday so he couldn't come. I'm sure you know that he was just miserable at home with no noise, and the TV all to himself. :)

1/19 - Monday we got up and dressed to go out to the lake to visit Granddaddy and Ems for lunch. The boys wanted to be outside the whole day but it was too cold. Bryson kept asking for Granddaddy to put the boat in the water and John Thomas wanted his bathing suit. (It was about 39 degrees). We had a great lunch as always and then just visited while the boys played.

Bryson fell asleep, so we left later than I wanted to.


We got back to Simpsonville around 7:30 and everyone was happy to be home. I hadn't seen Easy and her babies since Thursday so I went in to snap a few pics to show their progress. Wow they are getting big and sooo cute!

Easy brought up some of her food for them (notice the dried carrot) and they suck on it. It's pretty cute.
