John's birthday, August 20th. He's 29!!!!!

Xavier said that Daddy needed to have a birthday party. John told him he would want a transformers party. Xavier wasn't thrilled with this idea and said he needed to have a pirate party or else he wasn't coming. We of course just laughed. But in reality, Xavier and I planned a little surprise party, yesterday. For presents, we got him some transformers. It was cute to see John share a favorite toy from his childhood with Xavier. Although Xavier was more interested in them being cars than the actual robots.

Our new school

I now work at a school in Smyrna, GA. Xavier is also going there. He is in Ms. Kenya's class. They have to wear blue or white shirts. He looks cute in his semi-uniform. He gets to bring a lunch now and he really likes shopping for lunch items.

Playground of Dreams

Some people from our new church told us where there was a cool park for kids. It just happens to be right down the road from our new house. It's called the playground of dreams and it really is way cool. We have only been once because the weather has been incredibly hot. As soon as it cools down a little we will go back to play.

Playing in his new playroom

So, on July 25th we finally got the keys to our new house. Unfortunately, it was not cleaned and some other things. Therefore we had to stay with some members of our new church for a few days. I don't have the house completely the way I want it, but I did get Xavier's playroom set up for the most part. He was so happy to finally have the train table put together.

Cathedral Caverns, Alabama July 24th

We went to the Cathedral Caverns in Alabama. They are on the east side of Huntsville. I love caving and use to do it when I was younger. I loved sharing this with Xavier. he had such a great time and had the tour guide and other guests cracking up laughing.

Nashville, TN July 23rd

We stopped in Nashville for a quick look around. I have always wanted to go there. My main desire was t see the Grand Ole Opry. I am a huge country fan. :)
We stopped off at the Opryland Hotel and looked around. It was awesome and I told John he needs to take me there when we go to Nashville on vacation. Afterwards, we headed over to the actual Opry house. The museum was closed, so we just looked around outside before getting some dinner and getting back on the road to Alabama

Louisville, Kentucky July 23rd

Showing me where Georgia is on the map



I took Xavier to the zoo in Louisville, KY on our third day across the country. They have a water park inside the zoo. We had such a great time. Xavier never wanted to leave the water park. It was a shame when we had to leave. This makes the fifth zoo he's been to. He loves zoos.

Abilene, Kansas July 21st

On our trek across the country, we stopped in Abilene, KS to see the Eisenhower homestead and library. Xavier pretty much just enjoyed the chance to get out of the car and run around.

The day we left Colorado, July 21st, 2007

What more can I say????? I cried when I crossed the state line.

Mommy's last night out with the girls!!!!

I had one last night with some of my good friends from Colorado. We had a great time at Red Robin and even closed the place down. I guess we just didn't want to say goodbye. I know I didn't. I even cried on my way back to the apartment. Love you guys!!!! I'll be back in the summer.
