1. Johnnys birthday and party were a success, like I said in a previous post we took him to the fair which is great for people watching and fun. I know the boy is fearless but for some reason it always surprises me. He rode everything he could have ridden and was wanting to go on the grown up rides. (he is nuts) It hasn't rained in GA for months but of course the day of his outdoor party the sky was blac
k. Luckily the park has a large covered pavilion so I just set up under that. The kids all arrived and got their tats and swards and I saw them instantly transform to pirates. They ran around beating each other for 30 min when it was pinata time, which was filled with pirate eye patches, pirate silly bandz and yes some candy. They all really had fun whacking that bad pirate head. Then the reason Johnny had to have a pirate party, the freaking cake (that only came in a large size). It was pretty cool. All in all he had a great birthday and was so happy John was a part of it. 
2. The wedding we went to was for our good friends Tricia and Matt, and it was beautiful! John and I were both in the wedding party and Johnny was the ring bearer. He is getting pretty good at this, maybe I can start renting him out. LOL They got married in the most beautiful catholic cathedral in Atl, which meant it was a full mass which to me meant Johnny had to be still. Thank GOD for Gigi, after Johnny walked down the isle he went and sat with her. She kept him quiet with mellow cream pumpkins. So what if his mouth was or
ange, and he was all hyped up on sugar he was quiet! Johnny burned all the energy off on the dance floor, he was John and my entertainment. Yall know he has got some moves!3. After being pulled in every direction I was ready for some quiet time so we headed to Gatlinberg and Pigeon Forge TN. We got a beautiful cabin overlooking the mountains and the drive was bre
athtaking. The first night we were there we went to the Dixie Stamped
e which is Dolly's dinner and a show. The food was amazing and the show was really good. There was an arena filled with a thousand people and part of the act was selecting 4 children to go in the arena and chase chickens. Of course Johnny got picked. (He is always going to feel the world revolves around him) He got pretty intimidated once he got down there but he stayed and got an autographed book from Dolly Parten. Yee Haw.

The next day we did the aquarium and a museum that was upside down called wonderworks (where yes, Johnny climbed to the top of a rock wall!). It was a lot of fun and good family time.
In between all of this John got to see Karate two times, gymnastics, an Astros game have a couple home cooked meals, celebrate his birthday, did a lot of yardwork (and purchased a new mower), got a pumpkin, did family pictures and got to see some friends. It was so wonderful being back together as a family which really made it hard to se
e him go again, especially knowing everything he is going to
miss with the holidays coming up. Plus this time Johnny understands he is leaving for a while I just hope this makes him realize John will be back. And this time the wait is a bit shorter, I added a new ticker to the blog he will return in Jan. So we have to get back into the routine, hopefully Johnny will behave and I am going to put a lot of effort into finding John a job so come Janurary he can stay!
