Weekend Update

We had quite a busy weekend here at the Phillips household. Friday night we went and got takeout and after the kids went to bed we watched "Nights in Rodanthe". I felt a need for a good chick-flick and this did not satisfy. I had read the book and this movie didn't hold a candle to the book. I don't recommend it. It was extremely unrealistic. I know it's a movie, so it's not real anyways, but this just didn't do it for me. Dennis thoroughly enjoyed it as well. ha ha
Saturday, we got up and cooked breakfast and then me and Sawyer went and did some shopping together. He was a little trooper. When we got back, Sawyer and Dennis headed to the Turkey Expo at Opryland Hotel while Sadie took her nap. Dennis was meeting his 2 cousins, Brent and Bryan, along with their little boys. He had a ball. Sawyer did awesome. I was a little skeptical about sending Sawyer with Dennis alone, only because he is going through a phase where he is absolutely attached to my hip, but Dennis said he was perfect. Thank goodness! Here's a picture of them before they left.

I figured this would become a tradition, so I wanted to get their picture, and hopefully, I will get them annually as the years go by. I know Dennis is ecstatic to have his little hunting buddy. Here are a few of them at the show. The cute couple in the picture are our heroes. They have their own hunting shows that we watch all of the time. They are so precious and we would love to have their job! They get to travel around together and hunt and they look like they have so much fun!


Saturday night, we all went over to Billy and Judy Messer's house for dinner. We are all old friends and my dad was spending the weekend over there while he was in town, so we, along with Shelly, Ryan, and Greyson went over there for dinner. My dad cooked a feast and it was absolutely delicious! We had a great time reminiscing of old times and old trips that we took together growing up, etc. It was so much fun. Here are a few pics from the night. The middle one is of Sadie and Greyson after they got their suckers after dinner. They took them and went into the sunroom and each got into their own chair, as if they were about to engage in some intellectual conversation together. I just thought it was hilarious that they went and did that on their own so I had to get their picture.



Sunday we got up and went to church and then came home and did nothing all day. We took a family trip to the grocery store, got some pizza and came home Sunday night.
On another note, Sawyer said his first word yesterday! "Bye Bye" He has not stopped saying it all weekend. It's so precious!!!!!
