Illinois Trip April 2012

We had a wonderful trip home to Illinois this past weekend to enjoy my family!! The weather was about 30 degrees cooler than here in FL, so that put a damper on things a bit....but it was still a great trip. Both boys did very well on the plane....looks like Landon is going to be a great passenger like his big brother :) 

We stayed at my dad's the whole weekend and went back and forth between my grandparents house and his house. We also spent time with most of the Blakeman clan which was awesome!!
Below are some pictures of the trip and all the family we spent time with!


My great grandmother Kight just couldn't hardly wait to meet Landon.......5 generations apart :) So happy they finally met!!! 

 Great Great Grandma Kight with the boys!

Saturday we went over to my Aunt Dottie's house and she had all of her kids and grandkids come over to play.....it was so nice to spend time with all my cousins!!! Jet loved playing with Brandt, Brady and Braxton and we loved meeting baby Westin!!!! 

 Aunt Shirley made home-made ice cream which was yummy!!!

My cousin Robin & Greg came over with their boys Brock, Brayden, & Brody.....Jet loved playing with them for a while!!! The next few days all Jet would talk about is "can we go play with "the boys" " :) My Uncle Rick & Aunt Barb came over too and we had a good time catching up. 

Brock is not only hilarious...he is great with kids!! 

 my boys with the Pettit boys!

Sunday we spent the day at my Nana & Papa's house. We had a big spread for lunch and just enjoyed spending quality time together. My uncle Rob and Aunt Tami drove 4 hours to spend the day with us along with Rick, Amy & the kids and Jene, Quentin & the kids. It was so nice to have everyone together!!

One thing I truly love about my family is how active they are! After lunch, the boys went outside (in the cold) and started up a basketball game. After a while, Clint decided he would join them!! It was HILARIOUS....he did good though! check out some action shots! :)

Later on that evening Uncle Terry and Aunt Karen came by for a visit at dad's house.....loved seeing them too!!!

Date night with Jet

This past Saturday night Jet took me on a date to Chick-fil-A :) They were having a special "Mother-Son Date Knight" and we made reservations for 7:30! I didn't really know what to expect because it was my first event at the Chick, but it was so neat! When we arrived they had the front part of the restaurant closed off and it was all decorated for the theme "Medieval Times" They had a Knight seating us :) the tables even had table cloths and candle-light...hehe it was cute!! They waited on us and took pictures and the Cow & Knight walked around for pictures too. It was sweet. They treated us to a free dessert at the end, Jet won a raffle prize and a goodie bag! Needless to say, another reason why I LOVE Chick-fil-A!!!!

Below are some pictures we took before we left on our date. Since were dressed up and (matching of course) I wanted a few pics of me and my boy...and Landon got in on the fun too! 







I did take a few pictures at Chick with my phone but they are a little blurry......




Such a fun time!!
