A few weeks ago we took a long overdue trip to Nashville to visit my bro and had a blast!! I got to spend the weekend with my four favorite males. We got there late Friday night due to the traffic right after the tornadoes. We sat for a long time on 75 with onlookers and the pictures above are an example of what they were looking at.Even from the highway, the devestation was horrible. So we arrived at my brother's house about midnight and got the boys in bed and stayed up until about 2 with P. Well the boys woke up at their usual 6 am which was pretty crazy for my bachelor bro. In fact, he lives in a duplex and said his neighbor was probably shocked since she never hears him before 11 on Saturdays and certainly doesn't hear two kiddos running around. That morning, we headed to see an incredible model train exhibit Patick had found outside at the Botanical Gardens. It was amazing and these are just a few of the pictures I took. We all loved it and Ashton was of course in his glory! He would have spent hours there I think, but I have to admit, it was really cool. Everything except the trains was made of some sort of plant or bark. The bridges and waterfalls were beautiful and there were fanous TN landmarks throughout all made of plants. By the way, my husband and brother were quite impressed that I knew what the "G" stood for in the name of the exhibit. Neither one of them knew! I have learned a lot about trains lately. I often wonder what it is Collin will be obsessed about but as my brother says, trains are definitely Ashton's beloved mode of transportation.

Ashton loves his uncle P mo.
I love this of Wes and P looking (or not looking) at Thomas. Who doesn't love the number one blue engine?!

After the trains, we met up with our cousin Heather and Matt and Maddie who were also in Nashville visiting Matt's sister.
Here is A on Sunday before church eating "bachelor style." He had asked me if Patrick had a chair for him and I told him we would be eating on the floor and having picnics since PAtrick doesn't have a kitchen table. He had looked concerned but adjusted to the idea once we got there!
Pack N Play meets Drumset.
Had to sneak this photo of Collin sleeping in. He's getting so big!!
Ashton had fun playing the drums. Both boys slept right beside it and we caught Ashton spinning a cymbal during naptime!
We love you Uncle P! Thanks for a fun fun weekend!!!
Boys on the way home. Cracks me up
