Going Hunting

Just something I had to post before I forget. I had to literally make my son cry to sleep the other night. (I'm sure us mommies have done this a few times before) My baby was so sleepy ya'll, but wouldn't go to sleep. I tried rocking him to sleep but he just wanted to get down and play, but he knows it's bedtime at the same time every night. I finally gave up about 3 times of trying to rock him then had to let him cry to sleep. I think the main thing I felt he was missing that night was his daddy not being there to tell him goodnight. W was hunting that night and came in late so H didn't get to see him. After a few cries and yawns he finally passed out, and I mean he passed out! Ha! Just look at my sleepy baby! Poor thing. Mommies sorry baby!I am super stoked for this weekend! The hubby and I are going on a hunting trip at that plantation I mentioned that we went to a while back. We're staying the night tomorrow night in a beautiful log cabin and hunting tomorrow evening and Saturday morning. I am just praying that we at least get to take some meat home. Ha! (Hunter my love, will be staying with his Nanny and Granddaddy that night, gives mommy and daddy some alone time!) Then of course It's Halloween on Saturday which I cannot wait to show you Hunter's costume as well as see all of your children's adorable costumes. His school/daycare is throwing a Halloween parade for the children tomorrow. They all have to wear there Halloween costumes and since Hunter's class is the young toddlers, they get to ride in the Bye Bye Buggy (like a stroller but bigger with 8 seats)! It's going to be great, I can't wait to take pictures and see his silly expression. Saturday night we'll be taking him to our friends neighbor hood to trick-or-treat so he can get mommy & daddy some candy! :)


It will also be November once Monday comes. Wow, where has the time gone?!? We have so many plans for this month! My husbands birthday is next Wednesday (4th), the fair is in town, the family is taking a mini vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN (cannot wait), my b-day is the 25th and so is my niece Melina's, then of course we can't forget some yummy turkey for Thanksgiving! It's definitely going to be a fun but busy month! Super Excited!

Enough rambling! Hope you ladies have a Fantastic weekend! Please keep your babies safe and have a Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend hubby and I took Hunter to the pumpkin patch right up the street from our house. He got to pick out his own pumpkin with some help from mommy & daddy. I think he enjoyed himself running around looking at all of them pumpkins.

While daddy carved the pumpkin, Hunter & I went to work in the yard raking up leaves.

Then of course we played in them.
Daddy carving the pumpkin with his unique skills.
Scary pumpkin, Daddy says he drew his mouth like Hunter's teeth. :)
Check out last years (click here) pumpkin and my sweet ham-hawk! :D Such a big difference!

14 Months

Better late than nothing. Hunter you turned 14 months on Saturday. My how you have changed and grown. Looking back, I kinda wish you were the sweet little quite, sleepy, never did anything wrong, new born baby that you once were. What happened to the time, Mommy doesn't have a clue. Instead you have became a grown toddler boy. You get into everything, always on the move no matter what, crunches your little nose up and smiles the biggest smile or dash those handsome baby blues at me, you can say a few words now as in "what, that, huh, bye" you've learned how to open the toilet seat and throw things in it and you've become a pro at flushing it, tall enough to reach the door knobs (haven't turned it yet), sips through a straw, have moved into a size 5 diaper and shoe and you are in size 18-24mnth clothes, gives mommy and daddy loving by kisses or laying your head on us, waves bye bye really good now, when you are waiting on your food sitting in your highchair, you will tap your tiny fingers as if you were trying to wait patiently, It's so cute. You have had two hair cuts this year. You can sure throw some tantrums when you want to!!! You throw just about anything in your hand, but you have learned to hand things to me rather than throwing, you are nothing but a country boy and mommy can see it, you are a mean wrestler, gives your mommy & daddy a head bud that really hurts. You have just about hit your head in every witch way as possible. Even though you drive me up the wall at times, and frustrate the tar out of me, under all that sweet and sometimes mean baby boy, you light up our lives. You are the one who have made our lives complete, I wouldn't know what I would do without you. I love you baby boy!

I'm Back

from a long break from blogging it seems. I have had a lot of catching up to do as far as my work and a lot of blog reading. Phew, glad that's out the way

As you know my poor baby had been sick for 3 weeks straight. I stayed out of work last Thursday to keep him home with mommy so he could have a full recovery from his strep throat and any other sickness that's been going around. He missed the whole week of daycare, so we got to spend lots of time together, which was amazing!!! I felt as if my little man had grown closer to mommy within those few days. We played a good bit together, when I asked if he loved mommy, he would put his sweet baby face on me and smile, he is the most precious gift God could have ever given me! ♥

Check out what his shirt says "mummy says I'm sweeter" Too cute!

Friday I spent the day with my granny back at my home town in Cross. We went to Sweatman's BBQ for lunch, which was absolutely delicious (I missed that place so much), and we went into town to look around at Wally World in MC. That was the 1st time I had went into that particular walmart in a long time, you see, I used to work there for over a year, and had a great time growing up with friends working there. Good times.

.

That night the family went out to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner, ~fat butt~ :) I got a scare that night, I was cutting up Hunter's fruit (grapes) for him to eat, when he accidentally grabbed a whole one before I could cut it up, and he chocked on it. Scared me to death, luckily he caught his breath within a few seconds and must have swallowed it. Poor babe was scared as well, he started crying.

.

We didn't do much on Saturday but lounged around and played in clothes hampers most of the day.

My husband, niece and I were suppose to go to a Halloween Haunted house Extravaganza with some friends of ours, but they canceled due to my friends husband. So we went to a movie instead and saw this

Couples Retreat. This was a great movie, not appropriate for a 13 year old, sorry Miranda, but for married couples. Vince is hilarious! Before the movie I finally got a good pic of my husband and I! He hates taking pictures so It's very rare I can get a good one, I guess that's most men for ya. :)

My son is back in daycare this week, and so far I haven't gotten a phone call that he's been sick. Crossing my fingers he can make it threw one more day of daycare.

Overwhelmed

It's been a little crazy in my world it seems these past few weeks. My son is getting sick every week or has been for the past 3 weeks. First he had the swine flu, then he had bad diapers cause of teething, now he has strep throat. It seems as if my poor baby and me can't ever catch a break. This is one thing I dislike about day cares, there sick 24/7! I wish soo bad I could be a stay-at-home-mom to my baby. Why can't it be like the old days when women stayed home to cook and clean and take care of there babies and the husbands work. Ugh, this is so frustrating. I have missed so much work because of this, (which my son comes 1st no matter what), but dang, I feel like I'll never get a week in without missing a day. I kinda feel bad. Oh well, he is at home with his granddaddy today until his fever and throat heals. Praying that he is okay with him today and gets better soon!

Now, back to reality. Over the weekend I went gator hunting with the guys on Friday night (yes this will be the last time you here about gator hunting for a while), we saw a bunch of gators, but nothing worth killing. We did catch a 5 footer, but let it go. It was so amazingly exciting catching that gator. We ended up crawling in bed a 3 a.m, not a fan of that at all!!!
Didn't do too much this past weekend but relaxed most of the time, it was one of those lazy weekends. Hunter helped out in the yard a good bit this weekend. He has his own little rake, he was helping daddy put down some dirt for the yard where our new shed will be at.
Here's a few photo's of him helping out! Such a big boy!





Dirty Butt :)







My son cracks me up. He has learned to talk a lot more than usual lately, and every time you ask him something or tell him something, he responds to "huh"! It is so funny, but goodness does he talk your ear off. haha Just thought I'd share that. :)
