A CHRISTmas to Rememeber

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Despite the fact we thought we weren't going to afford to get much this year it turned out perfect. We woke up Christmas morning and headed to the living room where the Christmas tree was full of presents. I got to open the first gift (which I had no clue to why my husband was rushing me to open it) but to my surprise my wonderful husband bought be a Kodak-Playsports cam recorder. I've been wanting one ever since Hunter was born & basically been borrowing peoples recorders. I was so shocked that I got this. It's the camouflage one and it comes w/ a tripod & a remote control, water proof etc... It's really for filming your hunts but I will use it for both. :) I got a lot of other pink camouflage gifts...a purse, blanket, makeup bag, browning steering wheel cover, etc.. husband figured he better spend a good bit on me for Christmas bc he's getting his deer mount (big 9pt buck) come January which will cost a fortune. I'd say he was sucking up. Ha. Anyways, Hunter received so many gifts. My mom sent him a few things, a big dump truck, clothes, Elmo slippers (which he loves). I think he was pretty spoiled this year. I'm not even going name off what all he got because it's way too much. The most important gift we did get him though was his new four wheeler. That was the last gift he got and was in LOVE! I have it on video with his reaction but not sure how to post videos just yet. He looks so cute though riding it behind daddy's four wheeler. He has this huge smile on his face when he rides it. :) After opening presents we ate breakfast & played with all our goodies Santa brought us. Later that day we went to Wayne's Papa's house for dinner. The next day, we spent the evening at my Granny's house opening gifts & ate dinner over their. Overall we had a GREAT Christmas. It sure came and went fast though, can't believe this is my babies 3rd Christmas. So hard to believe. Hope you enjoy the pictures I took over Christmas break, not very clear or many to look at. Enjoy.

Birthday Fun

Back in November (back to my B-day) I had won tickets (nothing new..ha) to see The Band Perry, Chris Young, and Alan Jackson in concert. An early birthday gift from me to me. We had an amazing time & I actually convinced my husband to go even though he's not big on concerts, he LOVES Alan Jackson, I mean who doesn't. Can't you see how thrilled he was to be their??. Ha men! Us girls had a blast though and the concert was AWESOME!!!

Back to my Birthday which took place on Thanksgiving day. Melina; my niece & I celebrated our Birthdays that Thanksgiving night. We both got the same cake, my fav. color pink hers purple. We got lots of great gifts & I enjoyed spending my Birthday with my little monkey Melina. :)

Thanksgiving/Birthday Weekend..... Yikes, can you say L-A-T-E!!!

Yep you read right... Thanksgiving weekend. Ha. I am so behind It's not even funny, so this week I'll be playing catch up from the passed two months. Bare with me. :)

Thanksgiving break was shared with wonderful family over at my Granny's house. It was hot as ever that day, unbelievable this South Carolina weather.

After we ate dinner at my Granny's house we went home to eat another Thanksgiving meal with Wayne's parents & family. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving considering it was also my 24th Birthday. :) Yep my Birthday was on Turkey day this year and boy did I have a GREAT day of yummy food's. It was mine & my nieces birthday. We celebrated that night with a very cute cake made for both of us & lots of great gifts. My husband surprised me with a Kohl's gift card & a nice jacket. I love him even though he can be a pain sometimes. Ha. I got lots of other things too but can't quite remember. Pictures to come of me & Melina's birthday night.

Over all we had a great Thanksgiving. Come back soon for more on the Lawhon family. Can't wait to catch up with everyone. I'm so thrilled too that I figured out I can post through email. EXCITING!!! :)

Joys of having a toddler....

Hey all. Their has been quite a few things I'm behind on w/ my little man. As always. ;) These past two weeks have been pretty interesting to say the least. Hunter has discovered he can take off his diaper, what that means is he's becoming a big boy so he thinks. Last Monday night I tucked toota bugs in for bed & told him to let me know if he had to potty no matter what time it was, so I leave out room & come back in to check on him one last time. Well to my discovery he's standing in his crib butt naked, socks, pants & diaper all off.. Luckily I checked on him just in time because he had to potty, trust me, I could tell. Ha! I was in such shock to see him like this that I kinda screamed & said "Hunter, what are you doing?" I felt so bad bc afterwards he was scared to death & wanted me to hold him. I will never forget his facial expression. I said I was sorry for scaring my poor babe & we went to potty & I had a firm talk to him to not take that diaper off again. It was a little funny to see him like this too. Wish I had a camera right then & their. Ha!

Well from that night on he's taken his diaper off each time. Saturday I left him w/ his Nanny for a few hours while I went hunting. She called me & said he left her with a wonderful surprise in his crib, poo was smeared everywhere, all over him, his hands, the crib... I about died laughing bc he did it to her & not me... Yet! ;) I guess he's just experiencing new things & starting to be well potty trained & he doesn't like the feel of his diaper being on when he poops or pees. The joys of raising a toddler are such wonderful blessings & full of surprises. haha

Hunter has been learning so many wonderful new things lately.... I'm enjoying every moment of it!! He is such the sweetest baby boy, he'll say "Bless you" if u sneeze, "thank you", "yes ma'am, yes sir", ur welcome", "I love u" and so much more. He makes momma & daddy so proud! I was on my way taking him to school this morning & he saw the moon, I asked who made the moon" & surprisingly he said "God". He's so sweet.

I am loving this stage he's in! It's been such an interesting age to learn about that's for sure. :)

This week is Thanksgiving week & I cannot believe it!!! This year 'literally' flew by! I CAN't believe i'll be 24 on Thanksgiving day either... yes my birthday will fall on Turkey day.... good eatin right their now. haha I really thought I was turning 23 a few months ago then hoI forgot my age. Crazy! We'll be having a very busy week a head of us, work 2 days off for 5, yay!,... Hunting, B-day's (mine & my niece), Thanksgiving day with both family's, Black Friday ( kinda scared & excited, our first ever attending) ha, then more hunting. It's going to be fun! Just thought I'd catch up on a few things. Pictures to come soon. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!!!

Fun Fall Weather

This past weekend me & toota-bugs spent lots of one on one time together. We played trucks all day Saturday & took a break from hunting. We ate yummy Halloween candy & played ball outside, we also racked the leaves in the yard & jumped in them. :) I love my bug!!!
Ps: It's been in the low 30's here in S.C this past weekend = INSANE!!! hA!
Lately Hunter has been doing very well at listening & potty training!!!
Saturday he peed for momma twice in the potty & he pottied @ church for me on the "adult" potty!!! I was so proud of my little man. Praying this is a success & he will continue to do well!

Last Thursday was my husband's birthday. He turned 32 this year. Man he sure is getting old, kidding. :) We made daddy a birthday card & he got some new jeans & new shirt for winter. Happy Birthday baby.
I've been hunting on & off this year. Not as much as I'd like to. My husband got a little 7pt buck after his birthday Friday morning, (LUCKY) & he's also killed two other 6 pts this year. I'm a little jealous bc I'm not seeing much of anything but I guess I just have to have patients. Ha.
Anyways just thought I'd catch up on some things. Hope everyone is doing well & God Bless!!

Haircut- 1st time @ Fair- Trick or Treat

It's been two weeks since I've posted.... thought I'd try playing catch up. Ha.

What we've been up to lately.....

Hunter got his hair cut last week. He was in desperate need of it after Momma tried cutting it & then chopped it all up because some little boy wasn't having it. Ha.

~~~
Last Friday evening we took Hunter to the fair for the first time ever. He loved it!!! He wanted to be Mr. Independent all night. Ha. We road the ferris wheel together and boy he did not like it. Poor thing was scared to death, I guess momma shouldn't have taken him so high up. :(

We had to get off ASAP!! :)
He got to ride a lot of rides & had a blast!!!

Eating some yummy fair food

~~~

Sunday evening Wayne & I went to church for a Talley Trio concert, which was wonderful. Then afterwards we took toota bugs trick or treating with his cousins. He was dressed up as a Prisoner this year. Ha. Everytime we went up to get some candy everyone would ask where did he escape from, haha. =)

We had a wonderful time spending the weekend with family & staying out late. Hehe :)
