Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

We had yet, another GORGEOUS weekend. The weather was PERFECT, low 80's. Loving it!

Saturday morning we went to the hunting club for our yearly club house meeting. Daddy worked around the club while tootabugs & I played ball and got muddy playing in the water.

(when I ask to take a picture, this is what I get, Ha)

(he's such a Country boy, gotta love that Dixie shirt)

That evening we all went out to Cracker Barrel for dinner "yum" with some of Wayne's family.

Our family photo I had to beg Wayne to PLEASE take.

(he HATES taking pictures)

Wayne's cousin just gave birth to a precious baby girl last month and we go to spoil her. Wayne didn't want to hold her, but we had to pressure him in to doing so. It felt so weird holding a new born all over again. Little miss Emily was super sweet.

Hunter & his other G.G

Sunday morning Hunter had thrown up twice @ 4a.m & wasn't feeling very well so we stayed home from church. I have no clue what was wrong with my child, but after he threw up he was completely fine, no fevers or nothing. Thought it may have been something he ate.

We stayed most of our Sunday outside because it was too beautiful to be lounging around inside all day.

That sums up our weekend.

Have a wonderful week ladies!!!

PS: I couldn't keep up with my 30 day photo challenge. Haha. So I'll try that again for some other time or maybe Facebook :)

Dear Hunter

Today Hunter is 2 1/2 years old. Just in 6 months we'll be celebrating his 3rd Birthday in August. Gulp, did I just say that correctly?!? Really 3?!?

My goodness time needs to slow down!!

Dear Hunter,

Six months from today you will be 3 and I am not looking forward to it. Hunter you are growing on me like crazy. I feel like the time just passes by like nothing. In a blank of an eye you are already turning a year older. My son you have come a long way and yet have so many years ahead of you. You have become a big helper around the house lately. Loves taking the trash out with Daddy. Your ALWAYS wanting to do things by yourself. You get mad if I try to help you, you say "No mommy, Me" :) Your such a big boy. You have just learned to pull your own pull-up and pants down by yourself. You go on the potty pretty regularly, sometimes we have to beg you to Please go but most times your good at it. You do VERY well at daycare pottying and they have become a HUGE help. You still haven't learned to "Poo" on potty yet but you let us know when you have to go. Hopefully you'll try it on the potty one day. Ha. You LOVE anything to do with trucks, fire trucks, water, choo-choo train. EVERY time we are riding in the car you have to point out EVERY little detail, for instants..

Hunter: "Mommy there's water in the ditch," or "Mommy there's choo-choo train,"

Mommy: "oh really Hun, that's neat"

Hunter: "uh huh"

Then you repeat everything you just said 10+ times. Ha, you are in the repeating stage and sometimes Mommy just wants to scream, but I'm patient with ya. Your hair has gone crazy on us, it wont style or do anything, just curls up into a little fro.Funny, guess we'll have to just keep cutting it short. Your vocabulary is getting better by the day. You can say a huge amount of sentences now, most times we can understand you, other times we struggle trying to figure out what your saying. You like to talk on the phone. Your obsessed with Thomas the train. You like to play with all of your trucks, ball (GREAT ball kicker), dance, play hide & seek, play with your train set, riding your four-wheeler. Speaking of four-wheeler, you do an AMAZING job riding that thing. You love riding in all the ditches, threw the mud holes, and you like to run people over sometimes then laugh, haha, which isn't nice. Your so funny, one night I came to put you in our bed because you wouldn't go back to sleep. I had to go back in your room to get bear, came back and you were all up on my side of the bed, then said "Ha ha Mommy." Your such a silly boy. A few times you have said " I love you guys" speaking to your Daddy & me. I suppose you picked that up from your teachers at Daycare. Ha, Funny. You are very interested in books these days, and actually "listens" when we read them to you instead of running your mouth the whole time. :) I've noticed you have a close friend at school named Dominic. Every time I come to pick you up you are ALWAYS hanging out with him, so cute to see you guys play with each other. You seem to be the popular guy around daycare, everyone knows you by name. You love cuddling with Daddy, you two have become closer in bondage as you've gotten older. ♥

Hunter there are so many things you have accomplished just within the past few months, so many that I can't even name them all, but we are so VERY proud of you son. My life would be empty if I didn't have you in it. You make our world complete just with you being here and I wouldn't have it any other way. I know I say this ALL the time, but son, God has truly BLESSED us beyond measures and we cannot think him enough.

We LOVE you baby boy with all our HEARTS!!!

Thank you for being a HUGE blessing in our lives.

xoxo

Mommy & Daddy

30 Day Photo Challenge
Day 4
Choose a picture of your favorite night

Ha this is an old picture back in 2007 when Wayne & I first started dating.

This was our 2nd date (I think). We road around his hunting club, riding dirt roads, drinking beers, and just having a good time in each others conversation.

We were HEAD OVER HILLS in LOVE!!!

(and still are)

Ah if only we could go back to that first moment.

♥

Have a good weekend ladies, It's my Friday.

Yay!

30 Day Photo Challenge Day 3

 Today's photo challenge: Choose a picture from the cast of your favorite show.

In all honestly, I don't watch much t.v.,because I find everything that's on t.v now days full of trash and not worth watching. Plus I NEVER have any time to watch television, I'm always too busy.

But when I do find myself watching it, It's to watch The Outdoor Channel.

I LOVE watching The Crush with Lee & Tiffany. I find them interesting the way they hunt and you learn a lot from them two. (you can blame my husband for my hunting addictions. Ha.) I look up to Lee & Tiffany a lot and they kind of remind me of myself and Wayne. :D

 

 

Happy Wednesday Y'all!

 

Beatiful Spring like Weekend

What we did over the weekend...
First I want to say my baby boy & I are just getting over the flu from last week. Just the typical fever flu that everyone has had in the past month. We're feeling much better now though! =)
We've had BEAUTIFUL weather here for the past few days & we are LOVING IT.

Friday I kept little man home with me & we ran a few errands, did some cleaning, then when Wayne came home around lunch time from work we drove around looking for some land people had up for sale. We both decided to start saving all we got & try purchasing a piece of land, maybe 2 -4 acres. We came across a few that were very good deals. We are hoping & praying we can find one soon. It was pretty exciting looking for land we maybe able to live on one day. I cannot wait! Ha.
Saturday Hunter decided it was time to get up supper EARLY, like 6 o'clock early, so we got up out of bed and ate breakfast.Then we headed outside around 7 & played outside most of the morning. Hunter got to help Daddy work on his trailer. He loves to help! =)

We played outside until it was nap time. During Hunter's nap, I got to lay out in my lounge chair under the sun. It definitely wasn't warm enough to where any bathing suite but I read my "turkey Hunting" book (ha yeah I'm a country girl alright) and just relaxed. Got a little bit of sun on my legs & arms. Yay! ;) After H's nap we went to visit with Granny & we let Hunter ride his four-wheeler for a little while their. Granny was really impressed for him to be so good at driving his 4-wheeler & he's not even 3 yet. We gotta train him early. Ha!. It was a Fun day over all!

You see what I was wearing over the weekend.. pulled out my tank top & Rainbow flip-flops... In Heaven! ♥

Sunday we went to church & relaxed all day. It was the first day of NASCAR race so we had to watch it. It was a pretty normal weekend.. Again! Ha!

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL!!!

Valentines Weekend

(I'm late posting this but better late than never) We had beautiful weather over the weekend & decided to take Hunter out to the club house to ride four wheelers around for the day. He had a blast riding through the mud holes & splashing water everywhere. He does so well for his age riding his four wheeler. We played ball & played in the water with his water boots on. Daddy worked around the club house while we got to goof off. We had a great family day & I cannot wait for warmer weather so we can do this again!!

he found a dead red bird & was mighty proud to show it off :)

It's a good thing I brought his rain boots!

Sunday evening Wayne & I celebrated Valentines Day a day early. We both agreed since our Anniversary was coming up in March that we wouldn't get each other anything for V-day. Instead we went to eat out @ Outback Steak House & oh my word it was DELICIOUS!! I really enjoyed our dinner with just the two of us.

Wayne, I love you so much & Thank God everyday for him making you mine

♥ THE BEST GIFT IS BEING WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES ♥

This was Hunter's gift from Mommy & Daddy...

opening his gift

"It's a choo choo train Mommy"

We bought him "Gordan" the train to go along with his train track his Papa bought him back @ Christmas time, Along with some candy.

I ended up getting two sweet cards from my boys & a cute monkey holding a rose from my tootabugs.

Thanks Boys, Y'all are the two LOVES of my life & I wouldn't have it any other way! ♥

Thomas Saves The Day

Thursday evening I left work early to take my little munchkin & his cousin Darren to see Thomas & Friends Live on stage. I was so excited to take them & could not wait to see the expression on Hunter face when they performed. Hunter had a HUGE smile on his face when he first saw Thomas and really didn't know what to think. They truly enjoyed it & were surprisingly really good. It's a moment I'll never forget & will capture forever.
(sorry for the lack of photos, we were NOT allowed to take pictures/videos and cameras were taking away at the entrance of the door but I snuck mine in!! It is REALLY ridiculous that you can't take pictures of your children enjoying the once in a life time moment. Stupidest rule EVER. Just saying)

Hunter's new shirt we bought him from the show
Cousin Darren & Hunter

My favorite picture of the evening Ha!

The show I snuck pictures of :)

Wordless Wednesday

When I came home last night from gym I found this on his head.

Funny Silly Boy! :)

Embarassing Tantrums in Public

<center> As I was in the mall Saturday along with my very exhausted two year old, he decided he wanted to throw a HORRIBLE tantrum in the middle of the mall where EVERYONE was watching. Y'all I have never been so embarrassed in my life until that day. You see normally he'd throw these random tantrums in his room while AT HOME not in PUBLIC and I'd just leave him alone & let him cry it out. Well of course I couldn't' just leave him screaming at the top of his lungs laying on the floor in the mall, so I kinda panicked and started getting really hot & sweaty (normal). I picked him up and tried calming him down & spoke to him softly but he wasn't having it. I walked away from the crowd who had their eyes bulging out at us, and tried calming him down outside but he continued to scream and say "NO". My oh my I just wanted to beat his little hinny so bad but I knew that wasn't the appropriate thing to do. I took him back to his Nanny & she tried calming him down & putting him back into the cart but he still was freaking out. I finally gave in and gave him his paci (PLEASE don't' judge me because he has a paci at 2yrs old) and held him and walked away. He finally stopped and had listened to what I had to say to him. I can say one thing, Thank God for Pacifiers!!! I'm not ashamed because he still has one either, It's only for naps & night time, we'll wean him off of it I'm sure before he's 3 so don't worry or judge like I said! 

And the reason behind this tantrum you maybe asking...  I let him ride one of the kiddy rides in the mall, and then another one but after the second ride we were ready to move to another store, well he wanted to ride again. By time I said No he had already started pitching his tantrum fit.

So my question to you ladies, have you ever dealt with this kind of behavior before & how did you deal with it??

Boy I just hope this never happens again in public! :)

My Valentine Hunk..

Thought I'd share Hunter's Valentines card I'll be passing out to everyone this weekend...

Something not too fancy but simple enough. :)
This pass weekend was a busy one for me...
Thursday my MIL & I joined a gym together which is right up the road from where I work & can stop by right after I get off. I'm so excited for working out at the gym again, hopefully it will tone up a lot of body fat I've been storing away lately. Ha!
Friday was my first day @ the gym & they have free tanning which makes it even more worth joining, had an awesome workout. Went shopping for Valentines gift & such all day. Fun, fun. Saturday I went back the mall (which is where my gym is at) and did lots more shopping with my MIL, SIL & her kidos. Lets just say I did a LOT of walking this passed weekend & got a lot of great deals! =)
Sadly I must be a bad momma because I didn't take any pictures again for the second weekend in a row, (besides what little pics I took on my cell phone).. I've been trying to cut back on taking so many photos this year because I had about a billion prints I had to print out the year of 2009-10 that was ridiculous. I guess when I take pictures of my baby boy I'll have to choose the best one's & not print out so many. Ha.
Sunday I woke up exhausted, but went to church anyways & taught my Sunday school class. Afterwards I took Hunter to get his haircut which my poor babe was in desperate need of a cut. We then came home to nap right after. Yes I skipped church because I was sleepy, shame on me. :/ After about a 3 hr nap on a BEAUTIFUL Sunday that we waisted, we played outside for a little while with tootabugs then went grocery shopping before the big Super Bowl game.
I was pulling for the Steelers but my hubby was pulling for Greenbay.. man I'm kinda glad in away Greenbay won because I'd have a sleeping with a mean grumpy man If they didn't win. Men & their football games, they take it SO serious! Really??
Hope you all have a great week!!

Quiet Week

I'm still alive in case anyone is wondering what happen to me.

I really don't have anything to blog about even though It's been almost 2 weeks since I've blogged last. Strange. Just one of those weeks where I'm more into Facebook than blogging. Ha. You ladies know what I mean I'm sure.
My hubby and I got to file our taxes this past weekend, so happy with the outcome! Looking forward to new tires and paying a few bills off. Hunter got a little cold over the weekend but he's doing much better now. It was a lazy weekend once again with not much going on.
I'm happy to state that it is actually 76' here in this sunshine state of South Carolina today!!! Wishing this would last forever, I'm so ready for Spring!!!
I didn't take any pictures over the weekend surprisingly, but I do have this...

My sweet little angel. :)
Hope you all are having a great week!!
