Thanksgiving Weekend

This Thanksgiving our family spent the day at my Granny's house and that evening at my in-laws house (our home for now ha).

I got to see family I haven't seen in a while at my Granny's house and took some really great photos.

Wayne wasn't with us during this feast thanks to hunting. Ha.

It was really nice having all of us together.

That evening we headed back to the house to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with Wayne's parents and his sister.

(unfortunately I didn't take any pictures :(... But this one.. ha.

our other son Shadow. :)

We had all kinds of yummy food and everything was great!

Afterward we celebrated two Birthday's!! Me and my niece Melina had a birthday on the 25th, instead of celebrating the day of our Birthday we celebrated a day early since all the family were together.

I got some great gifts from my family this year and I'm so Thankful for each and every one!

Hubby took me to Gilligans for Yummy crablegs!
Turning 25 Isn't so bad after all. :)

This little girl turned 9 (I made that sign for her), Isn't she ADORABLE?!?

Melina had a few great gifts as well that I made her... I'll save my craftiness for another post!

The rest of our weekend was spent hunting Friday,

Saturday we stayed home and spent the day doing chores and setting up Hunter's new BIG BOY bed

Sunday we put up the Christmas tree,
(as you can see not all the lights are working quit yet ha)

hung all the decorations and I made my first ornament wreath! It came out Perfect!

This year I am so Thankful to share this holiday with wonderful family; even the ones who couldn't be here, to have a family to call my own, and most importantly I'm Thankful for my God who made me the young lady I am today and never giving up when Satan pulls me down!!

I hope that each and every one of you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Gobble... Gobble.. Gobble ..

Buck Fever

One of the best things that our family enjoys the most is hunting, as you all may know. This is our way of having fun and spending our time with each other.
Last Friday I got to go hunting with my hubby all day. We sat that morning and I saw 2 cowhorn (small buck w/ two horns) and it was pretty exciting to just see that.

Well that Friday evening we sat again and luckily we were both blessed to have killed a buck that night!!
I shot a 4pt that had a huge body on him, about 130 lb deer.

Wayne shot right after I did and killed a nice 9 pt buck.

We were both so stoked that we each got a buck in the same night! It was such an amazing feeling to have gotten my first buck of the year and to share that moment with the man I love was even more exciting!!

We wished that Hunter could have been there to see Mommy and Daddy celebrate this great night, but unfortunately he's too young right now to sit still quietly enough to still hunt.
Hunter was thrilled to hear we both got a buck that night and he was excited when he saw the horns off the deer.
He's going to be a great "hunter" one day, I just know it!

Saturday's are usually our dog huntin days with the family, so Hunter got to join us that day.
He has so much fun being outside all day hunting with everyone. He loves it so much that its all he ever talks about! HA!
We have him trained early y'all so look out future Hunters! :-)

He got to spend time with his Uncle Bubba too!

Ah.. It's been a great year that the Lord had blessed us with and I'm looking forward to many days like this to come!

CMA Awards live 'in the theatre'

Last Wednesday was the Country Music Awards and you all know how much I'm obsessed with Country music, so my girlfriend invited me to see it live on the big screen @ the Cinebarre movie theatre.

The theater was reserved for all the Country fans, we enjoyed live singing before the Awards started with a free appetizer.

We got to dress up in silly stuff and take pictures in the photo booth..

So much fun!!

We walked the red carpet into the 'Awards show'

Enjoyed a meal and 2 drinks while being served during the show

It felt like we were really there bc we would clap or dance every time.
We had a great night!!

I really enjoyed our girl time together with all 3 Kim's who ALWAYS win off the radio!!
Thanks WEZL for an AWESOME night!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

We celebrated Wayne's 33rd Birthday over the weekend!! His Birthday was Friday and he finally had a Friday off from work so we went Hunting together. We ate at Cracker Barrel for breakfast and enjoyed spending time together.
(Sadly I didn't get any very good pictures of Wayne nore me that day)
After breakfast we got a phone call from Hunter's school saying he got hit in the head from a kid who accidentally gees a truck and it caused a bad cut on the back of Hunter's head with bleeding. Thankfully Nanny came to his rescue from for us because we were so far put the way to get to him on time. He was fine after the cut happened and his Nanny took him home with her. I'm so glad it wasn't any worse than what it was!!

We celebrated Wayne's birthday on Sunday. He got lots of great gifts, a Yummy dinner and awesome cake! :)

Helping Daddy blow out the birthday candles.

While over the weekend I was hard at work going through all of Hunter's toys, paper work, his clothes and organizing his whole entire room. He still had a few baby items laying around his room and as sad as it maybe he's not a baby anymore, so It was time to transform his room into a big boy room! :(
It was a job in a half but I'm so very grateful at how well his room turned out to be. We bought a Cubbie organizer for all his toys/books/puzzles. I divided up his monster trucks from his tractors to all his hot wheel cars and train sets in separate bins. Everything is neatly organized Thanks to this new Cubbie organizer!!

Now he has a lot more room to play and he can find his toys easily every time he wants to play!
Every morning since I've organized all his toys he wakes up saying "Mommy, I want to play" too cute!
Before everything was all dumped into a huge bucket, so he is really proud of what Mommy & Daddy did for him.
We'll also be getting rid of his day bed and making it into a single bed this weekend. So excited!!
*Preparing for Christmas as well!!* :-)

Grandma shipped off an early Christmas present for tootabugs.. check out these ADORABLE insulated overall bibs for Hunting!! He LOVED them! Thanks Grandma!

Trick-or-treat weekend

Y'all have no idea how ridiculously long it took me to post this long post full of photos!! It's obviously been over a week since I've posted last and I'm finally getting around to our Halloween weekend. Smart phones are not smart, let's just stick to that!!
(my phone is the only way I can post each week because we have no computer and my phone took me FOREVER to post this)

My weekend of October 29th.. that Friday Hunter had a Halloween party at school. I made some Yummy mashed potatoes for his class, and ate lunch with them. He really loved Mommy being there with him at school. Later after lunch, I took Hunter down town to check out all the "Scare crows of the Town." We had fun checking out all the different Halloween exhibits.

That Friday night our church had a "Jamboree" for all the children. Hunter had so much fun!! He raced horses, played needle in a hay stack (which was his favorite bc he got to play around in the hay), played horse shoes, got to pet a "pretend" horse, went on a hay ride, and played all sorts of fun
games. We had a great time that night!!

My handsome cowboy!!

*Saturday we went hunting as usual.
*Sunday we didn't do a whole lot just went to church then relaxed at home.

*Monday Hunter got to wear one of his costumes to school, he was Mommy's Super Hero for the day. Ha! His class got to play at the House of Bounce, which is right behind the daycare. Thy had so much fun!!

Halloween night Hunter put his Batman costume on to keep Mommy safe through out the night. Ha! As you can see we had a hard time deciding if he wanted to be Super man or Batman. :)

My Granny made his cape, I bought the Batman logo off Etsy with Hunter's name on it and Ironed on the cape. Turned out perfect!!

We took Hunter trick-or-treating with his cousins in a neighborhood down the street from us.
He got lots of candy and enjoyed walking from house to house.

By time we walked around the block a few times and a bucket full of candy later, Hunter was pooped! He said "Mommy please take my bucket, It's too heavy and I'm ready to go to my bed"
Poor Baby! :)
