Fall like Weekend

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Thursday evening we kicked off the weekend by taking Hunter to chuck-e-cheese. He's been asking to go for about a month now and we finally had the time to take him. We told him if he was good for the school week, we'd take him.




(he had me laughing at this picture, can't you see my cheese ball smile, ha!)




As you can see he had a blast!! I believe Daddy enjoyed it more than Mommy. :)

*Friday*
Ya'll the weather was unbelievably phenomenal outside, nice and cool with an overcast, just the beginning of fall weather!!! I spent most of the day doing some deep fall cleaning, I took out all the fall decorations and lite all the pumpkin spice candles, opened up all he window's in the house., had it feeling like fall in my house. Perfect day!!

That evening I went out in the boat with my hubby and his friend gator hunting. It was FREEZING by then and the lake was so dried up we came back into landing after only an hour on the water.
Us on the boat freezing my butt off. Ha!


*Saturday*
it was plane out cold! Ha. We all loaded up early morning and headed out to the hunting club. We had a fun day of hunting, ran 7 bucks, killed 2. Wayne and I both missed one. :( Wayne got a coyote while hunting, pretty cool.


*Sunday*
we went to church, hen headed to my Granny's house to eat dinner. Stayed for a few hours then headed back home to relax then take Hunter to Awana.

And now It's Monday, Blah! :) Have a great week ladies!!

July Randomness

Since I haven't really had the time to post about all the fun events that's happened in our lives for the month of July, I am going to list out a few things that's taken place! Bare with me...

* My friend Jen had her baby boy July 15th... Meet Owen the most precious handsome baby boy ever! It felt awesome holding a newborn, not that I want another one or anything *sarcasm :)



(bad picture)

*Hunter moved up into his 3yr old class at daycare. They are testing him out early to see how well he accomplishes. He hasn't been fully potty trained yet, but we're all still working on that. My babies growing UP!!

*We've got all our tree stands up and ready to hunt. Deer cameras are out and deer have found the corn. Got some small cow horns and does. Now we're just patiently waiting for August 15th, 3 more weeks baby! Here's a pic of Hunter in the tree stand with his Momma for the 1st time!


* I've attended 2 concerts this month. It's been since March that I last went to one, figured it was time to cut lose! Ha! My friend Kim invited me to see Josh Thompson & Lee Brice (for the 3rd time). We had a blast! She's a Bricaholic shall I say! :)


~I invited her to see Brantley Gilbert at a small bar downtown. I am so IN LOVE with him! He only lasted 30 min on stage and sung 5 songs... that was a disappointment, BUT they say he was sick and wasn't feeling well. Poor babe, I'll have to give him another shot! Luckily it was a free concert!

(bad picture but he's looking at me, ha)

* My son got chased after by some yellow jackets and stung on his right ear! Him & G-daddy were walking in the ditch bank and a whole swarm of them came out and attacked. They both only got stung once, THANKFULLY!! My poor baby was in tears and petrified!!! He was fine after an hr went by. * his 1st bee sting... Aw!


* Hunter loves his Bubba.. AKA Uncle Jamie! Probably because he let's him get away with everything and does what he wants! Ha.


* In less than a month my baby will be 3!!! It seems so unreal! I'm kind of sad and happy. :\

* Hubby bought me some new hunt boots! LaCrosse snake proof boots! I LOVE them! :)

(half body shot ha)

* I have just about everything ready for his birthday party thanks for all the help from Grandma (mom)!! I am so excited, he's going to have the best party yet!

* Hunter got lucky last week. He won the schools door prize, a basket full of goodies!! I was shocked but so happy for him! He's got that good Luck like his Momma, that's right!

* I've finally started putting Hunters scrapbook together from his 1st year of life! It's taking me some time to get everything together but I'm super EXCITED about this new project. I should have started months ago, but I'm hoping to get it done before his party. That's my goal anyways. :)

* My hubby and I both got picked for gator tags this year!! We are so excited to go "choot" us a gator! It's going to be fun!

I believe that covered my whole month of July! :-) Tune in for another letter to my precious son on the next post! (can't believe It's already been a month)

Until then.... :)

HaHa!!!

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. :)

Haircut~Weekend Ramble

I feel much better today than yesterday, thanks for the comments. ♥

I took Hunter for his 2nd haircut on Friday. He sure did need one, even though I am missing his long hair already.

during

after

(not a good pic but can tell he got it cut)

In some places I noticed the barber gaped his hair up a little bit (he would not keep still). I was a little disappointed on how the back turned out. I really wanted the top to be short and the back to be kinda long and have his cute curls grow out. I told her to trim the bottom of his neck, but she cut all the curls off and shaved his neck. At least I know that his hair will grow back and that's all that matters.

We didn't do a whole lot this weekend. We were suppose to go gator hunting but those plans got crushed. Instead we lounged around the house, napped a lot, then shopped around for some new hunting gear at Dick's Sporting Goods, went to church on Sunday, then visited with Granny.

Hunter's nanny bought him some cute new jammies for Halloween and I thought they were the cutest ever. Check out his socks. Ha! I have been teaching him to brush his teeth at night and he has been doing a great job. See.....

Ain't he cute?!? :D
Sunday while at my granny's house H got to ride the four wheeler with his Papa. He sure did love that, he didn't want to get off. He learned how to turn the key on and push the button to crank it up.I was glad to see my granny. Poor granny fell last Monday on her front concrete porch. She was standing in a chair trying to hang a clock up, then when she went to get down, she said her foot act like it stuck to the chair, and she fell hit her bottom and head on the porch. Luckily there was no blood and her neighbor was outside. She did have a big not on her head and bruises but she is a lot better now. I hope she learns to ask someone next time. Hehe, I love ya granny!

I am so excited for this upcoming month, it's a busy one I tell ya. This weekend we will definitely be gator hunting, hoping to get a big one!!! We haven't been deer hunting in a while, simply because it's beginning to get darker earlier during the week (so I can't go after work), and my husbands tree stand got stolen (stupid trust passers). But we have planned for another hunt on that plantation I had written about before, I can't wait. Then we have a Halloween Extravaganza to go to, lots of scary hay rides, haunted house, etc., then of course Hunter will be all dressed up in his cute costume and we'll take him trick-or-treating. We bought one for him 2 weeks ago but I wont say what he'll be until after Halloween! :D Wayne & I have also finally, thought about buying a home for us. We haven't gotten into details yet if we can even approve of getting a home, but I'm just soooo tickled to know that my husband is finally taking a second step and realizing we need our own home. But for now we will pray on it! Ya'll have a wonderful day.

Everything

Recap of my week/weekend from last week!
I've skipped a lot of post for the past 2 weeks it seems and really hates falling this far behind. Okay so I'm going to explain a little differently this time so it will be a shorter post!
Hunter got small case of swine flu last week
started last Monday w/ high fever
daycare called said it reached 100' to come get son
took him to Dr., they said he just has a common cold
took him home, got Motrin in system
fever down & up, stayed home from work on Tuesday
H still didn't feel well
Fever went down, took him to daycare Wed.
got phone call that evening, my son has a temp of 102.5
What?!?!? OMGosh!
Left work immediately, took him to a "different" Dr.
Hunter has caught the small case of Swine flu
Oh gosh, tell me about it. I'm going to call his regular Dr. and raise some hell
Dr. gave him medicine to help with fevers.
My poor baby didn't feel good at all
runny nose, coughing, high fevers, just plain ole' miserable
made me & daddy worried and I cried like a baby!
Stayed home to take care of my baby Thursday
Felt much better by Friday evening
None of us caught this flu
Thank God!!!
My baby is back to daycare today and feels so much better!

So that's how last week went down for me. I tell you this swine flu thing is getting out of control. Everywhere I went, every one I talked to had some kind of flu. Even a child in my son's class had it. I think Hunter picked it up by himself because he was with me all last weekend, then got sick on Sunday.

Well as you can see no Gator for me. :( I did end up going Friday night, drove out into the water about 3 miles, hadn't seen not one gator, storm came in, got completely soaked. Oh gosh I thought to myself "What have I got myself into?" We weren't prepared for a storm that's for sure. It was freezing cold, and we had no shelter to cover from this. We ended up driving back in the rain. It was a long night. Thank God though we arrived to shore safely!

I went still (deer) hunting Saturday evening. We went to a plantation that had there own stands and food plots set up for hunters like us to sit. This guy has about 1200 acres of land and has some huge bucks on his property! It was a beautiful view of his home and the lodge for guest to stay in. Had a swamp behind the lodge infested with gators and fish. I'm telling you, I would do anything for this place! BEAUTIFUL! My husband, & FIL saw a bunch of doe's, I saw one little one but not big enough to shoot. You bet Wayne & I are returning and hoping to take down a big one! :)

Well that raps things up! I've been a bit spoiled taking these last few days off of work. I sure did enjoy the time I spent home with my son! It just goes to show how much you miss threw out the week when your not home with them.

Got a lot of work and blogs to catch up on! Maybe I'll get to them all before the weeks out!
Have a great week ya'll! ♥
