January- May 2014

2014 started off a rough year for Wayne's family, we lost a very good hearted woman on February 14th! Wayne's Granny went home to be with Jesus. She lived a long healthy life raising 5 children, and lots of Grandchildren and Great grand babies. She will never always think of her and cherish the house she left behind for us. God had bigger and great plans and he new what he was doing when he took her home!

Love and Miss you  Mrs. Callahan!!!!

 

 We moved out of our apartment and into Granny's home she left behind in March. It was such a huge blessing to us and we are so grateful for our new home!! We've done LOTS of remodeling on the inside and out, here is a picture of the new shingles that were put on. We love living here and couldnt' be anymore grateful!!

 

Our first bone fire in the new back yard!! :)  

 

Since we got a back yard, we decided to bring home a new sibling, meet Maggie!!

She's our new chocolate lab baby girl!!!

 

she's spoiled rottin!! :)

 All decked out in pearls ha

I decided it was time for a big change, cut 9 inches off my hair for the spring/summer! I was in desperate need of a new look and I just LOVE it!! Feels so amazing!!

 

Hubby and I at the NWTF Banquet!  

Some little boy got a visit from the tooth fairy because he lost his first baby tooth!!! :)

He was sooo excited. When his tooth was lose, that's all he'd talk about, drove me nuts and wouldn't keep his fingers out of his mouth! Crazy kid! He got $5 from the tooth fairy! Lucky him. ha

He also lost his 2nd tooth at school a few weeks after his first one came out right next to it.

 

We brought Tiger home to live with us after him being at my MIL's house for a few months, we couldn't keep him in the apartment, but now he's an outdoor and indoor kitty.

He's been wonderful to have back home!! We love Tiger!

 

 

TeeBall started up in April! Guess what team he's on again??

Pirates!!

He's played so well this year, looking forward to next year, going for the couch pitch!!

The Easter Bunny came to town, ha. We had Easter dinner with my family at our house. It was nice having family over for the first time in our new home! Looking forward to making many more memories!

So our family photo didn't turn out so well.. go figure!!! ha

 

We're so proud of Hunter. His Art Work got picked to be on display for the schools wall of art show!!

He's such a great artist, got that from both his Momma and Daddy!

 

Yeah look who killed a turkey! ha

 

Got to meet and see this beautiful singer one Saturday night!!

Jana Kramer Rocks!!!

Went for a fun family day at Memorial Gardens.

 

My niece Miranda had Prom and she asked me to do her hair. 

She's so beautiful, cannot believe she graduates this year!!!!

First time out in the boat fishing with Uncle Bubba!

That's a nice catch!

 

 

 Hunter had a school field trip at the Beach! We had so much fun and I enjoyed being there with him for this big day!

 We went skating for the first time with Hunter!! Went to my friends birthday party. He had a blast, and we busted our butts numerous times! Not cool!

We were beach babes last Saturday!! First time in the waves for this Summer!

The kids loved it!!

Now that I'm somewhat caught up, maybe I can stick with this! :)

Visit to GeeGee's house

Last weekend we stayed a few nights with GeeGee. Figured she needed some company because we know how lonely it can be at times living by yourself.

Saturday we were invited to my cousins house for a Family cookout. There were about over 50 family members that showed up at this cookout and I only new of about 15. Ha! I believe they invited more of the other family's side than our side. We had lots of great food, fellowship and laughter. Everything was held outside in this huge shed, and Hunter LOVED every bit of being at there house, he saw cows, horses, dogs, and a tractor. We had a wonderful time!

Sunday morning we were getting ready for church and my dad pulled in the yard with this HUGE 10 point buck!! I couldn't believe how huge this thing was considering it came from behind his house, and you don't see many huge deer like that in South Carolina. He was one proud man and Hunter was excited too! :)

That evening we got home around 5 and painted/decorated Hunter's pumpkin. We didn't take him to the pumpkin patch this year yet so I said I'd just pick him up one from Wal-mart and he loved it just as much!

My Labor Day weekend..

Here's a look at a few random things we did while off for 3 days last weekend....
Friday evening Hunter and I loaded up our things and spent the night with my Granny. I needed to get away for a night since the hubby was going huntin. This was our 2nd night staying the night off like this and Hunter did really well. Gee Gee really enjoyed our company.

I let my brother that was over that night spend time with H for a few hrs while I went huntin' with my dad. Felt nice to be in a stand. Saw a ton of turkeys and my 1st bobcat, it was an interesting night to say the least. Saw no deer tho.

Check me out.. ha!

~~~
Saturday morning we woke up to a big breakfast, ham, Bacon, grits, eggs and toast. It's been a while since I had a nice breakfast from my Granny like that. What would we do without her! :)
After breakfast we drove to Lowe's for a few things my Granny needed.
He got to ride like Jimmy Johnson while Gee Gee steered the way. Ha.


We then went to Wally World for some fabric I'm going to be using to make these beautiful fall & Christmas wreaths. >


It's been a fun project I've already started on and cant wait to show off.

Back home at my Granny's, she made this Mexican hat back when she used to creche, gave it to H, ha.. too funny.

~~~

Sunday was my last day teaching our Sunday school class for the 2yr olds. We had a little breakfast party for all the children. I am saddened to leave them but I needed a break for the year. Figured I'd get back into a Sunday school class for myself. We all need breaks sometimes.

~~~

Monday we took tootabugs huntin most of the day. We saw a few deer nothing worth shooting at, can't you tell he had a blast but was pooped towards the middle of the day. :)

Great Weekend

Hi ladies, hope you gals had a wonderful weekend. I have been a little busy so I haven't got to read any one's blogs lately & just posting about my weekend. Friday my friends daughter will be graduating this year & got accepted to Clemson College in the fall. She asked if I'd like to tag along, and boy was I thrilled. Clemson is our #1 team & it was SOO Beautiful!!! As sad as this may sound but I've never taken a tour or visited any colleges before so I was excited. We had so much fun. I got to meet up with my step-bro Frankie, who is a freshmen at the campus. It was an Awesome place & would die to have gone there for school!!!



Clemson Football Stadium ♥
~My girlfriend & I went to our local Flea Market on Saturday. It was okay, haven't been in such a long time. Then that evening Hunter & I mowed the grass on our new John Deere Tractor. Hunter had a blast with that.~Sunday my friend Erica (who I rarely get to see) had her baby girls 1st birthday party at a park. Little Miss Leah was so cute. She got lots of great birthday gifts. It was really good to see everyone we haven't seen in forever & we had a great time.
*Birthday Girl *Us three girls together again at last. :)
(can't you tell that me & Christina (prego lady) were matching that day, Plaid day) :)Sunday evening we went to visit with my Granny. Had a good dinner with her & she got to spend time with little man. It's so hard to get over to my Granny's at times so we try to go as often as we can.
That raps up my weekend. Onto Monday. My husband stayed home yesterday just because, and this is what he brought home....


A big ole' Gobbler. :) He was very proud since it was his first of the season. Mommy was a bit jealous knowing that I have no luck when I try going! I was happy for him & Hunter enjoyed checking him out, can't ya tell. :)

Anyways, It's been a heck of a week so far. Been a little stressed out because a certain little boy hasn't done a lot of listening these past few days. Hunter has been driving me crazy! Guess It's a stage they all go through. Hope the week gets better. Looking forward to lots of Spring cleaning & arranging things this Friday off. It's a MUST for sure. I'm so sick of working my way around things in my son's room & he has so many toys, etc. that I have to clean out. So looking forward to that, (not really but someone has to do it) .

Have a great week ladies.
