Just an ordinary Weekend, or was it?

Another weekend has come and gone.

Thursday night the hubby and I went out for a Banquet dinner put on by his job. We had lots of great free food, and we had a blast!

Friday evening I went hunting at my Daddy's house, killed me a baby cow horn, thought it was a doe, I felt guilty for killing this young buck, but hey it happens! I got meat in the freezer and Hunter was there to experience the kill with me! ;)

Saturday we stayed at the club ALL day hunting...

Hunter said "Hold on George", love his cute face!!

Sunday morning ended up being a good day, I didn't go to church because Hunter was a little sick and I had sooo much to get done before 12 that day, anyways I got some bad news that evening. I got a phone call from my brother's girlfriend stating he was in the hospital. We almost could have lost my brother that day if my Grandmother hadn't of checked on him that day. He hurt himself at work last week, thought he bruised his ribs, Granny found him halfway breathing in bed, lying down, almost gone.. She rushed him to the ER, they found out he had fluid in between his lungs and rib cage, a collapsed lung and on top of it all phenomia. :( He got lots of medicine to treat all of this and is home resting it out. He's getting better by the day. God had his hands on him! I don't know what I'd do if I lost my bubba. Life is so short, you just never know when something like this could happen. I'm thankful that my Granny checked on him when she did!!

Monday I worked 3 hrs then was called to pick my child up. Daycare closed for the WEEK!! Yes, you read that right. They had a busted water pipe in the school and closed the facility down for the week with a back up daycare and/or I could take a vacation week. Ugh, well I wasn't about to let my child go to some other school he nor I have ever been in, so thankfully I had my friend Jennifer keep him for the next 3 days! She's been a life savor!!

Hunter and I went to the park that day and played a little hunting. Ha! :)

Just another crazy, scary, stressful weekend but I'm so Thankful for all these things!!!

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!!!

Memorial Weekend

Oh what a long weekend but not long enough....here's what we did
Friday I picked up Hunter early from daycare, I was a bit sad to leave knowing he wouldn’t return here anymore. I was surprised to see his teachers left a gift for us inside his cubby hole.. It was so sweet of them to give us this, a sweet card, two reading books, a coloring book, & crayons . We sure will miss them & thank them for all they have done.
I took Hunter to meet his new daycare afterwards, he seemed to like it even though he was a bit shy at first. Saturday Wayne & I went to my dad’s hunting club and road the four-wheeler all evening. We had lots of fun and got all muddy, love it. Sunday we went to church. After I took Hunter to the park, he seemed to have enjoyed himself, then we came home & got in his pool for the evening. Memorial day the weather wasn’t perfect but Tammy & I managed to take the kids to the beach for a couple of hours. This was Hunter’s 2nd time at the beach, he loved it so much. He didn’t mind at all if that nasty salt water got in his face either. He kept on wanting to run into the waves in the deep part. Crazy child. After the Beach we headed home and took a 3 hr nap. My baby fell asleep on my chest in our bed (which is VERY random that we do this), it felt quite pleasant. I’ll sure miss these moments. That evening we had family come over for a Mexican fieasta dinner. My brother Jamie came home from Texas for “GOOD” & he came to visit with us as well.

Uncle bubba (Jamie)

This morning Hunter started his new daycare. As we pulled up and waited for the doors to open I had a small talk with him telling him how he would be starting a new school and such. I asked him if he was going to be a big boy & be good, he shook his head yes & said “yes”. So sweet. He spotted the playground immediately and got excited, but I simply told him he could play out their later. He got a little fussy for a second after I told him that but was fine as we walked up to the main door.
I was so nervous for him. I was afraid he would latch onto me & cry when I dropped him off, but that didn’t happen. Instead we walked into his class room together, he met his teacher for a quick second & ran off to the rocking horse. (he had one at St. Luke’s that he loved to ride). As he was playing I was talking with his teacher about him & all the stuff I brought. As I was headed out the door he looked at me & I waved to him & told him I loved him & goodbye.. (I wanted to get out of there as quick as I could so he wouldn’t latch on) He kind of gave me a look to why I was leaving him their. :/
I called twice today and he seemed to have had a good day so far. I will post tomorrow about how his day went. I cannot wait to pick him up & here all about it.

Hope everyone has a short/good work week!
