Registered my KINDERGARTEN!!!!

Last Thursday we registered our baby boy for his first year at KES! It's official he'll be a KINDERGARTEN on August 19th, ...wait did I just say that?!?  😔 I'm so sad my baby is growing up so quickly on me!!! Sigh! 

I guess I can't always hold his hand forever, you know the saying, but ill always have his heart!!! 

Hunter is very EXCITED to begin this new journey of his life, the picture proves it all!! Ha! Rockin' his new school mascot shirt in camo with that huge cheesy goofy smile!! 

While all that school stuff has been taking care of , I've been crafting it up for some little boys birthday party!! 

Can you take a guess what his theme will be this year?!? Ha!

Did some fishing over the weekend, and of course this little guy had to show off his big catch of the day...hehe He caught a nice small mouth bass!

Eh..  Yeah just me headed to church Sunday! No biggie! 

~~~

Monday I spent a little quality time with my baby boy before he headed into daycare. This is his last week at Oakbrook and are going to miss them so much!! Hunter had a wonderful experience at this Daycare!  

Grandma sent Hunter a huge package full of school clothes and supplies!! He also got this beautif cross with a buck and prayer on the front of it from Grandma. 

This is how I found him last night sound a sleep! Bitter sweet moments to remind me how blessed I am for Hunter to be mine! 

Thank you lord for the small and big blessings in my life!! 

I'm back!! New Beginnings, New Life, God is Good.....

Wow, It's been almost a whole year since I've posted last! I've come to realise I miss posting about my baby boy and all the wonderful new things he's been learning over the past few months!! So today will be the beginning to a fresh new year! There has been A LOT that has taken place over the past months, it was a life changing experience for our family to say the least! But God had a plan and he new what our family was capable of handling and he created something bad into something magnificent!! God is so GOOD!! 

Now I'm not gonna go into my past, but I'd like to share that Wayne and I are finally in our own home (apartment), we adopted a kitty who's name is Tiger, and Hunter is as happy as ever!! Hunter played Tee ball this year and did very well, he was a Pirate!! Great fun moments this year at TeeBall!! I got really tones he beginning of this year and lost a lot of weight, not where I'm at now but very happy with my results!  We attend a new church that I love so much, Ridgeville Church of God!! The pastor is AMAZING and I'm grateful to be apart of this church! Jobs are still the same, Hubby moved up from supervisor to management, thank you lord! We both work at a part time job cleaning our old church brought out the week! Pay is such a huge blessing!! Wayne and I both got new vehicles this year, I am now driving a nice Silver Honda civic, Wayne a new Chevy silverado 4x4 Z71, we both have been truly blessed beyond what we ever thought of!! We've been to TN on vacation twice this year, NC for a couples retreat to Oak Island with our church. We bought a Bluegreen travel package that allows us to vacation at any destination we'd like for nothing!  Hubby and i both killed 2 awesome turkeys this year back to back, very exciting experience!! Hunter went turkey hunting with me for the first time, didn't stay still for long ha! Hunter has grown up to be such a handsome sweet little boy! He graduated from k4 at his daycare in May, and He'll be starting K-5 kindergarten this month at KES and we are so proud of him!! Cannot believe our baby will be 5 this month and he's starting school!!! My oh my the time! Ha! I've finally reunited with my old bestie after 3 1/2 yrs!!! So thankful for 2nd chances and forgiveness!! I've attended a concert a time or two and got to see my bestie from Ga, so much fun! Hunter has been fishing a LOT since he's no longer playing TeeBall and he's been catching all the big ones and the most! He's very good at fishing, such a big boy!

Life's been great, and God has surly but truly blessed us with so much this year!!

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!!!

BIRTHDAY BOY TURNS 4 TODAY!!

My dearest son, today you turned another year older, how is this seriously possible?!?..

Mommy and Daddy cannot believe you are 4 today <<--- (Did I just say that)!!!

My son you have grown into a handsome young man and we couldn't be any prouder of you!!

You have changed so much lately, times been going by so quickly, life's been crazier than ever that I haven't had time to write down everything you have done/said and I'm saddened by it. Mommy needs to stay on board with all of these changes because we all know we'll never get this moment back. :(

Hunter you have gotten so tall and link lately. ha. You weigh about 43lbs and around 4 ft tall, you are in a size 11 shoe (big foot), size 4T clothing, some 5T's. You love to sing and dance whenever there is music on. You are ALWAYS jumping off of something (scares me half to death). You love it when Mommy reads to you then you say "me turn" and you like to go through the book by yourself and call out things that are happening in the picture to me.

 You have so many wonderful brothers and sisters (stuffed animals) at home with you that you cuddle up with and love.. there is Rex, Rusty, Tiger, Max, Kitty boo boo, Angel, T-Rex, and I'm sure many more.

You make sure you inform us now a days that we didn't do or say something the correct way, you love correcting us shall I say. Such a smarty pants latley. Ha! A little example (I went to tuck you in the other night and you informed me that I didn't tuck you in like you told me to, instead of having the covers half way on your chest like I did, you made sure "Mommy, you didn't tuck me in, "I told you" I wanted the covers all the way up to here". (You are ALWAYS saying that you "TOLD US SO" but really you tell us half of what you said and add the rest of your story after we've already done what we've had to do or say. Your favorite words ... "I told you so Mommy, I told you".. haha

You love playing pretend baby or puppy with Mommy. You say things like "you be Mommy and I be Baby okay" then you start crying like a new born baby, It's bitter sweet. :) You say your manners so well, everything is yes ma'am/sir, no ma'am/sir, thank you or THANKS, you remind us to chew with our mouths closed when eating, you are very polite. We have raised you well I'd have to brag!

You have a huge vocabulary now days, sometimes you come home with new words each week, last week it was "Mommy these (blank) are DELICIOUS". Oh that made me giggle when I heard that come from you. :)  You say so many cute things lately, every night before going to sleep I tuck you in, and when I start to walk away and close the door you say "mommy, I love you so much", I say it back, then you say "goodnight", then you say "mommy", pause.. "You didn't give me a kiss", so I give you a kiss, then we go through the whole "I love you" all over again, then you say "Mommy you didn't tuck me in", and it continues for about a minute.. ha. So bitter sweet!! You melt mommies heart!!

In the mornings during the school week I'll turn on the radio and get you to dance your way out of the bed, Its the only way I know how to get you up and moving because you DO NOT  like to wake up in the mornings. I also tickle you, then we hide from daddy so he can't tickle you either.

In the evenings you enjoy "helping" daddy outside in the yard. You say "Mommy I want to work with Daddy when we get home";. So cute!

You are always talking up a storm, telling me silly stories about your pretend brother and his sister at there house and going hunting. :) You explained to me the other day that "at my brother's house you can go hunting Mommy, at my brothers house where he hunts, he has a big, big, big, big, big,... pond with crocodiles you have to cross through to hunt in stand", I said I don't think I'd like to hunt at your brothers house, sounds very scary, you reply "Mommy It's okay, you'll be okay", then you talk about you hunt with a bow, and kill big,big, big bucks this huge (holds up arms as wide as he can). Haha Oh the stories you come up with fascinate me and your daddy!! :) You are def. our little Hunter!!!

Lately your new word is "look it" (look Mommy). ha.

Lately all you've talked about is you being a big boy and can do everything by yourself because you are not a baby anymore. Ha. When I say you'll always be Mommy's baby tho. right, you say no Mommy, I'm a big boy. :) Ah I love you so much!!

These past few months have been so wonderful having a 3 almost 4 year old around. It's so amazing what they say, and come up with.

You have grown out of that tantrum phase (Thank you Lord), and understand what we tell you to do or else time out is enforced (which you dislike)

Some things you are into lately, T.V shows; Super why, Franklin, Bubble Gumpies, Calhou, Fresh Beat Band, Chuggington, Jake the neverland Pirates, dino dan,  Love that dog/Jesus movie G-ma bought you (can't remember name of it), Monsters is by far your favorite movie,  tee-ball ( you can throw a ball very well), spider/bat man, super heroes, dinosaurs, any truck or train, dirt ha, books, puzzles, building things, coloring, hunting.

You can say your #'s up to 20 now, say some ABC's.

Oh this letter could go on and on, I could talk about you forever.

I just want you to know that you mean EVERYTHING to me and your Daddy and we are BEYOND blessed to have you apart of our lives and God chose you to be our son! You are the BEST thing that has EVER happened to me and your daddy!! We are so VERY proud of you baby boy!! Next week you'll be moved up into your 4K class and It's so hard to believe this!! Hunter we love you and pray that you continue to grow up to be the little boy God intended for you to be!!

Love you so much... Hugs.XOXO..Kisses,

Mommy and Daddy

May has been WONDERFUL..

The month of May has brought some pretty exciting, fun and some boo-book, but It's been a great month!! Hubby and I went out on a date to see Titanic 3D!! I was all dressed up and feeling great about myself...

Hubby and son before going out..

Made this adorable pink diaper cake for a friend of mine..

My sleeping Angel has been SUPER sweet these days.. his whole entire attitude has changed to a 180 since we've switch daycares and we are beyond proud of him!!

P90X has changed my life y'all!!! Look at me, and this is only 8 weeks!! My health, the way I eat, my whole life has changed, I'm a exercise-Aholic and I'm LOVING my results!! I have 3more weeks and I'll be a graduate.. so AMAZING!!

He can ride his bike like a big boy!!

My baby smashed his finger with a hammer, he pulled through like a champ though! That's my boy!

Pool time, yes sir!!

He got bitten by a fire ant and it did this to his ankle.. swelled up! Dr. said he's fine and there wasn't any infection, Thank God, that freaked me out!

Hunter got a cool snake tattoo from his schools party we went to, he had a blast!

Daddy and Grandaddy called in a nice Gobbler, watched it strut then killed him! They said it was the best turkey hunt they've ever been on together like that one! One they said they'll NEVER forget! Good job boys!!

Things are looking up for us and our family, life couldn't be better!! Thanking God every day for this life he's blessed me with!!
