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! :)

Hunters 5th Birthday Party!!

  We celebrated my babies 5th Birthday party last Saturday, August 24th!! Did I honestly just say that?? Man, it seems just yesterday I was changing his diapers!!

Crazy how fast time really flies!!

 Just look at my baby!! 😕

Hunter's birthday party theme was batman this year, and it was going to be held at our county park, but rain changed our plans.

 

We ended up celebrating his birthday at our apartment, and I'm honestly thankful we had it here because I made so many decorations, this made it 10x better at house!!

 

Hunter had many new friends that celebrated with us on his big day; Mason, Brady, Tristen and of course Darren.

 

He had a great turn out and got many wonderful gifts!!

 

We are so very Thankful for each person who attended and who are apart of our babies life!!

 

We had a friend make his super awesome batman cake which was a big hit!

I made  everything, from the invitations to the goody bag to the pinata to the photo booth, birthday banner,  the "bat bombs" (marshmallow pops), etc.

I'd have to say he had a PRETTY AWESOME Birthday party thanks to his WONDERFUL CRAFTY Momma!!! ha..

 

Seriously I know each year I go all out, especially every year I learn a little more about decorating but I absolutely just love it!! I enjoy making my baby and his guest happy, happy, happy, ha and it brings me joy to see my babies face light up each year. I never had these things growing up so I want everything perfect for my child!!

 

Cake and ice cream were the only things served along with the Marshmallow pops for favors.

 

The photo booth was a huge hit as well, we all had so much fun!!

 

Even our kitty Tiger joined in on all the fun, ha! 

The Kids enjoyed all that candy they busted out of the piñata! 

And after the party we had an after party ha......

Drum roll~~~~~^

The best gift of them all was when Uncle  Bubba showed up late and gave Hunter his first real four-wheeler!!! He LOVES it!! He can't get enough of his four-wheeler, that's all we hear him talk about these days! ha.

 

Later that evening celebrating the rest of his big day we let him ride the four-wheeler around the house at his Nanny and Grandaddies, then went fishing!!

What a southern county boy!! Ha! Love it!

I'm so very thankful my baby made it to a new healthy year and beyond grateful to have him in our lives!! Hunter is such a blessing to us all and we couldn't ask for a better son!

 

Here's to a new year, new phases and lots of great memories!!

 

Love you baby boy and Happy 5th Birthday!!!! Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of you!!!

 ~~~

All whipped out.... 

      **Milestones**

Here are some things he's into these days:

guns, four-wheelers, action figures, super hero's, loves his boots. riding his bike, fishing, swimming, playing his leapster frog, hot wheels, guitars, drums any instrument,reading books, coloring, very good at drawing,

 

He enjoys playing "baby/baby" with mommy (a game we play where he pretends to be the baby and I the mommy ha)

He loves to jam out to rock music or just dance in general (he loves B.G!!) I wonder why. ha.

Likes to make all kinds of aggravating sound effects with his trucks, grr.. ha.

when he toots he laughs, lol

He comes up with some really great stories and he LOVES to talk, and talk, and talk!!!

Every time we tuck him in bed he runs his mouth after we've told him goodnight numerous times.

His new thing these day's is when he's talking he's says, I'm serious mom, really, I'm not kidding. ha

He loves to say something then says, I'm just kidding.

He doesn't listen very well when he's told to do something, we are ALWAYS having to repeat everything we ask at least 10 times before he's threatened.

He uses his manners VERY WELL!! Yes ma'am, no ma'am, please, thank you.. so very sweet!!

He loves my hugs and kisses, but lately he's told me a time or too, no Mommy I don't want kisses.. :( makes me sad.

He's been a smart ellic lately, very much so!!.. If i say something like, Hunter don't hit that car with the car door, he says, Mom that's not a car that's a truck.. ugh, well excuse me!! ha

He's in a size 5T/Small boy, wears a size 13-size1 shoe, his stuffed animals are wolf, panda, (he's growing out of his stuffed animals but still fiddles with a tag here and there)

He still doesnt' wash his body just yet, I try to tell him to do it himself but he's always saying he can't, which I know he can!! Testing me!

Same goes for getting dress from time to time, he whimpers about that.

No lose teeth yet, which he's been patiently waiting on the tooth fairy. ha.

He's 40 inches tall and weighs 40.

still loves them chicken nuggets!

He has a heart for Jesus Christ, lately he's been talking about Jesus a LOT, Jesus is bigger than anyone, Jesus sees us all the time, he loves us, he says, Mommy you are not my boss, daddy is, then I reply no Mommy and Daddy are both your boss, then he says but Jesus is the boss of all of us. ha. love him!

 

The Lord is growing so much in our little boy and we are so very Thankful for God's love and what he does for us each and every day!!

Love ya tootabugs!!!

You'll thank me someday for capturing hear silly moments!! Ha!

 

Oh the joys of the selfie a at this age ha!!
