Straight to the point.

Lucas is only 3 and is still learning to distinguish between what he CAN say, and SHOULDN'T say. This is so minor, but it cracked me up!

A lady in the Target parking lot saw Lucas and said to him, "Hey cutie!" He responded, "Hey, you need to wash your car."

Awesome.

Free Christmas Cards? No really...

I love, love, love to send out Christmas cards every year. I love to receive them even more. The entire month of December I stalk the darn mailbox. I can't be the only one, right? It's the little things people.

Well, my favorite photo sharing site, Shutterfly, is giving away 50 FREE Christmas cards to bloggers. Yes, please! I can't decide if I want to have several pictures of the kids on them, or one big picture... but the possibilities are endless! Their cards are so precious. All of them, but of course I have my favorites:
I have been using Shutterfly for over 3 years, and have had nothing but wonderful experiences and quality products from them. Another of our favorite things are the cute photo books. We have made these for Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays, you name it. It is especially great if you wish you had the time to scrapbook, but don't.
Wall calendars make wonderful Christmas presents. They also have desk calendars if you prefer. What a unique gift and so inexpensive. I just may be doing these for grandparents this year... (hope they aren't reading this)...
They also have address labels to match the card of your choice! AHH! I can't wait to get mine and send them out ASAP! Now I just have to pick the perfect photo. This may take a while...

How crazy would you be to NOT sign up for this? If you blog and would like to receive 50 free cards, sign up here: http://bit.ly/sfly2010.

High on the hill was a lonely goatherd

My Nanny and Pawpaw got 2 goats a while ago, and now they have a whole herd. Those things multiply quick. They have 3 babies, and we went to check them out yesterday afternoon. The grey one I am holding was my favorite. His name is Boots.

I cannot for the life of me remember the black ones name, but he was cute too. They all were precious. My kids love going to their house. I swear, it is like an episode of American Pickers. We always leave with a car load. Cagney just rolls his eyes. I came home with some antiques this time. I have a sled that I cannot WAIT to put out at Christmas!

This white one is actually the grey ones twin. Her name is Betsy. Boots and Betsy. I love it!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!

Just another day....

This is my music loving 3 year old having fun on the slide. I am totally not kidding when I say he is going to turn out just like his dad. He loves music, has 3 guitars, and already wants to play football. I said no to the football thing for a couple more years, for now we are sticking to t-ball, he is only 3. We are pretty hooked on Garth Brooks right now, and borrowed my dad's box set. Lucas' new favorite song is Rodeo, and let me tell you, we know ALL the words already.... (insert eye roll). Between that and having completely memorized Toy Story 3 already, I think I am set for a while.



This is pretty much all Blake does. He is completely consumed with hunting, and the poor kid never gets to go. None of the men in our family hunt, except my dad and he does not go very often at all. For Christmas he has asked for: A new bow, extra arrows, a camo hunting tent, a deer target, lots of camo clothes, night vision goggles, and some new coveralls. I think we may be making some calls to nanny and pawpaw soon so we can go "hunt" at their house. He shot a bird the other day in the front yard. A song bird, that he shot just to show off. It made me sad. Am I just a sap, or is this a boy thing? My husband and brother-in-law assure me they used to do this as well. Broke my heart though.

(Don't worry guys, it's a pellet gun, I don't let him play in the yard with rifles).


On another note, I am a grandma! Never thought I would be one at such an early age, but Glory made me a granny for the second time. She had 7 babies last Monday. SEVEN. One didn't make it. :(


They take after their father.

Luke's Nativity Story

Somehow I don't remember Mary being in the back of a monster truck....
