Thanksgiving Weekend 2010

This Thanksgiving was wonderful as usual. Busy as ever. We had three places to go this year. First stop was my nannys, which was the only place I took the camera out of the car even. Bad mama, I know. It was a busy day. Above is my daddy, nanny, and my Uncle Rog- WAIT! I mean Uncle Stacey. (inside joke) :)

Wonderful Thanksgiving! That night? I never went to bed. My sister and I hit up WalMart around 10 to get some of the 12:01 deals. Worth it because I finished Lucas completely. Blake? Still working on him. We stood in line outside Target from about 1:30, til they opened at 4. My mom, Denise, Courtnee, and BFF Amanda met us there. Luckily we did NOT get cussed out when they entered the line. I got everything I went in for! Scored a dual screen DVD player for the car for 85 bucks! Guess which kids will be opening this early since we leave for Gatlinburg on the 9th? MINE! I also scored some other things, but shouldn't say just now since certain people read this blog. Not a lot of people, but SOME do. Shocker! :)

(It's going to drive that few of you crazy isn't it??) NA NA NA BOO BOO!

I came home Saturday morning after breakfast at iHop and crashed around 8 am! Thanks to my dad and wonderful father-in-law for taking one kid each so I could sleep til about 2 o'clock!

The next day we put up the Christmas decor. The boys handled the outdoors, while I put everything up inside. They came in that afternoon so we could all decorate the tree.

Blake pretty much did this the entire time. Glory had six puppies and they are 5 weeks now, so he loves to play with them. This is the sweetest pic.

Looking good there Sparky! (Those of you close to me will totally realize how appropriate that was! HAHA!)
I just wanted a pic of him in his Carhartts. Because it's cute. And he is the cutest Stud muffin on the planet. True story...
He made me a nervous wreck.
Welp, Sunday, Cag and Luke played outside and I watched a lot of FA LA LA LA Lifetime. I will post some pics of the inside later. :)

First hunting trip!

Bubba and Lucas waiting for pawpaw to come and pick Blake up for his first hunting trip. He was so excited! Blake is totally consumed by hunting, we are even redoing his room in January to look like a "hunting lodge" as he put it. I am more excited about that than him!

LOVE this picture!! My dad was so glad to take him, and Blake was beyond excited to go! He actually saw a deer and my dad brushed it off until he saw the tail end of it running away! He said he will never doubt Mr. Observant Blake again! HA!

Blake in the woods with his pellet gun. Maybe as he gets a little more experienced, he will get something a little more powerful. Oh Lord help us! LOL

In the Christmas spirit...

Look what showed up in our front yard the other day. She walked around for a good ten minutes, even with cars driving by. Blake was totally mesmerized. We see a lot of deer around here, just a couple days before this a doe crossed the road in front of the house and a fawn was right behind her. Precious! Wish I would have had my camera then!

OK, all of my beautiful Fall decor is going back in the bins today. If I am lucky I will get my husband to help me put the tree up tonight. I love Christmas decor and I think it's okay to put it up before Thanksgiving since so much work goes into it! This weekend we will do the outside lights! WOOHOO!

Christmas has got to be the best holiday yet! Who doesn't get excited about celebrating our Lord and Savior? Well if you don't, you should! ;)

"Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinkin' and just have fun." -The Sandlot

We had the banquet for Blake's Fall baseball team last weekend. Which happens to also be the first team that Cag coached. His brother helped, and they had another wonderful assistant coach that could not make it that night. We had it at the local pizza place. I think all in all it was a success!
What a proud mama. Cag's mom kept score for us this season and was very proud of her two boys, as well as the team.
Here's to a wonderful Fall season, and looking forward to Spring already! Go Bulldogs!

(This place was a horrible place to take pictures, as if you couldn't tell.)

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.
