So as I have said Ian went hunting Sunday. As they made there way out to the woods they seen some cows. My dad told Ian that since the cows were up and moving and eating that it meant the deer would also be moving. Well they didn't see any deer that day and Ian tells my dad "I didn't know cows could lie." Oh that boy what am I going to do with him.

A Day I Have Dreaded

Well they day has finally came and gone a day that I have dreaded for 7 years the day

Ian goes

Hunting!!!

My dad has been looking forward to this day for 7 years. The day he would have a boy to take hunting. I have a brother but much to my dads dismay he doesn't like hunting. Ian has been looking forward to this day to and it made me very nervous. I don't like guns and I don't like the idea of my baby out in the woods with people with guns. So Sunday we got all his hunting stuff together and after we ate lunch at my parents house off him and my dad went into the woods. Me and my mom took him out to the truck and it was like we were sending him off to war. I went over the rules with him about never never ever touching the gun and other stuff I wanted and needed to say. My dad said they would be back before dark because he didn't want Ian to get bored. Well night fall came and they were not home and I was getting nervous so I called my mom and she told me they were pulling up in the drive way and they would bring him home. Ian had a good time and wants to go back. I was hoping that he would hate it but that doesn't look like it will be the case. I guess I have to let go and let my little man grow up and do these big boy things with his papaw. You should of seen him walking out to the truck to go hunting he acted so big like he was just a grown man. It was so cute and sad at the same time. I hate that my baby has to grow up. I have a funny story about his hunting trip but I will wait for

Ok so here are 7 things about me.


1- I am very cheap! I hate to spend money and I guess that is a good thing since I don't have much.


2- I have never drove over the bridge that connects Arkansas to Mississippi. I have been over the bridge many times. We go to Mississippi every Friday but my husband always drives. I don't mind when he drives but can't bring myself to drive over it. I don't like the fact that I can't go anywhere. It is at least a couple of miles long and very narrow. I guess I will go over the new bridge it will be 4 lane.


3- I almost died 7 weeks after Bradon was born. The doctor left placenta in me and well lets just say my house and driveway looked like someone had been shot. I really didn't think I was going to make it to the hospital I lost so much blood.


4- Sometimes I think I want another baby.


5- I hate my legs! Way to skinny and I never wear shorts it has been 8 years since I have wore shorts or a short skirt.


6- I have never had a cavity or had a tooth pulled and I have never been to the dentist. It is my biggest fear! I guess that is maybe why I have been blessed with good teeth. I am going to go next year and have my teeth cleaned.


7- My middle name is Ann :)


Here are my 5 links. Sorry don't have 7 to list. Go check out these great blogs.

Harvest Fest and Pumpkin Time

Well we took the kids to the Harvest Fest Saturday and it was so cold!!! It wouldn't have been so bad if the wind wasn't blowing. They had a good time on all the bouncy house things. To bad our wallet couldn't say the samething. We ran into my 7th grade science teacher at the Harvest Fest. When I seen her I didn't say anything because well I didn't think she would remember me. When she say me she says "hey do you remember me?" I was like yeah but I didn't think you would remember me. She was a great teacher and hasn't changed a bit even after all these years. Well here are some pictures of all the bouncy house fun!







They had a dog show at the Harvest Fest and Ian wanted to bring Lady but it was very last minute when he decided that. I told him he needs to teach Lady a trick and next year he could put her in the dog show. Lets face it Lady can't do much. She eats real well and she can talk to hubby when he barks at her. It is the funniest thing she gets all beside herself when they are barking at each other. Yes that is right people my husband barks at the dog! Don't judge lol. She would also do well in competitive staring. This is what she did today for the longest time when hubby went down to his parents house. She is a odd little dog.



Then we came home and it was pumpkin time!! Hubby carved a pumpkin and Ian carved one. Well really what happened it Ian picked out what he wanted his pumpkin to look like and then I did all the other work. They came out real good. Oh in the picture we are carving the pumpkins in the living room floor because I didn't want heavy pumpkins on my glass table in the kitchen and the kitchen floor was way to cold.

Halloween Past

I thought I would post some pictures of Halloween past. I know I have said it before but I do love Halloween. The kids have picked out their costumes and Ian is going as well humm let me see I really don't know what he is. He has a black hooded cape thing with a mean looking pumpkin face. Bradon is going as a lion. He is not happy about this, but oh well I paid for the costume so that will be what he goes as. Everytime I bring out the costume he runs away and says he doesn't like it. Well he said he wanted to go as a cat so to bad now. He will just be one unhappy little lion on Halloween. So here we go back in time to Halloween Past.

Fields of Cotton

Many things are grown in fields where I live. We have soybean, rice, corn, and some fish farms but my favorite has to be cotton.





It just looks like fields and fields of snow. Of course I wish the area looked like that now blue skies and everything but that is not the case. I can't tell you the last time it didn't rain. It seems like for the last 2 weeks or so has been nothing but rain and storms. My hubby heard today that we have gotten around 10 inches of rain and I can believe that. A lot of farmers mainly cotton farmers are taking a total loss on their fields. If you have ever been to Arkansas or anywhere in the Delta you know that all we have are fields so I hate that all this rain if effecting so many people. Our yards goes from looking like a lake to now a mudd hole. For Thursday we have a 80 percent chance of rain. I was hoping that it would stop long enough for us to take the kids to the pumpkin patch this Saturday but it is not looking good. It doesn't look like it will rain that day but the fields are still going to be so wet their will be no way we can go out on the tractor and get a pumpkin and that is if all the pumpkins are still good from all this rain.
RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!
