I love my little baby boy so much! He has grown up in the blink of an eye! Josh and I were amazed at all the words and sentences he was saying this weekend. He loves those pickles so much, he really trying to butter me up to give him more... he grabbed my leg and looked up at me so seriously, gibbered some stuff and said pickle and said UH HU MOMMA and smiled... like "give it to me!" ha! I laughed so hard. He is counting to TEN if I haven't said that already! ;) I'll say it again and I don't care. I DO think my kid is so smart! He also loooooves to dance. Dancin' machine! We are taking him to see a live band Friday night at a friend of ours house.. he is having a big bday bash.. kiddies welcome ;) 

Last Friday night a few of us girls went to the fashion show in Fort Smith...we ate at Rolando's first.. that was the best part of the night heehee! 

Sweet ladies!

So last week Josh was gone to Kansas turkey hunting. He had a blast and killed him some turkeys! That’s what I had for dinner and lunch today ha! Good stuff. While he was gone, I had a rough week. Kinda. Lola, my poor little doggy was sick. I’m not sure what’s worse – sick dog or sick kid!? It was miserable. Anyway, she is feeling better.

Thursday night was the Luke Bryan concert! OMG so much fun! I love that good lookin’ man! Mmmm mmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a blast! Friday Josh came home and we got in bed early and was ready for turkey hunting in AR Saturday morning. Josh wasn’t lucky – probably because I bumped him out of his sweet spot where he has been seeing and hearing them HA! Oh the things he does for his wife ;) Me, Mike, and Lance took off after a bird we had located – we would have been done at 7:00 am…but we were a bench too high and busted him off the roost. Dangit. So needless to say, we had to chase him for a good part of the morning. At one point I was trying to keep up with Mike and we were in a dead sprint through the woods… I started laughing out loud, so hard, it was just hilarious to me! I guess that running paid off though! Mike snuck up on it before I could and that turkey seen him so he had to take a shot. I’m pretty much hooked. It is way more fun than deer hunting...action packed and much more my pace HA! I am looking for a babysitter this Tues & Wed so I can go?!?! haha!

My mom and Russell are in Florida right now. They are celebrating their birthdays (today and tomorrow)! LUCKY! She is sending me pictures and videos. I wish I was there! I need to plan a vaca!

The rest of our weekend was lazy….we stopped by little miss H’s bday party at the last minute.. I was so tired but I knew Jake wanted to see some friends ;) haha! He had fun jumping on the trampoline … so sweet. That’s our next investment.

Jake is growing so fast. He is saying his ABC’s even when he is lying in his crib… I can hear him on the monitor LOL! He is counting to 5 with no help. So dang sweet. He counts the “bak bak’s” (aka chickens) out the window… I pray he is smarter than me! haha! School was not my thing.

This week is already busy and today has definitely been a Monday. I’m so ready to go HOME!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Luke Bryan Concert! 

 love this girl! 

AND I LOVE THIS MAN! HA!

 Awesome show!!!

OK - so we took Jake to try his first Mountain-burger at the good ole' Dairy Dump - I pretty much grew up here in the summers! He loved it too! ;)

Josh and Chancy the first morning in Kansas - they killed more later that day! I can't wait to go next!

Opening day - the bird we RAN after! ;) FUN FUN STUFF! 101/2 " beard

Fast week!

This week is almost over… and I am going to blog about some of the week before. So Josh was gone ALL week. First time he’s left since Jake was born. We made it – and we had lots of fun doing stuff – but I was READY for him to be home by Thursday. Majorly! Ha! The stress hit me real hard all that day. The day after we seen Elmo, we went to the nature center… it was a lot of fun. Mom took me and Jake and we fished some then went inside and let Jake run wild through the building, he was running from one spot to another, pushing buttons to hear animal noises, looking at all the snakes and hissing at them. It was too cute. He had a blast. Josh got home Friday night and we were so happy to see him! All weekend we worked in the yard. Speaking of snakes earlier… Josh killed a huge rattle snake in our driveway/road. Yea – scary. It had 13 rattlers. HUGE snake. I’m watching my step 10x closer and not letting Jake out of my sight.

This week has been BUSY! Working and stuff going on every day! We’ve had 3 loads of gravel come in to start building a drive way. It’s a skinny road for now… haha trying to build a base and then we will add more later. Josh has mulched around some trees. It’s starting to look good around there. No other landscaping yet or flowers or anything. That may come later down the road. Next project – GARAGE! I can NOT wait.

Lots of fun things going on this weekend. Friday night is a girls night/party at one of my sweet friend’s house. She is having Suite One come there and bring their clothes so we can shop, food, drinks, and shellac nail polish! Woohoo! Stoked! Saturday just hanging around the house and getting ready for Easter, which will be held at my house this year. Easter just happens to fall on Josh’s birthday too – so we are going to party big! ;)

Jake has been repeating everything! So funny! He is saying ABC’s and counting a lot! He’s a smart boy ;) love him so much!

Happy Easter everyone!
