Field Trip with Peyton!

Last Thursday I went on a field trip with Peyton to Chattanooga! We left super early that morning and returned super late that night! It was a fun day! He really surprised me because he told me ahead of time he wasn’t going to sit with me on the bus. I have to sit in the front to keep from being sick(still doesn’t work) and he wanted to sit in the back with his friends! WELL, when we got on the bus his “girlfriend” was sitting up front and had saved him a seat!!! He politely turned down his friends and sat with her! OH.MY. We went to Ruby Falls, ate lunch on the Riverboat, rode the Incline(FREAKY), went to Point Park and the Battles for Chattanooga Museum. I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures because 5th Graders. If you’ve ever had one you know that 30 something of them = WHEW.

OH. One more thing. When we were in the actual falls area of Ruby Falls, I didn’t stay close long because my hair was getting wet. It’s a large area so the parents kind of let the kids up front. Well, when that part was over and Peyton started walking back towards me he was holding Girlfriends HAND! WHAT? As in, the way the Hubs and I hold hands!!! Her mom was there also and we about died. Right there.

I can’t even.

It was a fun day!

New Farm Friends!

I think I may have a problem. I love ALL the animals. They are so cute and fun and cuddly. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

Our Doberman, Niko, passed away last Friday. He was around 8 or 9 and before he came to live with us probably didn’t have the best life. Their life span is only around 10 years, so we figure it was probably old age.

The kids were out of school that day and Reece was with me at work when I found out. We were both pretty bummed. (She was way more upset) I decided we needed a happy and so off to the pet store we went!

We left with this guy…

Meet Peter!

At first she named him RICK! HA! He’s so cute and soft! He loves to be held and we all are doing our best to hold him all the time!

Side note: when we were in the pet store they signed me up for some type of savings card or something. They got my normal info and then she asked, “what type of animal do you own?” I laughed and started naming them off, “dogs, cat, chickens, ducks, goats and now a bunny!” HA!

I have been looking for a male Pygmy Goat for some time now. About a week ago I found one on Craigslist, but he was 2 hours away! I talked it over with the hubs and we decided that Sunday afternoon would be a perfect road trip day! So, off we went, in the Paw Paw truck! (Yes, I call it that in real life!)(YES, he has a passy. YES, you can judge. NO, I don’t care!)      

Meet Jack!I wonder what the girls are thinking here?!! Haha!

Hopefully, in the next year or so, we’ll have GOAT BABIES!

Celebrating Brooks!

On Saturday, we celebrated our sweet boy with a Barnyard Birthday Bash! He had the best time and so did we! LOTS of his friends came, I think we ended up with 18 kids there! They were all able to take a boat ride, feed the ducks and fish, pet and feed a cow, pigs, goats, chicks, mice, rabbits, horses, chickens, sheep, a llama, bottle feed baby pigs, ride a pony…I think that’s about it! He had a wonderful time!

Before I get to party pictures, on his actual birthday we took Brooks cupcakes to school for him and his little friends and then out to eat that night! On to party pics!  

He knew EXACTLY how to feed this little piggy!

      

Petting the chicks… “Ms. Kami, that chick doesn’t go on your head!”    HAHAHA!    Y’all! THIS CAKE!!! Perfection…inside and out!

  He loves it when you sing “Happy Birthday” to him!

Help from Daddy! And then it was present time! We had such a great time celebrating our B!

Happy Birthday Brooks!

Brooks is TWO years old today! Seriously, time flies! He has left the “baby” stage and turned into a full blown 2 year old! And all that goes with it. He is a mess!

He LOVES gummies, cars(he said, “vroom, vroom” in his sleep the other night!), tractors, bubbles, balls, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, running away from us as fast as possible at the ballpark and lots of other little boy things! :)

Here he is this morning… And last night at the ballpark climbing the fence!

Happy Happy Birthday B! We love you SO much!

Here comes the Bride!

My baby sister got hitched on Saturday!!! Eeekkss! It was a beautiful wedding and everything went according to plan, which was fabulous since there was an almost TWO year old in the wedding party! ;)

I wanted to share a few pictures, I’m sure there will be more once the photographer finishes! Reece was the flower girl, Brooks was the ring bearer, I was the matron of honor and Griffin and Peyton were escorts!

Rehearsal…

  RIGHT before walking down the isle!   A few from the photographer!   Y’ALL!!!! I don’t have words. He was the sweetest little man. He walked down the isle holding my hand with a mouth full of gummy bears. I could eat his face! Little Bro officiated! He did fantastic!The ending of a long day! Another one in the books for me and Hubby! Yes, I changed shoes! :)
