Pictures from the Wedding

JD cried through the wedding so Chad had to take him riding in the car. Then he slept through the reception.

Married

Well Kim is officially married. We are back from the wedding. We all had a good time. It is early in the morning. I will post pictures later.

Roadhouse, Paper Eater, and Coon Club

What is it about Roadhouse? Just about every guy I know loves the movie Roadhouse. You know the one with Patrick Swayze and the bar and all the fighting. Well it was on today and JD in true manly fashion lunged at the TV like it was his new best friend. He saw the big monster truck in it and crawled as fast as he could over to the TV and pulled up and started talking to and patting the TV.



Also, JD has turned into a paper eater. He can find paper anywhere no matter how small it is. He will quickly put it in his mouth and try to eat it. I always know what he is doing because he acts sneaky. He will sit with his back to me and shove it in his mouth as fast as he can before I see him. If I say anything he will scream, laugh, and try to crawl away from me before I can pull it out of his mouth.



Chad and Corey Jeffries are starting a coon club in Dyersburg. There used to be one a long time ago and Chad has many fond memories of it. His dad was the president. This is a place where the hunters can get together and tell tales, show off their dogs, and hunt together. Sometimes they even have coon suppers. Chad tried to start it back when we first dating but he got tired of doing all the work. He even got me and Anna to eat some BBQ coon.

Oh, that reminds me about a month ago we went to homecoming at the church in Chic. They were having a potluck dinner. As I was filling up my plate Chad's sister pointed to her roast she brought and said, "Cindy, you might want to get some of mine because you never know what the other dishes are made out of!" Meaning??? I wonder this as I stare at my plate. Coon?? Squirrel?? Deer??

Ode to Trigger

Trigger how I love you. Let me count the ways. As most of you know Trigger is my horse and really really old. She is somewhere around 30 years old. If she had papers we would know! Trigger has been around longer than almost everyone Chad, Anna, Katie and has outlived many pets Frisky, Major, Scout. I could go on. We bought her 21 years ago. Can you believe that! To me it is amazing that my children are learning to ride on my childhood horse. It just makes me teary eyed to think about it.

Working at the Pumpkin Patch

Well we have worked the pumpkin patch several times at the church. After buying everything the first time Lexie has gotten bored with it and now wants to stay with Little Mama. JD is still loving it and wants to crawl around everywhere if you do not keep him in his car. Then her proceeds to try to eat everything in site. He is just an outdoor baby, he loves it. Yesterday, JD and I manned the pumpkin patch alone

This was the tractor that almost gave JD whiplash trying to look at it!

This is JD trying to eat straw. He looks at it first and talks to it like he is saying, "Get in my belly!"

Trip to Mimi's house and her Shower

This weekend Little Mama, Lexie, JD, and I went to Mimi's house for her wedding shower. We got there Saturday and went shopping with Kim to get some things for a party for her backyard. I also needed to get an outfit for JD to wear because we were getting our pictures made. Let me tell you if you have never been shopping with a 3 year old and an 8 month old it is pure chaos. To tell you the truth I think chaos follows us around. Nothing is easy! I'm not saying that is bad because we have alot of fun.

Sunday we got ready and went to her shower which was a double shower because Katie (Brandon's twin sister) is getting married too. It is a double wedding. Lexie met two girls and tried to play with them, they were 4 and 7, but the 4 year old (the one on the right) was very mean and snotty to Lexie. Think girls in middle school. She would run to the couch and tell Lexie she couldn't get on it or try to hide from her. I gave her a dirty look well not dirty but stern and she just said, "Yeah, we're mean." I said to her, "Well, she is my daughter so you better be nice." This did not faze her because later mama caught her hitting Lexie on the head. What is it in girls makeup that makes them snotty? I hope hope hope Lexie does not act like that. Oh her mom never said anything!! Kim said she is adopted and they never say anything to her.

After the shower, we went and got Kim's bridal portraits done. Mom wanted us and the kids together so we took some of them too. JD wasn't very happy and Lexie acted awful and got a trip to the bathroom with mom ( if you know what I mean) but we got them done and they turned out good. I will try to post one on here if I can later.

Monday we bought mums for Kim's house and helped her put them out. Then it was time to come home.

Fall Break

Well today is officially the first day of our fall break. I can't believe it is that time of year. Our pumpkin have arrived at the church! I have been staying up late sewing Lexie and my 3 little nieces halloween outfits. This is my first attempt at sewing. My mom could not believe that I didn't know how to sew my sister knows how but she asked me where I was when she was teaching Kim. I told her that me and Anna were probably out back playing in creek or riding something. Anyways she taught me so I am getting the hang of it. It helps that she has a good sewing machine too. Here is a picture of the outfits all the girls got that look alike and Lexie's other outfit.
