Home with my Boys

After almost a week in Houston for work I couldn't wait to hug on my boys. Justin and I picked them up at school together on Friday. They both looked like they grew an inch since I saw them.

Belle Isle Babe

Look who shot her first deer! Get 'em YaYa!

Celebrating YaYa

(Change date) Ryker spent the weekend at the beautiful island for yaya Birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! you are the best!

Hudson stayed with Miss Lori and Ms Betty while we traveled to Bama beat LSU at home. Boo! Good news? Got some great pics from the camp and tailgates. I could not wait to get my hands on the boys when I got home!

Woody and Friends

Justin left us to go hunting so we played at the house all weekend. I think I succeeded wearing them out. Hudson loved the double stroller! Now we just all have to go somewhere!

You Get What You Get

When Ryker wanted a bandaid and I brought him a Toy Story one instead of a Superhero one, like he wanted, I said to him 'you are getting the one I brought you'.  To which he responds 'you get what you get and won't pitch a fit'.  Yes! Well, I guess they are teaching him basic life lessons at school.

My boys!

It's been a rough week. Hudson had to be brought home early from school Friday (3rd time in a week and a half), so apparently we still have some work to do getting these bugs out. With daddy heading to the hunting camp and Lovey in Houston, we will be laying low all weekend.

Mamma spend a good bit of the day at our house Saturday. We worked on getting on Halloween costumes ready for Wednesday - homemade capes! She also made it possible for me to take Ryker to Michaels for arts and crafts projects and Hudson to the grocery - both easier with only one boy in tow!

Sunday morning we dressed Hudson in Ryker's old chick costume. Got some good laughs! Daddy came home around noon and we enjoyed the beautiful day outside - Ryker in the sand box and Hudson in everything else!

Hudson seems to be doing much better and will be attempting school tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

(need to add pics. It's not working!)

It's Fall Y'all

After a few days inside trying to get the (stomach) bugs out, we needed to take our jammies off and get some fresh air.  Off to the pumpkin patch...'cause that's what you do in the fall. 

Following this little outing, Ryker wanted a hamburger and he wanted to eat it inside McDonalds.  Not a great idea when you are attempting to remove the germs!  My anxiety in that play area was real. 

Belle Isle Boys

All weekend away with the big boys - a first.  They shot the second biggest and oldest deer on the property at 220 lbs.  Lovey thinks the picture sent is proof that Ryker wants to come home and is "wondering why Papa Chet killed Bambi".  While Papa Chet brags that , "He is all into the program. He has been a bigboy taking it all in!"  

My favorite quote from the weekend came from Ryker on Sunday.  I was trying to get some scoop and asked him if he saw any animals at the camp.  He tells me, "I saw a deer.  But they shot it and it was dead (pouty lip)."  He thought for a little bit as I stayed silent.  Then he added, "But it's ok, because you eat the brown part.  Not the blue part though. Just the brown part.  It's good."  I have no idea what the blue part is either.  I'm just glad my angel is home safe! 

Hudson, you and I had fun too! We laughed A LOT.   And when you are 3 1/2, you will be hunting in Belle Isle with the boys too. Promise.

 

 

Knot Afraid

Our own little "Monster". He has No fear. He's head first every time. He's aggressive and ambitious and all boy. There is a new scratch, knot, bump and bruise every day. I guess we are both getting tougher...
