Happy Birthday Babe!

December 21st was James' birthday! What where his parents thinking???? A birthday 4 days before Christmas...they weren't. Ha! Ha!
He is spoiled rotten! He got lots of Under Armour & Nike clothes (His Fav.), Tools, Barnes & Noble gift cards, much need church shirts and an awesome Redneck Flag! Gotta love it!
He is such an AMAZING MAN here are a few reasons (seriuos and funny) of why I can't imagine my life without him....

He can do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING and makes it look so simple (except swim)
During the week he is a TOTAL business man and on weekends he transforms into one of
his million hobbies...riding his dirtbike, hunting everything, backpacking/hiking, golf, RC cars, reloading, jeepin', being a red neck etc....etc....etc...
He loves clothes more than me these day.....His side of the closet his fuller than mine
He has a magnetic personality and sense of humor
There is never a dull moment in our house
He has recently read the entire series of Twilight books while sitting on the toilet....
He ALWAYS puts me and the boys first, He is a TERRIFIC father, teacher and friend
to the boys.
He is my ROCK!!
I love you Babe! Happy 34th Birthday!

Hit by a DRUNK DRIVER...ouch!

I stole the following post from Lindsey's blog.......
It has been a crazy past few days. On Thursday Dec. 4 my best friend, Jen and I were driving on I-15 heading southbound into Green Valley. We were hit from behind by a drunk driver who was speeding (going about 85 or 90). We were going along when she clipped the back drivers side of my car and sent us into a tail spin across the freeway. Before we knew what had happened the car flipped on it's side. We were in shock, frantically trying to get out of the car. All I could think of was getting out of the car "before it blew up." (I think I have seen too many movies.) Many people stopped to help, which I was very grateful for. We walked away with only a few bruises and "cervical strains", better known as whiplash. After I cussed out the drunk drivers, we went to the hospital to get checked out. It was a long night but, I am so grateful that we were okay, this could of ended much worse. I know there were Angels there watching over us! I am so blessed that I didn't lose my best friend Jen and that we both came home to our beautiful children and our wonderful husbands. Life is so Fragile. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for protecting us, keeping us safe through this very scary incident. You just never know when life can change, it can be in a blink of an eye. I hope that you all know how much I love you and how blessed I am to have a great family and many great friends.
*I want Jen to know how much I love her. I don't know what I would do without her in my life, and I am so glad she is okay!

You never know what's going to happen to you when you walk out your door. Lindsey and I are so lucky and thankful that we where being watched over that night. This is the first major accident that either of us have been and it makes me realize not to take for granted what a Wonderful life I have. I have an AMAZING husband, Terrific kids and Great Friends.
On a funny note...Not only did Lindsey cuss out the drunk stripper (Yes! Stripper from LV) and the passenger that hit us, She shocked James, which takes allot. He told her that he didn't think she knew those kinds of words...lol

Lindsey, You are such a BEAUTIFUL person! I am so lucky that you insisted that BIG & FAT pregnant Ol' ME and You, my new neighbor be friends. I love you and thanks for always being there for me! Your the BEST!
Pictures of her car are on her blog http://brennonandlindsey.blogspot.com/

Motocross Madness...

The last few weekends we have been out riding our dirt bikes. It is the perfect time to ride now that it's not blazzin' HOT. Hunter is getting ready to take his motorcycle class so that he can ride "legally" on public land....hate that law. It's a $90.00 ticket if they are under 8 yrs old or haven't taken the course. Anyway..we all love it. Dave (adopted son) just got a bike and he is now addicted as much as we are.

Traditional Thanksgiving

We have the FUNNEST Thanksgivings..Thanks to my AMAZING MOTHER! For those of you that know my Mom know how she makes ALL celebrations something to remember. She is always coming up with new traditions and she always goes WAY WAY WAY above & beyond to make it fun.

Last year for Thanksgiving she decided that we where going to have a Traditional Thanksgiving and cook all most EVERYTHING out side in the fire pit in the dutch ovens.... YUMMY!

AND dress up like pilgrim's...Hunter, Hayes & Jarrett where the Indians.

(Last Year Pictures)
We have a program about the pilgrim that consists of singing, lighting a candle before dinner and blowing out at the end, gratitude platter, etc....
Needless to say it was AMAZING..we all loved it...and it has now become a Family Tradition.
We did it again this year and had just as much fun. James, Jarrett & I dressed up like Indians because Hunter & Hayes where with Chris this year.
Thanks Mom for always making everything such a blast!

Happy Birthday...HUNTER!

November 30th Hunter turned 8! The years have flown by so fast. What he wanted 4 his birthday was a Remote Controlled TRAXXAS Monster Truck....that runs on Gas and goes up to 45 mph....We seen these at the airshow last month and that's all he could talked about.
For his birthday party on Tuesday we went to Jumpin' Jacks, had a blast and then back home for dinner and gifts....while a Jumpin' Jacks Hunter tells me he doesn't feel so good and he is white as a ghost..sure enough he had the flu. He could hardly open his gifts...poor kiddo. But over all he had a great birthday and was spoiled rotten....as always.

8 THINGS About Hunter
1. He is the BEST big brother.
2. He has the BIGGEST and Softest HEART.
3. His Big green Eyes and Amazing LONG eyelashes melt your heart
4. He LoVes Tacos
5. Loves riding his motorcycle
6. He always wants to know "whats for dessert mom?"
7. Loves playing games..MONOPOLY is his favorite.
8. He would sleep with his new TRAXXAS monster truck if I would let him.
