H5 happenings lately

Thanksgiving day I'm in my room making the bed and I her Mauri and Rhett all excited and in amazement saying... Can I shoot him up? Daddy I want to give him a shot with that needle can I? I had to come to the kitchen to see what was going on and walked in to this

Mauri shooting up the turkey with guidance from her Daddy

 

 

 Rhett had a turn also

these two were in amazement of this process

this picture warms my heart and talk about thankful

 

Mauri and I being silly

 

I took this little boy hunting and oh my he cant be still to save his life,

quality time I tell ya

 

Mauri is finally old enough to play pee wee basketball and she loves it,

Her first game was Saturday and she is already asking when the next one is

Shooting her 2 free throws from drawing in a shooting foul

 

She was focused and determined it was so much fun watching her play.

Even though she doesn't have size it doesn't stop her hustle

 

 When she wasn't on the wing she was point guard

Her smiling from ear to ear while on the court melted my heart

 

When you live an hour away from town its a must that you take full advantage in your trip

so Starbucks salted caramel frap it was. Hair day and coffee = a good day.



If you Build it they will come....& Thanksgiving Break

 While we are still trying to finish the barn we decided to take on 2 more projects: building a riding arena and also an new farm office. The Panels arrived last Friday and the Farmer has been getting loads of sand hauled in since the spring so now it is fixing to take shape and actually come together. Maci is extremely happy and the other 2 are as well. Once the panels are up and set we will then have to get lights, timers, and sound system for Maci jams. HaHa She wants to plug in her iPod and ride.
      The sand has been placed and now waiting on the panels to be set up and secured. We are so excited!

                           Rhett had to help his Daddy and this was right down his alley!

Our office is at the shop a 2 miles down from our house but this year a lot of stealing has been going on in our neck of the woods and so far we have been really lucky. They haven't broke into the office yet but have took batteries from tractors and motors to power units and air compressor out of a farm truck. We have decided that our office needs to be where we are so we are building one behind our house beside the barn. It will not only be safer but alot easier. All we will have to do is walk over instead of driving

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and even better Thanksgiving holiday! 

I will be taking this week off from blogging so I can devote it to my children since they are out of school.

Also with the holiday approaching and Thanksgiving family travel it would just be to much. I know you understand and I am so grateful for each and every one of you and I love reading your blogs and catching up on what happening in you life. I am thankful of the friends I have met along the way and truly blessed that I have you to share my memories and crazy times with. If I seem out of it from now until the first of the year it is simply because I am!!! Building Farm Office, Arena, Vegas trip, Rhetts 4th Birthday, and Christmas may just take its toll on me.

Today we are headed out ot take a road trip to Texas to pick up 12 pregnant heifers. 

We are all just excited to add these to the farm. 

We are going to spend the night in Shreveport so that means:

and a pit stop to one of my favorite boot stores....

Happy Thanksgiving 

from my Southern Blessed Life to Yours!!!!
