Better late than never right?

I do not approve of Maci's shirt what so ever nor Rhett jersey just so you know

I was in for a schock my Rhett man won a coloring contest and he got his award. Dont you just love those boots with shorts? He has so much style Im tellin ya

I had to work the PTO booth at the football game that night and you know what lil boys do at football games they play their own game on the side. They were all playing right beside my table so I could see every single move they made and low and behold all of a sudden I hear Rhett got is teeth out? WHAT I look and I see him running crying holding his mouth so I thini he just got hit in the mouth his tooth is fine...welll nope it was GONE and the one right beside is is so loose it is hanging. SO needless to say the tooth fairy came that night and Rhett lost his first tooth.

PVA Homecoming Dress week

This week is homecoming for the kids school and let the dress up begin. Everyday is a different them and Monday was Pajama Day. The kids loved it because they simple got out of bed brushed their teeth and away to school we went. I wanted the girls to add some ole tiny curls I got but no they wouldn't...I wish I could still dress them I miss those days

 

Tuesday was costume day

 Maci the Nerd

 

Mauri was a leopard

Rhett was Buzz Lightyear 

Now we are ready for Wednesday & Thursday

Family date nite

Saturday mid morning the kids and I got a big surprise when the Farmer walked through the door. He had gotten rained out from cutting corn. Its a big deal because during harvest the farmer works10-12hour 7 days a week. We were all excited to see him and thought we should celebrate

Why is it always freezing in the movies? Does you theater keep it a negative 0?

The kids have been wanting to see this ever since they saw the previews when I took them to see Medea. I wasn't very happy and dreaded this but I was so glad they picked it. We all loved it! I would recommend this to anyone. The adults will love this too

Rhett getting his popcorn and at our house we cant eat popcorn without M&Ms

After the movie we went to a favorite of ours

                                                           My Boo and I

only if I would have known that when you get big ta-tas and you are below 5 it makes you look top heavy or maybe my 15lb weight gain added that but diet started the very next day.

Dont ya just love his Hook em hat? Well I do but only when they are not playing my Bama

I love that we can get our own booth in this little hideaway and we feel to ourselves

It also just make it feel so cozy

If I had this copy cat recipe to this shrimp dip with bread I would die

The kids wanted their usual chips and queso

I was totally going lite this dinner since I ate a heavy appetizer

Lite Beer 90 calories

Veggie: sweet potatoes

Fish: Mahi Mahi I even took off the top piece of bread

OMG was it delishicious

It seems like each time we make it to Monroe we cant pass up Orange Leaf

It doesn't taste anything like yogurt

There are so many flavors:

cheesecake, red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, wedding cake, strawberry, coffee, you name it they have it

Then once you pick your flavor or flavors the you move on to the toppings

 they have so many toppings it hard to choose or you could just do all

I just want to put it out there the Farmer and i skipped and didn't get anything

 only the kids but I'm not gonna lie that's because we were going to run in Newks and grab some cake

Although before we got there we both decided we didn't need it and passed it right on up.

Glad we did I think we would have popped if we took in anymore food.

Im kid Free.......

Only if it is 7 hours I am kid free from 8-3 Monday-Friday. Can you say WHOOO-2-tha-HOOO!

I can only imagine all the trashy realityTV watching and nap taking I mean cleaning and organizing I will be doing. It has took me 10 years to finally get all 3 kids out of the house and on their way to school so hell NO I don't want to sub this year I want a much needed mom break.

Now on to the sad stuff.......school routine and early morning suck!
I think Maci is still asleep

I cant believe that my baby boy is in Pre-K4..tear tear I cried myself home.

Rhett went right on in and was so excited to see Mrs. Pepper. Being that we know the teacher very well and go to church with us and also was Maci's prek teacher.

 

Mauri is such a big girl this year being that she is in 1st grade

 

Maci was playing the 2 kool 4 school card I guess that is what happens when you go to 4th grade

That was their first day of many until our beloved summer

getting Wedding ready

Thursday was time to get out of wedding planning mode and get into wedding ready mode. All the planning and counting down was coming to an end. Headed to get this show on the road.

The girls love their girl time and poor Maci with her crutches that everyone would knock over. HaHa

Maci told the lady that she was getting solar nail tips....umm hold up no I dont think so sister! So I explained to her that she could get her nails painted like a french manicure but not the actually nails on so she was fine with that. Mauri went with all purple. I cant find her pic poor baby. For their toes they went with a purple zebra.

After getting our mani and pedis we headed on over to one of my faves Newks for lunch. I always get the same thing grilled chicken sandwich and cesar salad. So i cant tell you how anything else tastes.

After getting our bellys full we headed on over to the country club to help get it together and start setting up and decorating. The girls were such big helpers. I cant wait for the wedding pics to come in so I can show you how beautiful it was decorated. I didnt get any reception decor photos.

Big & Little

Maci and Bentley and Mauri and Shorty....They are ready are so funny standing together. Short is such a good pony he is older and so kind and sweet. Mauri just loves him and sings to him while grooming him.

She takes him around the barrels and poles and is now learning quads, keyhole, and flags.

She loves riding him and we have to make her get off.

She has been so sweet about letting Rhett ride and even leads him around. She thinks she is so big when she does this.

Lesson Learned

My dad works in Shreveport so he got a camp on Cross Lake to stay during the week and he comes home on the weekends. Or if he has to work on weekends my Mom goes there. It is beautiful and peaceful there. Just look at how relaxing this looks

            The kids favorite part is to feed the ducks and see how close they can get them to come.

          We decided since it had been so HOT it would be nice to take the kids to the water park there.
                                               Maci jumped right on in and enjoyed it.

                    Mauri loved it also and stayed on the slides she went from one to the other.

Rhett wanted to go down the big slide with Mauri and Maci and I knew what a whip he so I knew he wouldnt go down it when we got up there so I explained to him that if we went all the way to the top Im not bringing him down because this fat out of shape Momma isnt walking down once I get up the 10 flights of stairs. He said he would so here we go...Once at the top and his turn he is screaming of course and the life guard was saying to take him down...uhh excuse me cant you see Im huffing and puffing Im not going down MR Lifeguard. I ploped him on the slide and pushed him down...that little rascal grabbed the side and was hangin kicking and screaming so I had to pry his fingers off and send him down all while these crazy people are giving me the worst Mom ever look. Well if they were the best Mom why didnt they offer to take him back down....thats what I thought so you can take that look and shove it. Needless to say once he got to the bottom on the slide he wasnt screaming he was actually smiling but he wouldnt go again and you best believe that was a lesson well learned.

So for now he stuck to the kiddie slides like this one

What, really?

I'm in love with Mary Bs biscuits because they taste exactly like the ones from scratch and lets face it
I don't have the time or want to make them. This is so easy and so good so why not. I know the price of everything is going up but taking it to a while new level by jipping me is just ludicrous! I only got 9 biscuits in a bag of 10 :{

The girls came walking by dressed like this and I asked what are yal doing they said they were playing Mom...what? I dont dress like that well yes those are my boots but the other is a swim suit cover. I had to take them down a notch. What were they thinking?

The backhoe man came and piled up these rocks to block the water so we could hold it in to pump to the fields.

I think he might have missed a spot and now we have a beautiful rock waterfall. The kids and I love it but the farmer not so much. I think we should leave it and let it be.

How can I not mention

I have been seeing people rave over an over for 50 shades of grey and with everyone saying all these great things about how they cant put it down or they read all of them and now what are they going to do or simply reading it again. I knew I had to read it. So unlike myself I go into this blind not reading the reviews or few pages on Amazom. I just download it to kindle ipad app and begin reading once I got to page 115 or so and HolyMoly I was in...well I don't know how to describe it I felt like I shouldn't be reading it but I couldn't put it down either. So I did what I always do when I have a good book keep on keeping on and page by page I was into it more and more and it just builds you up in this intense mystery. Believe it or not I finished it in one day now I'm on book 2. If this does make into a movie please Channing Tatum be Christian Grey. I don't need pale skinny Twilight dude so not hot but Channing oh yes Channing or Paul Walker. I mean I'm just saying 

Day on the Farm

A day in the life on the Farm is all about getting a little dirty. When doing rice water you have to break a levy and let the water flow unto the next rice patty. So get to shoveling sister

    Once the levy is broke the water flows over to the next section. My favorite part is playing in it

The water that is coming into the rice field is being pumped out of a flown ditch and you never know what you are going to find sming in your rice patty. Mauri found her a nice fish swimming right  by her feet. She grabbed it up and was so brave while Rhett is hiding right behind me hollering OMG, OMG, the farmer didnt like that one bit. LOL

Watch out for you little piggies because you might feel a little pinch.

We also stopped by the lake and caught a few sharks as Rhett would say. He caught the most catfish as soon as his pole would hit the water he would get a bite I dont know how he did it.

Mauri giving her fish a little smooch

This was the end to a perfect day on the Farm.

I cant leave out what is really important ont his special day
