Here is Franky, the only other boy in Stacy’s class.

Zora was a Peacock for Halloween.

From Left to Right- Lisa Fellows (owner of Daycare), Miss Kara (Stacy’s teacher) and Miss Dana (Stacy’s Nanny)

The Nurse is Miss Emiley Stacy’s other teacher.

 

 

 

Everyone was given a cupcake from Miss Kara as soon as they woke up and then we went from room to room telling everyone trick or treat.  As I was leaving Mr. Jones demanded he had to go with daddy so we went shopping for mommy’s Halloween present…..

Are some choice words and a conversation with Tehya we decided to go Hog Hunting instead.  MAWJ was good in the brush and stayed quit and close until the cold air caught up with her.  Once that happened she was done hunting and wanted to go home.  Below is the last conversation in the brush before we went home.

Dad: mawj what’s wrong?

MAWJ: I want to go home…..  I thought hunting would be fun.

Dad: Hunting is fun, didn’t you enjoy tracking those pigs with daddy?

MAWJ: Yes but I was bored more than I was having fun.

Dad: Shorty, that is going to happen.  You have to spend time finding them before you can start the hunting and tracking part you like so much.

MAWJ: Well I thought hunting was going to be Really, REally, REALLY fun.  Is wasn’t. Daddy I’m cold and bored and I want to go home and start having fun.

Here are some pics of the hunt.

The above Pic was before we left the house to start our hunting.

The below Pic is at the end of the day of hunting.

The Below pic is me turning the pigs into Dog Food…

It was very hot and bright outside so most of the pics are washed out from the sun.  I have uploaded a video of her going down the huge slide.

Thursday Stacy and I went to the Circus here in Midland.  This years Circus had a much better selection of performers and animals.  We were able to see Tigars, Bears and we road an elephant.  Here are a few pics

Sorry about the clarity of the photos, I only had my cell phone and the building was pretty dark.

Silenced; I continued helping lovingly remember and recount baby memories with other estrogen prone individuals. After cleaning and packing the mom to be up and sending her off with loads of goodies, I check my phone…. To find what a FUN day our kids are having.

Things to note:

1. We RENT this house. Upon moving to WTX we decided a rental for a year would be ideal for locating exactly where we wanted to live.

2. We are trying to revive the yard before LEAVING this house to move into our own.

3. Our landlord is Venezuelan and WON’T understand the mud pit.

4. MaryAnn had on light pink shorts…. We’ll see how great Oxi-Clean really is at getting out those tough stains.

5. I wish I would’ve been covered in mud too.

Because of the great time and the fact that I left my camera at BlackBox. I had to go through and look at previously uploaded photos that are in the roll-up to be posted… Hence, the ‘Where’s Waldo’ title….

 

Shae and I took a trip for our 7 year… Got a clue? Pure joy to me.

What this just doesn’t give it away?

Hint: that’s Sierra Madres in the far distance…

 

NO? Ok, then maybe this…

 

When time prevails.. I’ll upload and share the rest.

If you’ve been wondering why our blog has been vacant of late… then I apologize for the lack of communication.

You will be filled in with the travels upon the weekends but this past two weeks (business days) I’ve been inundated with all things Board Meeting. 

I was selected to present the new developmental idea that lead to some new reserve potential during the start of the year. Knowing that this meant ALOT to my little family in terms of growth and potential. I threw myself into presentation mode. 

Now that it’s over I can talk and release.

My husband is the type of individual that’ll read a groan or expletive of mine and know it’s exact meaning.

The morning of my presentation I had a bit of a feminine brassiere issue and knew that this was the perfect time to let one rip. As I flew the tattered support contraption across the room, I colored it with the very roughest roughneck slang I picked up. My loving Shae, of course, asked what was wrong, knowing the monumental stress that was upon me that morning, and I told him the fate laid situation.

Grabbing an additonal bra I dressed and headed into work. *Ladies we all know that comfort in a perfect fitting support team*

The day was fine and went smoother than expected. There are exceptional things in the works from the results and I am so excited even despite the uncomfortable and constant adjustment clothing that nagged me all day.

When I came home I found this…..

Hard to ever top the amount of brownie points this man earned in one small gesture….. I know too many men that wouldn’t even think of the kind act.

 Uncomfortable NO MORE!!!
