Mason is 2!
My little boy is growing up way too fast! It seems like yesterday he was learning to walk and talk. Now he is a little chatterbox and we don't walk anymore - it's time to run. But he is still my little love bug, he loves to sit in your lap and watch tv and he does not like sitting at the table with his brother and eat, he wants to sit in my lap. He is always smiling, dancing, and laughing. Here are a few pics from his 2nd Birthday Party.

Hunter's 5th Birthday
This is major catch up time - for starters here are pics of Hunter's 5th Birthday. He wanted only boys so that does limit the invitees but he did allow mom, a few female relatives and Abigail (his best bud's sister). The theme - Camo Party - only decorations needed a camp and camo - even I can handle that! And Shane wanted to take care of it so he brought a paint ball gun for entertainment - and no I was not allowed to shoot the target or Shane.
Visit with Pappaw Hull
Shane & I went to Memphis for the Gin Show, he worked and I played. The boys stayed with my dad for 2 1/2 days and then Shane's for 1 1/2 days. That is enough grandparent time for any parent (and parents know what I mean!) They get away with anything and I have proof of that at least at my dad's.
I'm just glad my dad had the foresight to put old t-shirts on them.
A can of paint in the hands of a 2 year old and 5 year old is a dangerous thing!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
It's been awhile but Christmas this year has been a little hectic, between getting house decorated, buying presents, and parties it has been a whirlwind. I love the Christmas season and don't take enough pictures or time to really enjoy it. To catch up on all the festivities, I decided to take the week off from work and spend it with the boys doing whatever they wanted, we played, made Christmas candy, and watched movies. Basically we were lazy and enjoyed it. Hunter went hunting with daddy a lot and that gave Mason & me time together.
Our families are close but during Christmas season when we have to travel it's not close enough. First on Christmas Eve Eve (Tuesday before Christmas) my dad and his wife come over for pizza and presents. This is the first round of presents. Luckily, dad is on the practical side and buys only one toy each but they do get flashlights. As you will see my boys love flashlights and everyone knows this. Next on Christmas Eve, we go to the Bray Family (Bastrop, LA) and eat duck gumbo with Shane's side of the family, basically his parents, sister, and Aunt Donna & Uncle Kenneth and their kids. That is the second round of present opening (toys start flying!!!). We usually make it home by 11:00 pm or so, put the boys to bed and hopefully they have fallen asleep on the 1 hr drive home. On Christmas morning, Santa has arrived and brought presents galore we play for a little while before heading out again. Next stop is a late lunch at my mom's house (Monroe, LA) with my sister and brother in law and my brother and his kids (if in town) and of course this means more presents and more toys!!! After this we head home for the boys to play with Santa toys.
After all this my house looks like a tornado has come through but that is part of it. I hope everyone has had a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
Christmas Eve
We are going to find Santa!!!!
Christmas morning
The one child's toy that the adults (you are reading this correctly) enjoyed most . . . two yellow remote controlled trucks that Aunt Donna gave the boys. The boys played with them forever and the adults enjoyed it even more. We didn't think Mason would figure out the remote but it took him a few minutes and he had it going and racing after Hunter, the trucks would chase the boys, each other and anything that came in it's path. The trucks also bounced up and down and played music which the boys would stop and dance and believe, those boys can't dance! But it was funny to watch.

Kansas Hunting Trip
Shane and some buddies went to Kansas the week after Thanksgiving for THE BIG HUNTING TRIP. They left on Monday, scouted on Tuesday, and 2 of the guys (including hubby) shot their deer Wednesday morning (opening day), the other 2 guys shot their deer on Thursday. Therefore, they decided to head home on Friday.
The deer scored 181 5/8" and has 13 point. My first comment "We don't have a wall big enough for the deer head and yours!!!" He was so excited and can't wait to hang it in the . . . OFFICE. By the way the smile has not worn off yet.
Does he want to go back to Kansas and get another one next year - NO - he wants to go pheasant hunting. Boys and their hobbies. We have to love them.
