Post of Many Photos

**Edited to add Tuesday's Blog Hop of Favorite Photos!  Since these are my most recent, they are automatically my favorite :)  Enjoy!**


Well Guys and Gals, It’s getting close to Hunting Season. In a few short weeks I will be a deer/duck widow. My husband will go off into the hunting woods and never come back again…until next spring…and then Rodeo Season Starts. So basically I don’t have a husband:)

haha..check out Biride's eyes.  I guess even dogs can take bad photos...she looks as if she can't stand me..aw

Anyway Yesterday I went a long with Sean and his friend to the Bayou Meto in Stuttgart Arkansas, the Duck Capitol of the US of A. We rode around all afternoon in search of some good hunting spots for the upcoming season. I told Sean I would be happy to go hunting with him as long as it wasn’t cold and I didn’t have to get up early... looks like I won'' be hunting
I’m glad I took my camera with me because the trees were breath taking. I took a million pictures.

Check out my new waders. I borrowed them from a friend and they are a youth size. Youths don’t have curves Like I do so they fit a little awkward.

Oh and "The Beard" is back. I will have to kiss a 'Santa Clause' like face for the next four months. It’s a horrible life I live.

Birdie took her first ride in a boat and LOVED every minute of it. She even dove off the boat a few times to get the training dummy. She happily and quickly bought it back, and the skunk smell followed shortly.

Banjo had a good day too. He isn’t too excited about the upcoming season with his Hip problems and all.

We also saw the above pictured beaver dam, which was pretty neat.  With all the rain we’ve been getting here lately the water was so deep we could barley stand in some areas, so the puppies got bored in the boat.  

By the end of the day we were all wet, cold, and tired and finished up the evening by eating some Awesome Mexican food!

Have a Great Day!!

Stinky Puppies

I came back to Central Arkansas so Excited to see my Chocolate Children. I was missing them terribly. I just couldn't wait to roll around in the floor and play with them like some idiotic person that was too obsessed with their dogs. Oh yeah...and I was excited to see Sean too.  

When I arrived at my house I discovered a new species of amphibian.   The ever so scary Green Window Frog.



The Green Window Frog clings to your sliding glass door at eye level so when you go to open the door to pet your every so loving chocolate children, the Green Window Frog is there staring at you with his beady little eyes, waiting patiently to startle the bageezez out of you.

He also leaves behind a nice trail of slime, forcing the homeowner to finally break down and clean the sliding glass door.



So anyway...  When I finally got past the Green Window Frog to love on my Chocolate Children, I couldn't help but notice an unplesant skunk like smell.

"Sean"  I called out from the porch.  "Did you forget to tell me something about the Dogs??"   "Oh Yeah.  They got sprayed by a skunk."


So all that loving I wanted to do on my dogs I will have to postpone until I can get the smell to go away. This happened to Banjo last year around this time. It was 10x worse last time though, he was sprayed right in the face. The skunk got real upclose and personal with nosy Banjo. I think this time Banjo knew what he was up against and just didn't get away in time. Birdie got the majority of the skunk spray on her side, it got on her brand new collar too. Guess I'll have to get her a new one. Banjo doesn't smell that bad. I think actually Birdie was the only one that got sprayed and then rubbed up on Banjo.

I bought some Skunk begone, vinegar, baking soda, and tomato juice. I'm gonna try everything!! Last time it took about 3 months for Banjo to quit smelling! Banjo didn't sleep in the house at this point in time so it wasn't a big deal, but Birdie has never slept outside so I feel sorry for her. I'll resort to shaving birdie if I can't get the smell out with all the ammo Ive got!! I can't leave her spoiled little rear outside for too long!!

Happy Halloween

While actually having the flu has been a horrible experience, I hate to admit that I'm very glad I got the flu. I guess the flu was God's way of giving me a little alone time with my family. I've been really homesick lately and I really needed this time at home. I've enjoyed every minute of being around my Mom, Dad, and sisters, except for the "feeling like crap" part. Having the flu has allowed me to rest, forget about the stress of my normal life, and just sit back and enjoy my family...when I wasn't asleep...or aching...or coughing..or running fever..so for like 10 minutes I go to enjoy my family :)

I guess that valuable time with my family was the silver lining to my cloud.

Look what we did Wednesday while I was feeling better.  We carved a Pumpkin!! Momma picked up a carving kit at Wal-Mart and we made this fantabulous kitty cat! Doesn't it look great!?And with moms help, I made a sad attempt at the Rainbow cake MckMamma posted on her blog. While our cake looked nothing near what her amazing cake looked like, I'm sure it tasted just as good. It was so much fun to make, even though It didn't turn out the prettiest! I can't wait to make it again and keep on trying to perfect it! I think we made the layers a little thick and we ran out of icing. ha! Mom laughed every time she looked at the cake because it was so tall and lumpy!  ha just looking at the picture of it makes me laugh!


I guess all the pumpkin carving and cake baking made me overdo it because I woke up Thursday with a low fever and sick again.  I'm still not feeling well but I think this is the last of it.  Yay!!  A restful weekend should help me be 100%.

Have a Happy Halloween!!

Top Ten Thursday

Today is Top Ten Thursday!  I've kind of revamped today's top 10 and made it into ...
The top 19 things you never wanted to know about Me & Sean!  I got this from Kelly over at Keeping up with Kelly & Co. She wrote a post the other day that I just had to steal because it was so cute!! You will have to go check it out!  Also, head on over to My messy Paradise to see More top 10 Thursday Posts!!

So enjoy reading about me & Sean and go Ahead...steal it from me..I'd love to see yours!

1. What are your middle names?
Sean's is Louis after his grandfather and mine is Lane because my Mom liked Soap-Operas and Lane was a character on Flamingo Road. And just FYI "Jenna" was also taken from a Soap Opera you might remember... "Dallas." Jenna was played by Priscilla Presley.
2. How long have you been together?
Feels like FOREVER... But really only a short 2 years before marriage and thanks to the Facebook Weddingbook I know we've been married for 509 days. Sean called me the other day and informed me that it was our 500 day anniversary, so as a joke I bought a card and it was really funny..
3. How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Um.. we started "dating" right away so maybe 2 hours. But we didn't start dating exclusively for about 6 weeks after that.
4. Did you go to the same school?
Nope

5. Are you from the same home town?
No I lived 1 1/2 hours south west of Sean to be precise.

6. Who is the smartest?
Book Smart? Sean. Sean has more useless trivia knowledge in his mind than anyone I've ever met in my life. We play a trivia game on the PS2 called "buzz" and I finally beat him a few weeks ago and He pouted. I think I'm smarter when it comes to budgeting and money and grown up stuff :)
7. Who is the most sensitive?
Sometimes I think Sean was born without feelings. Just kidding:) Me for sure. I cry when I see a pretty cloud in the sky.
8. Who has the worst temper?
That is currently up for debate.
9. Who does the cooking?
Sean and I both cook together....well actually Sean cooks, and I watch and learn. He's an amazing cook.

10. Who is the neat freak?
Neither of us our neat freaks. I guess Banjo would be the neat freak in our family. He's never dirty and he puts all his toys in little piles.
11. Who is the most stubborn?
Toss a coin, we are both about the same and we're pretty far up there on the stubborn scale. It's why we argue so much, but at least we both know it right?
12. Who wakes up earlier?
Me, always me. Sean could sleep through a train wreck so if he ever has to wake up early, I wake up to the sound of his alarm first, then I wake him up.

13. Who is more jealous?
Probably me, but really neither one of us are that jealous anymore.
14. How long did it take to get serious?
I guess a few months.
15. Who eats more?
Me sadly.

16. Who does the laundry?
I normally do the laundry but Sean helps out a lot when I'm busy.
17. Who's better with the computer?
Well since I sit in front of one almost 24 hours a day, Me. Ask who's better with hands on tools? Sean
18. Who drives when you are together?
It depends. If we take my Tahoe, I usually Drive unless I don't want to listen to Sean complain about how horrible of a driver I am. He has a huge Dodge Diesel Truck that I am nervous to drive so he always drives that. Plus, when we take his truck we are usually pulling a trailer and I refuse to drive in that circumstance.

19. What is your song?
Hahaha. We don't have a song but Sean likes to make up silly songs on his Guitar and he wrote one the other night on the spot while I was doing laundry. It was a Mexican Love Ballad, and it was Hilarious. I really wish I could remember all of what he said because you would DIE of laughter but he declared it "our Song"


This is the earliest Picture I can find of me and Sean. It was about three months after we met. Oh how young and skinny we look!

So now that you just wasted 10 minutes of your life that you'll never get back..and now know more information that you ever wished to know about Me and Sean, have a great Thursday!!
