Last night Sean said he would go to the grocery store with me and help me pick out some foods he would like to eat.   He is a really picky eater, a "meat n' taters" type of guy.   He had gotten up at 3 am yesterday morning to go Duck Hunting so I had hoped he wasn't in a sour mood.

When I got home from work this is what I found.  Needless to say I went to the Grocery store alone...

And it looks like Sean wasn't the only sleepy Duck Hunter in the house either.  (Like Banjo's new bed??)

They both did not move until around 9pm when Sean slowly walked into the bedroom and fell quickly back asleep in the bed.  Banjo remained on his bed until breakfast.

Sean was in a good mood today though.  Sean's Dad asked for a picture of his two boys and the saddles they had won, and I thought I better take it while Sean's not away hunting or sleeping from hunting.

  I had this cute Idea of Saddles stacked at different levels on hay bales and all this other creative stuff that involved horses and it was going to be so cute!!  

And well this was all they would do for me.  My vision was erased quickly... Stupid Boys.  I would've done it myself but the Dr. said don't lift anything over 20lbs for six weeks after my gallbladder sugery and it has only been three weeks.  So there goes the cute hay bale idea.  Stupid boys.

I guess it turned out good enough.  Then they made up for being stupid boys by acting like stupid boys amd I couldn't help but quit being mad at them.

  (love the truck in the background?) 

Here's a preview of Mine and Sean's Christmas Picture Shoot..  It didn't go to well... we finally got one good one, but I'll wait and show you after I mail them!

It makes me Happy

I'd like to give a big THANKS to Kelsey who said my blog makes her Happy!!
Her blog makes me happy too!! She and her husband live in Kentucky and she rides show horses!! She is super nice and her blog is all about her life and her horses!

The rules are to list ten things that make me happy and five blogs that make me happy and pass this along to them!!


So besides the obvious, Friends, Family, God, and My Dogs (and money) here are ten things that make me oh so happy inside in random order.

1. Trees. Yes, Trees make me happy, they are so majestic and beautiful. Actually Nature in general makes me happy. I even posted a about trees here. Yeah I'm a bit weird when it comes to the outdoors. I've been known to venture out on a many nature walks just to take in all God's beauty.

2. Coke Zero Makes me really happy. Just the sound that it makes when I open it and then the cool sugary goodness as it pours down my throat.. I want one now. Every day, against my will, my car drives me to the convenient store near my house where I just feel obligated to buy a Coke Zero, I really think my purchases at this particular store is keeping them in business because I'm pretty sure Sean and I spend more money there than anywhere. I get the same thing every day after lunch, a coke zero. It's so routine that when I pull in the parking lot they already have me rang up and ready to pay.

3. Office Supplies. I love to get new office supplies. Especially supplies that are out of the ordinary. It makes work less boring to me. I've even posted about my obsession with Office Supplies here.

4. Going to Big rodeos with Sean makes me happy. I don't like the ones that you drive to in one day and get home a 4 am. I like the ones where you stay the whole weekend and you get to hang out and enjoy everyone there. The finals are always fun. I've posted about them here and here.

5. My favorite times of the year is when the Season's Change. It always makes me happy to see the trees change from winter to spring to summer to fall to winter.. I guess you can't really see the spring to summer change but you sure can see the others!! It's exciting to feel a change coming in the weather. It makes me really happy. I can't wait until spring!

6. Blogging makes me happy! I love to have an outlet for all of my random thoughts and photography hobby. Thanks to everyone who follows along and comments, You make it fun and make me happy!!!

7. Another thing that makes me happy is also my weakness. It's Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter always puts a smile on my face. Whether it' s on a banana or a PB and Honey Sandwich or an apple or just plan PB on a spoon, I love me some peanut butter. My thighs on the other hand, do not love peanut butter.

8. Brown Sugar is another one of those things that makes me happy. I like to bake things that require brown sugar because then I can eat a spoon full.  Oh it just makes me happy and puts me in Heaven!!  Baking doesn't happen often for me so when it does and I get sugar I get all happy inside. ...and I wonder why I have sugar problems hummmm...

9. Sunsets make me happy; the end of the day, the golden light, the way the sky looks, I just love sunsets!! I especially love sunsets when we are on the lake, which is rare. It just makes me feel whole and complete, thought I don't know why. I love the way golden sunsets makes everything glow, it would make anything beautiful!!

10. Photography makes me happy. I just learned that it makes me happy. I love learning and I love getting a great shot! The happiness that surges through my body when I know I got a good shot is addictive!! Hopefully I can learn a lot more so I can get more of those great shots!!

Now according to the rules I'm supposed to list 5 blogs that make me happy and pass along this little award.

Kelly @ Kelly & Company Is always posting fun hilarious stuff on her blog, she makes me smile with all her funny remarks about random people places and things!

Josh @ Joshland makes me smile with his wonderful memorable stories of his amazing life, though his last posts have brought tears to my eyes as he remembers his sister that he lost many years ago. He is a wonderful writer and his stories always have great meaning behind them!

Melissa@ Little Miss Married makes me smile as she blogs about life. Her weightloss blog always makes me smile as I read about the accomplishment she's achieved and the encouragement she offers!!

Laura @ Life Happens makes me smile with all of her great photos and cute stories about her kids! She helps me a lot with photography and I love having someone to talk with about it!!

Tiffany @ Munchkin Mommy makes me smile at her puppies and the obsession she has with them almost matches my obsession with my puppies!! Her puppies are so stinkin cute!!

There are so many other blogs that make me happy but they will just have to get another award another time because I only get to give five. These five people comment and blog to me almost every day...thanks for blogging with me!! I love all the blogs I follow!!!

Wordful Wednesday

It's Wordful Wednesday again!! Check out 7 Clown Circus for more Wordful Wednesdays!

 This is Birdie, birdie LOVES balls.  I threw a rubber ball I got her for halloween out into the yard for her to fetch and she brought me back a softball...?   I don't know where the softball came from but it's her favorite toy now.  She's so funny!  Banjo doesn't get this excited about his toys but Birdie is Hilarious!! 

Merry Christmas from the Family

I just wanted to share one of My Favorite Christmas Songs with you.  It cracks me up because everyone knows a family like this especially if you live in a small town.  Rednecks are everywhere :)   This song is right up there with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on my list of  Favorite holiday things  ha!

My two favorite Christmas songs are actually, White Christmas and Angels We Have Heard on High, but there's just nothing like humor to get you in the Christmas spirit!!


Merry Christmas from the Family by: Robert Earl Keen

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party

We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang
Felis Navidad, Felis Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel
The First Noel

Carve the Turkey
Turn the ball game on
It's margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension chord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of Pampers, Marlboro Lights
Halelluja everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
It's Bloody Mary's
Cause We All Want One!
Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites
A box of Midols, some Salem Lights
Halelluja, everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the Family

Felis Navidad!
