Belated Brithday / Anny Prezzy

Jamie and I will be having our 6 year anny soon and he has his 30th b day not too long ago. So I surprised hubby with tickets to our favorite comedian known as the fluffy guy. We went to Chilis for dinner and enjoyed that very much! Chilis for us is like a 5 star place! Especially when you live in this town haha We had more time to kill so we went to Petco and looked at all the animals and dog toys. Jamie was scouting out the toys for our next dog some day. I think he wants another Sy really bad haha. Then we went to the Party City and looked at all the halloween stuff. I thought it would be a great opportunity to snag Nates costume in Shreveport so not every kid on the block would have the same one as him. Jamie picked it out and he also grabbed a door sign and I got Nate a little piece of candy and we headed out the door. We got lost in down town Shreveport but luckily found the place. Thank goodness we were an hour early even after all that shoppin. It was so weird to see him so close and listen to some of the same jokes that we heard on TV. I remember sitting on the couch with Jamie saying, "we have to go see him in person some day" The good thing about him is he does not say the same jokes from tv and in his shows. During the end he gave us a few 'classics' from tv but it was all new material. He does this to test it before he aires it which I think is great. Alot of comedians use the same TV/show material and it gets boring. We had a great time!
This morning when I showed Nate his present he snagged it from me and hugged it very close haha

Dog "Saying" Grace

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Farm Is Growing!

Had to share the farm again tee hee
I have collected so many flowers I think the garden needs to be trimmed up a bit.
I still keep pumpkins for Nate to harvest hahaha
By the way mom do you notice a specific animal in the first pic?

Cajun Country

Nate loves to listen to the radio when he goes to bed. When he was going through that 'sleep in mommy and daddys room on the floor' spell he would bring the radio in there with him. He knows how to use the volume, change channels, turn it on and off, and change the brightness of the numbers. Quite impressive actually....
As we all know todays radio stations are filled with some pretty nasty stuff as sad as it is, so you would think I would have to keep close ear on what channels he listens to right? Nope not the Nate he spacifically has a station he listens to. How do I know this? Often if the radio gets bumped or moved the stations get accidently changed and every time they get changed right back to this one station.
Its a small local station here that plays mixed easy listening, 1950-1960s country, and Cajun type music with banjos and all kinds of crawfish and alligator eating music.
I giggle every time I walk past his room becuase this music is so funny and it amazes me every day that Nate spacifically chooses this music.
I recorded some of it last night but ignore the time its off......I dont stay up that late haha

Oh How I Wish I Had A Hobby Lobby

I bet by the year 2015 Christmas decorations will stay out all year round! Its as if the 'fall' decorations dont exist anymore. :(
Every year I like to jump into the 50% off bins and snag some fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving decs for the next year. Around here they dont do that so you have to get the stuff quick while it lasts.
First stop...Dollar General...not bad picked up a cute harvest angel.
Then I thought..well I will go to Walmart and see what they have.
Walmart has seem to change up their ways of selling stuff yet again. The costumes and candy galore take room where decorations USED to go. Now there is a small tiny shelf of over priced cheaply made ugly stuff.
So this year I am going to do something different. Make my way to the Hobby Lobby in Alex after Thanksgiving to snag the 50% off bin WOOHOOO

Fire Truck Day & Its Not Your Birthday! & Is This Enough Money?

*As the bus was rolling past us to turn around at the bus stop you could see all the kids with these bright red fire engine hats on. It was the cutest thing....
Nate gets off the bus so excited to explain to me that the fire engine and fire fighters had come to his school.
When we got home he scouted out all the smoke detectors in the house and explained to me that we need to check each and every one to make sure they work. Of course I assured him that this was just recently done a few weeks ago.

*I noticed in Nates journal that the teacher had put Happy Birthday for today. I reminded him to tell the teacher at school that today was not his birthday. "no mom it can be my birthday today its ok" Well I guess the kids get cup cakes at school so Nate wanted every day to be his birthday.

*Nate hands me some money...."mom is this enough to bring grammy and papa to visit us?"

Internet Was Down :(

We got some use out of the Army MWR out on Toledo Bend Lake and rented a boat to go fishing. I LOVE fish depth finders! Jamie got his boating license so now he can drive them! The weather has been fantastic for the past week with no humidity and in the 70s perfect to get outdoors.

Nate played the game cube for the first time over the weekened. Jamie and him played the Mario Cart. I was so shocked at how well Nate was doing!

Of course first thing this morning before school nate wanted to play it and I said, 'absolutely not' yea he was pretty upset but he has to be good at school and keep his room clean before he can play then there is a time limit on it. I know I know 'MOM YOUR NO FUN!' :)

Nates tattoo :)

Mom take pictures of me!

A chain and a fishing bobber.....I have no idea
