A HUGE-mongus shower

The expecting couple!! I had to put this funny picture not very often I catch a picture of Aunt Wee Wee goofin off... sorry Aunt Wee Wee but it was a super cute picture.
So I finally have some pictures rounded up to share of the largest baby shower in the south (200+ guest invited). HUGE-Mongus as my little boy says... so if you haven't heard already we are expecting an new little boy in our family soon and thank goodness I aint the one delivering this one Yee Haww!! We had put a cute little pumpkin in the invite asking the guest to sign a book instead of a card. It was a huge hit they got a bunch of super cute books for the new little guy. The boys and I flew home for Halloween (that is a whole nuther blog- flying alone with 2 kids) to throw the shower and trick-a-treat anyway here are some of the pics...


















The little spiders, baby bottles, and it's a boy pumkins were in jars on each table and were a HUGE hit... so so cute and such a PROJECT!! Thanks to my sister-in-laws for helping me pull this one off... These yummy popcorn balls were the party favors..and nope didn't even make them myself !!


Everyone had fun signing the banner I am sure little baby Seymor Carr (LOL) will enjoy it once he enters the world :0)






I took these pictures a little early before the food was delivered and the yummy cake balls.. of course I got carried away and didnt get one picture of the ghost cake balls and the choclate candy corn cake balls but they were for sure to die for yummy!! Thanks Kelly you Rock!!~

Of course as always all new parents need all the advice they can get so we built an advice tree it was full full by the time the day was over..

Great Halloween Fun!~

My bestest friend and her twin get INTO some Halloween now... so this year they were vampires and yet again they out did themselves. I was so glad I was home to see it in person and my kiddos too but Cooper was a little unsure.. he would stand back and observe it all but no way was he taking any pictures. Buzz Lightyear was all for it of course.
This is Debbie my life long friends mom we have been friends since kindergarten love this woman she has always lived a road over from us and I honk like crazy every time I get in town so she knew we were coming..hehe :0) I thought it was great as we went to houses in the neighborhood I grew up. They had special bags made for the kids.. I think that is so special!~ I wish our neighborhood did neat things like this~




WE had so much fun.. my dad and brother were such sports they we all super heroes and made mighty fine ones if I do say so myself... (they do look a little confused)

There baaacckkk..

Ahhhh how I love thee foam hand soap.. and guess what?the Christmas scents hit the shelfs this past weekend. Guess who was first in line? Yep it was me... I am so glad Christmas isn't far away! I love the season and I love this soap!! Not sure why maybe it is the smell. They have every smell you can think of to choose from and great ones for your kitchen too. Maybe because it is so easy for my kids to use. It is kinda fun so it encourages them to wash the germs off. Maybe because there is no mess from a bar of soap laying around and even looks a little better. Either way call it high maintenance all ya want I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! If your stocking is at my house Santa usually leaves one or two. He knows and is watching ya know :0)

One Great Night~

I have been a Tanya Tucker fan since I was a little girl and when I say a fan it is probably like no other... if I ever have a little girl she will be named Delta Dawn.. It was on my list of names for my boys Grayson & Tucker (still not sure why I didn't at least get one of them?) My favorite Uncle Bud used to sing Delta Dawn to me as a little girl. I still hear him sing that song to me when it comes on the radio. We used to sing that whole album together so it holds a special place for me.
So when my husband called after a oh so crazy week, I hadn't been home had any sleep or even seen my kids all week. Yet it was Tanya Tucker and we were guest listed really NOWAY not missing that no matter if I was running on empty or not. It was oh so worth it hands down the best show I have ever seen... I think I have such a draw to her cause she has always been the bad girl of country. Never really gave a crap about what the rest thought said what she wanted, for sure was always different, she always stayed true to herself. Plus, back in the day she was a pretty hot lady.I just have always loved her voice and her music and I guess her rebel ways. I have to say I think I have every album she has ever put out and probably lost a few and bought them again. We hung out with her kids after the show and they are just as amazing as she is and all have wonderful voices and just as distinct as hers. Paul Overstreet showed up as a surprise to celebrate her birthday. We had been across the street for a few beers before the show and Paul came over and took the bar stool beside me that our friend Jayson was sitting on (he was on a potty break) which was kinda funny. Great guy and still has a great voice as well. Too bad we can't trade in these Justin Bebers, Hanna Montana, & Taylor Swifts and get back Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and a few others from the 80's the music from that decade just seems so solid. I will say the place was packed and sold out at $40 a ticket which I though was a little crazy but now oh so worth it I will so pay to go back. One observation I thought was interesting it was full of OLD people wasn't sure if I was gonna have to catch dentures or a depend undergarment..
