Saturdays are FUN days

Saturday, oh how I love Saturdays.  This Saturday was indeed packed to its fullest potential.  It started off bright and early.  Typically Drake wakes up around 7:30-7:45 but this morning, he woke us up at 7:01.  Jason and I were awake, just laying in bed chit-chatting about our day.  We got some good, high quality family cuddle time in though, before the chores, work load and festivities began.  I headed off to work, a FULL day.  Jason, Drake and Captain (one of Jason's really good friends)  headed off to the Ranch (Corsicana) for some "boy time"  shootin' guns and fishing.  When I finally got off work, and got home.  I was greeted with these two handsome boys, eagerly awaiting my arrival. :)  Then we headed off for some fun at the Grimes Halloween party.  Soooo much fun.  The pictures will show all the FUN we had.  Happy SATURDAY ya'll!

Perfect chaos

I titled this blog 'perfect chaos' because it's soooo my family!  I would like no part in being perfect.  I don't try at all to act, or play the part.  I simply live life to the fullest and if we accomplish great things along the way, that's just bonus, Amen?  The chaos part well, that's easy to explain...just take a look at the few photos I have shared with this blog.  Well, after a very cooped up "sick"day, when Daddy got home Drake and Mommy were anxious to do something.  With the Ranger game being postponed, there was nothing left to do but carve our pumpkin.  I really don't know why we carve a pumpkin?  We don't display it on our front door step, their is nobody around to see it.  Anyways, we sure had a GREAT time doing it.

So cute this little dude!

Let the carving begin!

So in love...

I guess he was still hungry?

Let this be the start of my chaos description...

                                               Two handsome boys with our Jack 'o lantern!

It's all in the eyes...

I can remember being a kid and my mom would say to people, "I just know Hilary or Clinton is getting sick, I can see it in their eyes."  Do I ever know what she was talking about now that I have a little one.  I can glance at Drake and know if something is wrong.  That was definitely the case Monday night and Tuesday morning.  Praise God, it didn't last long!!!  Just a little cough and fever but nothing donuts served on your favorite Mickey Mouse plate, paired with his favorite beverage (milk)  and here's what topped it off, being aloud to eat it in the living room!!  

                          Look at those sick, yet sweet eyes.  Sure glad they have their twinkle back!

On your mark, get set...BLOG!

Okay, so here we are just a few short months away from 2012.  Seriously, 2012...how weird does that sound??  Well, weird or not...it's almost here.  I am sooo excited about starting this blog.  I have gone to sign up several times before and with everything else that I do,  I always like to run it by the hubby.  Every time I would bring it up, he always responded with; "I don't want my life on the internet!"  Well, I agreed with him every time and just went on.  It wasn't until this past Monday evening on the way to a women's bible study, with a sweet friend that she convinced me!  All it took for her to say was instead of scrapbooking,  I blog.  You see, I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING! Like, love it!!  But it's nearly impossible to do with a toddler around.  Just as soon as you get it all out during nap time and scrap a page, it's time to put it all away.  And the cost...should I even go there??  So, she tells me that she does this and prints the books...how smart is she?  SMART!!! So, here's to my first BLOG, CHEERS!!!
