Momma, he said a bad word...

Ok, so I know this story will not be near as funny as when Brody told it to me but just image Brody and his dramatics while reading.

We were headed home Monday after school and Brody tells me he has something he needs to tell me. He sounds very serious and upset. Of course, I believe the worse that he must have gotten into some trouble at school. So, I move my rear view mirror so I can see him and he starts:

Brody: Momma, Weston said a bad word today at school.

Me: Really, what did he say (for those of you who do not know, Weston and Brody teach the class a wonderful vocabulary. His mother and I compare notes a couple of times a week to see who has the most interesting words. Brody has some interesting words.)

Brody: Momma, I just can't tell you. (he has his head down and is shaking it like it is horrible)

Me: Now Brody, it could not have been that bad, just tell mommy what he said.

Brody: Well momma, Stone said it first (another friend in his class with some behavioral issues.) and Weston said it too.

Me: Brody, tell mommy what they said. You will not get in trouble just tell me this once.

Brody: Momma, I just can't. It was a bad word. (I am thinking to myself, this must be terrible. Brody is really upset. I can tell he wants to tell me but is scared he is going to get in trouble.)

Me: Brody, just tell mommy.

Brody: Well, it is not as bad of words as you and daddy say. (I almost lost it)

Me: Really...

Brody: Ok momma, (he is still looking down and shaking his head) he said SHUT UP!!!!

Of course, I just wanted to laught but I continued and was just as dramatic. I told him that was a bad word and we do not say that.

If only shut up was the worst thing Brody had said I would be happy.

Chocolate - For Sale!!!

Saturday was a big day for Brody... He signed up for T-BALL!!!!! He seems excited but doesn't really have any idea about practice and games. It should be a hoot. After I paid the necessary fee to play, the lady said, "Don't forget your box of chocolates." So, now I am going to be one of those people at work begging you to buy my chocolate.

Give Brody a call if you want to help him win a prize!!!

Just A Couple Of New Pics

I know I have not posted in a long time but we have been very busy. I am doing good to keep my head above the water lately. I just wanted to post a couple of new pictures for Aunt Vonda. I hope you enjoy...

What A Sight!!!

For the last couple of years we have been seeing white tail deer in our area but had never seen any on our property until this year. The only deer we have been seeing are does but we have seen several bucks around us. So, for Christmas I decided to get Bill a game camera so we could see what was going on out in the pasture. We put up a deer feeder and just waited. To our amazement this is what we are seeing, this is only one of the many (over 1000 pictures) that we have gotten:

Bill is so excited, ok, we all are. But, Bill has always wanted a place of his own with deer. We can not wait to get home in the afternoons to get the card and see what was out the night before. We even have a couple of pictures of an elk bull. I will post more pictures later on!!

Happy Annivesary!!!

Tuesday is our 6th anniversary. I can not believe it has already been 6 years. I want wish my husband a Happy Anniversay and thank you for making me the happiest lady ever. You make all my dreams and wishes come true. Thank you for everything you do. I look forward many more years to come!!!

It's that time again...

....Muttin Bustin' that is. Brody will participate this Saturday, January 3rd and 7:00 p.m. at the HOT fairgrounds. He is excited but not near as excited as he was the first time. He knows what to expect this time. He said he is only going to ride because Aunt Vonda and Uncle Edgar will be there to watch. (I see where I rate now...). Give us a call if you are going to be there and we will all try to sit together and cheer my little cowboy on!!!

It Is Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

We have finally found the time to put up our Christmas Tree. We did not get the lights on the house or any of our outside decorations up but at least the inside is decorated. Brody decorated the tree so note all the decorations are pretty much in the middle and on the bottom. He did a great job, has redecorated every day and has broke 3 ornaments.

Sunday when I got out of the shower, I came in the kitchen and the airplane decoration was on the cabinet with the propellor broken. I asked him what happened and he said he did not know. I asked him if he broke it and he said no, of course. I then said, did it just fly off of the tree and land on the cabinet and break? He looked me in the eyes and said, Yes mama. I just looked at him and he finally told me the truth.

Brody is really ready for Santa Claus. He was very concerned because we do not have any presents under the tree. I let him know there would be presents soon. That made him feel a little better. I told him Santa would be putting presents under the tree also. But he had to be good. Well, when he woke up Sunday, he walked into the living room and was really upset. He said, mama, there are no presents under the tree and I have been good. It was hard to keep from laughing but I told him it wasn't time for Santa yet. He was relieved.

Today we were a little under the weather so we stayed home. I wanted to do a little baking so we made 2 loaves of Pumpkin Cranberry Bread, Gingerbread and Fudgie Oatmeal Bars. Brody had so much fun helping and he did great helping me.

Now I just have to get this stuff out of my house so I do not eat every bit of it. I have a plate for my work, Bill's work and the daycare. They should enjoy.
