Grandpa's Cowboy Hat

On Saturday Dad had another garage sale. We had more stuff left from Grandma's house and he didn't have anymore room to put stuff. We found my Grandpa's cowboy hat. I'm so glad I have this hat :)

Birthday Boy

Today was Brent's birthday. He wanted to go to Sanger, TX to eat at Babe's.



If you are ever in North Texas, do yourself a favor and go eat at Babe's. There are several locations to pick from. They also have a steak place that's suppose to be really good but we haven't made it there. Yet :)



Cute right? Painted tractor seats.



We got there about 20 minutes before they opened. This place fills up fast, and usually has a long wait so Brent opened up his gifts while we waited.



He showed me this grinder a few weeks ago. I kept the flyer so I would get the right thing. He forgot that he showed it to me so he was surprised. Yesssss!



I knew Hannah had made some cards for her Dad but this one she took to school so her classmates could sign it too. She makes my heart full.



Hannah wanted her picture taken sitting on the tractor out front.



The birthday boy and the chicken.



Hannah let the waitress know really fast that it was Brent's birthday because she knew they make the birthday people put on a chicken hat. Brent started gobbling. It's not a turkey honey.



And nothing ends a wonderful birthday dinner more than a birthday biscuit.

Happy Birthday Brent. I love you more and more each day.

The Beginnings Of A Mancave

On Sunday Brent worked on his shop all day. We lived in here before we started and while we were building our house. He has moved walls to seperate the building with one half being his "mancave". I was going to make a section into a scrapbook room but I didn't want to worry about mice chewing on my stuff.

My Dad gave us his pool table. He is the sweetest. He just wanted a steak dinner in exchange. Can do!

After this project is finished, I may never see Brent again. Except for, well, you know :)

This past Friday was Hannah's official last cheer thing. Sorry but WOO HOO!!! She was really nervous but they did awesome.



Deers in headlights.



Wildcats are ready, wildcats are smooth....................



The last thing I told her before she went down was lock your legs. She did.

Halloween '09

We had a great Halloween. The weather was perfect.



We never got around carving pumpkins during the week so no time is better than the afternoon of Halloween :)



Her own design. Her words, not mine.



Colton had 2 friends over Friday night. One of the boys asked if I was going to roast the pumpkin seeds. Never done that before but thought I would give it a whirl. They were pretty good.



Hannah was a witch this year.



Ben was an engineer and Luke was Thomas The Train, again. He wanted to be a fireman, but changed his mind at the last minute. His parents are a lot nicer than CyCy.



Afterwards, Ben came in and started taking out his candy 1 piece at a time seeing what he got. It was so cute. He even shared a pixie stick with me.



Uncle Brent was checking out what he got too. Ben was keeping a close eye on him.



Willie Nelson says hope you had a fantastic Halloween.

Max

I am still here! I know I haven't updated when the husband asks what's going on with the blog. Things have slowed down just a bit with Hannah not running now. After this week, she will be down to only 1 activity after school so YEA! Colton only got to play 1 Sunday for Fall Baseball because of all the rain we have had this Fall. We have another day of sun then it's supposed to start raining again.

Sunday I needed to take some pictures to get me caught up for my picture of the day. (Just to let you know I'm glad that little project will be over soon. It's been fun and I know it will be neat to look back thru the years to see what we were doing but it's a pain in the butt.) Brent drove me around on the Ranger. Our dog Max loves to run with us but he hasn't done it in a long time. He was a little bit tired, to say the least, when we were done. So here's a few pictures I took of him when we were out and about Sunday afternoon.









Can you believe that Halloween is this Saturday? Crazy. We will do our thing at Dad's house. We always have hot dogs. This will be the first Halloween since Mom died so I'm dreading that a little. She loved Halloween. My sister and I put out decorations at Dad's house and then he bought more lights and stuff yesterday to put out. Mom would have been very proud :)

Sausage Cheese Puffs

We like to have "snackie" suppers at our house. I always make sausage balls. I came across this recipe a few years ago and it's the only way I make these babies now. They are great to have in the morning for leftovers with some scrambled eggs. Hope you like :)

1/2 C water
