Little Pigs Have Big Ears!!!

So last week our poor dog Tank, got in with the cows, and it didn't turn out well for him.  When I finally realized he was in a BAD way, we dropped everything and ran him out to the vet.   Luckily nothing was broke,( which I thought for sure that there was) but he is one sore puppy!  So I had all 3 kids with me, and a 40lb pup that I had to carry in!  of course Tate was so upset.  I couldn't get a hold of anyone to see if they could come get the kids. ( I DID NOT want them there if I had to make that awful decision)!!! Finally I got a hold of GG, and once again she came to the rescue.!!!!

So on their way home they were talking about Tank, and she was reassuring that he would be alright, then my mom said " well we could always get another baby!"

Tate spoke right up..." oh no, we DO NOT need anymore babies at our house!"  " Besides, I heard Uncle Steve ask mom about more babies, and she said, that the baby factory was CLOSED!!!!"
 HAHAHHAHHA!!!

Well he was right!!!!!!LOL!!  Kids crack me up!!! I laughed hard when my mom told me!!!!

Stitches!!!!

We were having such a fun Saturday night.....we had a fire going, we played a little Uno, and then the wrestling started!!!! And you know what they say, it is all fun and games until somebody gets hurt!!!! LOL!  Reese went to jump into Taylor arms but he didn't know that was the plan, and she hit the rock fireplace....right on her eyebrow!!! 

I thought for sure that Whit would be the first ER trip, but Reese beat him to it!!!  I know that I say it all the time that she is little, but scrappy.......the nurse and the Dr. understood completely!!!! At first they chuckled a bit by me saying she was feisty...( like they hear it all the time, which I am sure they do).....BUT......   when it came time to stitching.....it took 4 us us to hold all 24lbs of her down! She was trying to bite the nurses finger the whole time...so hard at times...he thought he might be next in line for a stitch!!!!!   Taylor had the worst part because he was holding her chest down.  My stomach is too weak to handle the oozing...and I was not about to have her look me in the eyes and know that I was part of the meanies holding her down!!  After is was all over I scooped her up and loved on her like I couldn't believe they did that to her!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!! 

So...... .12 stitches later we are on the mend!! Now we have to go have them taken out!!!! Anyone want to go!!!!!??????!!!!!!!

 2 attempts at the topical numbing agent, because she wouldn't hold still!  But then one thing she did like was her pink bracelet!!!!

Yes, that is wet  sweaty hair from her fighting and struggling while they were stitching....we were all leaking by the time they got done!!!

Happy Nappers!!!

They have worn themselves right out!!!

Halloween Happiness!!

The annual Halloween party at GG and Grandpa's was a hit again.  The kids have so much fun, they could care less about trick or treating, they just want to go there!!  The food was yummy, the games were a hit and the costumes were great!!! Thanks GG and Grandpa!!

What Halloween would be complete without a half marathon!!! It really is a fun one, people are so creative with their costumes!!! Mine was for my good friend Shelly!!

The Witches!!!

Celebrating at Gardner Village is always one of the things that we all look forward to the most this time of year!  Breakfast with the Witches was one of the best this year.  The kids all had a blast, and got right into it!! Brazilla the Witch fell in love with Tanner, and sang her heart out to him!!! He was a great sport and let her swoon all over him!!!  Frankie got his fair share of attention too, although he wasn't quite sure how to take it!!

CRaZy hAt!!!!!!!

It was crazy hat day at school for Tater!!!  He made his crazy hat all by himself, with the hot glue gun, and a few of his favorite things!!!  He even got picked to go in front of the whole school and show it off!!!  His imagination still boggles me!!! He is one crafty kid!!!! I love it!!!
