Out of Her Shell? Much!

I had NO idea this was going on

in the back seat of my car

on the drive home from school

one day.  I guess Hunter had his

music playing too loud for me

to know there was a "photo

shoot" with my phone taking place...

I do not dish out the LOL's...

I reserve "LOL" for when I

TRULY do laugh outloud.

When I found these in the

 photos on my phone...

It.was.a.real.live.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hadlee is by nature very shy.

Lately, my family has noticed that

she is "coming out of her shell"

(with them at least)...

They could be on to something;)

OR this could be directly related

to being Walker D's sister

for the last five and a half years! ;)

WhatEVER the case,

I absolutely LOVE these pictures!

Haddie is about as petite as they come...

but everyone who has seen these pics has

 remarked how she looks chubby!

Especially her big brother...go figure!

I think it might be the angle of her

camera lens...not that it matters anyways!

She is the cutest, most funny little not really

chubby princess I've EVER known!!!

LOVE love LOVE her!!!!!!!!!

TWO YEARS OLD

This little impromptu photo shoot

absolutely captures my little love

 who was just about to turn

TWO sweet years old.................

He is cute!

He is funny!

He loves Buzz!

He is sweet!

He loves Woody!

He is curious!

He is a stinker!

He is cuddly!

He is amazing!

He IS my heart!

He is pure joy!

He is dreamy!

He is tender hearted!

He is SO fun!

I am SO in love with this

little guy from the top of

his blond head to the bottoms

of his precious toes and feet

for ALL that he is!!!!!

He is perfect to me!

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:13-16

While the Big Boys are Away...

While the big boys are gone to the deer

lease, we manage as best as we can. 

That usually means by shopping!  ;)

We also do Hudsy's hair in ways

that Walker won't normally let us;)

AND text pictures like THIS one to

Daddy to tell him that he SHOULD

have taken Hudson with them!!!

We don't really mean that

because then who would entertain

us like Hudson does?!?

What is the way to Haddie's heart?!?

Why Build-a-Bear Workshop of course!!!

This was Hudson's first time to

actually get his very OWN bear!!!

Huds didn't quite know what to think...

but Sister did and I sure hope

her wish comes true! 

Who is it that knows the way

into Haddie's heart?!?

That would be Uncle Wendell!

This was ALL his treat for Christmas:)

It's no coincidence that Hudson is

literally hanging on Wendell's leg...

Hudson ADORES Uncle Wendell!

Hadlee's gift card was for so much

that she got to pick out ANOTHER bear!

She let Hudson put in the

heart for her next bear...

Hunter & Lynna came along

for the fun, too!

Lynna is CRAZY over my kids!

Hudson dug into my wallet,

got my debit card out

and was swiping it on this

computer!!!!!!!  THAT KID!

We had such a fun time

and I thought it was so cute

that they wanted to come along...

especially Wendell. 

I love how my kids love him

AND vice versa!

LOVe being with my two little H's...

but always miss Walkman

when he isn't with us, too. 

OF course Haddie girl has

to have a slice of cookie cake!

Grandmother joined us later...

and Hunter got an awesome hair cut!

He's so handsome!!!

We hated to brag, but we had to

text these pics to Brother & Daddy!

Couldn't believe they had a

BUZZ bear for Huds!

Finished off our day at

Chickfila and of course on a few rides! 

The next day involved laying around
with our new Build-a-Bears
waiting on the Big Boys to get home...

And of course a late morning
trip to Shipley's:)

We do manage to have fun when

the big boys are away,

but we also miss them SO MUCH!
Hadlee literally cried her little heart out one

of the nights missing "Bubba" and Daddy.  :(

Too sweet..........

Hudson's Hunting Story ...

Wahooooooo...I've been

hearing all this talk about a hunting

trip with Daddy & Walker.

My mom put me in Walker's old

camo shirt so I'm thinking I get to go, too!

Check out my BIG brother. 

He is so cool!

Some day those hunting boots

will be mine;)

My mommy gets all teary eyed

when her big boy is leaving.

She thinks he is growing up too fast...

OH yeah, I'll help Daddy

out here in the garage get

things loaded up.  I'm SO in;)))

Here goes mom being all

sentimental again...

She thinks Walker is so handsome...

He is nine years old

and I want to be just like him!

Give it up, Mom!!!!!!!!!

Much better!  Let's talk about

this trip, Bubs......

Mommy is back at it again...

making us all pose on the back of the

truck before "we" leave. 

Mom seems to think we are

the three cutest kids in the world;)

Look how funny Walker is!
This trip is going to be a blast!!!

Gotta load up...

Not sure why Daddy is lovin'

on me like this....

I guess mommy just wanted

a picture of us before we left?!?

I usually reserve my sweet

kisses like this for mommy, BUT...

I'll dish 'em out to daddy

right now so I can guarantee my spot

on the hunting trip;)

DA BOYS! :)

Wahooo...Bubs is even taking

his BB gun!!!!!!!!

So much to get ready before

we leave for the deer lease....

There's my cute sister. 

She's pumped that we are leaving;)

Not really...she was all teary

eyed herself saying how much

she was gonna miss Daddy & Bubba.

What about ME?

Bubs and I having a heart to heart....

still not sure why he keeps saying,

"maybe next trip"???

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I made it into the truck!!! 

I normally don't get to ride in the

front seat like this,

but hey...I'll go with it!

Not really sure why Bubba thinks

things are funny..............

Hadlee is all serious over

there riding her bike and acting

like it doesn't bother her

that we are leaving...

Now Daddy is giving sister kisses.

It must be time to leave! :)

Why is Mom telling me to

come to her?!?  Even reaching

over to grab me???????

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

I really didn't get to go.  :(((

Daddy says I need to

be a little bit bigger :(

Great,

another weekend with the girls.

And everyone wonders why

I like to put on mascara!  ;)
