Morton Madness

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Kansas City.  I packed everyone except for Justin and had everything checked twice so we would not forget anything. We were in the car at 8:20 that morning ready to meet mom and Carlie so they could follow us since dad and Nic had gone up a few days earlier to hunt.  We make it to 380 and Custer and come to a screeching halt!  We left BABY at home, the tears were flowing and the sobs echoed throughout the car.  I went to get baby and Sophia insisted on getting her and guess what... she never made it to the car. I even did a sweep before we left the house!  I asked Sophia where baby was and she said, "on the closet floor".   We turned around and sure enough, baby was on the closet floor over in a corner.   We were back on the road and about two hours out I hear Luke say, "mooooooommmmmm".   I could not get my seat belt off fast enough.  I knew EXACTLY what that "moooooommmmmm" meant.  It was ...

Luke always makes us laugh! I don't know where he comes up with this stuff.

Not sure where she learned this move... Over the last few weeks she will stop what she is doing and strike this pose. The pics are horrible but I did not have time to grab the real camera. Disclaimer: She may or may not have learned this from Dance Moms or Honey Boo Boo.

This morning Justin headed out with Mark and Chad for their first hunt of the season. They headed out to their normal spot and saw that someone had built a blind. It was only big enough for one person so they started adding on to make it bigger. They got their decoys set out, settled into the blind and were waiting for legal shooting time when they saw a headlamp coming from the other side of the lake. It was a single hunter. They flashed a light at him to let him know they were there. The stranger walked up and said, "hey, y'all are in my blind" to which Justin responds "well, you did a good job but we're making it a little bigger". Justin tells the stranger he's welcome to hunt with them and he walks right into the blind and assumes his position....didn't introduce himself or anything. It was an awkward moment so Justin and Chad kept expanding the blind so it would accommodate 4 hunters.  Finally Justin introduces himself to the stranger ...

November 5, 2012 will be a day Uncle Jason will never forget! He has been trying for over TWO years to win his Sugar Britches over. For some reason she has always been terrified of him. We do not know if it has gone on for so long because we all laugh and make a big deal of it or what. Sunday night after the kids were in bed Jason brought some things over for Seth and Sophia. One of the things was Carolines first bike. Monday morning when Sophia woke up she saw all the new toys he brought over. She asked where they came from and I told her Uncle Jason brought them. Then I showed her the bike and she was super excited. A few hours had passed and she was talking to Seth and I heard her tell him that Uncle Jason had brought the toys. I immediately grabbed my phone and asked her what she was saying and recorded it. We got ON TAPE her saying, "thank you Uncle Jason, I love you Uncle Jason". I did ask her questions for her to answer but she said it!!! Again Tuesd...

Sean had his second annual Sausage Fest for the Tech/UT game.  Justin and I were horrible parents and decided to go and leave Jonah and Luke with Mimi so she could take them to their LAST basketball game of the season.  We dropped  the boys off at moms house around 12:30 and headed out to Ft. Worth for the game.  The weather was gorgeous and we watched the game outside on the new patio area he had just finished.   He had about 12 different German Sausages, German Beer, and all the fixin's.  I am proud to say that I actually tried three of the types.  I will admit they were not that bad.  It was so fun to see everyone we have not seen in a while, Scott and Lea Mars, Sean, Monica, Lance and Laurie.  It is so crazy to see all these guys with kids.  Scott and Lea just had their 2nd, Sean will have number two in March and Lance has a 16 month old.   Fraternity Brothers Mars, Mort, Stud and Delt pledge Lush Stud being St...
