Weekend Update ;)

Well we honestly didn't do much this last weekend at all! Friday night we just hung out at the house with Ashtyn and Jarrod and watched boy movies...which were awful! We didn't really feel like getting out and doing anything which was really nice. Saturday we once again didn't feel like doning much so we woke up extra late and made a big breakfast! Biscuits, gravy, bacon, sausage, eggs,....you name it, we had it! We spent the day just cleaning around the house and then at 6 on Saturday night we had a surprise birthday party for Nathan's aunt Randa (her real name is Miranda :). They had it at Jose's and it was really fun! We just enjoyed a night of fun and socializing! After the party, Jarrod and Ashtyn came over once again but this time to watch girly Christmas movies! LOL! We watched Christmas with the Cranks...too cute! Sunday, we skipped church because it was the last day of gun season here in Arkansas and Nathan and his dad would NOT miss that for the world! Of course no one got anything but they just love to go :) Well I hope that everyone else had a good weekend and is having a good start to their week!

An Avey Thanksgiving!

Well we had a very good first Thanksgiving as a married couple! We had 3 to attend and boy was I feeling it! By day 2 my stomach was NOT happy with me! I just love Thanksgiving and the time we get to spend with our families! I have a bunch of pics below that I took! Enjoy!


The girls slaving in the kitchen....and Dad! LOL!


The boys watching football......

Shelley's cute little pumpkin pies!

Apple dumplings that I made.....these are my fav :)

Sooo my cousin Shelley does not like sweet potatoes.....do not ever tell any of the boys in my family you do not like something! The following is the reason why:

1) They hold you down in a chair knowing that you can't get up because there is no way you are strong enough to fight back.....

2) They get a spoonful of whatever it is you don't like.......

3) You end up almost getting sick because they force it in your mouth...YUCK! LOL! She was not a happy camper!

This is me and my "boyfriend" Michael....he is my cousin Shelley's son. He is sooo funny! He really likes me and on Thanksgiving day was going to propose to me! HAHA! He is 4 and thinks that we need to get married! He has me a ring and all! He forgot it at home that day so he was really sad but Shelley said that he planned all day to bring my ring to me and give it to me! It was a skull and crossbone ring and he had a matching one! HAHA! How cute is he! I just love this little man!

Me, Shelley and MiKael.....2 of my favorite people :)

Shelley, Memaw, MiKael and Lily Grace

The men in my life.....Dad, Dalton and Tater :)

Deer Camp 11/21-11/23 :)

Hell0 there! Well its been a while since I posted because we have been so super busy! Not sure with what but we have been! This weekend was so much fun! We had planned on spending all weekend at our family farm in Oaks, OK but on Friday morning, last minute, Nate's BFF Aaron called him and watned him to go hunting with him down in Morrow, AR....needless to say, I headed off to deer camp alone! It was still sooooo much fun! It ended up being me, my brother Dalton, Aunt Dar, Uncle Mike, my cousins MiKael, Shelley and Jarrod, Jim (MiKaels husband), Brian (Shelley's husband), Kobye and Michael (Shelley and Brian's boys) and Lily Grace (MiKael and Jim's daughter)! It was a blast! Dalton and I headed over Friday night after Nate headed off. We woke up at 5:00 on Saturday morning and headed off into the deer woods. Shelley and I were posted together that morning. We didn't really have any luck but we could see Brian and Dalton sitting in the other deer stand. All the sudden, we see Brian shoot and some doe head off over the hill. We make it to them and Brian had shot a buck! We tracked it all morning and didn't find the body anywhere! We were really bummed but were excited that someone had finally got to shoot at something! We headed back in for a breakfast of chocolate gravy, biscuits, white gravy, bacon, sausage and eggs all made with love by Aunt Dar! Yummy!! It was delish! We then headed back out to the woods and heard another shot. Again, Brian was the one shooting and he hit a doe! As we were tracking his doe we also stumbled upon his buck from earlier! It ended up being a 7 point! It was so exciting! Jarrod and Shelley also shot at some coyote throughout the day but Brian was our only one to come back with the prize! We went back out this morning and Uncle Mike got a buck! Not a big one but still a buck! Dalton and I then headed home because we were EXHAUSTED! Hunting will wear you out! HAHA! Anyway, I dropped Dalton back off at my parents and then I headed home! I am sooo glad to be home and can't wait for Nathan to get back! He shot a bobcat this morning down in Morrow where they are hunting and I am soooo excited to see it and him! I have missed him sooo much! This is our first time to be apart since getting married and it is has been very weird! I am ready to see him thats for sure!



Brian and his friends!


Getting ready to dress the deer!

Michael being silly! Hes sooo sweet! He told me "I wuv you Cwissy cuz you gots white hair"....how stinkin sweet is that :) He wants me to marry him...not sure how that will go over with Nate! LOL!

The plate I was shooting at! Notice the 2 bullet holes almost dead in the center of the plate....yes, that was me :)

The house on the farm....Its soooo peaceful out there!

Us Girls (MiKael, Shelley and Me) on our way out to the deer woods......our question was, why does camo always make you look so bulky??

Well I hope that everyone has a GREAT Thanksgiving week this week! We have a busy week ahead with all of our family get-togethers! I love this time of year! I am off Thursday and Friday and am soooo very thankful for it! I need the days off! We will start out Thanksgiving night with dinner at Nate's aunts house for his mom's side of the family then Thanksgiving day we will have lunch with my mom's side of the family and dinner with my Dad's side of the family! Lets just say I hope I don't come back weighing 10 lbs. more! LOL! Friday morning, Mom and I will get up at 3 AM and go out Black Friday shopping with all of the other crazy people out there! We are both soooo excited and can't wait! We usually strategize on Thanksgiving day so we know where we want to go and what we need to get! I think we do it more for the excitment of it than anything! After that, I will come back home to Nate and we will head back to the farm in Oklahoma to the deer woods with all the family again! I just love hunting season! I will post again later when I get pics of Nate's bobcat for everyone to see!

Have a great week!! :)

Guess what I did.....

I put up my Christmas tree last weekend! I could not even resist! Its very non-traditional (kinda like me) and Im so excited its finally up! When Nate walked in and saw it for the first time his mouth hit the floor I think....hes not used to having a crazy tree in his living room I guess :) My mom started putting hers up the day after Halloween a few years ago because she just has so many of them, it felt like she was getting them all up and then taking them all down within no time. So we decided that instead of putting them up on Thanksgiving like normal, we would switch it up a little and put them up on Halloween! Plus, you get to enjoy it a lot longer! We also started Christmas shopping a few weeks ago! Obviously I have Christmas fever already! I just love this season! I will have my other tree up soon hopefully! Its a little more traditional and will be going in either Nate's office or our bedroom.....not sure yet :)

My very non-traditional tree....dont you love it!



I also decided to take some pics of our newest family members like I have been promising. I also took some of our other babies!

My girl Biscuit! Isn't she sweet! Shes always up for a photo-op!

Ole' Guinness....he is so rotten! Im surprised he wasn't jumping all over me for this picture!

Here is Briscuit! One of our new long horn heifers!

Here is from left to right: Nutter, Peaches and Creme, eating their dinner

And here is Butter, and Peaches and Creme again.

And the big Papa.....Willy the Billy! HAHA!

On a side note, I went to Franchesca's on my lunch break today....they have some WAYYYY cute new fall items in! Definetly need to check it out if you get a chance! I know I am going to be taking Nate there so he can do some Christmas shopping :) Well have a GREAT rest of the week!

See ya!
