Long time no talky...

Bird, bird, bird, bird is the wo-herd..

Thats what my handsome little man has been singing lately..

For more updates, leave your address, cause this blog is going private!!

I always hate when people do this, but there is just something about people from other countries leaving me messages, that kinda uh i dont know.. freaks me out! So.. I will be doing te big change here pretty soon..

Lots of catching up.. and some new stuff too!! :)

Peace love Private..

oh and p.s. dont forget about the little princess who is turning into quite the drama queen! (imagine that :))

Halle-freakin-lujah

I DID IT!

I really did!

AND, It was sooo easy, really..

Once you sit down a really start thinking what you are grateful for, the juices just start flowin..

you know what I mean?

I had to stop myself..

(thats a good feeling!)

I really am grateful for soo much,

I'm just a whiner!

I mean really.. how can you not be grateful with these wonderful "things" in your life...

The LOVE of my life..

(although he may not LOVE that i put this on, so dont tell)

My first born.. the wild man he is growing up to be..

My princess.. Also wild.. and SASSY. But thats how we Roll!

My CrAzY sister..

My Mom, The Great! :)

My Dad.. and his fish...

Grampa Grape
(as blaine would say)

Gramma Grape..

(These two old love birds hold a special spot in my heart.. I love them so much. I am glad that my kids will get to know them!){i'm not gonna lie.. I'm a little teared up right now}

I guess thats what comes along with this whole

"GRATEFUL" stuff..

now for the Reason for this whole post...

(drum roll please)

AND THAT MY FRIENDS..

IS A WRAP...

PEACE.. LOVE.. GRATEFUL!

HUNT...... OUT!

Attitude Adjustment...

Other worthy titles:

"Don't Worry Be Happy"

"Serenity Now"

"The Simple Things"

"Psycho Hose Beast"

"Cheese with my whine"

It's been about a week. No, two probably. I'm in a rut, man. I'm in full anti-cook mode, the patience levels are at all time lows, and the messy-house resistance sure feels point-less.

Could it be 'cause my underwear don't fit no more?

Or that Jillian Michaels is making me cry while I try to make them fit?

Or could it be 'cause we're up way too early and up way to late?

Or maybe it's my Roxies' whiny phase,

Or my Blainers' I can do it myself-macho-man-your-not-my-mom-anymore-attitude?

Or It might also be that I got my wisdom teeth out on the 4th..

I was really worried about what I would say while conked out on drugs..

Well, my worst nightmare came true!

No I didnt start bustin out some gospel rap, or talking dirty in Spanish..

oh no.. I just popped the big "F" Bomb at the Jack In The box...

(fyi-that is the first time in my life I have ever said that-NOT A LIE)

I am ashamed.. and I always thought when that day came I would be able to sing-

Blame it on the Aaaaaalchol.. not my luck. DANG!

or or or. . .

That's it! I've had it!!

We got no jobs, we got no food, our pets heads are falling off. . . (dumb and dumber-fyi!)

Okay that not all true, but close... (we do have worms though! Worm farm that is)

OKAY-Nothings really wrong here.

I don't want to feel like poo when poo's not happening. Well, 'poo' is, but figuratively speaking.

So I saw this idea (and I can't remember where). It's a "things that make me happy" sign. The simple, easy, little things. And I said, Self.. You NEED ONE!!!

So, its 10:30, Here I sit, a little Johnny playin in the background. TRYING, Trying, TRying, to fill a whole page with things that make me happy..

Seriously, don't ask how many times I have, Circle K Dr. Pepper, Nap time, and Bed time..

Some may say I am a bad mother.. But, Whoever has the go-nads to even think that.. You would probably feel the same, if you had the pleasure to experience the last week or two in the Hunt Home..

Now like I said before. I'm in a rut.. or something stupid like that..

Well what ever the heck it is.. I hope its over soon..

(so does my house!)

Due to this so called "rut" I have been rally bad at blogging

I am going to do better, I promise..

Dear blog.. I didn't forget you...

This is my attempt to start getting caught up...

Oh wow.. this is super blurry!! Ha oh well, This is my little ninja girl. this is the only way I can get this girl to wear a head band!!!

For FHE a few weeks ago, we went out and had a hot dogs and s'mores, over a fire. We took the guns and had a shoot out!!

{i beat nick, shh.. dont tell him i told!}

Blaine shooting the 22.

He is a beginner so we will let this slide. that is the bush as we were driving away. We are all a little rusty I'd say. :(
Me and Roxie freezing our butts off.

{i wish}

Building the fire.

They were both so interested. It made me a nervous wreck.

FIRE!!!

Waiting for their dinner..

{did i mention it was cold?}

We had so much fun. We are waiting for another Semi-warm day to do it again!

In the End, it was a perfect afternoon..


In other news.

Did I happen to mention that we got a ton of snow?!

Like I mean, knee-deep-cant-get-out-of-your-drive-way-snow.

Nick shoveling the sidewalks.

I had to keep him busy, since he couldn't go to work..

{because of the snow}

There is my front yard and my car, and my neighbors house,

I think that we all suffered form cabin fever. but my kids.. they really suffered. they were bouncing off the walls! {literally}...

Blaine likes to have picnics in my front room, I dont like it, but oh well.. he is the boss of this house. {or so he tells me}

We had a Great Christmas! The kids loved it!! Especially Santa!!

Roxie got babies and strollers and BOTTLES...

{Roxie has been off a bottle for a year now, and for some reason these baby bottles are more than she can stand!}

She got a kitchen, but blaine still thinks its his!

baby carrier..

Blaine got a barn set, a big tonka truck with a four wheeler, and dress ups!!

December was a CRAZY month.. my poor kids were sick almost the whole month. Hopefully this year will be a healthier one!!!

and that is the rest of the story..

Peace, Love, Almost caught up!!!!

All of the above...

So, these are going back in time.. I am too lazy to switch them around!!

Ahh.. Blaine and Roxie DO love each other!!This is my very own chimney sweep!!

{He did a very nice job I might add}

Miss Roxie on the day after Thanksgiving..

OK so, I HATE TO SHOP!!

My Mom and Melissa and Kim pressured me into going to STUPID black Friday.

{yes I did give into peer pressure}

{YES, I am now done with Christmas, AND, I may or may not have had a little bit of fun, BUT. thats besides the point!}

I figured since it was at midnight, I would be fine!

So, nick dressed me so I could be warm!

Jacket and jeans, and a scarf..

Jacket, Jeans, Scarf, Wool Coat..

Jacket, Jeans, Scarf, Wool Coat, Trench Coat..

I look like I am in the Mafia. haha!

{funny thing is, we didnt stand outside in line, they just let you in}

{{ thank goodness for missionary coats:) }}

Here is blaine on a cold day, he always wears his hat backwards!

NERD!

We had a picnic one day, 4 boys and me and roxie!

Then we helped some friends cut up their deer.. for some reason I really like to do this?!

Then we had a sleep over!!
