October Happenings

Things have finally slowed down for Jones and I. Cody got all his helpers back, weaned 60ish fawns already and jones and I have been passing a bug back and forth, back and forth. The last 3 weekends we have been blah.

We ventured out yesterday for a bit to go see Cheif and came across a fawn with a huge thorn in his mouth....poor baby. We darted him and pulled it out.....ouch.

 

It was almost as long as Cody's finger....ouch.

That's the same thorn thing (off a mesquite tree?) that was on Jones' trampoline a few months back that got stuck in my head. I did a flip, didn't know there was a thorn stick and then Jones' eyes get huge. I thought it was just tangled in my hair, when I start pulling it, I pull it it some more and more and bam, it finally hit me I just pulled a 3 inch thorn out of my head. Then jones started screaming and hugging me making sure I was ok....poor thing.

Jones got to love on Chief while we dr. the fawn.

Pearsall had their homecoming!

We met up with some friends! We had a lot of fun.

And here came round 3 of the sickness.

Dove hunting and J is like this........huge red flag. By bedtime he had a fever:(

The day after his fever broke we had to get some sunshine! We skipped church again today to to make sure jones wouldn't pass his germs around to his friends. We went to the golf course instead!! It was a beautiful day!

Here's to a healthy week! We are tired of rotating sickness every weekend!

My Parental Motto

I know one thing for certain in this world. I am a good mom.

When Cody and I were "talking" babies, before there was a baby, I always told him this. I've always known what kind of mom I would be.....always.

Not sure if Cody and I have layed the law down perfectly or if our kid came out this good on his own but Jones is the best! And when you have the sweetest heart in the whole wide world, you should cater to that heart and try not to mess it up. It's scary to think sometimes, that The Lord trusted me with this special little one!

 

On days J wants to cuddle ALL day, we do.

On days J wants 30 foot rubs, he gets.

On days it's yucky outside and j wants to play in the tub for an hour and snack on cookies, we do.

And as much as we love on, kiss on and cater to his needs......we have to discipline him too and that's a whole another post!

September Shenanigans

Cody has had 3 full time helpers this summer. Last week one went to Mexico to visit family, one left to go guide hunts for another ranch and one got the boot. The one who went to Mexico usually only goes for a week at a time and then comes back but he was gone for 3 weeks this time. This time on his way home, he takes a bus, the cartel pulled the bus over, made everyone get off and then took off with the bus and everyone's stuff. Luckily, he had all his important documents and paperwork in his boots to get back to the States. While he was out 3 workers he put me and Jones to work! I got to bottle feed 100 fawns, work deer, feed deer, help move deer, cut antlers, vaccinate fawns, and move fawns....... Cody was busy cutting antlers so I decided to take initiative and move our weaned fawns myself. This one little crack head would not move. I nudged and nudged and he just stared at me. I've seen Cody pick them up and move them before and decided I could do that to. I knew when I picked it up it would start kicking like a big mambajamba. I picked that sucker up, and it started wailing. Unfortunately for me I picked it up wrong. I picked it up like you would a dog and I should have picked it up like a football, ha! That little Cracker Jack jacked up my leg, ripped my favorite work out pants and scarred me for life, ha! I got him moved though like a wounded champ!

Lil Chief is weaned! It's amazing to see these deer and how they respond to our little love. Cody and I can feed and the deer are like whatever. When Jones is with us they come running!!

Deer whisperer for sure!

Cody took a break midweek one day and we picked jones up from school and took him to the park to ride his bike and got a pizza! He was so excited and so worn out too he was like bipolar. One minute he was in a daze and then the next jumping in his seat he was so excited.

We've had at least 40 hunters here the last 3 weekends of dove season and 60 one weekend!! Doodee's company booked a hunt for some of his guys this weekend so Jones got to join in on the fun!

I was feeling under the weather last week. I thought I was just worn out from all the running around with Cody, plus a hurt leg, plus I walked straight off our pack porch stairs and busted it good.......just having a rough week all around. Woke up sick this weekend made me feel better about my off week,ha.

After laying in bed for 3 days and Jones taking care of me we got to venture out on Sunday after the hunters left. We found a pumpkin patch right down the road that has everything and their dog to do! We will definitely be back!!!!

We were there for 3 hours and didn't get to play with everything! We got to paint a pumpkin!

Golfing around! The tree looked like a snail.

The train was the best. They weaved in and out of trees and got to put their hands out and touch stuff.

They had a hay ride, park, slides, petting zoo, bowling, tic tac toe, mazes and more mazes.

Garner State Park Fun

Cody has been busy with Dove hunters the past two weekends. Jones and I have been trying to entertain ourselves and find fun new things to see and do.

After playing trains ALL day one day I needed a change!

We said bye to dad and went exploring!

I watched Seven Days in Utopia several years ago and fell in love with the town. After googling the town I found out it was real life, ha! Flipping thru the channels the other day I found the movie on TV. I remembered Utopia being way down South and boo yah it's only an hour from us! We loaded up one Saturday and went to check out the town. It was very very small and cozy. I want to go back and stay at the hotel on the river! We came upon the cute little cafe in the movie and had lunch. The enchiladas were soooo yummy! We then headed a little more west and went to Garner State park. The water was gorgeous! The frio river runs thru it and does frio mean cold?? It was cold as ice cubes. It was SO hot so after you got used to it, it felt great! We floated about 4 hours. Momma was getting burnt so we headed home

We slept like babies that night we were so worn out.

The next morning we woke early for Sunday school then came home and make banana muffins and layed in our pajamas all day.... Jones might of layed around in his undies.

We stayed in bed ALL day,ha. We got up to potty and I got up to bring us meals in bed! We were drained, I'm guessing from the sun the day before?

We had so much fun we took Cody back last Sunday! We have about 50 hunters at the ranch this weekend so we played last Sunday!

I think Cody enjoyed the cafe and the water as much as we did!
