Farrens school pics....

So, we have started another year of school, and my big baby is in middle school this year! Yes, you read that right.=( So far, she is absolutely loving it! The best school she's been to yet, she told me. I can't believe how much she's grown....so, I thought I would post a couple pics of this week for everyone to see how beautiful she's growing up to be!

*****************************************************

By far my fav! This took a little coaxing (and blackmailing) from mom!=)

******************************************************

This is more relaxed and her style! My little hippie chick!

I love you Farren! And I hope you have the best 6th grade year ever!

8 months ago....

I had my little angel! And that little angel is growing up on me. Keagan Jade had toother numero#2 break through yesterday. Ole numero#2 is right next to numero#1! Not only is she no longer toothless, she is becoming mobile! She is up on all fours rocking about and scooting where she wants to go! I love my little stinker so much, she has been such an amazing baby! I can't wait for the little toot to get up in the mornings just to see her smiling face!

I love you babygirl!

Happy 8 months old!

What a great weekend, and Freda....

A little update on us.....We had an awesome time at the farm, and an awesome time while chris was on vacation. What a great week, there is no better feeling than seeing your family enjoy life, thats what its all about. It melts my heart. We did get a HOG!! Wooohooo!! We were right on about them coming around at night time. We got a spotlight so we would be able to see them. Its in the country and pretty much pitch black without a light. The blacknight and wild hogs cannot be good. So Chris heading up there to park the tractor about 8:45 while I put Keagan to sleep. He is really impatient and decided he would just walk back and get me after he had the tractor parked where he wanted it. So, around 9:15 he comes back and after getting the little stinker asleep we decide to head up there around 9:30. We get outside and I say "Wheres the light?" Chris, "What light, we don't need one." Me, "Yes we do, I'm not walking up there in the dark, I'm scared." Chris, in a loving voice (yeah right) "Baby, quit being a baby, come on." Me, "No baby, I'm not walking up there without a light." Chris, "Fine you big wuss, I'll get the flashlight." So, after getting the light we make our way up to the field. About half way up there we are talking and I am running the flashlight in every direction worried that a wild hog or deer or coyote or something is going to attack me. And as Chris is making fun of me, we hear a HUUUUGGGGEEEEE hog snort that sounded right next to us!! Oh my god, freak out time! Chris, "Baby shine the light in that direction, shine the damn light!" I shine the light in every direction and do not immediately see anything, so we proceed to haul ass to the tractor. Luckily, Chris had a gun with him "just in case." Ha, good thing I brought a flashlight. I and he would have totally freaked. After we got on the tractor he admitted, "I'm glad you brought the light, the hair on my arms was standing up." So much for me being a baby. I was terrified though. So, anywho....after sitting on the tractor for about 20 minutes we decide to shine the spotlight. And we see one pig, woohooo....oh wait there is like 5 or 6 over there...WOW, this is awesome I'm thinking. Then chris says, "Babe, shine the light down a little bit." And low and behold right behind the watermelon patch there was a pack, a herd, whatever you call them of hogs!! At least 30 to 40 of them. HOLY CRAP!!! We couldn't see them earlier because they were hidden in the tall grass of the watermelon patch. I steady the light and chris takes aim. He asked if i wanted to shoot because I was a better shot.=) But i figured I'd let him have this glorious moment. "No babe, go ahead." Bam, he shoots, and like roaches, the hogs start to scatter. We wait a few minutes to allow the hog to die and then drive the tractor up to where he shot. I shine the light, and no pig. We grab the flashlight and start looking.....no pig. What?? Chris says, "I guess I missed," then i notice some blood on the ground. "Nope I don't think so," and point to the blood. He tracked the blood and out of nowhere the pigs jumps up off the ground out of the patch. Chris ran back to the tractor to get the gun to shoot him again, and lost his shoe in the mud where they were rooting. Ha! The pig stumbled about 15 feet and fell back down. Chris got Freda in the tractor and we head back. We estimated Freda to be about 100 pounds, not bad. Although there were bigger ones. Mission accomplished. This was probably our highlight. We went back out the next two nights so I could get one, but we didn't see a single hog. Guess we scared them away for a while. Oh well, it was so nice to get away. We had a great week at the farm. Farren had a fun weekend before school and Keagan just loves everything about the farm. Here a few pics from our weekend.....

Sorry for the double post but,......

I forgot the best news of all!

We are building a NEW house!! I can't wait! It should be done around January, so they say. Chris says it won't take that long. Its in the Lake Pointe division across from Boswell. Wooooohooooooooooo!!!!!

Oink oink...

Its been a busy week in Stuart land. Chris is on vacation this week, so we are trying to have as much fun as possible! And let me tell you, this is a much needed vaca from the 10 and 11 hour days hes been working. Plus, this will give much needed rest and rehabilitation from his recent hospital visit. So, on with the important stuff.....we went to the farm over the weekend for a few days. My in laws have some wild hogs roaming the land and eating all there yummy watermelons...boo. So, Mr. and Mrs. Outdoors ourselves decided we would kill us a hog yall. Does that make us a redneck? Anywho, with all the flippin rain we were there for two days and decided to head back. We decided that wrestling a 150 pound hog in the mud might not be in our best interest. =) So, we came back on Monday. Went to gamestop and bought a couple of games to keep us busy until they rain stops and we can get back to hog hunting. Tuesday, we went and saw two flicks. "Tropic Thunder" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3d". Both were pretty good movies. By Wednesday, we beat our games and headed back to gamestop for two more. FUN!! We have really gotten into video games as a family! Its really funny, taking turns! Anyway, we are heading back to the farm today, so wish us some happy hog hunting! Oink Oink.....

Update: Keagan is up on all fours rocking back and forth! My little scooter should be crawling any day now! Wow, she is growing up sooooooo fast!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Ok guys, here we go. Here are some of the pictures from our deep sea fishing trip. If you ever get a chance to do something like this, I strongly suggest you do!! It was loads of fun! It is a little pricey, but worth the money. Just make sure you take some sea motion medicine to avoid getting sick, there is ALOT of shaking and moving. I think next year we are going to do either a shark or tuna and yellow fish trip!! I can't wait.

*********************************

Sidenote: Keagan Jade said her first word!!! Oh how sweet it is. One word, two syllables. Can you guess what she said first??...................................

................................................................................

...................................................................................

MaMa!!

How exciting to hear you baby say mama for the first time! It is just as exciting as when Farren said it. We were waiting on daddy to get home and she started doing her babbling, but this time, words came out!!

Ma Ma Ma, Ba Ba Ba, Ma Ma Ma, Ba Ba Ba......

I'm not sure if the Ba is supposed to be bye bye or da da, but she seems to be crossing the two. I think it is referring to her daddy, because she only starts saying it when he gets home.

Anywho, we are so excited! Our little girl is growing up so fast! She is going to catch up with Farren before you know it! Tear.....=( I guess we will just have to have more!!

Have a great week!

Sorry guys...

Been a little out of the loop the last few days. We had to take Chris to the emergency room the other day, and have been focused on getting him better since. Please keep him in your thoughts and wish him a speedy recovery. I have some pictures to post from our recent trip, but they are on my other computer at work, so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get them posted. Thanks.

Hope everyone is having a great week.
