The old addition :)

Here is Daisy. We got her Oct 07. These two play and play. It is fun to watch.

A new addition

I forgot to include pictures of the little one we have now. My sister got this for me for Christmas and he is sooo cute and sweet too. He is a pomerainian named Remington. :) A big name for a little dog. Shane named him. :) And for you folks that don't know your guns, a Remington is a gun maker. :) I was going to name him Calvin. LOL! :) Anyway here he is. He was born Oct 8th last year.

Even more pictures

These are the hunting pictures. The box stand is where Shane and I hunted. It was very pretty out there.

Christmas in AR

We decided to go to AR instead of FL this year for Christmas. It was a wise decision and soooo glad we did it! :) We had a very wonderful time. The time with Family was fantastic and I'd say the best visit ever.

We stayed with Shane's parents, but spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my mother and stepfather. I had never spent Christmas day with her since I have been married. It was great. :) Two of my sisters were there, and three of my nieces with their babies. My three nieces all had babies last year. So I am a great aunt so many times now, I can't keep up. Hee hee! :) I think I am getting old.

Shane and I went hunting the day after Christmas and he shot two deer. We went out at 6 a.m., back home with two deer by 8 and back in the woods at 10. That boy is crazy! LOL! We sat there ALLLL day in hopes to see the "big one" which we did NOT. Hee hee! THEN on Dec 31 he went to my mother's house with my brother and he got to actually shoot the "big one"!! It was amazing! :) We brought a lot of deer meat home with us. I made a lot of yummy sausage with it. I love it a lot!

We had wonderful travel weather thank the Lord! That is always a concern of mine when driving there in the winter. We have had some ice storms before and it isn't so great to drive in, but this time all was perfect! God was and is SOO good to us!!

We enjoyed our time at the church there. They are coming along on their new building. We hope to go back for the first service in the new building. We'll see if the Navy lets us. :)

I'll put a few pictures up here of our great time! I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed holiday season!

Oops...

So here I am trying to post a post and the pics are so small you can't see them. If you'd like to see them here is the link. LOL! Me oh my! I am cooking supper and thought I could do this quickly. Shoulda known better!

Christmas tree

Well, I have been saying I didn't even want to bother with a tree that I would just plug the thing in. LOL! But someone gave me the bright idea of having them decorate it instead. What a noble idea. DUH! I have always decorated it a certain way and they have only done a few things. This time, they went to town. I put it together and they decorated.

Earlier today, the kids were talking amongst themselves about the types of trees. Real vs. fake. Lauren said she wanted a real one. Sam asked what was the purpose of a fake one, and Lauren said for people who don't want to do a lot of work. Sam just off the cuff said, "like Mom". LOL!! I was cracking up. I didn't say anything and he didn't elaborate. But it was pretty funny to me.

We had a good Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. We are always busy when they come up. We are hoping to go there for Christmas. In my scrooge moments, I'd sure love to stay home. Or go to the mountains of SC. Did you know SC has mountains? I didn't, but boy they are so beautiful! There are some very nice cabins there too. I guess we'll see.

All is well around here. Not much going on. We just keep plugging along. Shane will be having some dental work again. Actually he has had a lot lately. A few years ago he had a root canal, but it has created an odd pocket on his gums so he has to have another, and he will be having major surgery on some bones in his mouth. Who knew things could be so odd. And he got a hearing aide. But I think he had them to program it where it tunes out my voice. :):)

Well, that is an update for now. :) We miss everyone in WA. I hope all is going well for everyone! God bless you all!!
