Life on the Farm

Isabella Gets a Haircut

Isabella has some hair in the back that is just a little unruly! She needed a trim, so she got one while Kylie was getting a trim also! Who else but Kari to cut their hair. Now believe me, it was just a tiny bit! We love ya, Kari!

OK???

Kylie brought this to me and told me to “water it and it will grow”…looks like I have already been trying to care for it!!! LOL!

Kylie’s 5th Birthday Party

We have not had a big birthday party for Kylie until this year. We have had just family parties, so this year her Mom and Daddy Bart had her a big ole b-day. It was a surprise!

As you can tell by the pictures, she was really surprised. What I love the most is when she turned to her Mom, gave her a big hug and thanked her!

Bounce house and slides were all the entertainment they needed!

The cake turned out way bigger than the lady intended, but Kylie did not mind!!!

Lots of special people came to help celebrate the occasion!

What a wonderful birthday for this precious one! She waited 5 years for a big party and her Mom and Daddy Bart did a great job. Thanks to all who came and made her day special!

Happy 5th Birthday to our Kylie!!!

Oh, where have the past 5 years gone??? Kylie spent the night with us last night and it was so much fun taking her to school on her birthday. When I woke her this morning, I told her Happy Birthday and she just smiled with her eyes closed!!! She was so excited! They had a field trip to Harvey’s and Chick-fil-a!!! She had cupcakes at school today for her birthday…along with a fire drill…lol…only would this happen to us!!! We will celebrate next week…she is a little busy this weekend!

Armadillo Hunting on a Friday Night

For the past few nights, something has been digging holes all in my yard….and I ain’t happy bout it!!! Well, yesterday I went back out and looked, and oh my, I will hunt him tonight….if I have to do it by myself…that is ok too!!! LOL! Before we went to eat WB got our weapons ready, just in case he was in the yard when we drove back up. Normally they come out later at night I guess!

Went to eat, drove up, shined the lights…nothing. We decided to ride around the farm to see if we could spot one. I told him he was coming from the woods across from the house and then going all along the flower bed, around to the back yard…that, is a whole lot of digging!!! Of course, I do not know anything…hee hee! But, as we came around that head of woods, I did not see him to begin with….he was to the left of the truck lights. I said…all I see are some pretty white flowers shining on those tree’s. Then, WB said…wait, I think I see him….and there he was, just a digging. We jumped out of the truck with weapons and flashlights and WB took care of that pest!!! I was so excited and it was only 10:30 pm! Now, if only I had not drank that diet coke all would be fine. I drank it so I could stay awake and get that hole digger, figured it would be 3:00, but oh no, he likes to dig all night!!! Now, I will be awake half of the night, but can rest knowing that at least, he will not be digging up my yard! I need a dog!

I did Photoshop him, so he would look presentable!!!

Going to try and begin catching up on my blog….way behind and lots to blog!

A Third Grand

On December 20th at 8:53 PM, we were blessed with our first grandson. “Cayden Ryan Hughes” weighing in at 6 lbs & 5 oz. His height was 20 inches and his head was 13 inches. He had lots of hair and looks just like his Dad….yep, Mom’s carry them the whole time and they look like their daddy’s…LOL!

Cayla was in labor for 13 hours with this little one, his heart rate dropped several times and had us worried. He liked his home and did not want to leave, and did not until about 8 cm. Just a little stubborn!!! We were all preparing for a c-section, I had three and knew she could handle it, but not the way to go if not necessary!!! All of a sudden, he decided it was time and within a short period of time, he made is arrival! I think we had to wake Daddy up from a little nap for the big event. He laid his head on the side of the bed as Cayla squeezed his hand and I am glad he got a little nap. It was funny…hey, wake up it is time to push!!! I am very proud of her and Ryan! And I am so proud we have a healthy grandson!!! God has blessed us once again!

I love this picture with Dr. Mosley and Cayden!

Kylie and the Christmas Lights

Kylie, Winston and I are in the truck riding through the big city of Morven GA. Kylie begins to tell Papa to wook at those wights (the few lights that we have on the power poles. ) Wook at that one Papa, do you see it? And look ober dhere at daht one! The she said, “ I just can’t take….I just want to go to Momma J’s house, get up on top of it and just hang wights every where!!! LOL, it was so stinking cute!!! So I decided that I would at least have to decorate the front door withe some lights and I did…just for her!!!

Cayden’s Nursery In Progress!

I have been helping Ryan and Cayla get Cayden’s room ready. Painting, moving furniture etc!

We painted and caulked and painted and caulked and it was so very hot!!! We were so happy when the air got hooked up!!!

No matter how much we caulked and painted the lines in the wall just did not look good! But Grandpa Randy had a good solution and boy were we glad and it made the walls look nice! Woo-hoo for Randy!

Looking Good!

They got the bedding picked out, got it ordered and it is so cute!!! She wanted his name on the wall, but so many of the letters are girlie looking and they did not want that! So I found these chip board letters, she liked them and we cut scrape book paper out to match the bedding--- turned out cute and not girlie! Putting them on the wall was another task….lol…we had to call Grandma Susie over to help us hold them and get them straight! Thank-you Susie!!!

Mom and I found the raccoon and she had his name monogrammed on it, a little something from Great-Nana!

Finishing Touches!
