Always Be Prepared

2010-07-04T14:02:00.000-07:00

This is what I one of my friends packed for a canoe trip. You never know when you might get "Close Up"

Lake PanaWHO?

2010-06-03T10:51:00.000-07:00

That would be Lake Panasoffkee.

I still get confused on what exactly it is called, but Natalie tells me it's Panasoffkee.

It's where we went on last week's fishing baventure.

These two fine fishermen had no less than 4 poles hanging out of their boat at all times.

They were also listening to Bob Marley, and Mark knew every word to every song...

James and Mark Marley probably caught the most fish.

We made a friend, Phil, who had an airboat. Then we asked him to take us for a ride.

He did.

Thanks Phil!

This is how we fished for 2 1/2 days. 3 deep in the boat.

Why?

Because Matt, the old grump, went home... To work... More on that later.

Let's talk about the fine accommodations Natalie hooked us up with.

The Panavista Lodge.

We had 2 single wide trailers, with all the ants, and over flowing toilets you could ever want.

But is was a baventure... Baventures are never luxurious.

That's Halle Berry posted up behind me. His wife goes by Halle Stacie...

Grump Alert!

Let's talk about this sweet thang...

Don't let that smile fool ya, he is a grump.

He is a fun grump, but he is still a grump.

I think he attended the fishing baventure for exactly 28 hours. Maybe a little less.

Why would anyone want to bail on a baventure?

This is where the poor thing had to sleep...

I shouldn't have taken that picture or laughed at him.He slept on the nasty couch, so I wouldn't have to. He didn't take the pillow or blanket, so I could have them.

He's quite the gentleman.

I returned the favor by posting the picture on Facebook.

I'm sweet like that.

Then when the grump woke up he announced he was going home.

He had to go home and work.

Like this...

Under these...

I'm not going to be mad at him for being a grump or for going home.

Natalie and I need that suburban.

Thanks for working hard to provide us with a sweet ride!

Kindergarten Graduation

2010-05-30T14:45:00.000-07:00

My sweet baby has graduated from Kindergarten.

I'm so proud of her. Homegirl can read and everthang.

She was looking just a little sad walking into her graduation.

I couldn't handle it. It just made me sad.

So, I did something to fix it. Look at that smile. She loves her Ebbit.

Sure it was inappropriate and I maybe caused a small scene, but look at her.

She's ready to rock and roll now.

You go girl!

And Carson, you go too!

You little E-Ha KaBoy!

She hit floor

Next thing you know

Shawty got low low low low low low

Facebook

2010-05-25T22:40:00.000-07:00

I saw something totally awesome on Facebook. It was a status and it was the most awesome status ever. Here's what it said: "Heather and Natalie are the finest women I know! While most women are getting ready to watch Sex & The City these two bad asses are gearing up for a weekend of hard core bream fishing! Nothing but tuff!" - Mr. Marcus Gowan

Thanks Marcus! You're pretty tuff yourself. ;)

My Husband

2010-05-23T21:38:00.000-07:00

Meet my pretend lovely husband.

He likes my earrings.

He is entertaining on road trips.

He loves my dog.

AND most importantly he LOVES Natalie.

We are a package deal. Kinda like buy one get one free.

He even took this picture.

He accepts the fact that sometimes, on a baventure, you just need to wear your slip on the outside of your dress.

Thanks for loving us even though we lick your food before we give it to you.

I plan on spending every dime of your money and she will be right beside me every step of the way. :)

He's Baaaaaack

2010-05-20T09:30:00.000-07:00

Daddy came home.

I'm glad he did because I missed him.

If he leaves again for a month it is going to hurt my heart.

We took him on a fishing baventure. I thought he was a fisherman. Wrong.

$70.00 and 5 fish later I learned who is the best.

Lou. She's a bad chick.

Badder badder than yours.

Thanks for coming back Shack Shubanks.

Help!

2010-05-16T22:03:00.000-07:00

I need donations. Lots and lots of donations.

Actually, I don't need them, that fella in the cowboy hat needs them.

This is the amount he needs...

He needs to buy this Suburban for me...

If you don't help I'm going to end up with this...

I know my best friend is a kagrl and everything, but we can't roll in that Geo. I refuse to be a kagrl until I get a pair of Lucchase boots. The pair I want are $1,400.00. And even if I get those boots I don't want a western themed Geo.

MISSING

SINCE APRIL 11TH 2010

NAME: SHACK SHUBANKS

HIS TOES LOOK LIKE PISTOL SIGHTS

HE MAY BE MUDDY AND WEARING SPURS AT TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE TIMES

Okay... So he's not really "missing" I just haven't seen him since April. I'm starting to miss him and it's got me all fouled up!

Shack,

If, by some crazy chance, you read this there are a few things I want/NEED you to know: Lou Lou and I miss you something fierce, Cain Cox misses his Daddy, Audrey needs tampons, Preston needs a grownup friend, and Rob hasn't heard the word "BOOM" in over a month. Everybody and their Mama keeps asking where you are and I'm sick of not really having a good answer. Get off your sabbatical and come back home. We got giant corn fed opossums to kill.

Much Love,

Baby Mama

PEACE, LOVE, AND LONGBOWS

Fortune Cookies

2010-05-13T19:52:00.000-07:00

It was Chinese night in Orange tonight. *sigh*

Sesame Chicken+Heather=Tru Luv 4Eva!

Yeah, and I love fortune cookies too.

That was Natalie's fortune. Lucky. We do love a four-wheeled adventure and we are thinking about taking one this weekend.

My fortune was "Use your charm and personality to obtain your wishes." Umm... Duh... That's what I always do.

Jim Barbee wanted to add "in bed" to the end of the fortunes. It worked best on mine. "Use your charm and personality to obtain your wishes in bed." Bwahahaha!

Then Jim started arguing with me about the oil spill. I had to take my fortune and go home.

Success

2010-05-11T17:25:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not the best pet parent. I have good intentions, but sometimes it's just hard. I'm usually the one who buys a dog and then in a couple months has to give it away because I really just don't have time. I have never successfully housebroken a dog... Until now! That's a big woot woot for me! I've also trained my dog to sit, stay, lay down, roll over, and smile.

Booker was a Christmas gift. He is probably one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever received-hands down the best ever from a boyfriend. I'll give Willl most of the credit for picking out the perfect dog. He's smart, calm, and doesn't bark a lot. I just love him.

I'll quit rambling about my dog now because I don't want to be the crazy dog lady. I am 27 and single, so I know people worry anyway.

Happy Monday

2010-05-10T20:46:00.000-07:00

I think the world would be a better place if more people danced on Mondays. Dancing is not just for the weekend.

"There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good." - Edwin Denby

Happy Mothers Day!!

2010-05-09T10:57:00.000-07:00

My brother is awesome! I hope I get a cool video for my birthday.

More Camera Phone

2010-05-08T08:46:00.000-07:00

More baventures. Oh, I got a new phone yesterday. Woot Woot! This will be the last post from the old phone.

Copper and Natalie spent a couple nights with me this week. I don't do dogs in the bed, but Natalie does. I just don't understand why Copper only wants to cuddle with me.

Natalie hearts OJ.

We both heart Cotton Candy Explosion from Bruster's.

We got lots and lots of rain. I guess we needed it? I don't know that's just what the old people say. Matt sent me this picture from his farm... somebody has got some work to do.
All the rain has messed up our fishing. Natalie and I went last week and only caught 6 babies.
Natalie and I scored some tickets to the Carrie Underwood concert. Tonya came with us too.

Audrey went to Marianna's prom and we found Matt's twin.
Who eats this? I guess Mom and Ricky are on a health kick. I don't recommend no salt ketchup.

We spent $20 on fake facial hair at Pizza Hut. It was a good time.
Natalie, Matt, and Me. Friends Forever.
I busted Carson out of daycare for the day. We had ice cream and played cowboy.
E HA Cowboy!

Protect This House

2010-05-06T22:01:00.000-07:00

I took a Myers-Briggs personality test because I was bored. Does it surprise anyone that I fall into a category with only 7% of the population? Mama's a freak.

ISFJ- The Defendant. That's me.

My Temperament SJ. The Protector.

Is it wrong that I like that? "The Protector" Bwhahaha

Wanna know some famous people with the same personality type as me? Mother Theresa and Robert E. Lee.

I feel like Michael Oher. I don't know if that's his personality type. Just sayin'... I may stop an airbag with my arm.

Homemaker was one of my career matches. Hmmm.... I knew it!

Guess what we will be doing on the next family dinner night? I need to know. I have to know. I may make Natalie take this test in the morning.

See that look. Don't mess with me. Don't mess with my family. I mean it.

I am the PROTECTOR!

Happy Birthday Natalou

2010-04-28T21:18:00.000-07:00

I mean Happy Belated Birthday Blog! I do realize it's almost been a month since your birthday day, but every time I start to type I cry. You can stop reading now if you want...
After Audrey was born my Mom was worried that I wouldn't have a sister. You had Audrey. I didn't have anyone that I could share that special bond with. Your Mom told my Mom not to worry that I would always have you. My Mom was worried that our 6 year age difference would be a problem. Your Mom told her just to wait and see. I have always wondered how she saw that when we were so young.

I remember the day your Mom left to go to Mexico. I can't remember every detail from that day or all the words that were said. I do remember the last words she said to me that day. She told me that she loved me and then she told me to take care of you. She said that you would always need me. She explained to me that there would be times I wouldn't understand you but to stick by you and love you anyway. I promised her I would. Then I was wrapped in the sweetest embrace I have ever felt. Sometimes, when I feel like I can't handle another thing, I feel that embrace again and I keep on keepin' on.

I have done my very best to keep that promise. I know the road has been rocky, but that was a tough load for a spoiled rotten 19 year old to pull. I have always tried my best. I am so proud of the confidence she had in me, in you, and in our relationship. I know she said you would always need me, but I think she knew we would always need each other. And we do.

You are one of the greatest blessings in my life. Loving you has taught me what love should be. I am thankful everyday that your Mom was my Mom's sister, that our Memi was their mother, and that your Daddy loved me like his own child. All of these things made our relationship what it is today.

I love you BFCF!

Audrey, thanks for sharing Natalie with me. I know you wonder how she hated me so much when she was in high school and loves me now. It's just something that happens when you grow up. I was only doing my best to keep her straight and that's what we both try to do with you. You'll understand one day. I love you too!

Warning:

2010-04-28T21:15:00.000-07:00

If you play horseshoes with these people...

This could happen to you...

Prom 2

2010-04-25T21:59:00.000-07:00

Audrey is a prom whore. I love it! She's got one more to attend. I hope Marianna is ready for her.

Pictures From My Phone

2010-04-25T10:24:00.000-07:00

I love looking through the pictures on my phone. My life is a baventure.

'94 Geo Tracker anyone?

And no, Matt, this will not pass as a suburban. Just sayin'...

Here is Audrey's dream man bending over. Woo! I didn't have the balls to take this picture, but his best friend did. You're welcome, Audrey Boo.

I love me some Rockstar, but only sugar free. Right now my mission in life is to get Southern Express #1 to stock them.
I don't smoke, but I do think this picture is funny. Thank you Justin Terry for secretly snapping it.
We heart Pump It Up!
Don't waste your money on Red Apple Jone's Soda. Fufu Berry is what's up. Just sayin'...
Yeah, he's not in his car seat. He needed to get out and take a picture with me. And he's bad.
Nookie holding my pretty little dog, Matt Whiiiittteeee.
Sweet little Booker on Easter.
My cousin, Erica, giving me a lift through the mud.
You're never safe. Someone is always watching. Remember that.

Jim at the top of a very tall tree in Natalie's yard.

Prom 1

2010-03-07T10:46:00.000-08:00

Prom number 1. That would be 1 out of 3 for Audrey. You go girl! You be lookin' FIIIINNNEEE!

We always have to take a Superstar picture. It's a tradition.
Some of the best women I know. Tough as nails.

Who had the best hair at prom? I'm guessing Audrey and Kasey. You gotta have it tight enough to jerk. Yeah, we actually had to do a little jerkin' before they left the shop. Have you ever jerked on a floor covered in hairspray? It's not easy.

All hair by Heather. Jake gets his hair did by me too.

The Jerk

2010-03-06T10:12:00.000-08:00

I will learn to jerk. I will learn to jerk. I will learn jerk.

I keep telling myself this over and over. I spend all my spare time jerkin'.

I've got the steps down and now I need some rhythm.

Audrey and Sierra are my jerkin' coaches. Erica and Natalie are my jerkin' partners.

Natalie is calling my jerk the "midget". Baby steps, Natalie. Don't be a hater.

I'm not gonna let Natalie get me down. I'm jus' gone do it how I do it.

WORD 2 Ya Mutha

2010-03-03T21:18:00.000-08:00

WORD on the street is I drink like a fish... WRONG

If my dear friend Bengina told you this lie, I'm sorry. He has been shunned.

I'm not judging anyone who wants to drink like a fish, that's not the kind of gal I am. I just don't want anyone crying to me when they need a new liver.

I cuss like a sailor.

I stay out late and I sleep until noon.

I skip church for no reason at all.

I talk loud.

I hurt peoples feelings... sometimes on purpose.

I'm bossy.

I'm mean.

I like music that they can't play on the radio.

I laugh at the wrong things.

You can see there is no need to makeup something bad to say about me. I know I'm not perfect and I can handle the truth. No need to lie.

I'm always the DD. I take keys and I make room in beds. I don't care if anyone gives me HELL for having a diet coke in my koozie. I don't care if you want to make fun of me... just watch your back because I have plenty of drunk friends ready to fight. If I decide you need to be shunned everyone else will shun you too. I can promise you it will happen. Everyone right down to my Popie has my back. That's something that happens when you are bossy. ; )

Brown Place

2010-02-16T20:32:00.000-08:00

This post is super late, but I just snatched Shelly's camera and stole the pictures.

Every year our family has a camp out the opening weekend of squirrel season. Pot invites everyone he runs into and he tells them to bring their family. That's just Pot though. I love Pot. If you are reading this and have never been to "The Brown Place Squirrel Shoot" please come next year, tell ya Mama and 'em to come too. I'll just invite you for Pot, he'll love it.

Rilee had to sleep in a camper this year. I would take a camper over that scary house behind us in the picture. It's haunted! Just kidding. It would be fun if it was... BACK to the camper. Rilee told me a camper was just like a real little house with wheels. It was so sweet of her to explain that to me...Then she started crying because she didn't want to stay in a little house that could blow over in a strong wind and I don't blame her. I went home because I don't do tents, floor, houses covered in mold, or campers. I like my bed and I don't shoot squirrel.

My brother, Nic, is such a strong man. We actually have another picture like this from several years ago and he was holding a few more people. I'm sure it was still the same amount of weight because I may have picked up a pound or two...
Carson decided he wanted to eat some oysters. Is it safe to let a 2 year old eat oysters? I don't think so... And what am I doing back there? Hey girl, haaaayyyy.
Maybe Carson wants to eat oysters because that's his Mama shucking them like she grew up on a oyster boat. I don't think they have oyster boats in Mossy Pond. I don't care how she learned. Shuck on Sista, shuck on. You shuck and I'll eat.

*** I'm just going to add that I can suck oysters too. It's just one of those things you learn with a man name Tangle Foot attending all your family events.
Jace shucking with a oven mitt.
The best woman I know, my Memi. I love her! I don't want to say too much, she deserves her own post.

Joe. There are so many things I could say about Joe.
That is a short little cup for such a tall man.
Shad looks like a natural. I'm so excited he's having a baby! A Redmon baby will just give me an excuse to spend more time with Jimmy. I love Jimmy and his dry humor. And I'm glad Shad and Rynn are having me another nephew too. I didn't mean to make this all about Jimmy. I'm gonna buy this baby some cute little spectacles.

Natalou

2010-02-13T19:06:00.000-08:00

Natalie is my road dog, but I think I've told you that before. I know I've told you that before, because someone asked me what I was talking about.

A road dog is your partner in crime, your travel companion, someone you trust on the road.

Natalie and I can travel with the best of 'em, there is nowhere on earth we are afraid to go. I think we got that trait from our Memi. If you're scared pack some heat, that's how we roll. However, we do prefer luxury vacations. You don't need heat at a 5 star resort. We get that from Memi too, we get lots of stuff from her.

Things we got from our Memi:

A love of bling

The ability to spot a knock-off

Unselfish love for our family

The ability to drive in unfamiliar cities without any fear

The ability to find a mall while driving in unfamiliar cities

Never giving up on the people we love

Broad shoulders and thick skin

A love of shoes

That list could go on forever.

For every way we are the same, there is a way we are different.

I like heels and she likes cowboy boots.

She can smoke a deer with a bow and I can't pull one back.

I can bake, she can grill.

She can load a trailer and I just call a boy to do it for me.

I'm messy, she's neat.

I like the Real Housewives, she likes The Crush.

I can paint, she can sew.

This could go on forever too.

She would say, that I'm prissy and she's not, but I'm not the one that has to get my nails done every week.

We have our similarities and our differences. We have times we see each other everyday and times we don't. There are times when she needs me and times when I need her.

It's nice to have a friend that would take a bullet for you, but it's better to have a friend that would throw one.

My Road Dog and I are headed to the Bahamas on Thursday. I hope they're ready for us!

The Big Question

2010-02-10T20:17:00.000-08:00

Natalie is my road dog. We don't go many places without each other. If you don't believe me, just ask Duane Barber.

In the past 8 months her friends have become my friends. My friends have become her friends and we've both made some new friends.

This is the story of how I met one of my very best friends.

Hanging out with Natalie I met Charger. He's my homie and I love him.

Hanging out with Charger I became friends with Cody, or Cody became friends with me. I guess hanging out with Charger made me cool enough for him to talk to me. I love Cody too.

One night, at a concert, Cody's brother was sitting behind me. Cody made me go talk to him. I'm not gonna lie he wasn't very nice. True story. I'm sure anyone who knows Will would have a hard time believing that story.

Guess who I'm friends with now?

Will is now my forever friend! I really can't imagine my life without him. Will is the sweetest person I have ever met. I love him.

Today is Will's 21st Birthday! Woo! Happy Birthday Will!!

Thanks for dressing up in costumes and not complaining. Lots and lots of silly costumes.

Thanks for always helping everyone and never complaining. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you.

Thanks for putting up with me when I was a grouch. Because, we all know, most of the time I'm an old grump.

Thanks for LOVING my crazy family and me. You mean so much to all of us.

Thanks for being the father of my child. Yes, a dog can be a child. Booker loves you too.

Rilee loves Will too.

Quotes from Rilee:

"We love Will. He is so nice and he does everything I want."

"Aiden, you don't know Will yet, but you're gonna love him."

"Wheeeeeelllll"

Breakfast of Champions

2010-01-31T22:17:00.000-08:00

What do you like to eat for breakfast? Pancakes? Eggs? Bacon? Normal breakfast food?

Audrey doesn't do "normal" breakfast foods. Homegirl would rather sit in the car for 45 minutes waiting on a Taco Bell to open than eat a biscuit from McDonalds.

I can't say that I blame her. We all know I'm the queen of a sandwich for breakfast. Not a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, a freakin' deli sliced turkey sandwich. Yummy!

A couple weeks ago Audrey had a breakfast that even I couldn't stomach...

Slim Fast, Ramen Noodles, and Ritz Crackers... What she calls "the breakfast of champions."

And BTW that's Ramen, pronounced RAY MEN, puh-lease don't say it wrong.

I don't know why this breakfast surprised me, Audrey has always loved a good slim fast. When she was little, she liked to drink it with her pizza. Everybody knows Slim Fast tastes just like chocolate milk.

I'm not even going to get started on what the kid eats at Sonic.

I love you Audjah! Sorry I crashed your car into the bushes at Arby's today.

HOW erd

2010-01-24T10:26:00.001-08:00

Name: Howard

Meaning: Sheep herder; pig guard; high warden

I call this "The Noble Watchman"

Pretend he's a statue in this picture. He said there needed to be a statue of him in the lobby of the ski lodge.

"Pepa Jeans"

I'm not sure when in the 90's he purchased those jeans... He's not sure how I get my 400 pound ass into jeans 2 sizes to small... I am sure that Natalie loves him and he loves her. Pure sweetness.

"The Sleeper"

He may look like he's sleeping, he may sound like he's sleeping, but he's not sleeping.

"Unknown"

I'm gonna let Natalie name this shot. Natalie, Howard and maybe Buddy Kent? Whatcha think?

"Fence Post"

The fence post jeans. Much better HoJo, much better. Oh, and by the way, I LOVE your belt.

"Resting"

Howard taking a break, he never fell, just ask him. I don't know anyone who screams "lookout guys" when they take a rest.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS MAYNOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNG VIEWERS

JUST SAYIN'...

"Queen of Hearts"

The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you.

"So Fresh and So Clean"

I don't know what to say about this XXX shot.

"Tobey"

He can spiderman all night long, but that is no Tobey Maguire. Sorry Howard, try to trick someone else.

"Jump Around"

He came to get down. He came to get down. So get out your seats and jump around.

"Air Patrol"

Keeping you safe from underwear bombers since Jan. 2010... Sir, please take your seat.

Lady Antebellum

2010-01-21T22:11:00.000-08:00

Look who I got to meet!

Helllloooo Charles Kelley

Can I have your babies?

I know he's married. Don't judge me.

I've got a thing for tall men. *sigh* Tall men make my heart melt.

I love Lady Antebellum.

I love Charles Kelley.

I think Charles Kelley loves me too.

He can hear my heart. He knows how I feel. He sings a song about it.

"Love This Pain"

She's no good for me

I know that she's a wild flower

She's got a restlessness

A beautifulness, a thing about her

But here I am again calling her back

Letting her drive me crazy

It's like I love this pain a little too much

Love my heart all busted up

Something 'bout her, we just don't work

But I can't walk away

It's like I love this pain

It's just an on again

And off again situation

It's a striking a match

A tank of gas combination

But here I am lighting it up

Knowing that she'll just burn me

It's like I love this pain a little too much

Love my heart all busted up

Something 'bout her, we just don't work

But I can't walk away

It's like I love this pain

It's like I love this life

When's nothing's right, yeah something's wrong

It's like I'm just not me

If I can't be a sad, sad song

It's like I love this pain a little too much

Love my heart all busted up

Something 'bout her, we just don't work

But I can't walk away

It's like I love this pain

Oh yeah, it's like I love this pain

I can't walk away, oh no

It's like I love this pain

I feel like I could've written that song myself.

Thanks Charles! I'll see you soon.

Preston loves all his friends. He loves Boo-Boo, Charger, Berry, Matt, Jim, and pretty much anyone he comes in contact with. That's just the way he rolls.

These days he's missing a friend. I think it makes him sad... and I can't let that happen. I must do my part to help.

So, here it goes...

I need to find a good ole boy, but not just any good ole boy. I need one who owns a fire truck and drives it hunting. He needs to drink Coors light and not eat monkey bread. The kind of guy who would give his friend a $300,000.000 belt buckle that came with a free combine. A real good ole boy.

You know who you are. We know we're crazy. Sorry. Every weekend isn't really that wild. Natalie and I aren't always that grouchy. Please come be our friend again.

Halloween

2009-11-11T17:57:00.001-08:00

Reba had another amazing Halloween photo scavenger hunt. I would say it was the best ever! This year we had to dress like Albert Einstein. I made an Einstein mask but Reba told me it didn't count so I ditched it before we started. It's a good thing Nic showed up with his Don King wig. You got 50 points for having an Einstein in your pictures.

A picture with Oma was worth 50 points. We squeezed this one in moments before we turned our camera in.

A picture with a statue. Thanks to the Carolyn for having this beauty in her yard.

Would you like to know what picture could earn you the most points? Waist deep in the lake 400 points. The lake was cold on Oct. 30th.

I had to change my pants to jump in the lake. Good thing I stole these from Memi.

Brown chicken brown cow.
We were the only ones able to get a picture with a 2 dollar bill. Don't ask me why Memi had this in her bedroom.
10 gallons of milk. Thank you Piggly Wiggly.
I had to run this guy down in the parking lot at the football game. We were the only team with a mustang picture. Poor guy I'm sure he thought I was crazy, but we needed those points.
Umm... Thanks Rusty. We needed some principal points.
And a picture with a grey headed person. Popie acted a little offended but he sure looks happy in the picture.
I've been doing these scavenger hunts for years and never once have I won. That dang Tyler Stoutamire beats me every year. I've tried all kinds of things to beat him, even cheating. One year I ran my partner, Krysti, so hard she ended up in the hospital.

Guess who couldn't make the party this year? Tyler. Guess who won? Me... and Nic and Will.

I broke the Stoutamire winning streak! Woo!

The best looking guy at Liberty County Homecoming Coronation.

And the sweetest!

Love ya Code.

Like a Nascar Pitstop

2009-10-28T20:35:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when you've got someone you can boss around.

Just sayin...

The 1st Place Float from the Liberty County Homecoming Parade.

It's good to know I've still got the touch.

Thanks a million Will!

Harses

2009-10-28T20:15:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I copied that from Pioneer Woman.

I did it for Natalie 'cause these here are her harses.

This little cutie below... hers. Uncle Bennett drove slam damn to Oklahoma to get it for her. Sweet Daddy.

We're thinking his name will be Sunshine. If you have any super cool name suggestions feel free to leave a comment. If we pick your name you'll win a mixer. Just kidding. Maybe.

We're just plowing through the country one calf nut at a time.

** I don't expect anyone to get this.

Just Natalie 'cause she's cool like that.

Hey you aint never never never never never met someone like me

2009-10-12T07:58:00.000-07:00

Yep
I've been on the cover of the Rolling Stone
I met the president when I was half stoned
I been so high I've gotten confused
I been beat down, broke and used

I drank with hank, talked blues with Billy
Rocked with Run sang with shotgun Willy
Went from small time philly to big time Bobby
From 3 day old chili to saki with wosabi

fishin'

2009-10-07T11:39:00.000-07:00

Mom: You and Will wanna go fishing at the Brown Place? Popie said the lake is just right.

Me: Yeah I'll go if someone will bait my hook.

Mom: No. You're gonna do it by yourself.

Me: Will you wanna go fishing with Mom?

Will: Sure.

Me: Can you bait my hook?

Will: Sure.

Me: Sweet.

Shelly took us on a fishing "baventure" in the lake at the Brown Place.

Did we have to drag the boat into the lake? Yes.

Did I get out and help? Yes.

Did anyone bait my hook? No. Well... maybe one time

Did we only catch 9 fish? Yes.

The lake was not just right. Thanks Pot. That water was gross.

I saw spider bigger than the fish I was catching.

Mom and Will need to attend 4-H camp so they can learn to paddle a boat.

Wet jeans, muddy boots, and worm guts.

There were so many things I could have complained about all day, but I didn't. I really had a good time. I'm going to blame it on Will. His optimism is infectious!

Remember

2009-09-28T21:07:00.000-07:00

Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, for they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks at you in awe, because that little person will soon grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because this is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it does not cost a cent.

Remember, to say "I love you" to your partner and loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person may not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Scary Movies, Video Games, and Pizza

2009-09-21T07:25:00.000-07:00

Friday night was kinda fun. Saturday night was kinda terrifying. Sunday was kinda lazy.

I kicked my Saturday night off with the triplets birthday party.

It's hard to believe they are 5.

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

And look at me in a dress, with my hair done, and make up on. That lasted long enough for me to attend the party and go out to eat. The rest of my weekend was spent in pajamas.

After the party, and dinner at Toucans, I came home sat on my couch.

I didn't sit alone.

I sat with some very tall people.

Want some proof?

This is the door to my laundry room and I've been marking my height on here since I was 2.

Well... me and every other member of my family.

The top mark did say: Jim 2-22-87

That would be Jim Shuler and he's 6'2''.

I know that because I just broke out my tape measure.

The 2 new marks on the door tower over Jim.

Cunningham's are much taller then Shuler's.

Welcome to the family Cody and Will.

Now on the the terrifying part.

Last House on the Left.
Terrifying!

I don't want to say too much about it because someone may want to watch it. I will say it lead to a sleepover and me checking under my bed every night.

I didn't go to sleep until 5:00 Sunday morning. Why? Because Cody and I were making up new racing classes.

The mini van class must have dual sliding rear doors and seat 7.

Who wouldn't want to watch that?

Maybe this girl?

I think she's a fan of the Cadillac on 12s class.

Sunday was a lazy day. I woke up around 12:00 and got out of bed around 1:00. Lazy!

Cody and Will came back over to play some video games but that didn't work out to well.

I'm very sorry that I didn't know which button was the brake.

I'm old and I haven't played in years.

I'm sorry that I dropped he pizza on the floor too.

I'm just gonna blame it on Cody.

Team HC

2009-09-21T06:52:00.000-07:00

Friday night a few members of our regular group made a voyage to Panama for some bowling.

Audrey, Preston, Richard, Jordan, and Cody they're all regular. Cherie and Will also decided to grace us with their presence.

Cherie you can be on my bowling team anytime. Just sayin...

I didn't take lots of pictures Friday night.

Are you shocked?

I know... Me too.

So, because I didn't take many pictures let's take a moment to look at Richard's head.

This is Richard's head in June when we went to Destin.

That trip also happens to be when our friendship began.

And now...

Just look at all that hair. Audrey and I love it. We're not fans of blad heads.

Back to bowling.

Team HC dominated! That's H for Heather and C for Chard.

Chard dominated the first game and I dominated the second.

"The best time to make friends is before you need them." - Ethel Barrymore

Well said, Ethel.

I like to make friends, but it's not something I do well.

Most of my friends have been my friends all my life.

90% of them are my family.

I think it was 3, maybe 4, years ago my Mom came home from work and said "We've got a new kid at school and you've got to meet him. I know you'll love him."

It took me years to make Cody my friend.

I know he thought I was crazy.

Now, he knows I'm crazy.

My Mom was right I do love him.

He's my racing friend.

The only person in my life who shares my love of short tracks.

He's my cookie baking friend.

The boy can measure some ingredients.

He's my knee boarding friend.

Well...maybe not.

I'm getting a little carried away.

But really...

I've never heard Cody say an unkind word to anyone.

I've never seen him do anything out of line.

He's the kinda boy that would make a Mama proud.

Cody's got class.

I haven't really needed Cody yet.

I'm sure at some point I will.

I'm sure he'll do whatever he can to help me.

It's nice to make new friends.

I'm so happy that we're friends.

Happy 18th Birthday Code!

Team Head Hunters

2009-09-14T21:05:00.001-07:00

Nice dig!

Nice scorpion hit!

Nice legs!

I kinda want to bite them.

Can I say that on here?

I just did.

Sorry Mom :(

It's a inside joke.

Nice reprimand!

Jordan please stay in your spot.

Okay?

Thanks!

Nice blue shorts.

Not.

Nice fans!

Team Head Hunters had the most fans at the volleyball tournament.

We had a grand total of 4.

Mom, Memi and Cody's parents.

Jeremy, Cody, Jordan, Sierra, Audrey, and Richard

Under Armour should sponsor us.

Even if they won't, we'll sill pimp their gear.

Ballers.

Shot Callers.

P90X

I would like to say thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Just kidding ;)

We were the only team with cool shirts.

Thanks Natalie.

Sorry you were bowed up like a Halloween cat and couldn't come play.

Our fearless driver.

John Anderson gets us crunk for volleyball.

Bored...

2009-09-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when traffic comes to a stand still.

It should never take 4 hours to get from Destin to Bristol.

I should get a job at Miami Ink.

Just sayin...

First Time

2009-09-13T20:44:00.000-07:00

I remember the first time I met Elijah.

I remember the first time I heard Elijah sing.

I remember the first time Elijah pulled this move on the pledged floor.

And I remember the first time I saw Charger beat up by a girl.

Memememememememe!!!!

Happy Birthday AJ

2009-09-10T22:20:00.000-07:00

Today is Audrey's birthday.

I love her.

I don't know that I will love my own children as much as I love her.

I've loved her every second of her 17 years.

I love her more than shoes, bags, traveling, and strawberry icee's.

She's pretty much the coolest gal I know.

Just sayin...

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Audrey

Happy birthday to you

I'm sure I don't sing as good as Elijah, but I'll sing anyway.

Speaking of Elijah...

Where's he been all my life??

Ben's been holding out on me.

Damn Ben.

We know how to rock the stunna shades.

And the hater blockas!

Thanks for letting me be such a big part of your life.

Thanks for loving my cooking, you may be the only person in the world who does.

Thanks for telling me stuff that other people are afraid to tell me.

Thanks for ALWAYS listening, you're really good at that.

Thanks for McDonald's sundaes and Kid Rock songs... even if it's every night for a month.

2009-09-07T20:44:00.000-07:00

I say...

Yeah buddy

Rollin' like a big shot

Chevy tuned up like a nascar pit stop

Fresh paint job

Fresh inside

Is the outside frame and the trunk wide

Are the rims big

Do it ride good

Lean back right hand on the pine wood

That just happened

2009-09-07T20:30:00.000-07:00

Your Daddy wasn't a glass maker...

but your Mama was a ass maker

Charger stole Kenny Rogers swiffer sweeper.

Poor guy fell face first into his french fries.

Do I need to put a nipple on that for you?

Nope I've already got one.

Jordan dressed and ready for the beach.

Yeah...

that just happened.

South Walton

2009-09-07T20:10:00.000-07:00

Jordan and Code watchin' a kiddie movie on the way to South Walton.

Only REAL fans will travel that far to watch Volleyball.

Yeah, I'm that bad.

Just sayin...

Fan Club

2009-09-03T09:47:00.000-07:00

Meet the Audrey Eubanks and Sierra Chason fan club.

We've only been to one game and already had one person kicked out.

I can't understand why the don't allow air horns at indoor volleyball games.

We're headed to South Walton today for game two.

Get Gritty! Grrrr!

Not too bad for a bunch of old men playing against stacked teams with people who don't go to church.

Just kidding ;)

Maybe next year we'll get a hot bat.

Happy Birthday to ME!

2009-08-30T21:26:00.000-07:00

I had my first experience with Jordan's driving.

See the windshield.

See his hands.

I was terrified but it was fun.

I'm also a boss. Just sayin...

Part one of the evening was dinner at Captain Anderson's.

Grilled Bay Shrimp will make you slap yo Mama.

Part two Rock'It Lanes

Cody wanted to ride the mechanical horse... with Richard

I heard him tell Richard "hurry up this thing is about to gallop."

We did a little skating while we were there.

Mark was workin' the camera.

That's P in the green shirt.

I would love to know who that is on the floor.

I didn't even try to skate. Rollerblades are what I know.

Cody knows skates.

He used to be a speed skater.

This is team CC.

They took team AH down.

I think they cheated.

Jordan, Cody, Me, and cousin Mark.

THANKS

Jordan, Ben, Audrey, Cody, Preston, Mark, Justin, Chelsea, Matt, Kyle, Maegan, Michael,Benjamin, Matt, Sierra, Neil and Cayla.

I had a blast!

Big Thanks to Nat and Charger for all you did to make my birthday special.

I LOVE you both!

Weekend Adventure

2009-08-25T08:22:00.000-07:00

Be careful where you leave your stuff.

We left Natalie's truck in a parking lot to go eat and when we got back we were parked in the middle of a car show. Most normal people would just leave. Not us. Cody popped the hood, Richard talked to the spectators, and I got in the truck and put on my sunglasses. I can't believe people thought we were part of the show.

We went to the buck expo in Dothan. It sucked! We did come home with 2 shirts, a hat, and a 4wheeler. Natalie and Chard got the shirts. Cody and I were left out but we didn't want to be called posers. We better not catch them with a late model shirt on.

knobby like tractor tires

2009-08-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

Stickler

2009-08-20T21:41:00.001-07:00

I'm a sticker for the rules.

Just let me know the rules and I'll follow them.

I hate getting in trouble.

I hate liars and cheaters.

Do you want to know what I hate more than all those things?

People who let just a little bit of power get to their head.

Next time I'll be prepared.

A Little More

2009-08-17T07:27:00.000-07:00

We painted Jim's toenails too.

He had a blister on the top of his foot from riding Rob's horse in crocs. Then when he went fishing he almost cut his big toe off. It was bleeding everywhere and Natalie doesn't believe in band aids... I had to do the best I could with what I had.

I told you this 4wheeler riding was serious.

I traded my riding buddy Lauren, for Chard.

It's not so easy to steer with him on the back.

However, he can just pick the 4wheeler up and move it when I get stuck.

Justin comes to ride with us too.

I love him.
I've also done a little hog hunting.

I don't really like hog hunting.

I do like Benjamin.

I also like the fact that we both have shirts that say Define "Girlfriend"

We're just cool like that.
This is Ben's foot the second time we hooked his toenails up. Natalou gave him that great foot tattoo.
We'll never be able to paint Chard's nails.

You may think he's sleeping... but he's not.

Don't try him.
We hooked Ben up with a really cool back tattoo. Fo-Sho-Ta-Doe!
Another Sunday and we're riding again.

This is the mud track that Ben and P made in the swamp.

I got stuck MEGA BAD!

We had to put on our war paint to get it out.

I'm Back

2009-08-16T17:25:00.000-07:00

Wanna know what I've been doing for the past couple months?

My friend Michele got married and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.

We wore cowboy boots with our dresses.

A month after the wedding I found out there's a baby on the way.

I'm so happy for her :)

And the hunk of beef below, he was at her wedding. I thought he looked like Kenny Chesney.

I made him take a picture with me.

Then I made him sing me a song.

I'm not joking.

This hunk of beef wasn't at her wedding.

Meet Richard.

You can call him Chard... or if your really cool Charger.

We went to Destin for his birthday.

I didn't really know him before the trip but now I luzz him.

He thinks like me.

He's mean and I like it.

If you see us and you think we're talking about you, we probably are. Sorry, but not really.

While we were in Destin, for Charger's birthday, we went to Howl at the Moon. I learned just how much Berry loves Footloose.

And I got to see Natalou in a tutu.
On the 4th of July we went tubing down the Chipola river.

I still have a bruise on my leg from something that happened that day.

I'm not gonna say what happened.

I will say that Chard and Preston are the reason it's there.

I hope they feel bad every time I show them my bruise.
I got a new nephew!

His name is Blace Stafford Layne.

Blace enjoys boobs and cuddling.

I think he's cute.

After Blace was born I thought Shann could use a break.

I called her up and said "let me keep Aiden so you can rest."

I don't think Eric wants me to keep him anymore.

I can't help the boy likes shoes.

I learned that Ben sleeps like a rock. I've painted his toenails twice now. Sorry Buddy!

We've been doing some serious weekly 4wheeler riding.

We go almost every Sunday.

It's ok to be jealous.

Shann let me keep Aiden again. I'm going to say it's because she's sleep deprived.

I didn't let him wear my shoes this time, I let him escape! That's right I lost him and when I found him he was in the front yard. Thank goodness Nic was here to help me. He read him a story and rocked him to sleep. Then he held him so he could take a good long nap. Aiden has a good Uncle Nic.

Life Happens

2009-08-16T16:05:00.000-07:00

And most of the time it doesn't work out just the way we plan. The past 5 months of my life have been a roller coaster ride. Wanna know why?

I've had my heart ripped out... TWICE! One I'm over, the other I'll never be.

I've made bad decisions that ended with bad consequences. Really Bad.

I've had days where all I wanted to do was stay in bed and cry.

I've been let down by people I trusted.

I've let down people who trusted me.

Then I was picked up by my britches legs and dusted off. Wanna know who it was that saved me?

It was Natalie. I love her. She had been missing from my life for a long time. A huge hole in my heart is slowly starting to fill. There will always be holes, that's just life. I'm just happy that the big ones don't hurt so much anymore.

I love you Natalou!

Happy Easter

What happens when I have no plans on a Friday night? I get all crafty.

I try to become Bakerella... and I fail.

I think I'll keep practicing though.

I'm sure Mr. Richard won't mind if my cupcakes aren't all that cute.

"Baventure"

2009-04-07T11:22:00.001-07:00

This is my 4 year old niece Rilee and Baventure is her word for adventure.

This is Ryan's truck going on a baventure. A 135 mile baventure to Watermelon Capital Speedway. Excuse the bug guts on the window.

Ryan made a little joke when I took out my camera and asked me was I gonna put it on my blog. He can joke but I know who looks at my blog the most... even if he won't become a follower or leave me comments :)
