Like Victoria's Sexy Little Bride... we are having a Spooky Little Bride!

Step one...

When hosting a spookactular lingerie shower one must 
PREPARE THE PUMPKINS
{Part One}
White pumpkins are WAY to high in price... so we made out own :)

B-O-O...
A bling and black BOO...


This sweet boy {RD} gutted his pumpkin and got right to work on a masterpiece....




A black pumpkin... A white pumpkin... throw in some bling... and an ole black crow...


This is my favorite so far...



This is not a cut out like a regular pumpkin but instead he scraped the skin off allowing the light to shine through. This is when it's all lit up. Is this not amazing!!! He fee handed it too!



There are 2 more pumpkins to go... 
I have one finished and my email won't work so I can get the picture.
The other is in the process.
Tomorrow they will be finished.
And posted promptly thereafter.

Life is good...

Now a days a post is few and far between.... but I do what I can. Working takes a lot of hours out of your day! I never realized. But then again... it puts money in your pocket book... so I guess it evens out. I guess...

Anyways....

Often, there are times when I want to type out exactly what I am feeling at that moment or the random thought that has popped into my brain.. but life kicks in, times flies, and the thought passes. I am seriously contemplating on writing these thoughts down and compiling a book - after of course I type them onto my blog... but then again who has time to write down stuff when there are quotas to meet, deadlines to beat, and places to be? Oh life.

I have been spending a lot of time with this guy. Even though RD is favorite, I run a close 2nd. We are definitely beating Creeddaddy & Susie... They discipline and frown upon people food. RD teaches tricks and gives treats while I just give him whatever it is I am eating at the time. He is like a person. He trips us out.

His new favorite spot to relax = under my bed.
 
I also got to spend some time with this precious baby child.....

Gracie Lee!
I played with her and then Melissa (her mommy) and I went out to dinner. It's been a while since me and Melissa got to hang out and the first time she has left Gracie for any period of time. It was fun for all parties... especially Nona (Melissa's mom) who got to stay and play with baby girl!

I have a couple of PRECIOUS pictures of my favorite boys... they will be my next post. It will be a tribute to Alabama football wrapped up in their absolute cuteness and sweet selves! 

Tonight, RD and I went to the funeral home. A member of our church and a very sweet man passed away. Timmy Robinson died at the young age of 50 and will be laid to rest tomorrow. He had a smile on his face every Sunday morning when I saw him. He always said good morning or hello or something. He will be truly missed.... but I know he is playing that guitar in Heaven right now while the good Lord smiles back at him.

It's almost been one month since I last blogged.

I am the maid of honor in my cousin's wedding. I am hosting the lingerie shower.. I cannot wait to post pictures!!!! Here is peak of the invite...
What I have been up to....

I work everyday from 7:30 - 4:30. I drive 280 in order to get there. I hate it. Why do people forget how to drive when they get over the mountain? 

I miss the days of sleeping in and maybe studying or just going antique shopping 50 miles away instead. I miss driving to Tuscaloosa. There I said it.. I miss college.

I loved high heels until the day I had to wear them everyday. Now a pair of flip flops might as well be called Heaven on Earth! And my new obsession with house shoes.... yes house shoes. I found a blue pair with frogs on them in my closet a few months back. I think they might have been Melissa's... mine now. I wear them ALL the time. I contemplated wearing them into
Smith's the other day... RD was like nahhh prolly not a good idea. Haha... his face was priceless.

I go to a rodeo every weekend... and I love it. I have the best boyfriend ever.. I could not ask for better. 

I planted these at the beginning of summer. I planted large and small.. I will post the picture of the large (over 6 feet tall!) but here are the small... how cute are these guys!!!???

{The picture quality is not perfect... i took it with my iPhone.}

I have spent time with family and friends. Went to a family reunion and to visit my sweet Mamaw :)

Did I mention that I spent lots of time with my two favorite boys? Mattson & Payson. I love those little guys! We watched football last Saturday and the Saturday before we played at Coco's house all day while their mommy & daddy cleaned carpet. We had more fun :)

Since the intro of the big orange tractor, if the sun is in the sky then RD is on the tractor. So Coco must find ways to entertain herself...

On his land there are several little ponds... so anyone that knows me well will know exactly what I did...

I went fishin'...
And caught 6 fish :)

I hope everyone is doing well. I currently have the stomach bug and have been out of work for the past 2 days. I hope to be back tomorrow. I kinda miss talking to strangers over the phone. Really it's kinda fun. 

I am going to try and do better with my blog... it looks sad currently. There are just not enough hours in the day anymore. Especially since Memaw here goes to bed at 9... I am getting old.

Oh and ROLL TIDE :)
