7 Years Today!!!!

Happy Anniversary Babe!!!!

You were and still are a very BIG blessing in my life.

Thanks sooo much for all the many things you do for our family.

I'm grateful we have forever together.

I love you Hunter Dan!!! Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!

The newest member of our family...

Warning we are a weird family!!!!

Remember the "trophy" Hunter Dan got back in the fall? Oh wait I wasn't blogging then. Anyway Hunter Dan is a big time outdoors man, he loves hunting, fishing, camping, and 4-wheelin'. He was exceedingly excited last(whenever it was... in the fall sometime) when he shot this buck!

YAY, honey...way to go!!!

Away it went to the taxidermist with GREAT anticipation of its return... and wouldn't ya know it....it's back already. Well, a few months back when I was suppose to be doing shortmama's "home redo...one room at a time", I posted about how we would be changing the living room into a more outdoors, wilderness, cabiny type room, to accommodate our growing collection of wilderness "stuff"(you can read that post and see pics of the living room here)...didn't happen yet, because of.... "the puking my guts out thing" STILL going on, and lack of money.

Well, no big deal! Hunter Dan doesn't care if he's nestled in with more boutique type things, and here ya go...our newest family member found a place on my unchanged walls. Right above my rocking chair.

Everyone meet "Francisco" (that's a fun name to say.)~Buddy the Elf

We(the kids and I, Hunter Dan does not appreciate our humor)needed our new little friend to have a name. Lexlee piped up with "Francisco", everyone else added..."that's a fun name to say". (Seriously, we love "Elf", and watch it year round!) Hunter Dan gave me the look of "No you will not!" So.....his name is Francisco. He will look fabulous at Halloween time with some cob webs and spiders gently nestled in his antlers, and at Christmas with a Santa hat and red clown nose! Come May 5th, he just might get a sombrero, and mustache.....

Oh Hunter Dan will be so pleased! Thank-you sweetheart for adding this new member to our family, and giving me one more thing to decorate for the Holidays!!:-)

Product of the 80's?

I heart the 80's!! I was born in 1976, and most of my memories of childhood of course come from that awesome time period. Elementary and Junior High.....awww..the memories. Loved... Poison, BonJovi, Skid Row, Firehouse, Slaughter,....just to name a few! How about acid-washed jeans, jean jackets, mini skirts, layered socks and shirts, pegged pants, jelly bracelets, HUGE hair..on and on. I graduated in 1995, and in a small rural town in Idaho, so many of these things lasted well into High School, but by graduation most of these things had moved on, and the nineties style came about.

My Hunter Dan on the other hand was born in 1969...and the 80's are his life!!! He still loves the heavy metal bands!! LOVES...Ozzy, Metallica(o.k. I like them too)...AC/DC..the others I'll just leave out, and let you imagine them.

My song memories are mostly for the ballads that take me back to a certain boyfriend, or dance. Loved that time!

On to the reason for this post....Hunter Dan went to Walgreens to get a prescription filled, while he was waiting he looked around the store(bad idea)! He called and asked what size shirt Ashie wears, when I told him and asked why, he said don't worry about it. Whatever, now I'm scared!

He came home with two little t-shirts, one that was pink and so cute that said..."what part of princess don't you understand?"

And this one...

I laughed...this is SO him, an awesome product of the 80's. Hunter Dan I love you! Thanks for being such a hard worker for our family, and loving us so much!

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone!!! It is once again another blizzard outside, but the daffodils look pretty peeking up from out of the snow...oh wait no they don't they are completely covered!:-)
