Weekend Wrap up!

This weekend was so fun!
Saturday Brent, Rydge and I went to the Gun Show.. Brent bought me a new wallet, its black with a big flower on the front. Super Cute!!! And Brent bought some bullets! We also went to Sportsmans to look around and I just HAD to buy Rydge a Daniel Boone hat!! HA!! Its so stinking cute on him. 
We stopped at IFA and I locked the keys in the truck. .UH OH!.. Luckily Brent has a back window that he was able to pry open, and I shimmied through and unlocked the truck. PHEW! (Brent was NOT happy)
We bought some pants for Brent and Rydge.. Um, FYI Rydge is in 2T Slims.. He is getting so big. They are a little long, but we did that on purpose! I just cant believe my little boy, is a toddler now. NOT a baby. And After seeing Aubree's Little New Born it hits me even harder that Rydge isnt a baby.
This Cute Little Bundle is Evan, 8 pds 4 oz.
Do you see how tiny and chunky he is.. and ALL of that cute hair! Uh I LOVE him.
Brent kept telling me, I cant believe Rydge used to be that small.. Seriously People, It made
me baby hungry :/... Thats when Brent told me it was time to go. HA!!
Sunday we did absolutly NOTHING!!! We stayed in our PJ's all day, Well, Rydge did take a bath! We played, munched all day, and just relaxed.. it was awesome!
Now it is Monday and another work week.. Uh! I really cant wait till Tax season is over!
Ive got Crafts to do ;)
Hope your weekend was Fantastic!

Drum Roll Please.

My CAR is PAID OFF!!!
We officially OWN my car. We got it in 2007, and had a 5 year loan.. we paid it off a few months early (Thanks to our Tax Return) BUT... Its officially ours. And it feels AWESOME!!!
Sadly, I am already starting to look at vehicles, more and more. I LOVE the escapes, and it would be great to have a more roomie car. Brent looks so funny driving my little car, his knees come up past the steering wheel, his head practiclly hits the roof. And its just really uncomfortable for him. PLUS, Its just small. Were gonna try to hold out for another year, and start saving. I dont want another car payment yet! AW.. RELIEF!!
Also...
Brents Service Truck for the SHOP is PAID OFF!!!
We took out a loan to get a service truck for the shop. It is officially paid off as well!
So now, we can drop that completly OFF our insurance, and we will save 150 bucks, plus 165 Dollar payment each month! Just from this truck!!
WA freakin HOOO*
So, All in All thanks to our Taxes, we now dont have a car payment, and a truck payment.
We also paid off a few other here and there bills from Christmas that we have been paying on, and have those all caught up!! But, for the most part our Tax return paid off our BIGGEST payments of all.
We now have no payments. except for the usual (Rent, Utilities, ect..)
I was sorta sad because our Tax return is pretty much gone! BUT, it totally paid off, and I am so relieved and happy!!! Were saving up to 700 dollars a month since these are paid off and taken care of.
:)! Big Ol' Smile.

Valentines Day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
I am such a NERD with holidays.. the little holidays I go all out! This year for Valentines day I was so excited!! I made brent the best gift ever! And the best part it cost me nothing, because I had everything.
I made "Be my Valentine" blocks, and all the red papers are "I love.." notes!!! There were probably about 30-40 of them. The blocks held 13, but I couldnt just stop at 13.. so I wrote more. And he loved it!!! I also made a candy bar valentine, that I got off of pintrest. It was super cute too!
Rydgey got a Monkey balloon that said Love You on it.. and a HUGE thing of M&M's. He loves those!!
Mama Got a suprised delivery of Carnations in a CUTE little Xoxo Vase!! From the hubs and little boy!
We finished the day with dinner, and Jake and the neverland pirates.. cuddled up on the couch, with a fire going!! I LOVE my boys so much, and really Valentines day isnt about flowers, and gifts.. its about Love and appreciation for your spouse and family! Im so lucky to have a hard working hubby and a sweet little boy!! Hope your Valentines day was as great as mine!

Monkey See, Monkey Do

This picture right here looks like nothing.. but the story behind it is PRICELESS!
(My shadow is blocking the dutch oven :(..just look close, youll see it!)
So, were outside playing, and we let the dogs out.. Rydge loves his dogs.
He gets so excited to play.. well in front of the door if you look closelly I have a
dutch oven full of nasty water from snow, rain, freezing and mud.. its gross. Well
Koda found it and started drinking out of it. I turn my back for one second when I turn around
Rydge is bent over DRINKING THE NASTY DUTCH OVEN WATER.
WHAT??? Really...
 It was the funniest thing ever!
I started laughing, Rydge looked at me and started whipping his tongue off
with his hand..and gave me the funniest look! It was priceless!
I guess since Koda can drink out of the nasty dutch oven, well by gawl, so can he!

A Heavy Heart

It's been an emotional week.
My Uncle Kevin passed away, along with my Great Aunt Alta.
Just a day within each other.
Kevin was an amazing person, such a mountain man, loved the outdoors. He was a loving dad and husband, I feel for Penny and the kids! He will be missed very much, the ranch wont be the same without him.
I was never close with him, but I loved how caring and loving he was. Kevin touched so many
lives, and I will always remember Uncle kevin!
My Aunt Alta.. She was a great person. My grandma and all of her sisters are very close, trips all the time together, the last couple years Alta has been in and out of a Cancer Treatment Center in Arizona.
She went to the hospital with double phenumonia, and I guess she was just done fighting. She was also a big part of the ranch, and part of how the ranch became the ranch!
These 2 will be greatly missed, and If it wasnt for the faith that I ahve today, I dont know what I would do.
I am glad that I know and believe that there is life after death, and they are in heaven with family and friends, and our heavenly father! And we will see them again.
I love you both, and will miss you both. Thank you for touching my life,
and you will always be in my heart!
