NOOOOOOOO….you CAN NOT ride your sister like a BULL!!!!!!

Sooo….if you know our family, you know that I have a little cowboy…….it makes my mama heart feel better to still call him “little”. 

This story begins when he was about 2 1/2 years old and THE Girl was not even crawling yet…….YES I KNOW YOU HAVE HEARD THIS ONE, but it leads up to the next one, so bear with me!!!!    SHEEESH!!!!!

I am in the kitchen making something and I hear this little distressed squeaking noise from the living room…..I walk around the corner and there is THE Girl on her stomach with her big brother on her back…….he has a rope under her and has one hand high in the air…..

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!”  I ask ever so calmly!!!

 ”I was just riding sissy like a bull!”

***Things you NEVER imagine coming out of your mouth as a mother………“NOOOOOO……..you CAN NOT ride your sister like a bull!!!!!”

He never again pretended that THE girl was a bull, but the couch arm, the footboard of the bed, the toy box….etc…..was fair game.

I REALLY thought he would someday grow out of this stage, but at almost 12 (aaaaggghhhhhh) he still wants to be a bull rider.  So what does a mother do in a case like this…….?!?!?!    TAKE HIM TO MEET PROFFESIONAL BULL RIDERS, of course!!!!!

So he hung out with and talked smack (lots of it) with Luke Kelley, Lorenzo Rios, and Fransisco Morales!   I REALLY think Cory and Luke were cut from the same cloth!   OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!  They talked smack for a good 20 minutes till Cory shut him down with “I’ve had more girlfriends than you will ever have in your dreams.”  That is when Luke turned to me and told me “He definently talks like a bull rider!”  oh my!!!!

What I got from the whole experience…………This is what I wanna do when I grow up!!!!!!!……..

MY George Eastman…….

These are a bit old, but ones I def NEED to share…….During the school year, last year, THE Girl had to do an oral book report and dress up as the main character…..She came home with a book about George Eastman……and the pics are the rest of the story…….ENJOY!

This morning the boys got up and went hunting…..i slept till 8…….THE Boy went to help his Poppy…….and THE  girl and her daddy and I went for a bike ride………

prim and proper……..YAH RIGHT!!!!

A few weeks ago my mom and I spent three days together going through pics and sharing many stories….(you know….the kind you wait to tell till you are grown! heehee) ….and laughs…..and tears!

After Christmas I want to blog some of the pics we found but here is one to tide you over……..

So…. as long as I can remember my mom has tried to instill the “prim and proper” into me!  We all see how that turned out!  but apparently I was resistant very early on……..

mom and me

Needless to say…….this one had me laughing for hours!!!!!!!

SNOW….finally

It  finally started to snow……….here on my blog!     It makes my heart a little happy!   heehee

So today  starts the last week of THE most wonderful job I have ever had…….you know….the kind you look forward to EVERY morning.   Seriously!?!?!?  They were paying me to do that!   WOWZER!!!!  It was definitely God’s hand in getting me there……I can only imagine what he has for me next!

I have learned ALOT in the last couple of months, but what I will walk away with and hold close is how to be an encourager…….CHRISTY PENN is an encourager.  Thank you, Sweet Friend, for teaching me and letting me share in this little leg of your journey!

*** TAGGED ***

o.k.   So I was “tagged” a while back (a lOOOOOng while back) and just never did respond.

I am suppose to list 6 things about myself that I have not blogged about yet….( if you know me, some of these will not be news to you! LOL)

Here it goes!****

 1)    I  H*A*T*E  chocolate! (white choc is o.k.)

2)   I am the baby and the only girl in my family (three older brothers)…yes,     I was and am quite spoiled (just ask my hubby) .  I have heard that it is O.K. to be spoiled as long as you are not spoiled rotten!

3)   Growing up, we did not have a TV (wish we did not have one now!)

4)  I like feet and hands (not in a weird fetish way).  If I have hung out with you more than two or three times, I could probably identify you by your hands, just one of those quirky things.

5)  I live on a compound.  LOL        Might post about that one day!

6)  I don’t like ladders (not scared of heights, just don’t like ladders!)  and pliers (they make the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up!  Not if I use them, but if someone is holding them and is standing next to me.)

O.K.  I think that is enough ammo  for now…

What is in a (nick)NAME!?!

Do you have a nickname?!   Do you love your nickname or is it a sore reminder of  days gone by!?!?!  Is it a name that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?  Does it rake on your nerves when some people use it and make you feel OVERLY loved when THAT person says it!?

People put alot of thought into naming their kids…..as well they should…..they are stuck with it for life.  How much thought goes into a nickname…….usually non……it just happens.

I have an Uncle Punk……suppose to be born on the fourth of July……came a day late!  lol  (that one cracks me up)  58 years old and still goes by his nickname!

Some guy in Kentucky running for sherrif named “Peanut” … yes….that is on his election sign……..AND HE WON!     seriously!?!  and noone seems to know his “real”  name!

My Papa always called my Grandma “Nuisance”….you should have seen her eyes light up and when she would leave little notes to him, that is how she would sign them! 

I have my two “Brendas”…and on a good day, one of them is also known as “Buckwheat”.

To my Scotty, I was “Goon”………why………once again……who knows! but I loved it!

To my brothers and my daddy (sometimes my momma) I am “Sissy”……you should have seen the looks on the third and fourth grade kids faces when I would walk  into my mom’s classroom and she would call me “Sissy”! (lots of giggles and whispers!)

For a long time in school I was “FAMOUS AMOUS”!  and my friends were “Ape”, “Sketty”, “Bug”, “Kat” you get the picture!  lol

But the nickname that started this post is the one I got on the day I was born…..”PIE”.   My mom is the only one that has ever called me Pie, but it does sweet things to my soul to hear “Pie Alicyn”.

…..long story short…..I was born on the same day that precious momma of mine made 24, yes folks……TWENTY FOUR (24) apple pies!

So what is your NICKNAME!?!?!?!  I wanna know!
