Owen's Deer

Owen had the chance to come out and shoot a management buck.  He was super excited to get a nice wide 8 point.

However, right after he shot it, the deer ran through a bush and his horns fell off.  Crazy, but true, story.

2015 Christmas

Santa brought the boys a trampoline and some Lego planes this year.  They must have been really good.

Momma must have been really good, too!

The day we got the trampoline put together the boys jumped on it wearing only their underwear....

....the very next day, this is what it looked like outside.

Much to our surprise, Lolly and Pops got the boys electric dirt bikes for Christmas.

There have been a few crashes, but they have been minor, thankfully.

We ended our Christmas break by building a lot of Lego sets....

....and playing lots of games of Trouble and Uno.

13th Anniversary

Chris and I celebrated our 13th Anniversary while we were on our ski trip with the rest of the family.  So one night, they let us sneak away for dinner.  Chris found this unique experience where we got to ride up the ski mountain in the Snow Cat and have dinner at the top.  The trip up and down the mountain was awesome.  The food and the entertainment was superb as well.  We really enjoyed ourselves, and it will be an anniversary we will never forget.

Stock Shows

My sweet Heath loves the stock shows.  Hunter...doesn't.  It's ok.  Hunter may be more like his momma in this area.

Watts Family Ski Trip

During Christmas break, my family took a trip to Red River to go snow skiing. We had a blast and the boys had a great time learning to ski. Hunter was very cautious and did NOT like falling downing. Heath, on the other hand, pointed his skis straight down the hill, tried to go as fast as he possibly could, and had the most epic of crash at the bottom. We put them in ski school the first day and kept them with us the second. It was an exhausting blast!

Heath and Hunter Turn 7!

I'm a little late with this post. Life doesn't slow down to blog. 

These sweet boys turned 7 last week. They are getting so big!    It makes my heart hurt a little bit. I want them to stay my little boys forever. On the other hand, I can't wait to see what life has in store for them. They make my cup overflow and I couldn't be more proud to be their mom. 

I asked Heath on their birthday to stop growing up so big. To which he replied," I can't Mom, the Braves didn't have a very good year this year and they need me."  Haha. That boy keeps us rolling!

2015 Pumpkin Spice Review

I'm sure you have all been eagerly anticipating my Pumpkin Spice Review of 2015, so I hate to make you wait any longer.

It was hard to find new and different pumpkin flavored items this year, but I have a host of friends that helped me out.

This chocolate bar was tasty and you could tell it had a pumpkin spiciness to it, but I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, so I gave it to my sister.

These donuts were Delish!  I tried to share with the twins because I definitely don't need a whole bag of donuts, but I probably ate more than they did.

This popcorn was super yummy, too.  It tasted like caramel corn with a spicy kick to it.  I'm keeping my eyes out for another bag, because this one went too quickly.

These are the best for making Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow.  I made a big batch for the project graduation bake sale, and there weren't any bags left, so I guess it sold well.  I, of course, tried it out and they were super yummy.

A dear friend gave me these to munch on for our trip to Denver.  Despite the fact that they melted in the truck on the way up there, they were still really good.  Gooey but good.

Hi.  My name is Crystal and I love STALE peeps.  I must confess that I opened this package and let them sit on the counter for a few days before I tasted them.  I love peeps that are stale.  These were the BOMB!  

Unfortunately, these also melted in the truck on the way to Denver, but they were an awesome mess of gooey caramel, melted chocolate, and pumpkin spice awesomeness!
