I promise I've been Good!

If only Santa could look beyond this cute little face to realize how onry he is. You can't tell can you?

The Great White Hunter

For many of you that don't know my husband he is an avid hunter. I have never known someone to love something so much. It is hunting season this time of year which includes deer, pheasant, and dove (I think). So everday that he goes hunting I can maybe expect one of these animals to be brought to my house dead. FINE. But when your husband brings home a BOBCAT it is a little different!!!! Not only do we have a dead bobcat it is in our FREEZER!!! Yeah!!! Can you believe it???????? I have not to look at it yet. It makes my stomach hurt thinking of it and I have a VERY strong stomach! I am a nurse, but this makes me queazy. He says that he is going to have it stuffed and put on our living room. Fat chance of that ever happening. We already have stuffed animals that now reside in the garage. Anyways he is pretty proud of this cat, and supposedly it is pretty big for a bobcat, I think about 50lbs. I have never seen them except for at the zoo. Here are some pictures of my husband and his prized kill!! ( I am afraid that both of my sons will turn out to be hunters too!!!) Briggs already has a gun and a ton of camo gear!

Very Thankful

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and stuffed our faces until we were about to pop! It has been a wonderful year and there are so many things to be thankful for. I want to share some of the things that I am so thankful for:

My baby boy, he has been healthy and has grown into a traveling toddler

My pregnancy, we were on fertility with Briggs and this was natural

My husband, he works so hard to support our family and I love him dearly

My job, I LOVE my job and everything about it, being around babies all day, the flexibility, the list goes on and on

My father in laws health, He has had three major surgeries this year and he is a healthy man, he is back in great health

My Aunt Jo Anne, she beat cancer for the SECOND time and has had a successful stem cell transplant

My new house, it is bigger and now my boys will have plenty of room to run around

My family, Pretty self explanatory

My in laws, That is underneath family but they are above and beyond the best in laws anyone could have

God, Without him none of this is possible

I probably could go on and on but I will stop for now. We did Thanksgiving at my parent's house in Amarillo and Briggs made a gingerbread house. We have kind of been busy lately with doctor's appointments and stuff like that. I had to get another sono because they couldn't see Grady's spine very well the first time. Everything went well and all looks good. I can't wait to meet him, he just needs to cook a little longer! Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving.

What's in a Name?

After much deliberation we finally have a name for our baby boy. We were not going to tell anyone and just let them find out on the Christmas cards but that is a hard secret to keep, so our second son will be.....drum roll please Grady Alan Satterfield. Yes we know his initials will be GAS, but so are my father in laws he is Gregory Alan. Grady is such an old name and it goes well with Briggs. Speaking of Christmas cards my friend Tammy took our pictures and Oh my gosh!! She did such an awesome job. Check her blog @ tamarastiles.blogspot.com. She really has good ideas and was very quick too. Thanks Tammy!!! Here are some of the photos!

Sharp Dressed Man

We had a really busy week last week and we are really tired this week! Cody had to get his physical for his new job, we took our family Christmas pictures, had a sono appointment, had to work and then we topped it off by going to ZZ Top on Saturday (no pun intended). It was a really good concert even though they are REALLY old! We went with my in-laws, who are so young at heart, and my sister in law and her fiance'. Time to get busy on the nursery now, I just can't seem to get adjusted to this new time, and neither can Briggs! He also had his 15 month well check yesterday and he was perfect! Of course I already new that! Hopefully this week we will get a little more rest. Have a great week and don't forget to VOTE!!

It's a .........

BOY!!!! Yup, baby boy #2 is on his way! We are so excited to finally get to call him a he! Briggs is excited too, not that he understands but we get excited when we tell him he is going to have a brother so he thinks he should too!! I will try to get some of the sono pics up soon. Have a great day!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch and corn maze this past weekend. We did not get to go through the maze because it was blown down and the patch was very muddy, we did however manage to get a few pumpkins or "nanas" as Briggs calls them. He really enjoyed it and I think Cody loved it too! I am finally starting to feel better! I think Cody and Briggs are really glad too! The baby moves a lot and I love this part of the pregnancy! We have been looking at work to see what the sex of the baby is but it has its legs closed! I go on October 29th to get my actual sonogram, hopefully we will get to find out then. Here are some pictures of the pumpkin patch and of baby Satterfield #2!
