Saturday Snapshots linked up

Run Miss Nelsons got the Camera

So I am joining up with my friend for her 
Saturday Snapshots...


sorry this is soooo blurry but this pic
sets up the stage for my Bub's life long love of
the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
and Drew Brees #9
this was the night the Saints won the Super Bowl
he is waving a number one
and the shirt he is wearing...
was mine when I was little :)


ok now 
let's flashback 2 Santas ago...
2 years
when my Bub asked Santa 
yep on his knee at bass Pro Shop...
should have seen Santa's face
But he asked Santa for Drew Brees
for Christmas
you see we live in Texas 
and it is Cowboy Nation 
or Houston Texans Country

so I am pretty sure this Santa really had NO CLUE
what my kiddo was asking for
you see
Bub wanted Drew Brees to go to Disney with us...

at the time if you asked Bub what his name was...
he would tell you
Drew Brees #9 Freeman Farley
(that is his name plus Brees plus a number plus my parents last name)
anyways he said this for years
he even learned to write his name like that... 
well needless to say
Santa didn't kidnap Drew Brees 
but he did give Bub a mini Drew Brees doll
and boy did he love it
 and this Drew Brees went with us to Disney
here he is photobombing 
as we drove by the Super Dome
(aka the Saints football dome)
well let me tell you my Bub started boo who-ing because
we didn't stop there to pick up the real Drew Brees 
because he still thought the real Drew Brees was going to Disney with us...



so obviously my kiddo has a huge LOVE for 
Drew Brees #9
and so when we heard he was going to be in a small town very close to where we live
(thank you aunt Shelley for the heads up)
you bet your fluer de lis 
we woke up at 3 in the morning to get there...
and it was all a BIG SECRET to Bub

Hubs saw an opportunity for Bub to get up close to Drew Brees 
and 
he took it...
my Drew yelled at Drew Brees...
DREW BREES NUMBER NINE
and waved his mini Drew at him...
Drew Brees leaned over and said
Hey there little buddy and tapped him on the head
Bub said...
my name is Drew too
(he is not named after Drew Brees he is named after my Great Gpa Drew... but it worked)
and Drew Brees asked Bub if he wanted his picture taken with him...
AHHHHHH 
before we knew it...
my DREW 
was up on stage with 
DREW BREES
and look so is
MINI DREW

it was magical
it was overwhelming
it was the best day
after Hubs got Bub off the stage they hugged so hard 
and all of us were boo who-ing

it is not everyday where you get to see your kiddo's dreams come true...
and even though he is still not going to Disney with us
that one little moment and this one little pic
are magical memories


thanks to Mrs. Nelson 
for this great linky where I can share this once in a lifetime snapshot


Pink Eye, Flood, and a Gar Hole


so if you are here to see me getting my classroom together 
or what theme I have picked for this year 
or a product I might have made
or really anything teacher created...
well
so sorry
you won't find that in this post
my little fam of 3 has been super busy...
we have had a lot of schtuff going on 
and none of it is teacher schtuff....
so if you are looking for the above I completely understand if you X out of here
but if you want to know what we have been up to keep reading....


so let's go back to the start of the summer...
we had a little engagement party to go to for my cuz Will...
this is where I painted my face on
usually my face has the summer off
but for special occasions it gets dolled up...
this occasion I even put on party lashes
I used all my good make-up
ALL my good makeup
and the next day...
I found out I had 
wait for it....
PINK EYE
had to throw all of my eye makeup away...
dr's orders... 
insert way sad face...
way sad face with pink eye
and where the heck did I get pink eye it was summer

 not too long after that...
our house flooded...
YAY
it happened in Bub's bathroom
and the toilet was like the best gusher I have ever seen...
thank goodness it was clean water...
well at least it was when I waded through the ankle deep water to turn it off
I have 10 rooms in my house and only 1 room didn't have water in it...
and so lots and lots of fans later and dehumidifiers and mops and brooms and
all kinds of crazy...
baseboards were pulled carpet and padding removed
and kitchen cabinets busted and
tiles removed and other schtuff...
well thank GOD for my parents...
dad watched bub while mom and i came days and days to the house to clean and sweep and mop and clean and then
we camped out at my parent's
because who can sleep with all those fans blowing... I think there were like 28 in all
well actually i made hubs sleep at home with the fur babies
one I was scared to leave the house vacant after all those peeps were in there
ripping and drying and tearing and drying and cracking and drying and well at one time I counted 12 strangers in my house... and they saw all that my house had to offer ...
all...
and 2 my poor fur babies couldn't be home alone with all those fans
i love my hubs...
plus I'm sure his snoring was louder than the fans

we are all dried up and waiting on the remodeling fixing to start... just waiting on insurance...
tick tock tick tock
 in the middle of the GREAT FARLEY FLOOD of 2014
i got to go to a BARRY LANE pd
so funnnnn
he sings a lot
and he doesn't put icing on the state testing issues...
i appreciate that
 A LOT!!!

 I am not sure what we were doing here...
but in the middle of all of this craziness...
we went on a vaycay...
and look at us...
we needed it...

 we stopped at the Louisiana Bass Pro Shop...
because it took us longer to get through Louisiana than Texas...
I am coming from middle Texas and well an 8 hour trip turned into a 12 hour trip....
thanks Louisiana...
anyways... the Bass Pro Shop is beautiful
for a Bass Pro Shop
and was a great pit stop
good snacks...
nice clean potties
and well it is better than a truck stop

 super huge gar...
spying on my little man...
he kept staring at my guy and I got a little paranoid
could it jump out???
did it want to eat him...
i am fully aware if it jumped out its chances of eating Bub were not so good
BUT
gar have teeth people..
big sharp teeth
if my pic was better you could see his...
so bub was quickly escorted away after this pic
creepy gar...
go back to your gar hole
 finally we got to gma's house and the next day
the very first thing we do...
go to the snow ball place
it was on bub's Mississippi Bucket List

i use to spend my summers with my grandparents and we always went to THIS
yep THIS snow ball place ...
YUMMY



we did adult things too...
grandma and my aunt watched Bub
and hubs and I went to the slots

a few days after our return and 
I had surgery...
unexpected BUT needed

my ultrasound looked like I was storing golfballs on my ovary...
i don't like golf
stupid ovary
it was an in and out procedure 
i was home in like 3 hours

 on the way home we had to get
Oh Boys...

and no better place than
bahama bucks
