Deer Camp

Deer Season is finally here. That means that I get to dress up in clothes that blend in with the outdoors and play hide-and-seek! On Opening Day Eve, we got together and went to the camp behind B.B.'s house. We did everything outside and it was great!!! Oh, and there was this big fire that I was totally fascinated by.......the heat did not scare me, so then Mommy and everyone else were scared! We ate brisket, ribs, chicken, potatoe salad, beans, brownies, cake and dirt (well, I think that I am the only one that ate the dirt.) I had two friends there to play with, Dillon and Anna Claire. We had a fun time keeping our parents running! They said something about having a fenced yard next time, I think. Anyway, the next day, Uncle J took me with him to fill deer feeders and do those things that only guys can do. He was even brave and took me to eat at a sit down restaurant! After I played in the mud, he took me to Busia and Dzia Dzia house so they could clean me up because Mommy was out and about! It is so good to have such a fun and sweet family! Enjoy the pics!

Yaya and I at the deer camp!

Me making my rounds while everyone is trying to eat. I am glad that Gaga and Poppie left their puppies at home........I had a monopoly on the food beggin' game!

Poppy and I.....can you see me?

Dillon and I discussing firewood....very intriguing!

Leaves.....fun to play with, fun to munch on!

Poppie has taught me to tell Mommy, Gaga and Aunt Dee "ehh-ehh-ehh" (which translates into no, no, no!) Oh, and I have to point my finger at them so they get the picture. This could potentially cause even more trouble for me!

Still grazing.......Uncle J seemed to have the quickest fork so that is where I spent most of my time!

Deer camp is a lot for a little boy like me to handle......BUT it was a short lived nap!

Shhhhh, Poppie!

On the way home from Deer Camp, before we even got out of the pasture. What a fun night!

Watch out, Paula Deen!! Here I come..........

Come closer, Daddy! Why are sitting so far from me?!

Yummy and Messy.....does not get any better than this!

Helping Mommy and Daddy clean up.

The finished goods!

Call the zoo......Runaway Monkey!!!

Trick-or-Treat!

Surely this is not how this works........

Daddy and Monkey...........too cute!

Some of my favorite friends.....Cam and Arista!

Hmmmm, what do I need to do next?!

One tired little Monkey........

Happy Halloween!

Okay, so no one told me about this whole "dress up and take candy from strangers" gig that took place on October 31st. No complaints here, though! Mommy, Daddy, and I made Halloween cookies. Well, actually Mommy cooked the cookies, I decorated and Daddy monitored to make sure the mess did not get too far out of control. We make a good team! At first, I was not sure about the icing. I mean, it was a lot of fun to play in, but Mommy kept putting on my lips for me to taste and I just did not know about that. Then, all of a sudden, I tasted some...........boy, was it yummy! I then proceeded to put as much of the spatula in my mouth as I possibly could (side note to all of you who ate one of my homemade treats: I licked the spatula only AFTER I finished icing all the cookies!) After the cookie mess, or masterpiece, it was straight to the bathtub for me and then on with the monkey costume. I even let Mommy put the ears on me and did not pull them off. I actually make a pretty good monkey.....I run, climb, and squeel like one! Off we went to trick-or-treat! I went and saw Busia first. I knew exactly what to do when I saw the bowl full of candy! We made a couple of other stops and then off to Nacogdoches to Scare on the Square. We went there because Mommy wanted some good pictures of me from Creative Photography and she got some. I was cooperative and even posed and smiled when Clay took my picture.......I figured I would scare Mommy and Daddy on Halloween by doing what I was supposed to! Then we headed out to the square where there were lots of people with candy......I am pretty sure they were all there to see me because I looked so darn cute dressed up like a monkey. We made our way around the square. I was not too interested in the candy and I think Mommy and Daddy were a little disappointed in that because it messed up their plans to take it all from me! We headed back to Center and Mommy and Daddy dropped me off with Aunt Dee, Poppie and Gaga and disappeared for about an hour.....probably to eat Mexican food in peace! I had some mac-n-cheese and made a few business calls. Then, home we went! Sunday was church. On the way into the nursery, I fell and hit my head on the gravel and it bled!!! I screamed for a few seconds, but then decided I rather play in the nursery than cry. After that, we had lunch, when I turned my booster seat over and clothes-lined myself with the table......cried again. No battle wounds from that, just scared me. Mommy and Daddy were then scared to take me to Tucker's birthday party at "Pump It Up" but I made it through without any other injuries! My cousin Garrett rode with us and we had a fun time. We both snoozed on the way so we would be ready to party and party we did! On the way home, I crashed again. What a fun-filled weekend it was!!! Enjoy the pics!!!!
