Deer fever....

hot and heavy. Hunter and Hayley are true Wethington's, they have deer fever B-A-D. Hunter had went hunting Monday when he got home from school with Brian and saw several, nothing big enough for him though. Today (Thursday) it was Hayley's turn to go after school and she "shot" a 6 point buck!!(Brian helped her hold the gun and she pulled the trigger!) She is SO proud. Honestly, I don't know who is more proud, her daddy or her. Much to my surprise, Hunter has been really good about this--he just said he is waiting for the perfect one to shoot. We shall see--GAME ON BIG BOY!!!

I had to laugh when after we were done taking pictures, she asked me to put his on our blog and then print a picture out so that she can take it to school!

Hunter wanted to get his picture taken with her too--how sweet!

I love her face on this one--it's taking all she has to hold his head up!

Don't know who is more proud:
Hayley or Daddy

Can't win for losing

It's been an eventful two weeks here at the Wethington's but not by my choice. Hayley had chicken pox's for the second time 2 weeks ago and now she has been down with the flu since Friday. I tell you what, its been pretty rough--104 temperature, snotty nose, barking cough and lots of breathing treatments. She is sleeping about 4 1/2 hour stretches--I feel like we have a newborn all again! I am hoping that she is on the mend and we all can get some much needed rest. All in all she has been a trooper, she feels good for while and then it hits and wipes her out! I am just ready for her to start feeling well!

Out of the kids mouths...

I don't' know where the kids get some of the things they say, or do I want to know in some case. Seems as if almost daily Brian and I get laughing at some of the funniest things they share with us:

Hayley: " I just fed the cows dessert."
Me: " You did?"
Hayley: "Yep, Daddy and I just sat out a roll of new hay!"


Hunter (to Brian): "Daddy what was your favorite subject in school?"
Brian: "Dismissal"

Hayley: "Mom, do trees loose their leaves because there is no more money on them?"
*So she really has been paying attention when we say that money doesn't grow on trees.

Hunter: (Eating sour patch kids): "these are sourery"

Hayley: Mom are we going to survival tonight (we had been going to revival last week)

Call me crazy.....

we put up our Christmas tree up today. This just a week and a half earlier then normal, but it seemed that this was the only weekend that we didn't have plans and it also gave Hayley something to do while Hunter was at school. (She has been off all week with Chicken Pox) We did wait until Hunter came home to put any ornaments on. It was SO nice to start wrapping presents that we have bought and put them under the tree.
Some people thing that I am out of my mind, and I may be! The past several years it seems as if we are having to run here and there trying to get in time with all our families. I was so tired of putting the tree up for a week or two and then having to take it down, with little or no time to enjoy it. Now we put it up the week before Thanksgiving, that way we have time to really enjoy our beautiful tree and what the season is all about....JESUS
* only 48 more days left until Jesus' Birthday*

Chicken Pox

Yes, I said it. Hayley has her first official "sick day" from school today. Yesterday afternoon I got a call to come and get her from school. She had a "rash" that was looking like chicken pox. We went to see Dr. Massey and she confirmed that it was definitely that! Most kids cry when they have to go to school, not Hayley she cried because of not being able to return to school until Monday if we are fever free (which we have been thus far) and missing Bonnie. She's too sweet.
Hayley and Hunter have both had chicken pox before, Hunter was 9 months old and Hayley when she was 18 months....yes, both have also had the vaccine as well. I just hope that this is the last time it visits our family!!

Trick or Treat

It's been tradition as long as Hunter has been born that we go to Louisville and Trick or Treat with Pop. Last year, Brian had to work-- so he was super excited, as were the kids, that he was off this year. In the past we have always went to Zoneton Firehouse and Little Flock for our goodies--this year we changed it up some. Unity had Trick or Trunk and then we went around Pop and Nana's subdivision--the kids had a blast. I honestly don't know who had more fun the kids or Brian. Nana and I laughed at how many times they fell running from house to house! We ended up with more candy that they could ever dream of.

Fall fun

We took advantage of the beautiful weather that we had Friday and went into Louisville to drop off our supplies for the Chicken coop. While Brian and I were helping Ma and Pa, the kids thought it would be fun to pick up all the leaves (ah to be a kid again!) They had lots of fun getting leaves in the wheel barrow and throwing them at the chickens. I think they had more blow back out then in!!

Chicken Coop

Couple of weeks ago, a little mink decided that he would eat him some chickens--OK actually 12! With this in mind and how Ma and Pa love their chickens, we decided that we would build them a bigger and better chicken coop for their Christmas present! The one that they have now is 30 years old--don't get me wrong it's still standing and all, but this one will be "more up to date" We had lots of fun with everyone who helped with our project--Aunt Vickie, Uncle Ricky, Tony, Chelsey, Pop, Nana, Hunter, Hayley, Brian and I. The only person who didn't get to help is Eric--he had to work--we will save the concrete floor for him!

Friday night fun.

Friday night church has a small Fall Fest. It was a nasty, cold and rainy day so I thought what a better way to spend a Friday night. Brian was in the bed, he worked 40 out of the last 48 hours, so this was even more of an excuse to get out of the house. We enjoyed great food, fellowship, games and candy!
