It's A Boy Thing!

Jay and Jayden spent a weekend hunting with some great friends! It was Jayden's first hunting trip and he loved it! He was pretty excited when his dad got a 4x4. Kyrsten and I are still trying to figure out how a deer can go 4 wheeling!

Summer

Summer is not only our favorite time of year, Summer is the newest addition to our family. She is now a 5 month old chewing and playful puppy. Unfortunately, she had an accident and broke her femur. What a challenge it has been to keep her from running and jumping. She broke it 4 weeks ago and has 8 more to go before she can play again! In the mean time, she amuses herself by picking anything out of the trash that she can - or stealing the toilet paper roll - and chewing it all to shreds. The kids just love her - and so do Jay & I!!!

Carving Pumpkins

Halloween is our favorite time of year! We grew all of our own pumpkins this year! We had lots to carve! Thank goodness for Jay and his power tools! Nothing like a Dewalt to cut the tops off! The kids had a lot of fun this year. Both of the pretty much did their pumpkins all on their own!
