Boys first deer hunt!

This year was definitely a different sort of deer hunt.  This year Kole was away, I had two little babies, and all three of us got sick.  Other than the obvious crap we went through it was still a very fun weekend.

Most of us, opening morning.

Lovin the twislers and being the the bronco! (ps check out how cute those huntin boots are:) )

They love to drive!!!

Especially this little guy!

All the grandkids with grandma Boosty

It was such nice weather this year!

They had so much fun!..... aside from being tired and sick and WAY OFF schedule and keeping me up at night.  lol

Gettin all cleaned up!

The kids put on a tribute for their uncle Kole.  They had a flag ceremony and a picture they passed around and a few of us even got to say some funny stories about him.  Karter was even wearing his old scout uniform.  Kole is going to love all these pictures!

Hanging with the babies...

Gettin dirty

Oh my heck!!  Kleyton was having a blast with his uncle Kasey!!

Kollin is so close to walking on his own!

triple trouble!

This is how we roll!!

All tuckered out!

My little dare devil!!  He has been climbing on top of everything!!

Happy Huntin!!!

1 year old Pictures!!

About a month ago we did a few photo shoots for the babies 1st birthday invitations!

My sister Donna is amazing at photography and I think they all turned out SO STINKIN CUTE!!!

We did this picture especially for Kole! ;)



Apples, Apples everywhere!!

Another one of the FUN FALL things I wanted to do this year was go apple picking.  My sister had the same idea so one Saturday we packed up the cars and headed into Springdale.

It was a cool morning but got warm fast!  It was still nice enough weather to enjoy being outside.

When we got home we had TONS of apples.

Donna dried some...

And I made apple butter!...

I also made applesauce but there are no pictures. 

Check that off our list :)

Halloween Traditions

Ever since I was a little girl we have done this fun little Halloween gift giving tradition on and off.  I found the poem again last year in an old box, but because I was on bed rest I wasn't able to take it around to the neighbors.  So this year I made it a point to be one of my first October things to do!!

This is such a yummy Halloween snack mix and you can find the recipe HERE.

I've been eating it all night. hehehe

The poem is attached to the jars with ribbon. 

We took a couple of them out tonight and my nieces had so much fun door bell ditching.  We might have to do a couple tomorrow too :)

the poem says:

It's Halloween month

The Haunting's begun

And this little ghost

Wants to join in the fun!

His chains may rattle

He'll shriek at your door--

You've got 24 hours

Not a moment more

The spirit of giving

Will end his tricks

Just give out 3 treats

And give them out quick!

Copy this page

to accompany each treat

And before you know it

You'll have the spell beat

Just one last thing

You'll have to do

To keep the spooks

 from haunting you--

Hang this ghost guarding your window

or on your front door

And the spooks will

bother you, no more!

If there's a ghost guarding your home

we'll all know

You've a fun haunting spirit

Just watch the fun grow!

(Share the "Spirit---

Find a house in the neighborhood

without a Ghost.  If you hurry, everyone

can be "haunted" by Halloween!)

HAPPY HAUNTING!!!
