My Mighty Hunter

Willy bought a Rifle Elk tag this year.

He was so excited to try the cow elk hunt.

At first he couldn't decide whether he wanted to
take the camper down to Anthro and camp
or just to drive down.

He finally decided to drive and
take the Jeep and four-wheeler.

This looks like a lot of elk for one person,
but only one is ours.


There were 7 guys who had tags.

4 out of 7 got their elk so far.

I am glad Willy got his,
so he can stick around for the rest of December.


The kids had fun helping Dad skin and take
care of the elk.

This is kind of gross,
so I hope it doesn't make anyone sick.


What mighty hunters!

Now that the fun is over the work begins.
We have to cut and package all that meat.

Happy Hunting

presents, presents, presents

I love getting things in the mail,
even though these weren't for me
it was still fun to open them.

Now I get to wrap them back up
so they can be opened by the true recipients.

We are not quite done with our
Christmas shopping
but we are getting close.

Ornaments for Christmas

I like making a new ornament each year for our
Christmas tree.

This idea came from a few other ladies blogs
and it turned out really cute.

All I have left to do is put a hook on the tops
so they can hang in the tree.

I made one for us and the others
are gifts for family.

I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for
CHRISTMAS
I know I am.

ice cycles, snowballs, mittens, & hot chocolate

Sadie has been soooooo excited for the snow,

so the other day when we got a little

they just had to go outside and play in it
(on the trampoline...of all places)

and I couldn't miss this photo opportunity
(I can't help myself...they are just so cute)

my snow angels

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

I hope we have snow for Christmas.

Baby Shoes

These cute little shoes are for Darby.

I can't see paying $5 for church shoes
that she only wears once a week,
and that won't last her very long anyway.

They look really cute,
but they don't stay on her very well.

I have made lots of adjustments
since I first made them.
(they used to be tie on's
but they wouldn't stay tied,
so I cut the ties off
and put on some elastics with ribbon)

Live and learn,
and then resew and resew and resew and resew...
ha, ha, ha...
