It seems we have had a lot of firsts in the last couple weeks. Our lives are changing so much and I am looking forward to all the changes we have yet to come. We are finally getting into a routine since summer is over and I am hoping to have so much fun this fall.

Tony's first bear

Tony has started his archery season and has great success so far. He hit a bear with his bow and arrow on Sunday and by the look on his face you can see that he is so excited. The black bear is pretty good sized and has a unique white pattern on his chest. We are still deciding if we are getting a bear rug or a stuffed bear.

Here is a shot of the bear's paw.

This is Tony with his friends, Ryan and Rex, who helped him haul the bear back to camp. They are all pretty excited.

Tony is still archery hunting for deer and elk. Good luck Tony!!!

Bridget's first elk

Our friend, Bridget, has been successful this archery season. She hit her first elk and is so proud. I am happy for her.
Her husband, Rex and dad, Gary are so happy for her too. Good job Bridget.

First day of Preschool

Cody's first day of preschool. He is such a big boy. He was so excited to go to school. He loves school and I love the 2 hours of quite time (Brandon usually is taking a nap).
I let him pick out his own backpack and he is so proud of it.

Kids grow up to fast, I am trying to take in every moment that I can.
