Hunting

Tony went hunting over Thanksgiving weekend to try one last time to get his elk. He saw one on Saturday morning and shot it but had to track it til Sunday about noon. When he got it down, he was pleasantly surprised with a 7 x 7 elk. He is beautiful, just a little bigger than mine. Tony couldn't be happier. We had a great hunting season this year.

Happy Thanksgiving

We spent a quiet Thanksgiving at home with my family. It was really nice. Cody made this pilgrim hat at preschool and we all just loved it. I am so thankful for my two precious boys and my wonderful husband. We have been so blessed. I am grateful for my family and friends and all the help and love we get from them.

Cody's Birthday

Cody's birthday is here!!! He is now 4 and loving it. He even made his own cake for his birthday. Brandon helped too!!! It was so much fun.






Here is Cody blowing out the candles.

Tony's sister and her family came for the weekend from Nevada and we celebrated with gifts and cake.
Cody loved all his gifts. He can't wait to have another birthday.

Hunting

November started and Tony and I drew elk tags so our elk hunting season began. This was our first time hunting elk with a rifle. This was my first time hunting ever, Tony has hunted for many years. This is the elk that I shot ( all by myself) and I am so proud. He was a 6 x 6. I can't wait to do it again.

Halloween

We had a very busy Halloween this year. Cody had a Halloween party at preschool on Thursday. Cody was a transformer and Brandon was a dragon.We went to a Halloween carnival on Friday at my parent's church. The boys played games and won candy. Their favorite game was the fishing pond (of course, I didn't get pictures of that). Then on Saturday, we headed to Salt Lake to see my sister, Angie and her family. Boston's last football game was that day too, so we watched football and then costumes were put on to trick-or-treat. Here is the gang, Boston, Brooke, Cody and Brandon.Brandon really got into Halloween this year, he just loved trick-or treating.
