A FUN FILLED WEEK

This last week I was able to go see my sister Amy in Spokane. Dax did excellent on both flights he slept pretty much the whole way. We had such a great weekend. We did some shopping, went to a harvest farm and hung out till the late hours of the night. Amy is a night owl. The rest of the time we entertained our kids.

The boys played so well together it was fun to watch them entertain each other. We tried so hard to get a good picture of them all, but this is the best we got. Aidan tried so hard to keep them sitting up and smiling, he's so cute.



Here we are at the harvest farm. Dax is eating the pumpkin doughnuts they had there. They were to die for. We each had three! Yikes!




Dax's smile is so cute in this picture I thought. What a cute boy!



Jack and Dax loved the pumpkins and the hay they were sitting on.



We had such a great weekend. I love spending time with my family. Aidan and Jack are so fun, what cute good little boys. Thank you for letting us come visit, we loved it. Hopfully we will be able to do it again soon. Maybe Scott will be able to come next time. He wished he would of been able to be there. We love you. See you in December.

2008 DEER HUNT

Scott and his brother Chris went hunting this last weekend over in Rockland, Idaho. They left Friday day and came home Saturday night. They had a way good time. Scott really enjoys hunting with Chris. This is some of the terrain they hiked through. Pretty steep is you ask me.



Here is Chris with his bag of sandwiches that his wife made for him. What a lucky guy.


Here is the poor deer, or is it poor Scott for carrying the deer. This was a good sized deer and Scott proudly hauled this thing up a steep hill and then down to the truck. Way to go Scott! That's my husband for you. Hot and tough. I think he got his workout for the month.


Here is his deer hung up in the tree. We put it in our front yard and high enough so animals wouldn't get to it. On Monday on my way out the door to work, I look at the tree and the deer was not hanging there anymore. It kind of freaked me out so I got Scott and this is what we discovered.


Our two neighbors thought it would be hilarious to kidnap Scott's deer and replace it with this stuffed animal. I think it's a kangaroo but it worked. We suspected it was our neighbors so Scott thought it would be funny to have a cop who is in our ward show up with his lights flashing and take pictures and be professional about the whole thing. Well as soon as our neighbor saw the cop car he comes barreling out of his house down the road yelling at Scott "It's alright I took your deer!"

I have to give our neighbors credit, they did a really good job at dressing up this animal. The had a white shirt to represent the white bags wrapped around the meat, blue tape around the belly to represent the strap, and a pencil in between the legs for the stick. Well done Bret and Kent.

It was pretty hilarious, but I think in the end Scott got the last laugh.

GROWING UP!

GROWING UP!

We can't believe Dax is almost one. Time does fly when you're having fun! We've really enjoyed our little boy and are excited to continue to watch him grow. He thinks he's pretty big now, getting out of his bumbo, trying to walk, climbing stairs, and can you believe he has FOUR teeth. He sure has a lot of personality and alot of expressions which has been so fun to watch. We love you Dax!
