Bella's Big Day!

We had a great day celebrating Bella's birthday. Believe it or not, she wanted to spend the day going hunting... She wanted to shoot something. So we got the guns and went to the shooting range and let her shoot the 22. Then...We took her to the archery range and surprised her with an early birthday present. She got a new bow. She LOVED it and couldn't wait to try it out. She does so well pulling it back and shooting it. What a fun gift for her.

Bella Turns Six!!!

We had a fun night with friends and family for Bella's birthday. She said that this was the best day ever! It made Brad and I feel good because we didn't think we did that much for her. Glad she had a good day and we are so grateful for the grownup girl she has become.

Halloween

Halloween is my favorite time of year...We get to dress up, get lots of candy, and act silly. However, none of us really did that this year (except for the girls dressing up.) We all had an awful cold and daddy hurt his back so tremendously bad that he had me seriously worried. But, all in all, Halloween was fun for the girls.

Ivy, Ivy, Ivy...

Peaceful sleeping Ivy???

Sure...after the mess she made.

Pumpkin Carving Tradition....Just not for us

Pumpkin carving is a tradition for most during the Halloween season. But...sadly not for us. Brad has only carved a pumpkin one other time in his life, and that was right after we got married. But, I thought we needed a little together time and the kids LOVED it.

Brad and Bella are hard at work on their pumkins. We carved and painted them.

My stud hubby carving a crazy spider web.

Yes, Ivy has all of the paintbrushes in her shirt pocket. She looks like one of Brad's painters.

What a mess!



Bella's finished project! Good Job Bud!

You're Welcome!

A Fun Trip!

Sorry folks, but this is not the Elk that Brad shot. He helped a good buddy get this beauty a few weeks ago. I am so proud of both of them.
