The Deer Hunt

Nate's other true love in life is hunting (I'm the other love, in case you didn't figure that out). I always hear the stories of how they hiked straight up a mountain and saw this huge buck, and so on, but finally I got some pictures from Nate's friend that went with him. Thanks Sean! Hope you all enjoy them as much as I did. Nate did get a 3 point -- I think that's right, you'll have to ask him. :) We also enjoyed some venison stew the other night, it was delicious.

The Halloween Party

This past weekend we had our halloween party. It turned out pretty good. We just did a small shindig this year, but I think all had fun. Here are some sweet pictures.

Baby Lena - 16 days old

So, here is my first tiny baby photo session. It was hard work, let me tell you. Little Lena didn't really want to sleep that much so we weren't able to try some of the poses I really wanted to, but we still got some cute shots. She is a beautiful baby! Way to go Charli & Aren!

6 Years Old

I can't believe Landon is 6 already (as of the 10th). He's getting so big. I look at him and he looks so grown up, although, thankfully, there are times I still see my baby boy in him too. Landon got to have his very first friend birthday party. It was a superhero party, so we decorated our own masks, played pin the shield on the Power Ranger and 'superhero, superhero, villain' (formerly known as duck, duck, goose). We also ate some cupcakes, and had lots of fun.



For our family party I made him an IronMan cake. It was my first (and last) attempt at fondant. It was far from enjoyable, but turned out pretty good....and then of course I screwed up the 'Happy Birthday'. Oh well, it's the thought that counts...I think. :)

The Silly Six Year Old

My Boys

I decided to brave a photoshoot outside with the boys. It was pretty funny. Sawyer is such a handful, he was more interested in climbing, searching, running -- anything other than sitting still. But I managed to get a few cute ones anyway. :)My handsome Landon.

The only way I could get Sawyer to stand still long enough to snap a photo was having him give Landon a kiss. I looove this picture. So sweet. I love my boys. Aren't they cute? hehe

I love this picture! Sawyer is hillarious. He thinks he's funny too. I snapped it quick when he made a break for me.
