Catching up!

I'm not sure where to begin, since it has been awhile again! We had a great Thanksgiving with Jay's family and Jay and Hunter have been hunting a lot. Luckily I still have one child that likes to stay home with Mommy, but that won't last much longer!


Hunter was so dedicated to hunting this year. First season, he went with Dad Friday, Saturday and Sunday early in the morning. He stayed out all day on Fri and Sat, but by Sunday, he was ready to come home after an hour. I couldn't believe he stayed out there all day. Unfortunately we don't have any deer pictures this year as Daddy did not get one. He's still trying this weekend with his muzzleloader and of course bow hunting when he can.

Beau and I raked some leaves and he and Max played in them

Here's the best family photo I have from Thanksgiving. It was great seeing everyone!

This is Great Grandma Jolliff with four generations! Her son, 3 grandsons and 4 great-grandsons!

These four little guys are so precious to all of us! Thank you God for blessing us with our boys. Elizabeth - I hope you don't mind me stealing your photo!

Fall Fun!

Today we raked some leaves at Gigi's house.

And played a little too!

Now that we all feel better...

We can go hunting...

and tee-peeing...

and get "BUSTED" by Uncle Zeb!!!!

Don't you wish you had parents like us when you were growing up?

Teaching your children how to throw toilet paper in a tree?

Trick or Treat?

Happy Halloween! I have asked and bribed the boys to put their costumes on for our annual picture, but not tonight. Unfortunately, we have all been sick, so the boys weren't able to go trick-or-treating last night in Patoka. But they did receive candy bags from grandparents and aunts and uncles, so there is NO shortage on candy!

Beau is better today and Hunter is on the way to being back to his normal self. Now Jay is sick and I'm slightly better today. Thinking we had some sort of the flu - H1N1 - who knows?!?! Just glad that we are all on the mend.

Hope everyone else stays healthy!

Maybe I will get a picture of them together when they are both feeling better! For now, I created my own version for my Halloween picture:

Happy Birthday to Jay!!!!

Today is my husband's birthday. For his birthday I have decided to let him go bow hunting as much as he wants this weekend and I won't complain...I didn't even get upset with him for not going to my family cookout/hayride tonight! Now that's a pretty sweet birthday gift for a deer hunter, don't you think?

Seriously - there will be a few presents in the morning and the boys will enjoy that!

Happy Birthday My Love!

The Hunters

Beau and Hunter took turns going with Dad to the tree stand last Sunday.
