Labor Day







Wow, what a Labor Day! We had a great and easy-going BBQ with the family. Then on Monday we went 4-wheeling. My neice Tyler and I rode together at first and YES we were the only ones to ride through the big big big mud puddle. It was Tyler's idea!! Then there was a little accident -- my mom and dad tipped and fell. Everyone is okay, but my dad got 10 stitches on the top of his head (teaches us to wear helmets). What a day!

Happy 27th Birthday Brian!!!


Brian turned 27 on September 9th! His parents made him dinner on Monday - his favorite - roast and mashed potatoes and gravy. Then I took him to Tepanyaki's and to see "Traitor" on Tuesday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

New Neice


I am so delighted to post that I have a new neice. I am so excited about her. Congrats to Rich and Kim. Her name is Whitney Wood. She was born on September 4th around 12:30 pm. She was 7.1 lbs and 19 inches. She is absolutely beautiful!

Bow Hunting











Bow hunting lasted 4 weekends and we came home empty handed. Brian saw a lot of animals though. He just never got quite close enough. Brian and Weston even saw FRESH bear tracks while hunting on Saturday morning. Thanks to friends that hunted with us - Bridger, Weston and Christa. We had a great time!
