Happy 15th Anniversary to us!
We had a late night 4 wheeler drive all by ourselves

so grateful for this man who loves me well

grouse hunting season

We sold snow cones this summer to raise funds for the swim team.
Evelyn was a good helper.

Moose hunting season!

God's beautiful handiwork

waiting for the moose-that was the theme for hunting trips this year

Clint's first time joining the hunt

these three going out to find our meat supply

enjoying her snuggles before she outgrows them

I just want to squeeze her

Our first day of school: 5th, 3rd, and 1st grades

blowing raspberries

sitting by the fire

perfect weather for marshmallow roasting

all smiles

riding in her box

that precious face

Cara entertaining Evelyn while I teach the boys.
They all help me by rotating playing with her.

Preston wanted to avoid cutting his hair until moose season.
He made it!

all cleaned up

Evelyn hanging out with Clint while he does some Math

she likes sticking out her tongue

Our summer reads-I recommend them all!

Sugar barking at the moose in the yard-they are attracted by my luscious garden

my pretty girls

love them

beginning to harvest our carrots

This year we did not shoot a moose, but we were able to experience others' generosity, and our freezers were filled.  Chris and the boys hunted hard, hoping Preston could shoot his first moose, but maybe next year.

Evelyn at 7 months:
-is crawling, now things will get complicated
-has started to like baby food a little
-is waking at night again
-is teething
-is pulling up on things
-constantly distracts us with her cuteness
-had some kind of infection on her finger (notice the sock on her hand in some of the pics)
-her hair is changing color, she's going from brunette to blonde and its really filling in
