Tree searching, and finding

At home we all helped Mom decorate "her" tree. There is another tree downstairs that has all the boxes of heirloom ornaments, I think next year I may need a bigger tree! (not pictured)
Sophia is so cute in her puffy coat, she loved running around in the sweet smells of Pine.
As usual, Levi will not stay looking at the Camera for more that a second, I don't even know what is distracting him cause it's just us and the trees. Go figure.
It is tradition to get our tree at a farm that gets their trees from Montana, they are so fresh that we can keep it up till well after Christmas if we water it well. Send me a comment if you would like to know where to go.

The Hunt 2008

Cody and Dan got a Northern Utah tag this year, so they headed north for their hunt.
When they finally got a good sight, Dan had Cody go, while Dan held back, but in Cody's rush to shoot he forgot to take the safety off. Dan thought that they might lose their chance so he took aim while Cody readied again. Cody got a shot in but Dan got the kill. Dan feels real bad and still calls it Cody's.
They went out the next weekend to a more easterly part of the state and had no views whatsoever. It was chalked up to good bonding time and a learning experience.

Hollows Eve

All the kids love to design their pumkins, they get more creative every year.







Levi really got into this Holloween this year so of course I did too. It was fun to let him kind of create and get excited about decorating the porch and yard.
