November - December update

Blogger discretion is advised
****It is the hunting season and of course I have to post Parker's find. So if you are not fond of dead things just scroll down to the bottom of my post and fore go the hunting drama. But for grandpa's pleasure we have to post these beauties.


November - The hunt is over..

Parker and Bruce were able to spend a lot of time together this fall. From drivers ed. (which Parker has successfully completed)to hunting. They did a lot of male bonding.

December - We have had freezing temperatures. You would think that by now, after living here for 9 winters, we would be use to it. When the high for the day is -5 I don't think I'll ever adjust. At least it's pretty and white.


Saturday - Parker and I went Skiing for the first time this season. (Parker skied with his friends and I enjoyed a book and visiting with another mom in the Lodge). The high was 4 and that did not include the wind chill, just way too cold for me. Parker loved it and was able to try out his new snowboard he bought. Oh to be a teenager again, um' I'll pass.

We're enjoying the holiday season. We enjoyed our first batch of English toffee today and look forward to many more.

Venison roast washed down with Mountain Dew. Nothing finer.

Our elk kill picture has been on our fridge for over a year. Matt is very proud of this moment. He is fine with the whole world viewing it over and over. I think it's great that Parker is learning at such a young age how to hunt. He will be a good provider for his family with all of his animals. I love the picture of your house in the snow. It looks like a Hallmark card. Yeah-this weather is like a bad dream.
