He is now a provider for others

Nope still no computer for me, so I am stealing Wyatt's for a bit to get this post out.

Remember when I told you about Wyatt the mighty hunter here? Well this weekend was no different. It was the last weekend of hunting season which was a juvenile only hunt. He and Shane were up at darkthirty, unfortunately it also required me to get up for just a bit to help get him in all his stuff and make sure he had plenty of warm clothes on. Unfortunately, they returned empty handed later that morning, but Wyatt was determined and wanted to go back that afternoon. Daddy was happy to take him back even if it was raining. Shane is convinced it is the rain and this certain orange vest that brings them luck because it was also raining and he was wearing the same vest when he shot his first deer.

I got a picture a little while later and was very happy for him. I only had one question, what were they doing with it because it will not fit in our freezer. Between veggies from the garden and all the other deer in there it is PACKED. He called a friend and he said he would happily take it. So now he has provided for others.

Here is my proud little man with his 2nd buck!

Boo to you! and other stuff

To get the weekend started off right

and yes it was as good as it looks*

We were so glad when the rain cleared out and Saturday turned into a pretty day which meant all the trick or treating we could handle.

We went to a friend's house for their annual Halloween party. We also trick or treated in their neighborhood and let me tell ya I have never seen like the kids! OMG it was crazy. Oh and another thing-Since when did kids stop walking around the neighborhood getting candy? Have the kids become that lazy that it requires cars, trucks, golf carts, and trailers to haul them around? The traffic was crazy.

Our kids I guess were the part of the very few that were required to actually walk. It was cold but hey it was worth it for the loot


Our friends house was decorated so good, it was complete with a graveyard out front and lots and lots of treats.




How cute are they?

Thumbalina and Boba Fett

This guy was handing out candy-she was not scared one bit she was on a mission for candy and nothing was gonna stop her!

the big boys were not as thrilled with him;)

OMG I can hardly stand the cuteness


And on a totally unrelated note. Saturday also just happened to be the opening day of juvenile hunting season. Shane and Wyatt were up before the crack of dawn and off to the woods. They had been preparing for this for a couple weeks now. We took him out the other day to shoot his gun and make sure it was on target-which it was and so he knew that there would be no blaming of the gun this year if he shoots and misses like last year:)

Anyways so they get there and sit for barely an hour when the unlucky one stumbles into Wyatt's sight's. Shane said Wyatt was pretty nervous he says he was just excited. Either way I heard that there was alot of deep breaths taken before he laid the hammer down and this guy ran a little ways and as they sat there wondering if it was a good shot Wyatt saw him fall and it was official. Wyatt is now a provider for our family and is earning his keep!


Wyatt and one very proud daddy


he was SO proud of himself and told everyone about it. It was so cute hearing him talk about it.

I see many wonderful years and many wonderful memories made while sitting in the woods together. Shane has such a love of all things hunting and outdoors and is so glad that his son is also prepared to wake at godawful hours and go sit in the cold.
