one

Yesterday Casey's Aunt Beverly pointed out that my tree was turning red ONE leaf at a time. Neither of us had ever seen that before. I am not sure I would have noticed our one red leaf at the top of the tree, had Aunt Beverly not showed it to us. Funny how it is easy to over look the details in your own yard! Thanks Beverly for making us stop and find the beauty of one!

time

I have seen people lately post things like flashback Thursday, or something like that. I found these pictures on Casey's point and shoot when I was getting the pictures of the deer. Who are these LITTLE girls? This was my baby sisters wedding, I keep saying she "just got married" obviously time has snuck up on me because my girls are little in these shots and now they are big PLUS I have another one? A major flashback for me! Time flies when you are having....fun!?

deer

To say,Casey loves to hunt, is a understatement. He and his brothers go every year, some years they go on the muzzle-loader, rifle, elk hunt, deer, ducks....(I really don't even know but I am sure there are 10 more opportunities to hunt then I just mentioned.) Other years they are lucky to make one weekend. But I know that these are the times that Casey looks forward to most in the year. Time on the mountain with his Dad and brothers + nature are priceless in his book. They don't do the easy hunts either, some years Casey has hiked so hard he has lost his toenails. That's when you know they had fun! This deer was a work out for Casey, took 2 trips to track down, he was going for a "monster" deer and on the last day settled for this one, but for a nobody like me who doesn't understand points and span and other things I have heard them talk about, looks like a good one to me! Way to go, Case!
The last picture is a litle blurry of a bear they ran into along the way! So glad you are safe, and home!

kisses

Gentry is my best kisser yet. She is all around very loving and cuddly, but when you ask for a kiss. She puckers up, tilts her head back and closes her eyes. I find it adorable. I have been trying to get a picture of it but she doesn't do it quite the same when I am holding the camera. So here is the best one so far and I will try to capture it better still. Thanks for being you Genny bear, I love your kisses!

By the way I love how she is almost cross eyed in the last picture, could we love C'rella any more?!!

late night

Hayli has been asking for a late night since the summer time. I have always found away out if it because #1 it would require staying up late #2 I am not really a party mom. I tried a couple of friend birthday parties before and I am just not good at it. So obviously, Hayli kept asking so during fall break we decided to do it. I asked her to make a plan, so that they knew what they were to do. She presented me with her plan, and then she made it happen. I think they had a good time. The girls played board games, watched a movie ate Carmel popcorn, oreos and pringles. And then I painted all their nails. I am lucky Hayli has such good friends. (Plus she is turning out to be quite the party planner!)

And the best part is late night yesterday means early night tonight!!

cornbellys

Tuesday, Kate's preschool went on their annual field trip to Cornbellys. The girls had a blast! Gentry kept running off, all the while yelling "bye Mom!" Uh, who forgot to tell her we are suppose to keep together? Sooner than later I told Kate she was in charge of keeping Gentry safe. That was the best thing I could have done. Kate jumped on the chance to be large and in charge. She didn't allow Gentry even time to reconsider a slide before she was pushed to the end! Good thing Gen is a little bit dare devil or it might not have worked out so great. But Kate kept track of her for the most part and the both had fantastic smiles to prove they have fun together! Thanks Miss. Ginny for a fun day!

pajamas

What is it about new warm fuzzy pajamas? They make me want to squish her even more!
