Happy 4th Birthday Carter!









Carter will turn 4 on December 11th. So incredibly hard to believe. We had a surprise birthday party for him on Sunday the 7th. He asked for his party to be a surprise. We pulled it off because he was so genuinely surprised. After things calmed down he said "thanks for the party mom". That made it all worth it. When we got home all I wanted to do was clean because it had been a busy weekend but I couldn't resist playing with him when he asked. He had a really great day. Thanks to all of you that came to make it so special!

Mama's Buck




I shot this buck Saturday morning. This was my first morning out this season. Clark and I were in the blind maybe an hour when 3 doe and this buck walked out. Clark had seen this buck several times while out hunting but he is shopping for something bigger. I am a busy mama so I decided I thought he was nice enough for me. He is a real even 8-point. It was so exciting!

The cousins


This picture was taken Thanksgiving day. Reese, Carter and Luke were sitting on Reese's spiderman couch. This is a rare photo of them all sitting together without pinching or pulling hair.

Jake's First Buck








My nephew Jake shot his first buck during the youth shotgun season. Clark took him out the last evening and he was lucky enough to get a nice 8-point. A great first buck! Congratulations Jake!
