Cooper & Croix

I can't get over how cute these little guys are!! Donna, I had to hurry and post this for you...sorry it is just one, but I had to put it up! Your boys are so cute it makes me baby hungry again! (Good thing I have my older ones to remind me what they grow into :)

***I updated with some that I have finished, let me know what you think!***

Here are some more...

My bro & future SIL

Carly here is one of the pictures from last night, I'll post more when I get them done, but I wanted you to see one of them so you're not waiting so long! You guys are so photogenic it is not fair!! Let me know what you think. I haven't cropped them yet so your gold sword in the background won't show. The one over Aus's head will be in it though, but since we had the castle nazi breathing down my neck there wasn't much I could do about it, I kinda like it though!

Ash, Jeremey, & Elliette

Jeremey I probably spelled your name wrong huh? Sorry! Anyways, these guys are so awesome! They were troopers putting up with cold, rain, many different locations and don't forget my "didn't get any sleep blondiness"! (Really, someone cut your powerlines?) Ashley's known me long enough to know that I really am a blonde, but so much for impressing her mother in law! Oh well! Here are a few of my favs, I hope you like them Ash, it was kind of a sucky day for pictures but they turned out okay in spite.

Thankful...Really?

I usually don't mind doing laundry, yeah it never ends but I don't mind doing it...until fall, that is when normal laundry turns into hunting laundry. I hate hunting laundry! Dirty smelly clothes that are shoved in a pack for days after hiking all week, covered in stickers and thorns and sweat and animal blood (and spaghetti if you're Dylan). I dread opening the laundry room door when I know the pack has been emptied...the smell...ugh! So when listening to Pres. Monsons talk about enjoying the journey, (which totally felt like he was talking just for me), when he mentioned something about piles of laundry and that one day I would miss it, I couldn't help but think that Pres. Monson or his wife probably haven't done a lot of hunting laundry!

Hunting...

This guy was shot at 77? yards with a bow and as you can see it was a pretty good shot!
I really don't get the "let's take the kids picture with a cut off head" idea!

I have to say that this year has been crazy with hunting, and usually I get really frustrated with the whole institution and turn into the crazy anti-hunting hag, but I promised myself this year I would not let it bug me. I am tired of fighting about it and being angry, so although it has been another crazy hunting season, it really hasn't been that bad. I just now really don't "get" it...why is it fun to wake up @ 3:00 a.m. to go hike all day, come home at 10:00 at night and do the cycle over again for a week? Why is it fun to sleep on the mountain on one of the coldest nights so far with no sleeping bag or tent or anything, why is it fun to cut an animal up and carry it down the mountain? Honey, I love you more than anything, and I love that you love this, but I really think you're crazy!! Here are some of his antelope pics, these are the first antelope he got this year, he is presently in New Mexico getting another one. (another "why"?) I'm sure I will have more cut off head pictures to post as I haven't gotten Scotts Elk pictures and we still have the deer hunt...oh yeah!! **still not letting it bug me :)**

Jason, Krista, and Talan...(finally!)

Obviously this is an outtake, but I love it!! My brilliant sucker idea didn't turn out so brilliant!

Sorry Krista, I know you haven't even seen most of these yet, but I can't get ahold of you and I really wanted to put them up. So here they are a few of my favs...sorry it took so long! Talan is such a sweetie, we need to get our boys together to play!

Favorites of Addy

Here are some more of my favorites of Addy's pictures, I still can't get over how cute she is. The tutu and headband are so dang cute! (They are both from Tootsiebug.com, check it out, their stuff is awesome!!) We for sure need to get her and Ethan together to play! Thanks Jess and Joe and Happy Birthday Addy!!

Watch Out!!

I had to post this even though it is so blurry. This is one of the "two" outtakes and when I pulled it up on my computer I about fell off my chair! She was in the process of chucking the t at me and you can totally see her thinking "Quit giving me this thing!!" I'm sorry Addy but even when your mad me, you're still the cutest little thing ever!!
