Well this year my buck was just a 7 point and not nearly as big as last year, but is still pretty good. This year alot of guys got bucks like: Mr. Dorman got a 8 point, Rob Smith got a 8 point, Shaun Litz got a 6 point, Randy Smith got one but I'm not sure what it is, and either Rich or Ryan Smith got a 6 point as well. Neither Den or Denny got one, but Denny says that he is waiting for Devon to come home, which will be on Friday afternoon, so Saturday I'm sure they will be out. At least on Saturday it isn't supposed to rain (I hope).

Olivia and Will thought that it would be a good idea to ride their fourwheeler in the snow. They only got stuck four or five times, but they had fun. They were all excited about the snow.

If you happen to see this handsome young man on Saturday wish him a happy fourth birthday. Hard to believe he used to be that small.

While we were spotting the other night we saw this fox over on Homer's Hill, at least I know they are around when it comes time for trapping season again I can't wait. I might be able to borrow some traps from Denny's friend Sam again. But other than the three deer we saw it wasn't a very productive night for deer.

This is something that you don't see everyday, an airplane making two ovals in the sky and then starting back in the direction is stated from and keep going straight.

Dave and Carole aren't the only ones with turkeys in their field, Gram has some up on her hill at least 4, that seems to be the only ones we have been seeing. to get this close we have to leave our dog Bri home (usually she comes along with us she likes to run with the 4-wheeler) so she doesn't chase them off. We also saw some deer around the hill the one pictured is in Dan's corn over at Tom's, there was two of them but the other picture isn't as clear it was farther away, I think they were both legal as far as I could tell.

Here are some of Olivia's pictures. Her camera doesn't have a flash if I can find the ones she took of stuff outside they look a lot better, but she has a lot of fun taking the pictures. This one is just a trial to see if she even likes taking pictures, maybe next year we will get her a better one.

It is hard to belive that Olivia used to be this small only six years ago. On Saturday Olivia had her sixth birthday. Time sure does fly by doesn't it. She got everything she asked for: more school clothes, art supplies, new book bag w/lunchbox, hoola hoop, basket for her bike, and a digital camera. She has already taken at least 80 pictures and painted a bunch of pictues as well. So I think she had a pretty good day.

Today I saw something kinda odd. Dave was finishing mowing Gram's yard (that is not the odd part) and the next thing I see is Den on his new mower and was mowing what little was left with Dave. Then they stop and trade off, isn't it neat how grown men still at like little kids when it comes to things with a motor and most of the time four wheels.

For those who don't know tomorrow is a lunar eclipse, according to the news the best time to see it is around 5 a.m. or just before dawn. I hope to see it, I should I'm usually up with Denny packing his lunch and making sure he gets up on time for work.

Today was Olivia's first day of school. She was very excited, she couldn't wait for the bus to come and pick her up. She gets on the bus at 8 and should get home around 4:30. So far Will isn't missing her yet, he's enjoying playing with out Olivia telling him how to do something or to talk him into playing what she wants to play. I have to admit it is a little quieter around here, but I can't wait for her to come home so I can here about what she did all day.

Here are the six dwarfs: Olivia, Will, Mickayla, Shiane, Preston, and Travis.

We went to Idlewild on Saturday for Denny's work picnic. The kids had alot of fun, mainly because the Keisters were there too, so they had someone to hang out with. Denny thought that this chair would be great to take a break in.

Well the big day is coming up soon for Tiffanee and Shane and I know two kids who are ready to help make the day a great one. Will was so excited to try his tux on last night it fit perfectly, Olivia's dress is a perfect fit as well. They just look so cute.

Saturday was a very busy day for the guys. First was the pigs, then they did some tree trimming with Gary Bills, and then they did some mowing with Uncle Dave's tractor over at the barn and behind our trailer. In three of the pictures the tractor got stuck and Denny pulled him out with the plow truck. Later on Den built a fire out back and we had a cook out.
