Merry Christmas

Ahhh, what a relaxing day it is. We have had such a good time this holiday season. Last night we played games, watched a movie and enjoyed a nice hot fire (in the fireplace). We also decided to sleep in the living room, the kids thought it was great. Darrell and I did to until about 4:30am and decided these old bodies couldn't take sleeping on the sofa any longer.

happy birthday darrell

Yesterday was Darrell's birthday. Alysha decided that she wanted to bake and decorate a cake, I thought that was pretty sweet of her. She did a really good job, I might add. We also made him a special b-day dinner of grilled rib eye and all the trimmings, very yummy.

trevor's song

Trevor brought me this piece of paper the other day and said "I wrote a song, Mom". I was very impressed with the words that were given him. It proves again that God speaks to our children.

Drew shot his deer this morning about 7:40am. He had a nice 40 yard heart shot! He was very excited.

Here he is getting a taste of field dressing his deer.

work in progress - part 3

We thought the zip-line was going to get finished on Saturday, no such luck. They put a 60# weight on it to test it and was doing fine until the anchor started coming up out of the ground, not good. Safety first, so they will have to redo it :(the lineDrew cutting down a tree that was in the path of the lineHe did it!!Grandpa tightening the line
