Corbin's Deer

The last weekend before bow season starts, the state holds a youth hunt. Brandy & Corbin both went. Corbin got this deer with his very first shot of his very first ever hunting trip. He also got a smaller buck.

Erika's Going Away Party

From above, it doesn't look like so many guests. There were over 75 people here.

This is our dear Erika.

Target Practice

Bow season starts in October, so it's time to start doing some target practice. This is where you'll find my guys pretty much every evening.

Kay's 40th Birthday

Farley & Margaret Ann fixed a roast beef birthday dinner for Kay, followed by lots of gifts and then ice cream cake.

Dwayne Returns From Afar

Dwayne returned safe & sound from his travels. He brought back chocolate from Germany, pakols (hats the boys are wearing) and scarves from Afghanistan and rocks from Iraq. He told us about the weather, landscape, food and not much else.

A New School Year

The boys got hit with homework pretty hard on their first week of school. Devin is now a sophomore.

Derrik is working on his homework, too. He is a SENIOR!

Derrik drove them to school on their first day. That was harder on me than their first day of kindergarten.
