O Christmas Tree!

Ever year we pack up all the kids (and Hailey) and go chop down our tree. We had been exploring a few weeks earlier and had spotted a few good ones & marked it on the GPS. So, it didn't take long to find this one. It is the smallest tree I think we have had in 9 years, but it is BEAUTIFUL! Me and MaKayla wanted it flocked, so we bought this stuff at the hardware store and sprayed it all up! We left it out to dry overnight outside, but it fell over, and when we brought it in, PEEEUWWW! It stunk so bad!! UGH! But after a few days, we really didn't notice the smell anymore and it looks really pretty! We made a new ornament for Andy this year and hung it on the tree. All the kids and tree decorated

So Handsome! He smiles so much now!

Andy got blessed on Dec. 1st By his Grandpa Hawker. Here are some AWESOME pictures my SIL took of him. She does EXCELLENT work, if you would like to contact her or see more of her work go to her website on the pictures: All dressed up and SO Handsome!
Beautiful Big Blue Eyes (just like his mommy!)

My favorite, because this is the view I see while feeding him

San Francisco

We had the opportunity in Oct. to go to SF, Izzy had never been there and was so exctied to go to the "Full House" house. There was a park across the street that we took the kids to and played at.
We stayed at my brother Robbie's and SIL Ria's house. They were so much fun! After the park and some touristy driving around we went to Joe's Crab Shack... YUMMY! Emily was sick that day so she fell asleep on Brad's lap during dinner!

October 17, 09

Brad killed his first deer this year, he went hunting with Keith and Mike. Keith came over and helped us with the skinning, cutting and butchering! We have since enjoyed several Delicious meals (that I cooked :)) !

Oct. 2nd Andy's first Bath

Back in Oct. ( I know I am a little behind in blogging) Andy had his first bath, MaKayla and Izzy both got to help!

Brad's Projects

These are a few of the projects that Brad is working on at the aviation shop! If you can imagine these will look brand new when they are done with them, the bottom one will be done first, and he probably will get to fly it! He is amazing, I don't think there is anything he can't do!
