Halloween Party at Grandma & Grandpa Scow's house!

Every year around Halloween time my Mom puts together and amazing Halloween party for the grand kids. I look forward to it every year. Its a fun day for the kids where they dress up in their Halloween costumes, play tons of games, win prizes, make crafts, decorate cookies, and watch scary movies. My (definitely not Kellen's) favorite part is when the witch comes and visits the kids! From the time we got to my Mom's house until the time we left was full of Halloween fun!

All of the grand kids with the witch. The witch was so much fun!

 

Kellen was so scared of the witch he had to sit on Grandma's lap.

 

Musical chair was one of the many fun games we played.

 

We also did a cake walk that was a lot of fun! 

 

This is one of the awesome cakes that my sister-in-law Maegan made for the cake walk. She put in a lot of time making cakes for the cake walk.

 

Karson was starting to sweat in his costume so I stripped him down to his diaper. I think both the boys had a little too much candy, but it was kind of hard to keep them away from it.

Day at the Zoo!

We took a trip to the zoo with Grandpa and Grandma Johnson, Mandy and her girls, and Cassie and her girls. Anytime my boys get to spend time with their grandma and grandpa and cousins they always have a good time! It was such a nice day and prefect weather to go to the zoo. I am glad we got to go!

It doesn't get any cutier than these two boys right here!

The gang! So fun!

I don't think they got the idea of what they were suppose to do...but still cute!

 

My little cheesier!

Happy 27th Birthday Trevor!

Happy Birthday to my amazing husband! He is such a good Dad to our two boys. Kellen tells me all the time that his Dad is his best friend. He is my best friend too and I couldn't ask for a better one!! Happy Birthday we love you!!!!!

Kellen's Rocket Ship....

As I was getting more diapers out for Karson, Kellen thought it would be fun to get in the diaper box and pretend it was his rocket ship. Karson wanted to get in Kellen's rocket ship too, but there wasn't enough room...he wasn't too happy about that. I am glad that they are both so easily entertained! One things for sure my boys make me smile everyday.

Here kitty, kitty!

Lately we have had two cats hanging out at our house. I don't mind, because my thought is if there is cats around that means there will be less mice. The cats act like they are hungry, so we have started feeding them. The boys love to play with them. Kellen has named them Boo and Gray.

 

Kellen brought a book outside so that we could read it to the cats. He is a silly little boy!

 

Karson loves to pick up the cats and carry them everywhere and when they get away from him he chases them down saying "here kitty, kitty." It is the cutest thing! I find if funny that Karson will pick up the cats, but Kellen won't. Kellen just tells Karson to go pick them up while he watches and laughs at Karson.

My muzzleloader deer hunt!

This year I drew out for the muzzle loader deer hunt. I enjoy going hunting, because I get to spend time with Trevor up in the mountains and its the ONLY time I can get Trevor to go for a hike with me in the mountains which is something I really loved to do. There is nothing better than standing at the top of a mountain looking at the beautiful mountains and lakes all around you, especially this time of year where all the leafes are changing color.

Tuesday Trevor and I took the boys over to Grandma and Grandpa Scow's house to spend the night and then we headed up to the cabin. We practiced shooting and went for a four wheel drive looking for deer until it got dark. The next morning we woke up at 5:30 a.m. and we were hiking up Candland mountain by 6:00 a.m. We hike all over that mountain. The whole day we heard elk bugling all around us. Trev had fun doing his cow calls. As we were heading back to the car we saw a two point, Trev ask me if I wanted to shoot it and I decided not to. When we were getting closer to the main road Trev spotted a buck he that he thought was a three point. It just stood there and staired at us so I decided to shoot it. When I shot it, it jumped and than tripped down the hill. Right after I shot my buck a nice four point came out looked and us and than walked away, we didn't even know it was there I was pretty mad at myself!!! Oh well maybe next time. We walked down to were I shot the deer and there was no blood so I was starting to think that I must have not hit it. We walked down the hill to go look for my deer Trev went one way and I went the other. As I was walking around a pine tree I saw antlers peaking out of the pine tree and sure enough there was my deer. It had crash right into the middle of a pine tree. Bullet right to the heart I was pretty excited! Than the work started....the part I do not like about hunting gutting the deer...yucky...Trev cut the deer in half right under the rib cage cause it was too heavy to drag down the mountain...he drug the top half and I literally drug the butt of that deer all the way to the car. I about died! I swear that butt weighed as much as I do! By the time we got to the car I had drug most of the hair off the deers butt. But I didn't care I was just glad I made it to the car alive!! It was a fun hunt and I am glad I got to go!

 

Me and my deer

 

I was so excited to show the boys my deer. They didn't think to much of it, they were having to much fun at Grandma's house! Trev says we look like a bunch of rednecks in this picture, because my deer is in the trunk of the car, but in our defense when a Ford Focus is the only vehicle you have that you can depend on you really don't have a choice! I do agree though its pretty funny!
