Foosball!
Joshua, Moses and Micah are great buds and enjoyed playing foosball together with Charity!
Deer Hunting II
The successfull ladies!! :)
Lydia and I sat togther Satuday night, in the spot where Scott had gotten his big doe, hoping for a chance to fill our tags. We didn't have to wait long!!! As Lydia took her nice little nap, some deer came out giving us the perfect opportunity......I shot, but I will spare you the details, and just stop with assuring you, she (which turned out to be a he) wasn't goin' far!! Within 10 minutes, some more deer joined us, and Lydia made a great shot and her deer dropped almost instantly. We were very excited, despite the fact that they were much smaller then Scott and Seth's deer, after all, size isn't everything!
Deer Hunting!!!
This past week-end we were thrilled to have Dad's brother and part of his family visit us from New Mexico! They flew in Friday night and joined us for supper of Esther's yummy pizza!!! :) After supper, we enjoyed a wild game of "Catch Phrase", which had us all rolling with laughter!!
Saturday morning the boys were up early for their first excursion. They came back mid-morning, empty-handed but excited at the thought of the huge breakfast awaiting them!!! We enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship over breakfast, but soon everyone was ready for some more hunting!!
Aunt Judy decided not to join us in the hunting, but instead enjoyed a massage from Esther!!
We chased a whole bunch of deer out of a pasture, hoping to get Uncle Bernard a shot, but the deer managed to avoid getting in his sight. I nearly got run over by several deer, and because I didn't fire a shot, a rumor started that my trigger finger was paralyzed. :) Seth had a classic hunters moment, and missed a couple shots, but ended up bringing home a deer!!!

Paul and Silas III
"Okay, Paul, time to get out, you failed your drivers test!" (Silas)
"But, Uncle Silas, this is fun!" (Paul)
Paul and Silas!
Uncle Silas and Paul are good buddies and enjoy playing together most of the time!! Occasionally, Uncle Silas tires of sharing his toys, but almost always they cheerfully play together. When we took the picture, they were happily sharing Silas's birthday present, enjoying the bumping ride around the yard!! :)
We're Back!!
Hello Friends!!!
After several weeks of silence, we are back in business. We have experienced all manner of troubles these past weeks, but things are pretty much sorted out now!!! We are only able to post one pictures per post, so there will be lots of posts and lots of pictures!! :)
The picture above was taken at the end of November. In preparation for our hunting season, we set aside a afternoon to make sure the rifles were ready.

...............
Silas, with his favorite hat and car!
Thank-you everyone, for being so patient with me!!!! After working on the blog extensively with no results for several weeks, I decided to take a short break for the hunting season. The season is now over, and I am once again going to immerse myself in trying to root out Mr. Trouble.
I am strongly considering just starting over on a fresh slate- making a new blog for the family, but keeping this blog (which would not be updated) so that you can come back and look at past posts when you want to.
Does anyone have any thoughts on that idea?!?!? Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! Should I get a new blog and start posting again, or should I try some more to make this blog work?? Thank-you in advance for any imput you can give!!!

Blogging Troubles.......again!
Hello Friends,
My name is Trouble. I live in a computer, and to be more detailed, I live in a blogger-subdivision. I have been around for approximately 10 months, and even at such a young age, I have a full time job. This job is very complex and the benefits are lousy, but it is all I can do to keep afloat.
The object of my job is to terrorize the editor of this blog, and make things hard for her. She has found that I am very annoying and exasperating, but has come to realize that I am helping her develop the virtues of patience and self-control. There are days when I am sure she feels like throwing me and my home out the window; boy am I glad she is learning self-control!!!! :)
I have made my presence known in many different ways; either troubling her template or fouling up her links system, along with many other visits to her blogging world. Right now I am standing firmly in the way of her blogging pictures. Usually she gets rid of me pretty quickly, because she finds the problems I am causing and adjusts them. But this time, the problem is that my form of attack is still unidentified. Have you ever tried to solve a problem, but you had no clue what the problem actually was!?!?!? It is pretty tough, let me assure you!!!!
So, there is a very substantial reason why this blog has been so silent. It is all my fault. But, there is a silver lining in this dark cloud, and the silver part is that the problem I am causing CAN be fixed!!! It just needs a little more tinkering, and then there will once again be the regular flood of pictures and news.
So hold tight a little longer, hopefully it won't be too long until she finds the problem and I will take a break from bothering her.
Oh, and if any of you have any ideas what the problem I am causing could be, she sure needs all the help she can get!!!
May Your Blogging Days Be Happier Then Hers,
Mr. Trouble

They're Home!!!
The Happy Aunties and Justice, who apparently isn't ready for the picture yet!! :)
This past week-end Esther, Charity and Phoebe traveled down to Parsons to visit Andrew, Rebecca and Justice!!! We sure missed them!!! They had a wonderful time, and especially enjoyed playing with Justice!!!
While Esther visited some friends on Tuesday, Rebecca and Justice took the girls to the park- a outing they enjoyed very much!!!
We're glad you are home girls; the house was so empty without you!!!
"My thumb and my Aunt Phoebe are my favorite things!!"
"Smaller bites, please, Aunt Charity!!"

We're Done!!!!
Our butchering season is over for the year!!! No more hauling water and feed twice a day to the birds, no more feathers, no more guts.......well, you get the picture!!
We finally finished our chickens last week; thanks to the help of dear friends (thank-you SO much, Wissmanns!!) we did our last 120 birds!!! Once again Scott's plucker was indispensable, enabling us to get the birds plucked a whole lot faster then we could have by hand!!! Our butchering season always has rewards and challenges, but there is nothing like that delightful feeling of not having to butcher any more birds until spring!!!! :)
Ali's Visit!!!
Elizabeth and Aliisa!!!
The second to last week-end in October was extra special for our family as we welcomed Elizabeth's pen-pal and dear friend from Wisconsin!!!! Ali traveled down with Scott's Mom and spent 3 wonderful days with our family!!! Ali was a joy to have; serving where ever she could and fitting right in!!! The younger ones loved it when she would read to and play with them; Silas especially who called her Josiah until the day before she left!!! :)
Although it was cold, we had some tremendous games of football while she was here; in both of which she proved to be a invaluable player!! Ali's visit was short, which made for late nights talking!!!
Thank-you for coming Ali!!!! Come Again Soon!!!
Story time with Ali!!
Duets!!
(Sorry this post is so late!!)
