Jason has been busying hunting deer the total is one 4x4 buck and 2 does. He has also butchered the deers himself. Which has been a new part of the experience for him.

The kids have gotten into decorating the house for Christmas. Nolan liked playing with the large orament that we hung outside.

Peyton really got in decorating the Christmas tree. He brought the bathroom step out to make sure that he could reach as high as he could. That is where he decided to hang all of his oraments. We have seven oraments all right next to each other.  It wasn't bad for his first time  helping with the tree.

Right now Nolan enjoys putting items into a container. Here he is putting the oraments in and out of the holder.

 

We also put a little tree in Peyton's room.

Our First snow fall

 We received this snow a few weeks ago by now most of it is gone. The kids were so excited that I told them if they were good and eat allof your lunches then we would go outside. I haven't seen them eat so fast before that day.

 Nolan, did pretty good walking around in the snow. This was only the second time he fell. He did a face dive right into the snow. I brushed his face off and then he was ready to go run around with the older kids.

Our Garden is done..

I can't believe that it is nearly the end of October and we still had garden produce until this last week. Jason pulled the tomato plants today that was the only thing left in our garden.

Nolan enjoying one of his last tomatoes for this season. It was fun to watch Nolan in the garden this year if you couldn't find Nolan he was probably in the garden eating a green tomato. If he wasn't eating a tomato then it would be a green pepper or a raspberry in his hand. By the end of the garden season Nolan realized how much better red tomatoes tasted.

 

Peyton this garden season liked finding the red tomatoes he would look at the tomato on the plant and see if it matched the color of his red boots or his wagon. Peyton also loved eating green beans, peas, red and black raspberries out of the garden. He was a little helper with carrying tomatoes to the wagon and pulling weeds.

This is a look at our pantry. I was pretty busy canning this year. As Jason said I went a little crazy canning. It was fun trying new recipes like sundried pesto, apple cider and bbq sauce. Now all we have to do is enjoy this products before next year.

Look at my outfit!

So lately Peyton has been picking out either his shirt or pants but today he decided that he and Nolan needed to wear Peyton's church ties with sweat shirts and pants. They only wore the ties for a few hours and then took them off for the day.

Thanks Prins family for my new toy and clothes!

Peyton helping make Nolan's cake.

On Thursday Nolan had a little birthday party with my daycare kids. We enjoyed a Raspberry ice cream jelly roll cake and party favors. The kids practiced singing Happy birthday to Nolan several times that day. They were really excited about celebrating his birthday.

 Good cake,  Mom!

Trying to get every crumb.

On Thursday Grandma and Grandpa T. came up to celebrate Nolan's birthday. Since it was Homecoming week for Jason we celebrated Nolan's birthday on Saturday night.
