Thanksgiving Day

What a day....it has been great! I woke up at 4:30 am and and went Hunting by myself, as everyone is out of town....took my great little civic....Little Lee, as we call him and went out to the woods...set up my tree stand and waited all the cold out and then at 8:10 am there they were, a bunch of wild hogs.....just running around...I waited for a side shot and when it was all said and done, I fired off four shells from my Marlin 30-30 and hit two hogs each (two times).....what a great morning...I came home and the kids loved the pigs...Anna kept calling them deer, b/c the other day "Army Chuck" got a deer and we cleaned it and quartered it in my garage.

We decided to not do the traditional big Thanksgiving Dinner, instead Lori made some incredible Halibut, she is a superb chef...I say chef, not cook for a reason....incredible! Football was on, which is a tradition that I abide by! Anyway, we had a great day and plan on heading south for the rest of the weekend...

Cleaning up the yard

We all cleaned up the leaves on this lended out riding lawn mower, it was very nice to do leaves on this vs. raking! Kids had fun with Dad too!

Novemeber in Georgia

Well, we have had a great four day weekend, and to top it off, the weather is just absolutely great! I have to say these things are wonderful. Work was great today, and coming home to see Lori and the kids even better....here are two cute pictures of what the scene was upon arriving home and walking out to the back yard. Anna painting her master piece and Cole climbing on the swingset which Anna calls "The Park."

Indian Summer

Well, what can we say, this weather is awesome....we still have the air conditioner set, as this weather is still very warm. I can only imagine what June/July/August will be like. We are doing good, the kids are having fun and enjoying time here.


Anyway, I have to admit that I do enjoy the time that I get to spend with my wife and two children. Never before have I been able to spend so much time with them. It is great!

Growing up

Well, it is amazing, but I think Cole is ready to start to walk. I don't think he will actually be walking yet, but boy does he want to. Tonight, Lori and I noticed he is trying to get up on his hind legs without walking along anything.....unsuccessful as he may be, at least he is trying.....he is so cute. They both got haircuts yesterday and they are very cute.

Anna has learned to write A's and now mimics everything.....yesterday she told me she wanted a popsickle, well when I told her she could not have one until after dinner she looked at me and said, "What did I tell you, I said I wanted a popsickle!" I could not help but laugh, b/c that is what I always tell her.

Great family is what we have here.

I love my Wife

I just wanted to blog the fact that my wife is sooooo beautiful and I love he with all my heart. I am sooooo greatful to have such a wonderful lady who will stand next to me, by my side through thick and thin....I appreciate you sooo much Lori!
