Pheasant Hunting

My dad, Wynne, Cousin, Jimmy, Matt and my uncle, Barry, went Pheasant hunting. Along with Blaze and Mossy. Jacob, no he didn't go, but is sure ready to go!

He wanted to sit on Mossy. Thinks it's funy. It kinda worked as dad was holding her. She normally runs from Jacob.

Ready to help. "I carry one too, Daddy!"

Herzig's came to visit

Jacob and Kutter brushing their teeth. Yes, before bed everynight. They had such a great time! I was so nice to see them play together and so well at that. We miss them so much but know their move was for the best! We love you guyes!
They even hugged...........ahh

Jumping on the bed before night night time. Yes, we were monitoring it and weren't encouraging it.

Went to Glendive, MT to see Auntie Sandy

Jacob, my mom, my aunt Rene', my aunt Jeanie and I took a rode trip to see my aunt Sandy in Glendive, MT. Jacob slept the whole way there. We saw they "horsies". Cricket and CJ. Had a fun time.
Jeanie and Rene' had a room so we were able to swim too!

Vikings Game

Matt's work took us to the Viking vs North Carolina game in Sept. We had a blast. Hadn't been since 2001. The Vikes won too!

Goose Hunt

Jacob absolutely loved the geese. He was so excited to put his hunting boots on and see what Jimmy, my cousin, and daddy had shot today! It was so cute. He had to say hi to all 5 of the geese. Each of the birds had their limp head lift with a little boy saying hi to it about a cm away from its beak.

Five geese it was.

Daddy, "I hold the goose."

Hair cut from Daddy

So daddy decided to cut Jacob's hair last night instead of heading to "Scissors Edge". He had is head shaved twice there. Daddy bought a trimmer the other night and has come up with the idea of daddy maintaining it here. I came in the door and there was Matt and Jacob on the counter in the bathroom. Yes, there was hair everywhere. They cleaned the bathroom nicely though. :)
