She's here!

Yep that's right....another girl for the C Family!!! Sissy & D had thier baby today!! They did not find out beforehand what they were having, so we found out JKS arrived by a picture message from Mr. C's dad and she had the pink cap on.

Once we knew she had arrived we went to the hospital and visited for a short while.

Welcome to our family JK!

Foxtail Family Fun

Last Sunday we had C. Linz Photography come to our house and take family pictures and Lil Miss C's 1 year pictures. I have gotten her 3 month, 6 month and 9 month pictures all taken at JcPenny's, but i really wanted to have some pictures taken outside for her 1 year photos. Also last year we went to a studio for our family pictures and while they were good and we chose to only get one pose which made it extremely affordable, i just wanted to splurge this year, so i did and i could not be any more happy that i did. All of the shots were taken in the fields and creek behind and surrounding our house.  Foxtail Family Fun is what C.Linz Photography shared on her blog tonight, I can't wait to get all the photos on our memory stick and make my selections!  

Buck #2

Opening Day of riffle season, Mr. C is sitting in his stand on top of the hill. Me & Lil Miss are sleeping in and playing inside. Planning on running to town to run errands after her morning nap, I am just about ready to go and lil Miss C is still napping, next thing i know Mr. C is yelling to me at the bottom of the stairs... I got him babe, I got him, he's a big one!!!!

After we talk briefly, he goes to the neighbors to get some help to get the deer out of the woods, so he gets back and we get the tractor and head to get the deer.

Mr. C had watched some does and one buck all morning but did not have a good shot on the buck, and the does had beded down, so he decided that he would come in, grab some breakfast and head back out early afternoon. As he was walking down the hill, he jumped up 3 does and a buck, he immediately saw a tall, wide rack so he shot....

A 7 pointer!

After field dressing and roping it to the hoist on the tractor, it was hung in the barn. 

That afternoon was spent processing Buck #1 and the buck our friend got with his bow on Friday, we are waiting to process this deer until it has hung for a day.

Now he is just doe hunting until it is bow season again where he could potentially get one more buck.

Dear Gramps

I can not believe it has been a year since you have passed. Love you and miss you dearly, thinking of you in heaven today.

Monkeyin around on Halloween

Today we celebrated Lil Miss C's first halloween. Mr. C is working out of town, so he missed out on all the fun.

Walking to mom before heading to the sitter's for the day.

Feeding the doggies before heading out trick or treating.

Trying to get a good picture to send to dad on mom's phone and camera, we succeed with the phone, but not the camera.

Our first stop was at Great Grandma C's. Great Uncle M knew we were coming and picked up some gold fish for lil miss. It was a nice treat for her.

Next stop was at GAG's to see her and Grandma C. Lil miss with her bag of goodies from Grandma.

Giving Grandma some lovin's.

Lil miss made GAG feel so special beacuse she walked from Grandma to her.

We then headed to Great Grandma C's. This is one of my favorites from the evening.

We then ended the evening at Mama & Papa's, ate some chilli, went trick or treating in the subdivision and watched all the trick or treaters come to the door. Plus we got in some good cousin play time.

Kbug, Bbop, Lil Miss C, and 2 of Mr. C's cousins.

It was a wonderful halloween! Just could have been a little better if Mr. C would have been here to share it with us.

Hey lil miss,
Tidbits for this month:

You took your first steps!!! On October 19th we were playing in our living room and i noticed you standing longer by yourself, so i took a few steps back and you walked to me!!! Then we had to show Daddy when her got home, since then you have been taking more and more steps each time before you sit down and crawl.

We have started mixing your formula with milk, you get about half and half in your cup. You have been doing great with it.

You no longer drink anything from a bottle, mom had packed those up and away and you drink everything straight from a sippy cup.

Can't believe next month you will be one!!! It is amazing how quickly this year has gone by.

Mr. & Mrs. O

A co-worker of mine got married yesterday.  She had a small wedding at a local park and then a larger reception at a local school. I went to the reception for dinner and most of the evening.

The beautiful bride with 2 of her bridesmaids, both of whom happen to be coworkers as well.
