Amazing Addition

Dear Lil Miss,

You have been an amazing addition to mommy & daddy's life! You are our pride and joy! I love the way you make me smile and laugh too many times a day to count, I love your hugs and kisses, and all the stories that you tell us, really just everything about you is wonderful!

Happy 1st Birthday!!

Love you bunches,
Mommy

Hanging my ornament

Today we decorated for Christmas. Lil miss C was exicited to help. She would get the ornaments from Mr. C and would hang them on the tree, then only to try to take them off again.

Here she is hanging her Lil Miss C's First Christmas ornament that BG got her last year.

I was wondering how she would do with messing with the ornaments after we were done decorating, but after a few times on telling her no touch, she hasn't messed with them since. Keeping my fingers crossed this continues until we take the tree down after the New Year.

Next step is to get Mr. C to hang up the outside lights!

Thankful

I am thankful for so many things, just to list a few:
     a loving husband
     a healthy beautiful daughter
     family
     friends
     our jobs
     our home

Happy thanksgiving from the C Family!

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.
