Deer hunting 2009

I feel very blessed this hunting season. I have a husband that loves to hunt with me. I have a family that allows us to stay with them. My family is eager to watch the boys so we can go out. And I am grateful for 3 great deer for the freezer! Scott got a buck and a doe this year




And i got a buck-Yeah!



More pictures later!

September

Well, this month has been busy- and we are adjusting to a new normal. William is doing great- the boys love cuddling him and helping get diapers for him. Fall has arrived and we are enjoying cooler temps and Paul is very happy that Mom lets him wear long sleeve shirts everyday! Thanks to generous friends and family I have a lot of new and used clothes for the boys for winter, and I am half way through switching from the summer clothes to the winter stuff. This is a bigger job each year! Scott was able to take off work for about a week for "maternity/sick leave" so we have enjoyed extra time with him. Unfortunately, he has also had to take off some authentic sick time because this past week I came down with what appears to be Strep A and tonsillitis. But he has been a sweet heart and taken great care of me and the boys. I think we are all ready for Mom to be back on her feet though! :) Here are some pictures of the last month, enjoy!
Look who is 4 weeks old!

Playing at the the park....it is hard work climbing up the slide!


These boys love to swing high!


Marcus and a not so happy William :)


Our little cowboy and his brother

We were delighted to spend a couple of days at "Papa and Nana's" early September as we celebrated with them Elizabeth's high-school graduation. Although I did not get any pictures of the actual party, or all the wonderful friends that were there to help celebrate, I did capture a few precious shots of time with the family. Above you can see Phoebe enjoying holding her newest nephew.



Picking raspberries...yummy!

More picking....

Buddies!

We love you Uncle Silas!



Nana and Will

Reading with Micah

Elizabeth can make 4 hours of sleep after 2 busy days look a lot better than I can!


Snoozing with Auntie Esther


The Sunday morning breakfast crew

The week prior to Elizabeth's graduation we had the blessing of Charity spending the week with us. She was a HUGE help and we enjoyed her a lot. I love this picture of her cuddling Will.

Philip swinging


A favorite activity..... swinging from the tree branches....


....Even better when it takes a big jump to get there!

Umm, I think I need some help!


Trying to get a smile....


Not quite....

I'll give you a grin Mom!

My little boys :)



A friend designed a great gift for us when Will was born. A bag of toys/activities/treats and such individually wrapped and labeled. I could decide what to do today and the boys had the fun of a present to open for several days after the birth. The boys loved it! Thanks Em!

The new Sheriff in town....



...all cowboy gear a gift from the real Sheriff in town :)

Don't look grandma!


Hail! After the big hail storm last spring and another one early this month, I am beginning to think we are in a bad spot! Looks like the next project for the house is a new roof!

Summer pictures

Here are some pictures of this summer... we hope you enjoy them! The wonderful slip and slide
Can you tell we mowed the grass the same day? :)

My 2 cowboys- Paul loves dressing the part, even if it means a jacket when it is 90* out. :)

Sticking out your tongue is very helpful when getting the caps in right.

A fun garage sale find- a perfect boys tent!

At the funeral home in NY

The four Homan siblings

Philip loves his Nana!

Part of the NY crowd out on a walk- notice the jackets! It was so nice there!

Beach day! Rebecca and Aunt Dorie


She does more than take pictures..... she captures life-
Forever etching a smile on your heart
Capturing a sunset that takes your breath away
Catching the falling tear
Wow- I am so glad she loves taking pictures because I sure love looking at them!

Philip's first time at the ocean!


It was cold!

I sure missed Scott and the older boys!

Beautiful!

Finally the sun came out!

Phoebe trying her hand at a sand castle



What a fun birthday gift- one of the deputies gave Scott a bunch of fresh produce from his garden. I woke up on my birthday to a kitchen full of yummy veggies to put up!


More of the produce


My big helpers getting the veggies ready

Working hard!


These are big Mom!
