We wish you a Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all! Love- Adam, Nicole, Cutter & Bucker!

Thank you guys for the beautiful Christmas cards you have sent,

we had every intention of turning this into a Christmas card, but the

holidays really snuck up on me! Hope everyone is enjoying this time

of year!

We went tree hunting this year with Justin and Katie, and Adam and

Justin have had this on-going joke over the Ducks hat that Justin left

at our house a week or so before the Civil war.
 He's been sending Justin pictures of places his

hat has been in Adam's care so our tree had to include it.

There is also a hunting arrow down the middle of it...

Adam definitely put his touch on our decorating.

All of the Christmas decorating is hard on the old guys:)

These little bird ornaments drive poor old Bucker crazy!

I don't know how or why he has picked out the birds
(his favorite thing to chase in the yard!) but he has!

Our little tree

Even though I'm lacking in the cooking department,

I had to take a stab at Christmas sugar cookies!

They where actually better than they look :)

A few oldies...but goodies :)

Adam getting his ears pierced in preparation for Halloween... I finally finished a, single craft! Adam is the happy new owner of a pick-up! There is a bit of the silliness we've been up to lately! Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!

We have been having some fun doing some Christmas shopping this weekend and getting into the holiday spirit! Nate showed us this funny website, so here is a little holiday cheer!

Enter Here... for a scary good time!

We where able to host a small Halloween party this year and we had a blast! It's always awesome to see people walk in the door and check out their excellent costumes! From our good friend Scotty the sunflower to Santa Clause (AKA Logan) we had a little bit of everything! Adam really enjoyed preparing for his role as a Last of the Mohicans character. Friday night we had a strange date night that consisted of spray tanning, ear piercing, and hair piece shopping... all for Adam! Let's just say the nice ladies that checked us out each time where a little confussed. We did squeeze in some ice cream before heading to grab some fabric so Adam could complete his costume. He pretty much made the whole thing himself! His most worked on accessorie was hands down his musskett. He spent time carving and staining and actually making it fire caps! It was really impressive! He sure is crafty! Apparently Scotty is also because he perfected one stitch to make his sunny costume. It's amazing how much people commit to their costumes in our bunch, we always have great creativity walk through the door. Along with the outfitts we also have amazing food. Tristan brough over his crowd famous "deer balls" and the bowl was emptied quickly. As Walmart employee's Tristan and Alicia where hilarious. Oh and Chad with a grill, enough said! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and had a good time with us, and a big thanks for the treats that where brought to share (Jess you will be getting a totally empty crock back, that dip was so good!). Happy Halloween everyone!

The Ghost of Halloweens past...

As we gear up for another Halloween party this year it's so fun to look back on the good times we have had celebrating in the past! Cant wait to do this madness again! Thank you to everyone who has made it so fun!

Man's best friend

Just had to post a couple of pic's of our pup's! Nate was playing with a camera and got these. This is as close to glamour shot's as these boys are going to get. I thought they where pretty cute :)

Crashing into Septmenber part I

Fall is in the air and we have hardly had the time to notice the change in the season!Shortly after saying goodbye to Nate, Nat and Atticus I found myself with a broken down car. The poor old Honda was in need of a new alternator and conveniently Natalie's car was in the drive way to borrow during the repairs.... well it was until I was in a car accident! On the way to a friends baby shower a motorcyclist lost control of her bike:( and hit Natalie's car! Very very scary!Unfortunately the motorcyclist was injured, thank god not with life threatening injuries but it was a horrible day all the same. 3 days later I borrowed my Mom's car to go to work and was rear ended! A Suburban hit me from behind and pushed me into another SUV in front of me. Thankfully everyone in this accident avoided an ambulance ride. My luck in September was not starting out all that well, but other than working through insurance paperwork, some big time neck soreness, and totalled cars all is well. This month's advice is to NOT lend Nicole a car!! The roof project is finally complete which is a real weight off Adam's shoulders. We have a little concrete to pour and then outside projects are a thing of the past for a good 6 months. We also got to welcome Nate and Nat back from their tour of the US, they even brought us an ice cold souvenir. I was lucky enough to share Sushi with a couple of my favorite girls Jess and Kara and we got to take Tatum, my brother's son, to the Orchard. Even though I hate saying goodbye to our summer it was great doing something a little fall-ish with that little cutie!

Crashing into September!
