Hunting Season
Well, Brian's dream of his boys becoming little "hunters" became a reality this deer season. They were finally old enough and showed interest in going hunting with him and he LOVED it. Hunter (his name indicative of his father's hopes even before he was born), was first. He killed his first deer early in the season. It was a very small doe, but it didn't matter. He and Brian just wanted him to get that first deer under his belt. Taylor followed close behind with a spike. We cooked and ate the meat, which Taylor loves. Below are pics of Taylor's kills. Hunter's deer is saved to another flash drive...I'll add them later. The squirrels seen below were killed by Taylor after deer season was over.

In the picture below, note how long Taylor's hair is. About 2 weeks after this picture was taken, I took him to get his hair cut. He went first (followed by me and Hunter). Well, after she was done with his hair, he cried and ran out of the shop. He cried outside the entire time that Hunter and I were getting our hair cuts and then all the way home. He was genuinely upset, or I would have worn his fanny out for whining. He had told me that he didn't want a haircut, and boy did he mean it. Now, it's grown back some and he's forgiven me.
1st Year Teaching
I don't really have any pics I can put up for this post...(the ones shown are the first day of school, before I knew whether or not I was the new fourth grade teacher or not. I must say that I have the perfect first year class. I teach 4th grade at Andalusia Elementary School and I'm sure I have the best class in the whole school. I loving teaching more than I ever thought I would. It is one of my passions...my awesome God first, my precious family (another BEST!), and my wonderful new career. I believe it is my calling from God. I knew that BEFORE I started teaching, but now it has been confirmed over and over in my heart. I love working with the children and believe I'm "called" to my little classroom family. They ARE like family to me...I call them my "kids" all the time. Then there are my "blood kids"...no comparison, of course:)
Here are my sweet boys on their first day of school, Aug. 11, 2008. They are the BEST and have already change so much since this picture was taken.
Football Season has Come and Gone...
Somehow I seem to have lost the hundreds of pictures I took during football season. I'll update once they are located.
Wow, it's been a while...
Sorry I haven't updated my blog more. I think I'm going to do a few to update since last August, which was my last post.
