Halloween 2009

Well this year was pretty quiet for Ted and myself. Easton being in 8th grade is too big to trick-or-treat. He stayed home and handed out candy before going with this friends to a party that night. Holden went trick-or-treating with a group of friends so it was just Kinley that we took around. Now Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I remember as a kid thinking what a waste of time having to go around and get candy. It was too cold getting in and out of the car 100 times. In Ted's old age he isn't much better than I am about it. We took Kinley to grandma & grandpa Richard's house, grandma greats, a couple of aunt and uncles and three neighbors. Thanks to the Earls stocking her bucket with about 15 full size candy bars, she was done after that. She was ready to go home. So I belive by 7:00 p.m. she was changed out of her costume and in her pajamas for the night. Holden and I watched a scary movie (while I edited pictures)and Ted went and played cards. No big parties but a pretty relaxing Halloween. Here is a picture of Kinley in her SPIDER WITCH Costume. She had a great black wig, but after wearing it for five minutes, decided that it was too itchy. Holden left with his friends before I got a picture of him so I told him that he has to dress back up tonight so that I can get his pic.

Easton's First Deer

This year was the first year for Easton to hunt deer. He was so excited for the opening weekend and for deer camp. After the first weekend of not findng anything, they brought the trailer home and decided to try their luck of just going around the family property to see what they could find. After multiple days of spotting they never had a good shot at anything. The very last night of the hunt Ted and Easton decided to give it one final try. Easton ended up with this 3x3. He was pretty excited getting his first deer. Grandpa Richards even told him that his picture gets to go up on the "hunting" wall in his deer. Good job Easton. Next comes the Pheasant Hunt on Saturday. Holden also gets to hunt on this one. Ted took both of the boys up on Rigby Ranch yesterday and bought them each a couple of pheasants to practice with. They both did great. Holden had one flying right at him that he brought down and had to move out of the way before it hit him. All of the boys (Ted, Easton & Holden) love this time of year.
