Shad's Deer Hunting Trip



I finally got my first deer. I didn't get the luxury of doing this when I was a kid so I have started going with my in-laws. Last year was my first attempt but because of the poor weather we walked away empty handed. This year the weather was beautiful. I shot this guy perfect and dropped him with one shot. I had him before 8am and we were off the mountain by noon. He was a pretty big two-point and was a heavy one to drag down the mountain.

Family Pictures


So on Monday we got our Family Picture taken. Our last one that we had done, Brooklyn was two and I was 3 months pregnant with Chandler. I think we were a little overdo. Last time I actually enjoyed taking pictures, we had a good time, but this time I have to admit, was an awful experience. My Dad once compared getting family pictures taken to getting a root canal. I just may have to agree. It was late, the lighting was getting bad, Chandler was crying almost the entire time, it was cold, we were arguing, and no one was having any fun. We only took 4 shots of the entire family, and thank our lucky stars we got this one. We took some other shots of the kids, and Shad and me that I will post later after Shad does some editing. Needless to say, some of our smiles were a little forced & we don't have one picture of Chandler smiling!
