Hill + Snow + Sled = FUN

Today I went sledding.

Given the right equipment - a hill, snow, and a sled.

A boy can have fun in the winter.

Halloween

What do you dress up as for Halloween when you are 10?

Things like puppies and super heros are too young

Creativity is high, supplies are low.

What to do ?You come up with the brilliant idea to be a fisherman
Dad's old fishing hat, a flannel shirt, cargo pants, and water boots, an old rod from the garage and we were good to go!


Of course if you are Keegan you have a problem - you don't like chocolate. Since adults out in the country know they are not getting a lot of trick or treaters they buy the candy they want to eat themselves (which is hands down chocolate). The nice thing about trick or treating around our house is that our kids are one of the very few who hit the houses. Therefore when they hold their bags open it only takes 4-5 houses to fill them!!!

Football wrap up - Pumpkin Carving

Keegan's first football season is over. They finished the season 3 wins, 0 loses, and 1 tie. He was able to play many positions including quarterback and lineman. He ran for several yards and even made a touch down. The season was a cold, wet one. Most of the time they played in the rain.

Tonight we carved pumpkins.

Keegan gutted and carved his pumpkin all by
himself this year.

He already knew what face he was hoping for
and went right to work.

His is the fourth from the left.

Deer Hunting

Keegan went to his grandparent's house this weekend to help his dad set up deer stands. Keegan has taken to the idea of hunting, particularly bow hunting. He would be old enough this year to hunt with his father and use one of his dad's tags. If this will happens remains to be seen.

But a hunter he has become none the less.

Hopefully when he gets back he will have some pictures from his new camera to share.

The Best Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. It was the best birthday.
I went to the hunting shack with my friend Brady. We went grouse hunting with my dad. We spent the night. It was a lot of fun.

Then on Sunday afternoon my grandparents joined my family to help me celebrate.
The best part of my day was my presents. My parents gave me "The Dangerous Book For Boys" I have wanted it for over a year. I am so excited. I also received money from my one set of grandparents and my uncle Mark for a hunting bow I have been saving money for.

My other grandparents gave me a camera! One that can zoom in and out and has a flash. It has a lot of cool features and I couldn't wait for the battery to charge so I could try it out.

This was the best birthday. I am 10.

I am so excited and proud!
