EDDIE BOYS THANKSGIVING HUNT

Cam and I took the boys pheasant hunting the day after Thanksgiving. We all had a good time. Cam shot 2 and I shot 1. The best part of the hunt was the 15-20 minuite sneak the boys put on 2 sharptail grouse that were sitting in a tree (as seen in the last picture). Easton hit one, but the power of the old red ryder couldn't bring down the grouse. The boys love to go bird hunting!

Pesky Teeth

Those 2 pesky teeth final came through. That makes for a much happier baby!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The kids were not so into it this year or maybe it was Mom. This is not my favorite holiday. So Peyton was a Strawberry, Mom was Strawberry Shortcake, Easton was an army man, and Cannon was Dash some of the time. He was not diggin the costume or at least the mask. The kids weren't much into trick or treating either so we just went around the neighborhood got about 20 pieces and they were happy. I was happy we didn't have to trick or treat all night. I have a feeling those days will be coming in the next couple of years. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

MEET THE KLEPTO

Yep, that's him our little kleptomaniac. So Cannon has this little problem, he likes to swipe things that are not his. The last week that has been Derek's phone. Derek lost his phone while hunting and ever since he got this new one Cannon has decided that he wants it. One day the neighbor called and asked if I new that Cannon had Derek's phone, nope he swiped it. Then came the spanking, lecture, and the okay Dad. Next day Derek gave the phone to Peyton to play with. Cannon went and got one of her toys and exchanged it for the phone and headed down to the neighbors with it. Saturday the boys head to Lowes to do a project, oh wait here comes Grandma back in the house with Derek's phone. Cannon had stuck it in a sock and then shoved it in his pocket. Are you kidding me? What are we going to have to do to get it through his head?
So the latest.........
So this afternoon Cannon brings me this and says,"Mom will you open this for me?" I ask him where he got it and he says he doesn't know. I say WHERE DID YOU GET IT? From the store. Derek had taken him to the store earlier in the day. I called Derek and asked him if he had bought Cannon the sucker. Nope he swiped it. Derek said that Cannon wanted it but Derek had told him to put it back. Cannon said he was hiding it from Dad all day until he went to work. So I packed him up in the car along with all of his money that he has been saving and headed back to Autozone. We took it in and Cannon had to pay for it with his OWN money. Not my proudest Mother moment. So now I hope he understands me when I tell him that the next time he does that the Cops will come and get him. I kindly asked the guy behind the counter to tell him that too. Hopefully he learned his lesson and I don't have to find a Cop to come and visit our house :)
