Daddy the Deer Slayer

 After an unsuccessful hunt in MN, Daddy made up for it this weekend.  He shot a 5-point buck and a big doe!  He returned home with his deer (one of them is Uncle Matty's) and Mommy quickly ran past the poor deer to capture a photo of the boys.  Daddy can't wait for us to join him during the "hunt" when we get bigger.

 Interesting how our weather keeps changing.  We had a few beautiful days before our ice/snow episode (see deer photos above).  Cooper and I played outside in our clubhouse and went hunting for caterpillars.
 I remembered Grandma Sharon giving me this bug/fish net, so I kept my fuzzy friend away from Cooper's shoes.  My caterpillar friend went everywhere with me for a few hours.  I even took him on a ride on John.  See the net I am holding while riding above?  That was the caterpillar's first John Deere ride I am certain.
 Daycare Mama, Jenny, takes us to McDonald's almost weekly for lunch and to play.  Cooper can proudly spot a McDonald's from a mile away.  Crazy how kids get hooked on fast food so quickly (hence the super fun playland area!)  Cooper has attempted to crawl way up high in the tunnels at McDonald's but has never made it past the first turn.  He usually slips backwards with his socks on but this week, Jenny forgot to take off his shoes.  She soon heard a loud laughing and revving sound and when she looked up to see Cooper, he was "driving" in the simulator.  He stayed up there for a good twenty minutes, catching the attention of many McDonald's guests who thought he was hilarious.  That is our Cooper.
 Here are some random photos from the past two weeks.  The above picture is me trying on Mommy's lip glosses without her knowledge.  Daddy had a concerned face and Mommy had a mad face.  I had on my happy face because the lip gloss was flavored and it made me look so fancy.
 Apparently at night, my parents stop in to give me a kiss before they go to bed.  Mommy couldn't resist snapping a photo of me all curled up on top of my bedding, face cupped in my hands.  What an angel face.
 Mommy made a turkey a week ago since she realized there was a big one in our basement freezer.  Cooper and I attempted to break the wishbone but couldn't get it to snap (after 3 days of drying).  So Daddy and Mommy took over and Mommy won= she didn't have to do the dishes and Daddy still owes her a backrub. 
 The flu bug hit our house and it was a nasty one.  Cooper kicked off the flu season on a Thursday while at Jenny's house.  Two days later, Daddy had an upset stomach and that night I ended up throwing up.  Mommy capped it off on Monday when she started throwing up.  It was AWFUL!  The good news is that we all got sick prior to leaving for Georgia!  Here are a few pictures of me lounging while sick.  Surprisingly, I did take it easy and felt better within 48 hours.
 Great-Uncle Randy turned 50 so we went to his surprise party to celebrate with him.  I enjoyed using his blow-up walker which squeaked (and drove everyone nuts).  Randy likes to play the guitar and sing, so he had a little concert for us.  We requested, "Puff the Magic Dragon" and acted like true groupies.  Mommy is secretly hoping one of us boys will learn how to play the guitar and be musically talented.
We are leaving for Georgia today and are very excited to spend Thanksgiving with Uncle Ben, Auntie Erin, Kyra and Bennett.  We hear the weather is beautiful down south and we look forward to spending the holidays with the entire family. We are so blessed to have many wonderful family and friends in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving and Blessings to all of you!
