Hunting

Levi
Sarah & Issac's buck

Levi's doe

We had a successful hunting season! Levi shot a nice mule buck and a bull elk outside of Bozeman (I wish I had pictures to post) and then had a tag for a mule doe here in Judith Gap. Steve shot a whitetail buck over by Missoula. Sarah got this mule buck up on the Forest Service ground above the ranch. And Kim shot a mule buck in the same area the next day. Quite a successful hunting season for the family!

Projects at Home

Bryan has been busy building an entertainment center for the living room. It's finally done, and turned out so nice! He really enjoys woodworking, and does awesome work!

We started working on building a deck off the back of the house at the beginning of November. Here are a few photos of the work in progress. Thanks to Bryan, Steve, Levi, and Neil, the project got finished over the Thanksgiving weekend, but somehow I missed taking a picture of the completed project. I'll post one as soon as we get outside again (when it warms up to above zero F and the winds calms down a little!)
It's really pretty redwood, and we even have a fancy railing on 45 degree corners. Thanks to everyone who helped!
