This photo does not do it justice, but this bumble bee was HUGE!!!

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm ready for my children to be home from school, of course give me a month and I'll want them back in school. We need a break, a vacation. We need to head back to the beach where it is warm and the wet, warm, sand is oozing through my toes. I'm tired of these gloomy cool days where we dont see the sun for weeks at a time. I new it was suppose to rain in May, but goodnight. Xanax where are you!?

It's not all gloomy days around here. The sun has actually peeked it's head out this beautiful sunday morning. I have been up since 5:30 listening to church music and reading over the days R. S. lesson. I am so greatful for this wonderful gospel that is in my life. I hope everyone has a wonderful day this Sabbath. I love you all....I miss you dad.

Dinner at Chatters

Jim catches...oops... I mean kill's his first buck!

This past fall Jim took part in an annual ritual that most men, boys, and even some women, here in the beautiful state of Missouri, get all fired up for. They spend almost the entire year rummaging through fields, and forests looking for that perfect spot to set up their tree stand, where they spend and entire day still, hidden in stealth mode. You can always spot this brood on the streeet because they wear their camo dickies and ride around in camo trucks toting their camo dressd infants. Quite and interesting bunch if you ask me. Anyway, this last year Jim caught the bug. He and a couple of his friends headed out to Nevada and spent almost 4 weekends to catch their alotted doe and buck. Jim was able to hunt a very old buck. The head was too small to mount, but he salvaged the antlers for a trophy. Shane has taken them to school to show off, "very cool", he says. Jim loves the outdoors and you can almost always find him planning a hunting or fishing trip.
