Visiting Daddy on his hunting trip

Every year Josh and his brother Wade plan a weekend hunting trip. Josh looks forward to this time every year. I am positive he likes the hunt more than Christmas or any other holiday. Wade usually brings his oldest son Trevin along with him but this year Calder was old enough to hunt so he was able to go along too. Wade's brother in-law also came this year.

We drove up with Grandma and Grandpa Lake on Saturday to visit. We got there before they got back from their morning hike so we just hung out for a while till they showed up. As you can see they were dead tired by the time they were done. Since it was Calders first year hunting he didn't really know what he was in for, he was exhausted after their long hike. Josh said they all had a lot fun. We can't wait till we can join them in a few years. :)

Ky and dad, the boys wanted to stay and hunt so bad.

We really miss dad during the hunt but know how much he loves it so we tough it out.

Jax and Grandma

Caught Jax picking his nose, he'll love me for this in a few years. :)

Jax and Ky got a new puppy for their birthdays from Grandma Lake. We got him a little early. He is the most mild mannered puppy I have seen, for now at least. We were going to name him Butch after my family dog we had while I was growing up. Jax wanted to call him Butchy so the day we got him we called him Butchy all day long. That night when Josh got home from work he said "we should have named him Baxter" after the dog on Anchorman, one of our favorite movies. I thought it was fitting so we asked Jax which name he wanted him to have and he decided he liked Baxter the best. So here he is, our new puppy Baxter, he's such a good pup. :)

He thinks he's a pretty tough kid.

Josh with his mom and dad..... and Baxter

Jax and Ky have 2 of the most active Grandmas I know. Here we are going for a hike with Grandma Lake, they know they can always count on her for an adventurous hike, she's always up for it

Mom and Ky on the trail, had to stop and feed Baxter some water out of our hands, he was searching pretty hard for some.

On our way back down the mountain to our camp we stumbled upon this swing someone set up smack in the middle of the mountain. It was so much fun. The pictures say it all, although I had a pretty hard time trying to snap a good one.

Ky, a little blurry.....like I said, it was pretty tough.

Mom, with Ky watching from below, he was getting a kick out of it

On the way back to camp the boys were getting stickers all over in their shoes, pants and shirts. Jax stopped Grandma to help him clean out his shoe.

This was pretty funny... On our way back Baxter just decided he was tired so he wondered over to a tree and laid down to take a little cat nap. :)
