Maybe they'll sleep better??

I put this on the tv when it was time to clean up the living room. I was thinking that it would reduce the amount of fighting that comes with chores. This is what I saw when I came back 5 minutes later.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Sadie has started learning the violin. She is really excited about it. I would rather hear this choppy version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star than just about any song on the radio.

Kaden's First Deer

Kaden and I have been hunting deer together since he was little, but this year was different because he got to carry a gun. Wrestling practice got in the way during the week, but the first chance we got, we went hunting. On our second day of hunting, we saw a group of five does about 50 yards away. Kaden was nervous, but held steady on one doe as she bounced away and shot her through the lungs at 75 yards out. She ran for about 50 yards and fell over dead. He couldn't quit smiling. We went on and about 10 minutes later, I shot this little buck. Kaden thinks it is funny that I ruined the backstraps by shooting too high. We cleaned both deer and got home by about 9:30 am.

Getting Ready

Kaden is excited about football this year. He asked me to help him learn how to lift weights, so I'm trying my best. He runs home from the gym after we are done. I limp from the truck to the house. The other day, he was doing this shoulder press and at the end he made me laugh when he got excited and said, "50 pounds! That's as much as a sack of goat feed!" I laughed and thought to myself, what have I done to this kid that he relates his new life experiences back to GOATS!

BSADI

Molly and I got to be parents for the Youth Conference this year. It was a great experience and we learned a lot from our "kids". It wore us out, but it sure was fun. Molly did a great job with the youth. Mom and Dad watched our real kids while we were off in the hills.

Donahoo Reunion, 2010

We had our Wes & Kathy Donahoo reunion at Bear Lake this year. Everybody made it. More pics will be posted later, but this is our display of tie-dye shirts that we made. The flag is in the background because it was the 4th of July. It was a good time and great to see everybody again. (Gpa and Gma Donahoo were also there, but not for this picture)
