This was from the other day, Ava was picking out a Christmas card (she loves picking out cards , I don't like finding where she got them to put them all back )

Great lookin younguns y'all!!!

I never miss an opportunity to show off my beautiful angel.

She's 3 1/2.

As you can tell, I am raising her right...a diehard GEORGIA BULLDOG fan!! She's holding a pumpkin she and I painted together.

I'm at work so I don't have any to put up right now. These are all GREAT. Kids are truely a gift. Love them. This season, remember the ones that don't have it so good. If you find an opportunity, help improve Christmas for one or more. I'll be delivering bikes to underprivileged children at two differnt schools next week. We have a program where I work that we contact all area schools and get names of struggling families. Through the school social workers we coordinate providing bikes and safety equipment to the children. This year we are doing 23 area schools and delivering just over 200 bikes. Over the last 6 years we have provided over 1200 bikes and helmets. I can not begin to describe to you what it means to these little children. There are so many kids out there that have to go through things most of us have never experienced or that time has faded from our memories. Don't forget them.

Great pic and I think we have a lot in common with this part of what you said

As for the Bulldogs, I have nothing against them but find myself rooting for the University of Buffalo now but have always been a Notre Dame fan (this year was not a happy one though ).

Isn't it great when you live in a place where you can have kids help raise animals like these? I never want to live in town.

What a great thread!
I know every picture I've seen has put a smile on my face.
I'll share a couple of mine that do the same. This first one is of my son Wesley hiking alone on the property when he was 8 years old. It makes me proud that he is courages enough to want to explore at his age... all by himself.



This next one is one of my all time favorites. It's of my 2 year old granddaughter Heyden. I was supposed to be watching her but she wondered off to another room. She is something else!
This is how I found her.

I think I've posted this before but it is of my 4 year old daughter and me with a deer. Wasn't too sure how she would handle it but she got right in and helped me take the tenderloins out. This makes me smile every time I see it.

I really love having the family life and doing things with the whole gang. The daughter with the fish named Rebekah has become my shadow over the last 6 months and really enjoys doing things with me. The brown haired little girl named Hannah just is so lovable, she will crawl into your lap and just melt. Our newest kid named Jacob is a really happy baby. Lots of Fun!!!

Great pics

Highbeam, I was a little nervous last year. Ava was just over 1 and a half and I let her see and pet the turkey I got in May of 06. She thought it was neat and wanted one of the feathers. This spring my dad shot a turkey and Ava was sitting in the back of the truck as my dad went to gut it. As soon as he cut it and she saw the blood she asked thought he was shaving the turkey. Once she realized what it was she didn't mind. Now when she sees a picture on my computer of a turkey she asks me if I "bleed him"?

Now she goes and helps us cut up deer and such. She likes watching the worms come out of the grinder

She has her lifetime hunting license already and this spring she will be in the blind come turkey season
