A Successful Hunt!



Kyle was able to guide a good friend, Larry, on a hunt of a lifetime. Kyle and Larry, along with Larry's sons left home for over a week to find a great bull. They passed on a few elk early on in the hunt but September 17th was the lucky day when this beautiful,very symmetrical 7 by 7 walked out of the trees. It didn't take much convincing that this was the one. They had a great trip and they all had fun, I'm only sad that I had to stay behind and work. Congratulaions Larry on a great bull.

Softball Season


This year has been a little different in that Kyle is only involved in one league of softball, usually he's playing from April to October but because of his ancle injury (which by the way, needs surgery because the ligaments just aren't repairing themselves) he decided to take it easy.

50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE,

On August 22, Ma and Pa Paxman celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, We had nice little open house for them and with the help of Kyle's siblings, I was able to put together a published book about their life along with the written memories that each of the kids wrote. It was a lot of work but worth it in the end. Congratulation Mom and Dad!!

Summer Harvest

So we tried our luck at a garden this year with the little space that
we have. We got a ton of zucchini and cucumbers to feed the neighborhood. We also planted squash, green peppers, and tomatoes and they have done pretty well also. We have been able to eat plenty from our harvest and its been fun. The yellow weird looking cucumbers are called Boston pickling cucumbers and Kyle thinks that I'll be able to make some dill pickles. We will see :).
