Big Buck Down

This past Saturday, November 16th, THIS happened...



 

 

That's right....Jason shot his first buck ever (a really nice 7 pointer) and Collin was along to experice it with his Dad!

 

 

 

 

Jason hasn't done a lot of hunting over the recent years, largely because he prefers to be at home with his family (Awww!!) but this year he was given the opportunity from a friend to hunt on his spot near Green Lake.  Soon after daylight broke, Jason and Collin saw this big guy walking across the field about 100 yards out.  One shot was all it took!  Jason was shaking from excitement and nerves, Collin was figeting because he wanted to go find it right away, and finally after an hour or so wait they trailed the deer and eventually found him.



 

Jay walked on cloud 9 the rest of the weekend!  He proudly showed off pics of his kill to anyone who would look!

 

 

 

Thank you Jason for providing our family with plenty of meat to last us a very long time.  But more importantly, thank you for sharing your passion of hunting and the outdoors with our sons.  Casey can't wait to join you and Collin on your hunts!













Happy 10th Birthday (11-13-13) Collin Jay

To our amazing son, Collin Jay.  Happy 10th Birthday, My Love!



Wow....a whole decade old!  It is so cliche but absolutely true...time has flown by!  Over the past 10 years, Collin, you have given so many people joy beyond measure.  You truly are a gift from God that we, as your parents, could not be more thankful for. 

We love how you love wholeheartedly, and it clearly shows in the way you are the best big brother Casey could have (not to mention how adored you are by your little "sisters" Piper & Bella).



 

You are a true friend to so many of your classmates, neighbors, and teammates.  You are a loving grandson, cousin, and nephew. 

And finally, you are simply the sweetest, kindest, funniest, cuddliest, most amazing son EVER!  Dad and I could not be more proud the young man you are becoming each day.

 

Keep up the hard work at school and on the football field.  I hope you know that Dad, Casey, and I as well as the rest of your family will always be there to cheer you on in whatever direction you take.

We love you to the ends of the world and back, Collin Jay!

Love,
Mom, Dad & Casey
