HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Beware of the ghosties and ghoulies!

SNOW!

Tell me it isn't so! Summer wasn't here long enough -- didn't we only have a couple of months with the sunshine? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to stop whining and pull out the thermal underwear! (Must be time for a trip to Hawaii!)

DON'T HUNT ON SUNDAY!

I have always taught my boys that they should not hunt on Sunday - it is a day of rest for mankind and animals alike. So now that Sean is all grown up and does what he wants - he chose to hunt deer on Sunday. I wisely told him that he would not find a deer to shoot because it was Sunday.



Look what the devil sent!

It's a GIRL!

Stephanie and Craig found out today that "Number Four" child is a girl! Payt won't get his little brother, but he still will have his own bedroom (there are certain perks to being the only brother or sister in the family -- this I know!!). Now we can start submitting names for the little sweetie. How about Cynthia Precious Jensen???? Hmmmm, I think I like it!!! Or.....this is the name my grandpa always called me: Cindy Pindy. Grandpa was such a clever man... so is the vote for Cindy Pindy Jensen? My brothers called me LeeLee (speech impediments) so we could try for LeeLee Sweetie Jensen. Wow - I'm on a roll now. I had an attorney call me Cindifer - so we could see about Cindifer Lucy Jensen (I named my chickens Lucy - its a cool name - all six chickens have the same name). Anyway -- welcome to our family little Cynthia Precious Cindy Pindy LeeLee Sweetie Cindifer Lucy Jensen!!

Otter Creek State Park

Steve and I bought a new trailer and decided to head to Otter Creek for a "test drive" weekend with Jen and her two kids. Sean brought his trailer and camped next to us.


The weekend was partly cloudy, windy, and cold at nights -- and the trailer's heater worked great!


Sean was drowning a lot of worms on Saturday. And when it was dark he terrorized the crawdads.


Steverino the great fisherman -- Sean and I witnessed his fight against the Loch Ness Monster!


Carly and Carter on their first camping trip. Carter loved the campfire in the evenings. His job was to throw little sticks into the fire and roast marshmallows for the s'mores. Carly's job was to sleep while snuggled in her warm blanket.


And to top off our trip: Beautiful nights with a full moon reflecting on the sparkling water.
