"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." — Gordon B. Hinckley

Ready, Aim, Fire!

One our way back into town from our adventure these big
boys were standing proud in the field,
nice tease!
We went out as a family to help Ward sight in his
gun for hunting season.
Both of the girls got a turn at
shooting the 22 at a target, which they both hit....
near the center!
After Ward sighted in the BIG gun, he pulled at the 223
for us to shot with at different targets.

There is something so powerful about lining up the cross hairs,
exhaling, and pulling the trigger!
Love that feeling!

There are the two golf balls I hit!

Raychel's turn....
After careful instruction Raychel hit her golf ball
on her first try.
HUGE confidence builder!!

And finally, Jolene's golf ball.
She took very careful aim, LOTS of time and then
asked loudly with her ear plugs in,
"ARE YOU READY?!"
FIRE, she too hit her golf ball on her first try.
Ward is proud, future little hunters!
We got to enjoy a beautiful cool fall evening and
watch the sunset before coming home.

Shooting is a very tiring!

Oh my.... your girls are growing up so fast - and they are beautiful. Love Jolene's hair shorter, so cute. Raychel will be going to college before you know it - she could be a model!! Great family photo - miss you guys. Where does the time go? Looks like Ward got his hunting partners after all!!

That is AWESOME SHOOTING! Rick and the boys went shooting their guns to get ready for hunting as well.
