Noah's Gun Hunting Success

Noah went out hunting at 4:15am on opening day, Saturday, November 17th, all by himself. He hunted in our woods behind our pond and text his Dad all day with updates. Later in the afternoon, he took a shot and laid down a beautiful 8-point buck! 

WAY TO GO NOAH!!

Happy 5th Birthday Tinsae!

Yesterday, November 11th, Tinsae celebrated his 5th birthday with a party at Grandma Lenz' house with all of his favorite people (Grandma Lenz, Aunt Kris & Uncle Steve, Uncle Steve & Magie, Casey, Erin, Maddy, Justin, Cassie, Jordan, Noah, Muluken, Mom and Dad). Of course, we were missing a few faces (Cody, Ally, MaKayla, Kendra, Dorinda, Grandma Rucks, Great-Grandma Beck and Aunt Kim), but he was taking what he could get! LOL!

We had a lasagna lunch, Spiderman ice cream cake, followed by opening of the presents! He was a VERY HAPPY boy!

I do have to say that it was a LOT more fun to watch him at his birthday party this year, compared to last year when he looked like he was scared-silly. He laughed and smiled this year, without any reassurance from mom and dad. We are SO THANKFUL that Tinsae is a part of our family!
