Halloween 2015
Tuesday we carved our pumpkins. The boys had their ideas ready and carved their pumpkins all by themselves. Evan opted for a white gord. 
This year West el let the staff and students wear costumes to school. Logan was a cowboy. Beck, Sara, Kelly and I dressed up at fish. We were One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
We invited all of the family over for dinner and trick-or-treating. We had three different soups and tones of great food. The kids all enjoyed trick-or-treating and came back to the house ready to start trading. It's always fun when we all get together.

Big Buck 2015
Reuben and I were kidless a couple of weekends ago. The boys went camping with Aaron and Dawn. So Reuben asked me if I would go hunting with him. It was a beautiful weekend and I decided it would be fun to see what he does when he goes hunting.
We started off the day going to brunch. Then we went to Cabelas to buy some camo for me. We headed to the farm around 3:30. The weather was amazing. The farm was beautiful with the leaves just starting to turn.
We changed our clothes and headed into the woods. When we got to the tree stand we prepared to climb the tree. Reuben went first. Then I started to climb the ladder sticks. Once I got to the top I could feel the tree swaying in the wind. I stood there with my arms around the tree not wanting to turn around. I finally settled into position and enjoyed watching the squirrels playing on the forest floor. 
About an hour and a half into the evening a small eight point buck appeared right before my eyes. He grazed for a few minutes and left. The sun began to set. The view was picturesque. We noticed two young bucks. They were across the fence line about 200 yards away. They were digging, eating and sparing. The sun finally dropped and the Bucks headed our way. They walked down a gully and back up the hill toward us. Once the two bucks came up the hill we noticed a third buck. He was a big boy. Reuben wasn't sure if he would be able to see through his peep in the low light. He drew back on his bow and dropped the pin.

Hunting season 2015
Saturday evening Reuben took Evan hunting for the first time this season. They bought another tree stand so that Evan could be up in the tree with Reuben. They also had to buy new camo because Evan had grown out of his camo from last year. Reuben borrowed uncle Chad's gun for Evan to use. This is Evan's second year as an apprentice. He gets one more year as an apprentice and then he'll have to get his own hunting license. They didn't see anything that night.

George Felsheim
Reuben's grandpa George passed away on ( ). So we went back to Wisconsin for his funeral. We stayed with aunt Mary and Dave Sweeny. We love staying with them. We love to stay up late and talk and laugh.
The visitation was on Friday, September 4, 2015. We got to visit with family and say our goodbyes to grandpa. We got to see David's uncle David who is Helen felsheim's brother. David was named after his uncle. Reuben was also given the name David for a middle name. We also gave Logan the middle name David. We took a picture of all the Davids. 
The funeral service was at secret heart Catholic Church in Dodge, Wisconsin on Saturday morning. There was a full mass then we walked up the hillside to the burial plot. Grandpa was laid next to grandma Helen. 
After the funeral we had lunch at the church. Then aunt Laura and Uncle Tom invited us over to visit with all the immediate family. We took some fun pictures with all the cousins. We were only missing Tommy Loken.
