October
- Logan had a bad crash on his dirt bike. Mr. Evel Knievel...aka Logan, landed a jump wrong, or very badly I might add. He was going pretty darn fast and flipped his bike. Logan had a mild concussion and broken collarbone. God definitely protected him from further harm!
- We had a beautiful fall, the leaves were spectacular!



November
- Mason hunted with his bow and got his first buck. The only deer we have in the freezer this year! Hopefully next year will be better. We had such a warm fall that the deer just didn't move much even during shotgun season.
