Elk Hunting 2012

 This past weekend hunting season started with my family, I now don't have a husband on weekends until about December but I am used to it, and I enjoy getting out with him at times.  This weekend we went Elk Hunting and it was so fun, my Dad let us take his trailer so we could take Naylor and he slept in a tent with my Uncle Chad.  It got pretty cold at night and our drinks were frozen solid, but it was so nice during the day.  I absolutely loved it!  It was hard to stay in the trailer so much, I have never really stayed in the trailer camping, always out by the fire, cuz Naylor didn't like to be so bundled up.  But he eventually kinda got used to it.  He better get really used to it or it will be a very long winter.

Jake got a nice spike!

 Thank Heaven for Four-Wheeler's or that would be one heck of a pull back to camp.

 My Uncle Chad Venable walking back to the razor, I think this is a really great picture.

 A moose that Riley saw while hunting!  Grand total of animals seen, two Bull Moose, and alot of cow elk, to bad we didn't have a cow elk tag, we could have alot of meat for winter, a couple deer, and alot of squirrels and chipmunks.

 Grandpa and Tenlee riding the Quad!  She loves going for rides.

 Myles has a little quad that he rides with a little leash on it that Jake jogs behind him, (he is pretending in these next pictures, he usually wears a helmet when he drives it, that is the rules).  

 Showing how it works!

 Grandpa and Myles on the Quad.

 Riley and me, and some of Bubba's blankets, my arm wasn't long enough to get all three of us in the picture.

Faces of Naylor

 These are some pictures of Naylor just playing and hanging out with Momma or Daddy!  Most of them are recent but a couple are when he was a little younger.  We sure love this little boy and can't believe how fast he is growing.

Blessing and Temple

So I am a horrible blogger lately, I blame work and being a new momma.  But I am going to play catch up tonight.  On Sept 2, we had the opportunity to bless Naylor Riley Sabey.  It was so great, we had some of Riley's family come down from Canada and up from St. George and my family was there as well.  We felt very blessed to have everyone come that could come and very thankful for everyone.  I love this little boy so much and think he is just so handsome!!

 Naylor in the blanket that all his uncle's, male cousins (on the Canadian side) and daddy got blessed in this blanket.  It was made by his namesake Great-Great Grandma Lillian Naylor Sabey.  It was very special for him to be blessed in it.

 Little family picture outside the church on his blessing day!  

We also had the opportunity to go to the Brigham City Temple Open House as a family.  I love it, it is so beautiful inside and out.  There was alot of people there though so we had to wait awhile and we took some pictures while waiting.

Naylor's Newborns

My sister Jamie Lacefield took Naylor's newborn pictures and we absolutely love them, we made a birth announcement with them and I will post that as well. Thanks Jamie, we absolutely love them, and love this little boy.

Canadian Surprise

In August we decided before I had to go back to work that we would surprise Shannon, and both his grandma's with a visit to introduce Naylor to them that couldn't come down for the baby blessing.  It was so much fun and we successfully surprised them all.  We went up on a Saturday and Naylor did so good traveling it only took us a little longer to get there than normal.  Shannon and Brad were in Atlanta when we got there but were going to be back on Wednesday.

This is some of the boys working on pouring the footings for the new barn that they are building on the Cook farm.

 One of the days we went with Mandee, Jordan, and Sawyer and climbed Bear's Hump.  It was a fun hike and the view from the top is amazing.  Riley and Naylor with Waterton behind him.

 Our little family on top of Bear's Hump, it sure was windy up there.

 Riley and me at the lake in Waterton.

Hauling hay, I got to drive the tractor. :)

We had so much fun this week we were up there, we went boating, and to Taber, to Lethbridge, and the cabin.  Riley went on a horse ride with his parent's ward and I got to hang out at the cabin with Chanse and Kinzee.  We also went to the temple while we were there, and one of the best things was Jordan got a job while we were up there.  It was a pretty fun week, I love going up there.  Can't wait to go up again.

Naylor and Cousins

 Naylor has some cousins that were born very close to him, this is Jhi Jewels Nishikawa, she was born two weeks after Naylor to Shane and Haulee (my cousin).  She was due three weeks before Naylor, and was born 2.5 weeks after him.  They are going to grow up so close to each other.

This is Eli Walter Vowles, born to Dexter and Maren Vowles (Riley's cousin).  He is three weeks older than Naylor and was supposed to be 2.5 months older than him.  They will also be so very close to each other.  I think that they have the same build, Naylor is just a few pounds lighter, and almost just as long.

These handsome little boys are the boys of the Sabey family, all of Brad and Shannon's grandson's, they don't have any granddaughter's yet.  The oldest is Syler and he turns 5 in January, he belongs to Dahlin and Biz, then Sawyer and he turns 2 in April, he belongs to Jordan and Mandee (and will be getting a new sibiling in January).  The next one is Laiken and he turns 1 this month, he belongs to Dahlin and Biz.  All the Sabey boys together, and getting another cousin in January.  So excited!!!!  Don't they look cute!!

Naylor has another cousin picture to take on my side with the Venable grandkids so I will post that as soon as I get it, probably in a couple of weeks.
