dads 2008 6 point

this is a picture that we got earlier this year of the 6 point that my dad shot today.

leafy the snowman

in an attemt to be a good dad i went outside with elijah to make our first snowman. (it also worked great for getting the leaves all cleaned up) he had no intrest in it at all, most of the time i spent pulling him away from the neighbors dog. as soon as we added the face to leafy the snowman ellie went into defense mode and ate a hole in it, and elijah he just stared. our neighbors were all pretty excited though, at least someone will enjoy leafy.

gun season

this is a pic of the deer i shot opening day of gun season. I spent about 9 hours sitting in a corn field before this guy showed up. I don't have any pics of him dead because half of his antlers fell off when we were taking him down from the tree and he looks pretty pathetic only half there. oh well i'm sure he'll still taste okay

hard workin' man

pretty in pink here we come!!

so anyone have any advice about having girls... 'cause im having one!!! i did find out that everything was ok with me during this appointment. the lady that did my ultrasound said that i would for sure be back in to have another ultrasound to check cervical length and also have some more tests. but the biggest part is that she looks to be a healthy baby girl. she is measuring right on with the due date which will remain march 16. i just cant believe its a girl, haha! yay! i think we will be putting pictures up but i will leave that up to chad so stay tuned.

disappointing morning and an update on little man

so this morning i woke up at 7:30, went into the kitchen, got my water ready to drink and looked at the stove... it said 8:34! for those of you who do not know, i was going to have an ultrasound today at 8:30. the problem was that i have an atomic clock for an alarm clock and it switched times last night without me knowing. so needless to say i do not know if i am having a boy or a girl and i dont know if im farther along than i am. im really sorry for those of you who were very excited to see what i was having! i will be updating as soon as i find out!!
an update on little man... he is doing really well today which is really good. his eye does not look any better, its swollen more today than yesterday. so his eye is about half open. he is my little trooper though, he acts as if nothing ever happened.
anyway, more from the kraker family later but for now i hope thats it, haha!!!

little man and stitches

elijah took a spill in the tub this morning, the result was 6 stitches. it's all good. he took it like a man. as you can see from the pre-stitches picture, I think he looks proud. the worst part was watching the doctor strap him down to the table, not fun
