Seth's First Dove Shoot

Since before Jason and I were even married, he and all the men in our family have gone Dove Hunting together on the first Saturday in September. It is a family tradition that, even through two September babies, Jason has never missed. It has become sort of a "rite of passage" as all our young boys grow up, and this year Seth got to go for the first time. Just look at that proud grin!

Can you believe anyone could be that happy at 5:00 in the morning?

(Dad doesn't look quite as lively!)


Here they are after a long, fun day:

The kids are growing up so fast! Look at how tall KK is! Below are a couple of older pictures from previous years. There is KK's first hunt in 2002, and then another in 2003, with Sis giving him a "good luck" kiss.

That is so sweet! I remember the first time that T.L ever went hunting with Daddy! He was glowing!

Sounds like they had a great time!
