was!

brody's new gun!

Ballard bought brody a sweet little .22 rifle for his first gun and boy does he love it! They shoot it every night that Ballard is home and on the weekend it sounds like a millitary post thank goodness we have no close neighbors! They have made lots of targets and he is now shooting like an old pro!

ballard's 2008 elk

Ballard work very hard to get us our elk this year and although he isn't the monster he wanted he is happy just the same! The elk had an early rut this year and proved to be a challenge to hunt but lucky for us Ballard loves a challenge!
