Deer Days
It seems that it's finally fall around here now that it's cooled off and the deer hunts have begun. This past weekend was Youth hunt weekend in Mississippi so Jason took his daughter Mary Cecil on her first hunt. He and I loaded up ourselves, plus Spencer, Caitlin, Brooklynn, Mary Cecil and Anna in the Tundra. We started out with my 2 dogs Annie and Gizmo, but before we even left town I changed my mind on taking 2 dogs along with 5 kids! So we headed to Carrollton to the deer camp where Jason's family owns around 140 acres to stay. All 5 kids scrunched in the back seat of Jason's truck for that hour long ride. It rained all night Friday night so the deer hunters waited until Saturday afternoon to go to the stands. Spencer went to his own stand, while Jason sat with Mary Cecil in one. Right off the bat MC shot one, but they never found it. Then she got another chance and shot another one. By that time Spencer had shot a 7 point buck. They did the whole drag 'em in, gut 'em and hang 'em thing. Then we had a weenie/marshamallow roast that night. Spencer got up Sunday and shot another 3 point buck coming back to the camp after not seeing anything for a few hours. Jason made him gut that one by himself. All in all, we all had a good time "roughing it" at the camp (which is a fully stocked mobile home, so we had satellite tv, cell phones, hot showers, nice beds, etc...) ;) Now, after seeing all the excitement and actually being part of the deer camp thing, I'm considering letting Jason teach me to shoot and maybe try for a deer of my own!!

My son
Spencer Cole Tice is 16 fixing to turn 17 on Nov. 5th. He's finally took a growth spurt and is a little taller than me now. He has been like the son my dad never had and helps out at the farm and with his cows, which dad treats like his pets or kids! HAHA
My daughter
Caitlin Ashley Dupwe is 7 and will turn 8 on Nov. 1st. She's a 2nd grader this year. Jason and I call her "Killdee" because she's got the skinniest legs and runs so fast! She has dark curly hair, which came from my Dad's sister and daughter I guess. They are the only ones in the family with hair like that!
Across The River
Jason K and I :) Here is the love of my life now. And he lives "across the river" in Indianola. I found him, well he actually found me, 9 months ago and it's been sweet bliss since. I know he looks unhappy in this photo. We were at his mother's and she was directing us on where to pose....need I say more?? Anyway, I love this man with all my heart.
The Parents
Honcho and Philly in their natural form! What else can I say that this photo doesn't say?? I have the craziest and funniest dad on earth. And Moma fusses and puts up with his crazy antics. But they have been the best parents a daughter could have. Oh man, will this be me and Jason 20 years from now??? LOL
Niece
Brooklynn Nicole Santucci is 8 and will turn 9 on Nov. 13th. All 3 of my parents grandchildren were born in November!! When she was smaller, I had her with me so much that folks thought she was my kid instead of Caitlin!! She's in 3rd grade this year.
Sisters
Angela and Amanda-the TWINS....almost 8 years my juniors. It has taken a lot of years of growing up so that we can be more "sisterly". I don't have enough space here to write all about them girls!!
Bro In Law
Jared Pieroni and Angela on their Wedding Day October 20, 2007. What a wedding!! I never had a brother growing up, so having Jared in the fam is a new experience! Although I think I work with Jared more than I actually get to be a sister-in-law to him! HA
