my great white hunter

A couple things that have recently brought a little extra happiness into a certain young man's life...

Check out that rack!

I like to brag about my honey so for the record... this buck was shot with a bow, through thick trees, from 37 1/2 yards away, while standing on two 2x4's nailed in a tree 20 feet up. I guess he could provide food for the family in a crisis afterall.

Another reason for Ryan to be as giddy as a school boy...

Kirksville got a skate park!

(stay tuned for photos of the man himself rocking this very half pipe)

Wow, I had no idea. Ryan the hunter-Just didn't see that coming. It is comforting to know he can get you some meat. Good work Ryan!

It is like Christmas morning all over again!!!! Yay for Ryan! Carter loves the pictures of the deer and keeps telling me that he helped Ryan get it! No wonder he choose Kirksville he must have known about the skateparks plans to be built! :)

Hey Ryan can come rock the Burlington skate park any time he wants too...I'm pretty sure our crowd would be vastly impressed.

Oh my gosh! This post is hilarious because I know that these two things probably made Ryan the happiest person ever. Now all you need is oreos and milk and maybe some Lentil soup :) AND possibly have someone call from California and ask if Ryan could sign them up for Orkin!

WOW Melanie really nailed it on the head she must really know Ryan.... Hey Ryan did you hear the news???? Utah(Draper) is getting their very own "IN AND OUT BURGER" can you believe it?? It should be finished by this fall, right when Melanie is ready to leave the state, what are the odds?? Love you Mom
