Reuben: The New Parrott

Introducing Reuben Luther Parrott!!!

The newest member of the Parrott clan is getting tons of attention.

(Maybe too much from the look of it.)

He is showing some favoritism towards his Daddy...

But he likes his Mommy just fine too.

Grace, on the other hand, is showing some signs of regression...

but maybe just in response to Reuben's keen fashion sense.

How could she possibly keep up?!

Pop that collar, BOY!

Can't go wrong in camo!

Grace is also enjoying getting to do things she previously did not get away with...

And she is always pleased to hold her brother...

Reuben, however, does not concur.

Stay tuned for more from the Parrott family...

82 degrees

I don't want to brag or anything, but it was sunny and in the low 80's here over the weekend. And I hear you guys are having a coolish combination of rain and snow? Huh? Was that right? More cold, wet weather for you? Just wondered.

Close Up

We'll call this one - "up close and personal" with Taylor Bob.

Killed the Blog.....

I just wanted to protest the recent accusations that I, Jim Parrott am the author of the New Years eve family planning post that killed the family blog. Although I do fully support the post and i laughed quite hardly, it was my wife who posted.
p.s. who else thinks that since my wife went on a 3 week Oregon vacation, its justifiable to go moose hunting and spend a couple dollars next year????

Parrott Family Planning

How does New Year's Eve work for everybody? Start the new year off with a bang...

uh, no pun intended.

Welcome Baby Reuben!!!

We're so glad you're here, baby Reub. We love you lots!

Water fairy or water elf..?

I fear the men in our family did not heed Miami Sound Machine's warning and the rhythm did indeed get them. Click below and see.

A few dead things we all need to see

Just a little moose, no big deal really. (Pardon the pun)
A little bit of the usual......a 15x12 tangled up with a perfect mainframe 4x4 with rear kickers. No big deal.

Per your request...

And here's one of my recent favorite pics...

Just for the record, I am proud of the men in our family being great providers and exquisite examples of all that is man... but we can only handle so many pictures of dead things.

Mighty Hunter

This goes against my better judgement to encourage another hunting story and accompanying photos of dead animals on our family blog, HOWEVER, Danny went hunting this weekend, and just a few minutes into his hunt, he got a big buck. And right after he shot the deer we called him on his cell phone to let him know he needed to come back to the house because Taylor was sick and we needed to take him to the doctor ASAP. So he sent his dad down to the hunting spot to take care of the deer while we rushed Tay Tay to the doctor (that seems to be the way to hunt - have someone clean up after you!). I don't know a lot about hunting and dead animals, but it seems to me that maybe the horns on Danny's dear have more little pointies that the one on Jims? Does that mean anything?

Now that we've posted pictures from hunts, can someone please for the love of all post some cute kiddie pictures? A nice picture of Grace A, perhaps? Hint, hint...

just to encourage all you avid hunters in the family, (yes christy, i mean you) if you just keep on trying then you too can have a bloody deer on your front porch! All you need is a good ol fashioned "never give up" attitude and some sticktoitofness.
Not to be beaten by the bucks I saw on my last adventure, i returned to the very same mountain with another friend to attempt once again to provide much meat for the family. My friend has not yet killed a sitka blacktail buck in Alaska so I tried my best to let him lead the way and I tried to put him in the best spots.
Anyway, as all good stories start....we sat down in a muskeg and began to blow the deer call. A light snow was blowing in our faces which meant that the bucks in front of us wouldn't smell us. We were doing everything right but nothing was happening. I was perhaps getting a wee-bit discouraged after about 15 minutes of nothing but snow when off to our left and behind us we heard something crunching in the bushes. Try as we might we couldn't see anything, so I sent Brian down that way hoping that he would be able to see a buck trying to sneak into our location.
Now, although Brian claims I did it on purpose, what happened next was pure chance and nothing more. As brian walked away to try to locate the source of the noise behind us, suddenly directly in front of where Brian had been sitting not 60 seconds before, stepped out a nice buck. I looked for Brian but he as already too far gone to even see it so I did what had to be done and shot it.

Now the funny part of this story is that Brian later confessed that as he walked away from me he had the funny thought in his head, "what if Jim shot me in the back and left me up here?" As this thought was going through his mind and he was rationalizing it away because of how nice I am......BOOM! I shot and he very nearly jumped out of his britches.
Well, it was just fate and I had no idea that by sending Brian away I would get his buck....but thats how funny stories go.
p.s. Grace was soooooooo excited that "daddy shot a huge buck and its on our porch!!!!!" She was ecstatic.
