My Deer Hunt

So I had a spike tag (elk) and a deer tag this year. Craig and I took the trailer up to Indian peaks for the spike hunt. It was freezing and we totally got skunked. We didn't even see one thing. Hunting is NO FUN when you see NOTHING. When the deer hunt came around I was kind of over it. I told Craig we weren't taking Eliza and I wasn't going to pack the trailer up and go anywhere- so basically we were sticking around St George. I also told Craig I wasn't going to hike. (wow I sound like a serious Debbie downer)
Opening morning came and we headed out. After we passed 500 hunters and saw orange on every single peak- I was wondering why we even came. Wow- I can't believe he actually still took my grumpy rump. We got of the fourwheeler and he said we were just going to walk to the top of that little ridge. I said fine and we started walking. We walked for a total of 3 minutes when he says "get your gun ready" Which means he sees something. He says "the last two in the group are bucks. Shoot one." They are always so dang far away i can never tell what they are! But we have a deal- when craig says shoot- i shoot. So one turned and I shot it. I'm not going to tell you how it wasn't a kill shot (got him in the leg) and we had to track it forever! I was getting really frustrated until it finally popped up out of the bushes again and I finally got a shot that wasn't 300 yards away! Obviously i ended up having a blast. I love that Craig is so good at making sure I have a good time and love the things he loves! I can't believe I actually enjoy hunting and camping and all the things I have never done before. Thanks babe for being so good to me and knowing how to make me happy!!

Catching up quickly...

We have had a lot going on just like everybody else. It's hard to keep track of everything and also have the time to post about it. Here is my lame attempt to catch up. The pictures are way out of order but I'm sure you understand...

We have been playing with the leggs a lot. We try to keep the girls entertained by doing crafts- but it's mostly just a referee game. Notice the picture of both girls on time out- that is how we roll.

She had to try on kendall's Halloween costume. After Adam actually got it on her she was about in tears. We were just dying laughing seeing her in that wig.

We spent a week in beaver camping for the elk hunt. Eliza had a blast with cousins and catching lizards and horny toads.

Frosting halloween cookies.

We went up to Parowan with Mandi and Brynlie to visit Brynlie's Daddy's grave. We had a picnic up the canyon and saw the leaves. It was so fun.

Playing princess dress up is something we do regularly at our house.

The hair post.

This is actually an experiment- doing a post from my phone. We will see how it goes. I have to post some pictures I've taken on my phone of some of Eliza's crazy hair days. We say "Larry the hair fairy came" which is pretty much daily.
