HUNTING

For the past two weekends we been out hunting for deer! No luck though, it was a bad year for hunters... to hot I guess! We saw one two point opening morning but Nate wanted something bigger so he didn't take the shot. Other than that all we saw were doe...

Here is one looking at us now!

The first weekend we went camping and had some friends come along. Micah had a tag and Dan and Stacie brought their horses in case we needed to haul anything out! We had a good time around the fire and camping out even though it was a little cold. The other non-campers meet us early Saturday morning to hunt for the day.

While we were out hiking around we decided to split up into two groups. Me and Nate went higher up while Micah, Dan and Stacie stayed lower... that way we could push the deer to each other. While we were separated they called us on the Rino or "walkie talkie" to tell us they had just seen a young bear. Me and Nate thought they were just trying to scare us so we didn't believe them at first but turns out it was true. We meet back up with them and the those who had a gun had them out and ready to fire. Who knows if there was a "mommy" around so we were being careful! It felt like we suddenly became the hunted rather than the hunters! So needless to say we didn't see any deer on this hike! Here we all are...

The next weekend we decided not to camp and only went out Saturday morning and afternoon. Again all we saw were doe. This time Nate's dad brought the horses. Kent and Danielle (Nate's dad and sister) rode in on the horses then later me and Danielle traded and I rode back out with Kent. It was great, the horses do all the work!

Here is me and Nate in our cool orange!!

















This is random, but can you see whats wrong with this picture?!

FALL IS MY FAVORITE

This fall has been so pretty! But I guess it probably is every year and it must just be that this year I'm actually paying attention! I've had my camera on me so I've snapped a few random pictures of the fall colors... I'm just sad they will be gone so soon!

GIRL FUN... BOY FUN

Last night me, Laura, Jenny, and Heidi had a girls night! Its been awhile sense I had one of those. We went to Gardner Village in SLC to watch A Witch Palooza A Music Dinner Show. Laura had gotten free tickets that Eric had won at work. It was well... ummm... interesting! And the food was... Ok, I guess! We did get to stand up and dance a little, which is never good in my case. I hate looking like an idiot! O well, it was still fun to have a girls night anyways.

So the reason we decided to have a girls night was because the boys were away on their own trip. Nate and his dad along with Eric went down south to do their 120 mile bike ride! Which in my mind is madness... but for some reason they seem to like this stuff! They ride 60 miles a day to make a round trip back to where they started. That means that once they start they have to finish! Last night on the phone Nate said they survived the first day... so we'll have to wait and see how today went.

At least it is a pretty ride through Zions, here is a picture of them on last years ride Last year it was Nate, his dad and brother Adam. This year Adam is gone on the mission and Eric was crazy enough to go with them. If I get any pictures of this year I'll have to post them later.

Guys are crazy, sometimes I just dont understand them! :)
