Duck And Goose Hunting

We went up to the cabin again hunting. This time they got some ducks and Devin and Cal both shot at the geese. One fell so they are not sure who got it. This is a funny story how we got the goose home. They couldn't find it in the weeds and then it jumped up right between Devin and Cal. Cal tried wringing the neck but that didn't work. ( He likes this goose so he is going to mount it) They brought it back to the truck and it jumped up on Devin he was holding it with his foot. Devin starts chasing it, I look and the goose is running side to side, Devin runs side to side and then Cal joins in running side to side. It was so funny they all had their arms spread out like the goose and was running like him. So they put some rebar in it's back and put it in the back of the truck. Cal puts waders, a case of water, and whatever he could find on top of this goose to make sure it was dead. We drove back to the cabin and we couldn't see Dustin. Cal calls him and he said when we were driving the goose popped his head out and was looking around and then jumped out of the truck. So Dustin stopped and had to chase it down. He put it in the dog kennel to bring it to the cabin. So they kill it and put it in a bag and put it in the freezer so we can bring it back to mount. A while later we hear crash, boom, the goose is trying to get out of the freezer. I told Cal I am going to have nightmares over this stupid goose. I was so glad when it finally died and we gave it to the taxidermist!

Balloon Wreath

Rochelle is making a balloon wreath for Addie's birthday. It wasn't quite done but I took a picture anyway. She might put the number one in the middle and change it for each year. Cute idea!!!

Addie Walking

Addie is learning how to walk. She will be a year old on November 1st. I can't believe how fast time goes, and how fast babies learn.

Conference Weekend Oct 1,2

We love to go to the cabin and watch conference. While we were watching the morning session on Saturday, Brittany, Devin, Dustin, and Cal were out duck hunting. No Brett this time he went deer hunting with some friends so Brittany came with us. They had a great time. Good weather and they got to shoot at a lot of ducks. I didn't get a picture of all the ducks, Dustin took them away to fast to clean them. I think they shot 15 this time. Me and Rochelle played with Addie and worked on our Halloween wreath. The messages we heard in conference this weekend were so good. I love to here what our Prophet has to say. That will be fun having two temples in Provo.

Duck Hunting at Flaming Gorge

On Sept. 23 and 24 the gang went duck hunting at Flaming Gorge. This year they got Wyoming and Utah stamps so they can hunt both sides of the lake and ponds. They had a lot of fun and shot a lot of ducks. I am glad that I'm not the one eating them.

Devin Has Shingles!

The weekend of Sept 24th, Devin went duck hunting at Flaming Gorge. When he came back to the cabin he showed me his rash and I thought he was just allergic to some weeds that he had been in. A couple of days later Devin came up to me and he said Mom I have shingles. I said WHAT! He told me that he looked it up on the internet. So I ran him over to the insta care and he was right. Good thing he wants to be a dermatologist.

Sept 17 Brittany's House

The weekend of Sept 17, Brittany and Brett moved into their new house. They were so excited!! They live in West Jordan out by Baccus Highway.

Selling Motor Home Sept. 21

We thought we would try selling the motor home. It was a hard decision but since we don't use it much we thought we would see what we could do. We put it on ksl and no luck. An rv place called us and they are trying to sell it. They have it for 90 days. After that we will have the motor home again. We are not trying very hard to sell it we'll just see what happens.

Addie Wearing Hair Clip

While we were at the cabin I got my hair clip out and was playing with Addie. I put it in her hair to see what she would look like.

Melanoma Scare

I have had a brown mole with black stuff in the middle for a long time. I haven't thought of getting it checked until about a month ago, something told me that I should get it looked at. Well Brittany was going to the dermatologist so I made my appt. the same time so we could ride together. The Dr. didn't like the way mine looked so he cut out a quarter size hole, and sent me home. A month later he called me back in and said that it didn't look good, they have to cut more. When I went in he said that my mole was turning into melanoma and they need to treat it like cancer. After surgery I have 23 stitches. I feel like I have dodged a bullet that I don't have melanoma. I am so grateful for all of my many blessings and all that my Heavenly Father does for me. I am so grateful to have the Holy Ghost to speak to me, sometimes he has to speak loud to me so that I will listen. The Dr. is not sure if he got it all we will see on my next appt. When he was done I said teasingly that I will wear my bra backwards because now it will fit better.

Halloween Wreath

Conference weekend Oct.1 and 2 we all made a Halloween wreath to hang on our front doors. This was a project that took longer than we thought. Luckily we cut out the material at home so all we had to do is tie it onto the wreath while watching conference. It takes 2 yards of each color. We used 4 colors. Cut into 1 inch strips by 6 inch. We tied them onto a wire wreath, added a bow and a bouncy spider. We got everything at JoAnne craft store even the letters.

Ward Party Sept. 10

We went to the ward party that they have each year in the park. We brought the train, water slide, and they had the candy cannon. Of coarse we had a great dinner. This year we had pulled pork sandwiches. All of our kids came to the party. It is so fun watching them go down the slide and see how muddy they get. Luckily this year no one got hurt.

Cal's Birthday

Cal is now 51!! He is not that excited. He hates birthdays. He is always easy to shop for because he picks out his own present a few months before his birthay comes. This year he wanted a gun. On Monday the 4th all of the kids came over and we had a bar-b-que. We got him a mint cake from Glause Pastry Shop. It is our new favorite cake, quite expensive but it's worth it. He had a great time being with the family.

UEA Weekend At The Cabin

While the guys went out fishing we took Addie to the Manila parade. I forgot my camera so I don't have pictures. All of us girls made a Thanksgiving craft which turned out really cute. We got all of the supplies at The Wood Connection.

Bingham Ball

Devin got asked to Bingham Ball. They rang the bell and there was a cute sign that said, It would be EGG-cellent if you went to Bingham Ball with me. Then there was plastic Easter eggs leading from the porch to the grass which was covered with eggs. Devin opened the eggs and they all had candy in them but one and it had the girls name on it.
Devin answered the girl by getting a bag of frozen peas and putting them in a bowl with the answer in it and his sign said, I would have told you in person, but I got so scared I peed on your porch. He did say YES!

Ashley's Shower Aug 29

We gave Ashley Pilcher Rowley a baby shower. She is having a little girl. We got this cute wreath that was made out of diapers. I took a picture in case we need to make another one.
