Hunting Trip

Well as you all know it is this time of year that Troy and i pack everything up in some form of vehicle and head east to Stan and Beaver's for our annual deer hunting trip. This year we took the Bronco we all fit just fine even the dogs. We took a ferry over to Seattle and from there the trip was on. We made ot over the mountains just fine.




As we were in route we found out that there had been a small brush fire that ran up right to Stan and Beaver's front door man i would to have liked to see that. Saturday, October 11th was opening day Troy and i had decided that i would take the first outing to see if I could bag my deer. I had no luck in the morning even though i had a few chances at a small buck. The next day Troy took his shift when the Bronco's starter failed, this did not prove to be a good morning what so ever needless to say he did not have any luck either. .


On Monday i chose to go out back where i have been successfull many times before. I have a secret spot that at about 9:15 every year the deer seem to accumulate. i however had a successfull morning.

All in all we had a good trip even though we had some car issues but hey what is new I am a disaster when it comes to vehicle luck as everyone knows. Even though Troy did not get his deer this trip he has an Elk tag for a cow in Margret down by Mt St Helens, he is really excited about it and he should be able to get his elk this year. let's all cross our fingers i would really like to have some elk in our freezer this year.

Who Wants To Shoot?

Well I know what you all are thinking. I know that some of you have probably been wanting me to post for quite some time now. I tell ya time flys right by in the summer time. i get so caught up with everything else that I don't even realize that it has been so long since my last post. Well let see the list of things that have happened since June.

We made another camping trip up to the Hamma Hamma. This time we had an even better site than before it had a private path down to the river and right where our site was there was a swimming hole. This was nice because it was 90+ Degrees that weekend.




We got to enjoy our first 4th of July (or 3rd rather0 with Toby we spent the evening at our Friends house on the shores of Liberty Bay in Poulsbo. We stayed for the fireworks show and we were amazed that Toby fell asleep partway through it and even though it was really loud and the other kids were screaming and crying, he didn't even wake up.





If you are wondering what i did to his hair I put sunscreen on him and his hair stood straight up

Toby had his 1st birthday on August 13th, i threw him a huge B-day party at Aunt Paula's house. He fell asleep before cake and presents but hey when it is you party I guess you can do what you want to. After he woke from his long nap we all had cake and ice cream. Toby was a little reluctant to try his but it was fun anyway.







My mom and Joe took Toby to the fair for the first time, i went with them later that day. Toby seemed to enjoy all of the funny animals. He saw all kinds of strange things like Zebras and weird goats, oh and a cow that looked like our dog Otto only blond.








For those of you that are wondering, no he is still not walking yet but he climbs all over the place. His favorite thing to climb on is poor Scotch Dog. He has also started pointing at everything either he wants or just wants to talk about. He can't seem to get the words out but I think it is just adorable.

As far as what he is eating these days he is completely on solid foods with no bottle use at all. I think that this is a huge accomplishment as I have heard horror stories of trying to ween babies off of battles. The only thing I think that I will have a Problem with weening him off of is his Binky. This is only because he has just recently decided that he neeeeeeeds it. It used to be he didn't really like it, it was just one of his toys.

Well here is what you all have been waiting for, the pics

June Come and Gone Already.

Well again it has been a month since the last update. A lot has happened in the last month. To start it out at the beginning of the month Troy, Toby, and i went to Stan and Beaver's for a visit. We ventured to Cabela's in Cour De Lane Idaho Toby's first time out of state. Cabela's is the most confusing and frustrating store that I think that i have ever been in. It seem as though every time I turned around everyone had disappeared, it is one huge labyrinth of displays and merchandise. In all I think that we were there for about 3 hours.
After returning on that Sunday from Sprauge I had to pack up for a week long trip to Montana for Toby and I. My grandfather's wife Barbara had passed away over the weekend and Toby and I along with my mom and Joe made the two day trek to Harlowton Montana. It was the first road trip for Toby and he did really well. While in Montana he learned how to crawl really fast and Grandpa Joe taught him about zippers. Now instead of Toby just holding my purse he now opens it and takes out all of the money and credit cards. boy am I in trouble.

Since getting back from Montana Toby is trying out his legs he is just about to take his first steps he has tried to get away from the furniture but he falls on his first step. he has 4 more teeth now on top so that makes 6 all together.
Troy turned 31 last weekend which reminds me Happy Anniversary KaeLee and Sean.

Today is a scorcher it is 11:00 AM and it is already 83 degrees outside.

Well here are the pics.....
