BIG 18

I love ya you big cheese ball!

Shay's Deer

Shay got a deer! I'm so excited! I was even more excited to think that his tag was filled and that there might be a break in all the hunting. However my dad was quick to remind me that now the coyotes start and that's unlimited. In fact I think that where he went this morning!
here are some pics:

I'm proud he got a deer but even more so that he took some pictures! He was all by himself so he called me to ask about the self timer on my camera (not once mentioning he had shot a deer). He figured it out and I'm so glad. I like to think that my blog and scrap book are a priority to him! ;) Way to go Shay!

P.S. If anyone wants some venison we have got plenty!

Dilly Beans!!

Shay Is always raving about "Dilly Beans". Hes been trying to find someone who knew how to make them , then finally decided he would just do it himself! So he found some recipes on the Internet, and one day after work he went to his parents house, and they made Dilly beans. I've never had them so I'll have to let ya know how it turns out!

Birthday-Bodies-& Vegas

I was finally able to drag Shay off the mountain for a weekend! There was a break in between the hunts and it just happened to fall on the weekend of my birthday..So i talked him into taking me to Vegas!!

We hooked up with some friends that lived down there, went to dinner, rode a roller coaster, and hung out on the strip. It was a blast! I would have more pics but everywhere I went I couldn't take a camera! I guess they don't care much about my blog! I tried to sneak it to the roller coaster but they caught me! (Kinda embarrassing when the man caught me sticking it in my bra!) Here are a few pic's:

Shay found found some beads on the strip

Of course we had to stop by the fountains for a min.

This was after the Bodies exhibit, no cameras allowed there either-*(shocking I know!)

I had been wanting to see the body exhibit FOREVER! So Shay was a good sport and went with me! It was CRAZY ! I had to keep reminding my self they were real bodies it was amazing the way they were preserved! Click*HERE* to see a video!

On our way home we stopped in St. George to meet my fam at the Rodeo! Its always fun to go see everyone. It turned out to be a pretty awesome birthday! Thanks Shay for everything I love ya!

Sunday Afternoons

I love Sunday! Its such a relaxing day. After church every Sunday we have dinner at Shay's grandma's house. Its so fun to see every one and the food is always delish. Then just about every Sunday my family plays dominoes! SO MUCH FUN!!! It gets pretty intense lots of yelling, laughing, and always lots of cheating! My Grandma cheats and not very discreetly either. So the new phrase is "don't pull a Connie." She has rubbed off on us all. The BEST part is that she denies it, and the even BETTER part is I caught it on camera!! We had so much fun yesterday! I love Sundays and I'm thankful our Families are so close we always have a good time together.

Getting ready to play

Taking a little peek

Just realized she got caught "Pulling a Connie"

This is kinda what the game looks like when your done

The winner for the night!

We're getting a kid!

"So we're getting a kid!"
This is what Shay casually says as we walked into his parents house last night! (They were a little mislead by his comment.)
My dad has some goats he keeps down at his horses to eat all the weeds down, well Shay decided he needed a few to clean up the corrals behind our house. So we went down to check them out ! I expected them to be a lot bigger then they are, they were so little, and kinda cute!

Heres part of the "HERD"

Chris with the twins

heres our KID

he was really a cuddly little thing once we caught him

it just took us a while to do it!

So If you hear my husband saying were getting a "KID" this is what he means!
