Its been a LONG time coming

Its been quite a while since an update. This summer break has gone by way to fast. We started off the summer break in May, with a trip to Vegas. We stayed at the Luxor, then went to see Mystere. I loved the show and I was a bit surprised but I think Shay kinda liked it too! We were able to go to dinner with the Lovell's and see there darling new baby. The only thing bad about the trip is that I didn't get many pictures.

For Memorial weekend we went on a four wheeling ride. It was a wonderful day, we shoot guns and even had to fixed a flat.

Barb and Becky getting in a little practice.

The boys Shooting around.

Fixing the giant hole.

The Culprit.

We had a great weekend.

June was kind of a crazy month, we had a lot going on, but then it was July!

For the 4th we took our trailer up to what we like to call "Pig Camp". We have gone up there every weekend since. Its always nice and relaxing to get up on the mountain and out of the heat in town.

There was a lot of shooting bows at the pig target. This is where the PIG in "pig camp" comes from.

Nicole and Mary waiting for dinner.

Gracie and Cash loved giving each other kisses.

Barb and Stevie spent a lot of time catching butterflies.

And the fourwheelers are always a big hit.

Of course the boys (and Chy) have to cook their mutton!

and this year Nicole "did have a plate"

Its been a wonderful summer so far I'm just not quite ready to get back to school.

UPDATE

I know its been forever, and to prevent Steph’s threats of inappropriate comments, here’s an update...I haven’t stopped posting for lack of things going on its quite the opposite. We have both been pretty busy. I just finished my first semester of nursing school. I planned on spending two years of hating life, just trying to get through. So far I have honestly LOVED it! (Given it was only the first semester) but it’s been fun! I guess I never expected school to be fun! I have a lot of fun people in my class, and that helps a lot! Shays been staying busy with work, and he’s also taking classes online.

Need less to say he did a lot of hunting this fall. And we had a great time up the mountain.

Shays been wanting an eye patch for when he uses his spotting scope. After my many failed attempts at making one, I finally found a real one for him to use. It actually worked out pretty well, and was a great source of entertainment. Shay did get a deer this year as well as Chy, but of course I don't have any pictures of them. We had a great season up the mountain, and like always, we had wonderful food.

This year everyone really got into bottled venison. I do Love venison, but bottled is another story! It might taste great but the looks of it ruins it for me. I just cant seem to make my self try it. I did try to help them make it one night, but all I could stand to do was take the pictures.

We have had a busy fun past few months. Hopefully I can do better on keeping up with whats going on.

Stuck

Ok so the camping trip was great but here's why you don't camp on Sunday

Me & Shay were the last ones to leave and right as we were getting ready its started to poor! I honestly have never seen it rain that hard. Poor Shay was running around gettings things loaded up and tied down. He looked like he had jumped in a pool he was so wet. By the time we were un stuck he was through three pairs of pants and down to his pajamas. Luckly Danny and Steven came to the rescue with another truck! So we made it home but we learned why its not good to camp on sunday!

24th of July

We had so much fun!!! I don't even know where to start !
The first night up there we dutch ovened some mutton...

By the time the food was ready (after midnight) we were thrilled to eat...

The boys LOVED their mutton but as you can see Nicole was a bit disgusted by it!

After that we were more then ready for bed! Nicole said she didn't want to be "trailer trash" like the rest of us, so her and Chris slept out on their cotts.
