Fun Times

What a "Great" weekend this has been. It started on Friday, there wasn't enough patients scheduled at work for all 3 of us so I stayed home. Brittny and Lindsay are staying with me this weekend while everybody else goes to the deer lease. I picked up the girls after school and we headed to Joshua to watch Jordan (#24) play basketball. Wow, it's a long way there!!! He plays for Mineral Wells High School, the Ram's. It was such a good close game. We won 47-41. In the last 2 minutes of the game Joshua was returning with a vengeance. Jordan was fouled a couple of times there close to the end of the game and made all 0f his free throws helping win the game. Good playing Jordan!!!

The girls and I got up Saturday and headed to the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine to see the Christmas Ice Exhibit. It was so cool, well actually it was VERY cold! They give you big heavy coats to wear over your own coats because it is about 9 degrees in there, guess they don't want all that ice from melting. They girls absolutely loved it.

nice 9 point buck!!

Shane and Braxton went to the deer lease with us this weekend. I went with Shane and Braxton went with his Papa on Saturday morningto the deer stands. Shane and I only saw a very young 6 point. Think he's the son off "big 6" that Shane shot last year. He had height but not many points, doesn't really matter when mainly we're shooting for meat in the deep freeze anyway. About 9 am we heard a shot and called William on the walkie talkie, he said he had shot at a nice deer. After waiting 15-30 minutes he and Braxton went looking to see if he had made a hit. He called back and told us to bring the 4-wheeler so I knew he'd hit him. Wow what a deer, 9 point with lots of mass at the base. Even though it's a very nice set of antlers, still didn't beat mine from last year, sorry honey!!!!

hunting season under way!!

Saturday was the first day of "gun" season. William and I went up to our hunting camp on Friday evening. Braxton had a make-up football game early Saturday morning, so they didn't get there until time for evening hunt on Saturday. William and I accidently slept in Saturday morning so we didn't have time to get the 4 wheeler ready to get to our deer blind before the sun would be up, so we walked to Shane's. All we saw was 2 moma doe's along with thier twin babies. That evening we took Braxton and Brittny with us. We saw an mightly ugly coyote (didn't get a chance to shoot), 1 whitetail doe, 1 mule deer doe and 2 very young 8 point bucks (oh well you can't really see the bucks antlers in that pic). So needless to say we didn't shoot a thing on the first day. Was way too hot anyway if we had of shot something, really want to wait until the weather gets a little colder. Anyway, they say the "BIG ONE's" are shot in the next few weeks during the "rut".
