Hunting Season has Begun

Wow! Has it really been two years since I left this blog? That was back when I still had dial up and it took two hours to post one picture.
The boys went hunting tonight. Brian has a cold wasn't too thrilled about going, but it is opening day tomorrow after all! It took a couple of hours to site in guns and pack for the farm. I think I spent about $200 on deer tags and groceries for them. I hope they all bring home big ones! Amanda and I ate Oreos and milk and are looking forward to snuggling together tonight.

Farming 2008

We have been busy farming again this summer. From wheat to hay to soybeans, the boys have been busy. Travis is in the tractor moving bales. And the last pic is the view I had of our new farm while I was watching Trav move bales. Isn't it pretty?

Who's the dummy?

This is no dummy. This is our friend Elder Hutchinson. We were wishing we could celebrate his birthday with him, so we decided to make a dummy Hutch. The kids all thought about what they would do if he were here, and they decided that a good day of rule-breaking was what they would do!
Happy Birthday Hutch!

Is this fun or what? Travis and Cody got to preg-check for the first time last winter. Brian was glad to get help from Elder Hutchinson. Working cattle isn't always easy, but at some point it is fun. Right Brian?

Elder Hutchinson took a turn preg-checking while he was here. I'm glad he was wearing a glove!
