pictures.

i have been wanting to take my parent's pictures for a while now and today seemed like the perfect day because we were just lounging around. i will show you a few!

i am not professional by any means but i thought they turned out so cute!

oh, and happy thanksgiving!

hunting!

the hunt this year was only five days. out of those five days, i had two i could actually go hunt. i figured i would get one like, the first day. no such luck.





apparently, it's been too warm and there is a disease going around the deer. needless to say, there was NOTHING out there.





jon, my dad, jordan, austin, paul, dj and i got out there at the buttcrack of dawn. we hiked around and saw a group of about ten doe. that was it. i was thinking i would never find anything. we went back out that afternoon and saw the same group of doe several times but NO bucks whatsoever. dj lost his ipod that night and was pretty upset. hahaha. they went to look for it the next morning and he said "the alarm goes off at 7:30 and it sounds like crickets". we all were like, "oh, that's just perfect!" :)





the next morning, it was raining. SO NOT FUN ! we were like, a mile from the truck and it started raining and hailing. i was already freezing and getting pelted in the face by hail made it ten times worse. we didn't see anything in the morning until we were leaving. we saw something running through the trees so we got out and followed it for a while. it's hoofprint was HUGE. we went back to town and got lunch and hung out for a while. later in the afternoon, we left to go back out. we hiked a long ways and saw two doe and some old tracks but no bucks. we drove around, sat around waiting, but we were mostly just going to give up. we had talked to paul and dj and we were just going to leave. jon decided that we were going to drive down one more road and then we would leave. we got driving down the road to tinny and we saw two doe but i had made sure there wasn't a buck. we kept driving and about twenty yards down the road we saw two more doe and A BUCK! ahh, i was so excited. i quietly got out of the truck, shaking. i walked around the truck and looked at him. he never ran. i think he wanted to die. his life must have sucked. :) i got the gun up, found him in the scope (which took FOREVER) and pulled the trigger and dropped him! YAY! jon was so proud of me. :) i gave jon the gun cause i was shaking so bad. we walked up to him. he was a three point! it was big. like, ten times the size of my last year one. i was soo happy. jon had to gut him (EW!!) and then we took him home and did everything else.





here he is:




isn't he a beauty?


here i am showing him off:


lovely, huh?


I seriously think we hiked like, ten miles. i'm soo dang tired and super sore. i was run ragged. but, i can't wait until next year!
