My Boys and Their Elk
Vance and Hunter set out to get them a big Elk and here it is.
I can't see it either... This picture was taken with Vance's phone. I can see the gross blood on Hunter's pants and the elk is on Oscar, I think. Hunter was soooo happy and was so excited to tell me all about it. Both Hunter and Hailee have their first deer tags this year and are so excited to go get them a big one. I'm so happy that they got to do this together, that they share the same excitement and enthusiasm for this sport that Vance does and that there will be many more hunts to come. Watch out deer my kids are coming for you....
Hailee's Finger
Hailee's hand and 5 stitches. It was grosser than it actually looks in this picture. Poor thing, she was helping to change hand lines and slipped in her flip flops and grabbed the barb wire fence to catch herself. 5 STITCHES!!! Funny thing is, I looked down at her flip flops as we were walking out and said "your going to wish you would have worn different shoes", she claims she didn't hear me.

My Birthday
I need to write about this before I forget it. Hailee and Hunter tease me all the time about forgetting everything, that's partly why I started this blog in the first place. I guess losing your mind is what can happen when you get hit in the head by a horse.
Anyway, my family is awesome! This birthday was and will be one of the best in my 36 year history. It started out a little depressing. Vance had worked all night the night before and I thought he would either forget or come home and crash and tell me we would do something for my birthday later. Nope! He was wonderful! First, he text me Happy Birthday just so I would know he didn't forget. Then he came home in the middle of the day (without me knowing) to take the kids to get me a present, cake and decorations. I came home to the best birthday ever! I pulled in the driveway and there was this big, homemade sign on the garage.
My parents were there and my dad had made me the most beautiful picnic table I could have ever asked for. He had written a cute, special message hidden underneath. I love love love this gift and will treasure it always. They also made me a sweet card and had dinner waiting. So sweet!
Nick and Heather gave me a punching bag, I'm hoping to get rid of a lot of stress on this thing and get great arms while doing it.
My Vance, Hailee & Hunter got me an Elliptical and I love it! I have been wanting one for a long long time. So sweet, hopefully I'll get skinny because of this thing that makes me sweat like crazy (its gross, ask Hailee). Also, we have a tradition I started when the kids were younger. I decorate their rooms in the middle of the night because I want them to wake up and feel special on their birthdays. They decorated my room while I was at work and yes it made me feel so special and loved. Poor Vance was soooo tired that night but tried so hard to stay awake so I wouldn't be disappointed. I love that man! I felt so appreciated and loved that day and appreciate all of the efforts and love that everyone showed. Overall, it was one of the best birthdays I could have ever wished and hoped for. I love my family!
