Gunner's First Hunt

Oh Deer!!!

If you are a hunter or have recently talked to Zach you would know it's deer hunting season. Zach drew on two different tags (one doe-muzzle loader, one buck-regular I think) and Yesterday was the beggining of the doe hunt. My dad and him have been horrible to drive with because they were/are constantly looking for deer but it has payed off. Yesterday Zach got off work at 1730 and had his deer by 1835. I was shocked when he called me. Here are some pictures of the deer they had been stalking (is that the right word?) and the last one is with him and the deer he shot (not for little eyes)...

Fishin' Trip

Last week we decided one night to take Brooklyn and go fishing. It was so fun...at first. We coated ourselves in bug spray but we were still getting mosquito bites. I had dressed Brooklyn in long sleeves and pants so she didn't get any bites, thank goodness but I think she was a little warm. We started fishing and we were having fun (I caught a fish on my first cast) and then Brooklyn started fussing. Well we had spent time at my mom's that day and I didn't repack the diaper bag so we had no food just a bottle and she didn't want it. Then I noticed she needed a diaper change but when I went to change her I sat the only new diaper in our fish bait... GRRR!!! So we only ended up fishing for an hour and a half but now we know to prepare better next time!!

Busy as a Bee!!!

Well I wanted to do a mini update because I don't know when I will get a chance to do a new post.

-Brooklyn-
Starting to crawl. She moves her knees but doesn't quite understand how to do the arms so she does two legs then falls to her side or onto her belly. It's very exciting but at the same time very sad. We are going to have to get some baby gates for our stairs! She is starting to laugh more and more as well. Zach hates this but lately when she gets really tired she will look at me and I start laughing then she starts laughing and we all just laugh til our bellies hurt. So needless to say her sleeping schedule is a mess right now. It is funny though.

-Zachary-
He is still working very very hard. He found out today that he will have a little extra vacation around his birthday which is nice, but he has no paid vacation left so it will be with out pay :( It will be good though for him to have a couple days off. He just found out that he drew out for a doe tag and a cow elk. He also purchased a deer tag before all this so we are going to have a ton of meat for the winter. I'm excited about the elk! It make really good burger, it's more lean than beef and taste better too. So hunting will be keeping him very busy this season.

Well some of you already know this but I am taking a class from Bridgerland and working full time for right now. There are going to be two girls at work on maternity leave at the same time for about three weeks so I will be working up to 4 days a week and going to school 2 days a week. I am so busy. Class is only three hours long but it still has a lot of homework that is hard to find time to do. Not to mention all the house work that I'm behind on!!!

So there you have it... Hope to post some funner stuff later this week!!
