Huntin Fun

Ok these pictures are NOT for everyone and I totally understand BUT Doug is proud of them. These picture are taken of the buck antelope that he shot this year. They are taken at the taxidermist by the taxidermist. Yes the antelope does not look pretty right now but he will be when Randy is thru with him.

Summer Slipping Away Quickly

With the leaves changing, the kids back in school and the camper being winterized....it looks like our SHORT summer is quickly slipping away....We LOVE the colors as summer slips away but we are not looking forward to the cold white days ahead of us.
We are all doing well just taking one day at a time. Dellis is still working graveyards at Bridger Coal. He is trying to spread his wings (he wants to move outside of Wyoming) but not sure at the moment exaclty what he has planned.......he has not let us offically know yet. :-} Brodie is doing really well. He is finally RUNNING on his own. He only has one speed at the moment. We see him as often as we can. His mom informed us that they are probably going to move to CO where Mike is going to go to school to become a gun smith. We are sad that they might go but excited to see Mike further his education.

Kolten and Christine have headed off to college. Kolten earned three scholorships which has paid for his two years here at Western Wyoming Community College. We are SUPER proud of him. Kolten is taking 15 credit hours right now. He is taking general classes right now with a hint of computer science. He is not 100% what he wants to do when he grows up so he is keeping his options open while exporing the college at the same time. Christine also earned some scholorsihps and she is in Torrington WY where she is studying to become a vet tech. Torrington is above Cheyenne which is on the other side of the state. They miss each other alot but the text ALOT. She is doing well in school and says school is REALLY hard but we know she will do well.

Aubree is in the 8th grade this year. She is staying busy with ALL the activities that she LOVES to do. She tried out for the High School play again and made a part. She practices 3 to 4 time a week after school and LOVES LOVES LOVES every minute of it. She is taking swimming this year. Her swimming class is 4th which is right in the middle of the day. We thought she was going to HATE that but she loves it. She is in the swing choir again this year and she says that are preparing for there Christmas program already (ARE YOU SERIOUS !!!!!!) She is growing up too fast.

Doug went back to work the first part of this month after having shoulder surgery the first part of June. WE are all glad his shoulder is feeling better. He is enjoying the hunting season at the moment. He had three antelope tags and one deer tag this year. He filled the three antelope tags last week and will fill the deer tag the first part of next month. Man what a hard life he has....heheheheheLife has been exciting at the tax office with hard drives crashing, extentions coming due and the quarter ending AGAIN. But hey that is what makes life exciting and worth getting up every day.

With our many many summer project ending and the night getting colder we are greatful we have each other to keep us warm at night. We are greatful we live in a free country and glad for our health and good jobs. We love each other deeply even though at times we don't like each other for a minute or two. We seem to run in different directions every day but at the end of the day we are greatful that we have a nice home to come home too that we can call our own.
