Finally Success!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Travis, Mcaky, and even Tyson have spent this month up in the mountains hunting. This is Mckay's first year to be a legal hunter. He has been having the time of his life! Though no success for the elk hunt, Trav did manage to get this 3 point. Mckay is still hoping to get one today, (the very last day of the deer hunt.) Now, if I were the dad, I would have had Mckay shooting this deer, but apparently he wasn't by him, so they say. Now if you think hunting season is over, you're wrong. From now until March I have to deal with the pheasant hunt. And after that it is just in time for golf to start. Gees, I need a hobby!

Halloween Fun!

Yesterday we went to our annual Halloween Carnival at Jamestown in Provo where my grandma lives. The kids always have such a great time. It is never crowded and they can play the games as many times as they want. All the residents there love it too because they love kids - why else! Travis and Mckay were hunting of course, so much to Mckay's dismay he had to miss this party. (yeah right!) I think he thinks he is getting too old for this kind of thing. Anyway my camera battery died (ahhh!!) and so I am missing priceless pictures of the haunted house and pinata. Whitney actually wanted to do the pinata, it was really cute, and that's when my camera died. Oh well!

Also I think I should mention I just turned 30! Wow! So it doesn't really feel that old, I just look at people differently. The ones that I thought used to be old actually are pretty young and the high school students look like babies! I can hold my head up high though, because I am told (much too often!)I look too young to have kids anyway. So can't wait till I'm 50, maybe I'll look 30 by then. For my birthday cake I got tarts from Kneaders (fruit and key lime) yum!! I splurged and ate three, and yes it was worth it..very good! And no, I didn't do anything too fun, Travis of course went hunting, but my dad (so sweet!) took me and my kids out to lunch and then we had the carnival to go to. So Happy Birthday to me!

Introducing the newest member of the Clyde family

Meet Toby..or Boozer..or Trigger..or Riley.. Born September 8th, he is our new 6 week old German Shorthair, soon to be "Hunting Machine" number two. We are just having trouble finding him a name. He's so cute! I love puppies, but then they grow up and stink and jump on me and stuff. So right now I really love him, we'll see how long that lasts :)! The kids are mauling him to death, we've never gotten a puppy so young before.



This puppy looks so much like Katie, our other German Shorthair, that when Whitney first saw him she called him Katie and crawled around on all fours chasing him. Apparently this puppy doesn't mind it and loves to give kisses already.



He loves to cuddle and has already fallen asleep in Mckay's lap. Needless to say, Mckay is attached and can't wait to train him!

PS..Stay tuned for the latest hunting misfortunes of Travis and Mckay, yet to shoot a BIG buck.

Thirteen years down, an eternity to go!

I can't believe that it's been 13 years! Actually thinking back, it does seem like it's been that long! Times have sure changed! We have had some great times together, in fact I've almost been married as long as I've been single - well 3 more years. How Crazy! Anyway, ask me what I'm doing for my anniversary and I'll say nothing. Somehow I managed to have my birthday and my anniversary right in the middle of the elk hunt and the deer hunt, so I never really get to celebrate anything in October, or November for that matter. Anyway, I thought I would post these pictures so that everyone could get a good laugh! I try not to look at these pictures ever, in fact not one of these is even framed in my house. I had to dig through my albums to find these to scan. It brought back a few crazy memories, but I'll save those for myself. It is interesting to see how life changes so much in a short amount of time. Well Happy Anniversary honey, love you!
