Goin' a Huntin'

This year Kelly and I both got deer tags. Kelly was kind enough to buy me a .270 Winchester Short Mag for Christmas a couple of years ago, the instrument by which we have filled our freezer with loads of ven. I also took hunters safety with my friend Leslie and a number of small children. This year has been extremely un-fruitful, because the harsh winter last year killed off a lot of the deer. Between the two of us this entire month, we have gotten nothing. We've been up to Bear lake, where we saw a ton of doe, China Meadows, Blacks Fork Canyon, and Red Rock, to name a few. Every night after work we've gone up Farmington Canyon in hopes of catching a glimpse of something, but if nothing else, the hiking has afforded us numerous gorgeous views. Kelly has drawn out for the cow elk hunt this November, so hopefully we'll be grillin' up elk burgers sometime soon! Stay tuned for adventures in NYC!

7/20/08 Dinosaur Museum

Yesterday we took Alaina and Taylee to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. Although they would be reluctant to tell you so, they really did enjoy themselves. Alaina enjoyed touching the petrified dinosaur poo and Taylee really liked the movie about "fissees" that we got to watch through some pretty retro 3-D glasses.

After the dinosaur musem, we all went to Cabelas to see some more "fissees" that Alaina very matter-of-factly pointed out were either dead or looked nearly dead. All in all, a very fun Saturday.

New Truck

Well we bought a new old truck! The prices have dropped so low because of the recent gas prices so we decided to take advantage and upgrade from our beater 1976 Ford. I'm really sad to see the nice upholstery work that we did on the Ford go to someone else, so we'll have to see what happens with that. So here is a picture of the 1998 Dodge Ram we just bought. Also here is a picture of the cool seat that Dad helped us make for the old Ford. Well maybe we won't sell the Ford for a while, and maybe we'll just hold onto the seat if we do sell it.

The dog days of summer

Here is a compilation of random summer activites. Please note that our lack of swimming pool forces us to the next best thing...SLIP'N SLIDE! More to follow, so much to catch up on!

Timpanogos Cave 9/7/08

Today we went visit Timpanogos Cave since neither of us has been there since we were kids. The hike up was fun. We did the 1.5 miles and 1000' elevation climb in 18 minutes. I guess we're not in as bad of shape as we thought. The cave was a nice Sunday morning activity.

Day One

We are doing the unthinkable, and beginning....a blog. Enjoy!
