The Elk

This bull scores at a 320 which is an average bull in New Mexico

but a bigger bull for Nebraska. It will be in the Pope and Young

book which honors good hunters in the state!!

Brad and his hunting partner Dick

Mule and horse back ride on their way out. It took 5 hours
to cut up the Elk then they had to pack it up to ride back to camp.
Not looking forward to the Elk burger but everyone tells me its
good eating and tastes a lot like hamburger. I'll try it once :)

New Mexico

Brad went to New Mexico Elk hunting this past week. He was gone for a little over a week and got one! He had a blast and wants to go back again sooner than he had promised! While in New Mexico they had to use pack mules and ride in on horses where they hunted because anything with wheels or a motor was not allowed where they were. He said it was a very back woods experience but that's what he likes so he was in Heaven!! About a week before he left he would ride his horse Cisco to get his legs and body in to shape for the long horse rides to come. The boys of course wanted to ride along and Cisco is a very good horse so why not!!

Grandparents Day

Grady's preschool class celebrated Grandparent's Day this past Thursday. The kids sang a few songs then enjoyed cookies and juice with their Grandparents! Grady is a very lucky boy having many grandma's and grandpa's and great grandma's and grandpa's. This year his Great Grandma's came to visit him!

Great Gma Delores, Grady and Great Gma Phyllis
I think this is so sweet!

A wave from the loudest singer out there ;)

There are 19 kids in his preschool class this year, yep 19...

My Boys

The night we were getting ready to go have our pictures taken by Brooke Graves I told the boys they needed to look extra handsome and that I'd help them get dressed in a few minutes. Grady assured me he could do it himself and ran upstairs. After awhile I went up to help him and this is how I found him!! He told me he had to wear his tie because he looks real nice in a tie :) I believe the outfit he found and has on is a 2T and yes, he's 4! But way to go Grady for trying he does look handsome in a tie :)

Cadyn and Bryce

This summer my mom and I had the pleasure of watching Cadyn while her mama and papa were house hunting in Canada. We stayed in NE the first few days but found our place in Wichita the remainder of the week. Bryce and Cadyn really made a connection after Cadyn drew the line of what was her's (the baby) and what Bryce was allowed to play with (the stroller)! :) I was downloading videos tonight to my computer and came across these two of our Beautiful Gingers. Hope you enjoy as much as I did taking them!!
