UEA WEEKEND

The kids got out of school early on Wednesday Oct. 15, and they didn't have to be back to school until Tuesday Oct 21, so we decided to go camping and hunting with daddy. The hunt didn't start until Saturday morning so we just hung out rode the 4 wheelers and the boys went bird hunting since we couldn't hunt deer till Saturday. This is the girls waiting for breakfast to be cooked while standing by the fire. It was freezing in the morning and and night but during the day it was light hoodie weather it was so nice.

Brayden is not in any pictures with the rest of the kids because every time the camera was out he was nowhere to be found. But I finally got him. He decided he was going to get up early Saturday morning and go hunting with dad. He got hiked pretty good. He was so tired when they got back. But he enjoyed his one on one time with dad.

This is Jakob, Jordan, and Andrew shooting the pellet guns at cans while they wait for their breakfast to be cooked. They had fun walking the trails looking for grouse and shooting the 20 gauge shotgun. Their favorite thing that they would not stop bugging us about was riding the 4 wheelers. They think since they know how to drive them and control them that they are allowed to do it at anytime. Their plans were squashed quickly though because they could only drive by themselves if they have taken a 4 wheeling course and gotten a license for youth. So needless to say in February Andrew, Brayden, and Lexi will all be taking the course together.

Ciarra is a big time dog lover and she would not leave my brother's dog JR alone all week. She kept making our dog Shooter cry and whine cause she would pay more attention to JR then Shooter. It was this way last hunt also. She kept hugging and babying JR like she did this year. She kept telling us he was her horse.

This is a picture of Ciarra and her Horse. Aren't they cute together. Poor JR couldn't get away from her at all no matter where he went.

Baylee and Lexi finally have gotten over their fear of being by a big dog. This is a big thing for them since we got our dog they have still been skeptical, but this is the first time since they have gone up to Jon's dog and touched and played with him. Hopefully all their fears will be gone. We had a lot of fun this week. We came back Sunday night cause daddy had to work Monday morning for a couple of hours. Then we took Brayden out for his Birthday. After we got back from the movie daddy left with Uncle Jon and went back up hunting for the rest of the week. So hopefully he won't come back empty handed this year.
