Hair Fun!

Reagan is getting way more patient while I am doing her hair. I think she has finally gotten the clue that I am going to finish whether she holds still and makes it easy or moves around and gets a few yanks along the way. I have so much fun trying hair do's I see on other blogs. We also throw together some of our own and she loves feeling cute. Notice she can't help but pose even when she is side ways or backwards. So funny!

this face reminds me of when she was a baby. her cheeks anyways!
SEE HOW MUCH!!!!! she is so big now, but at least I can still see the baby in her.

what a crack up!



this one is fun, cute and fast







this turned out so cute. her hair is still wet. i dried it and curled the back a bit.

Huntin' with Gav Again!

So today Gav and I and Jett went dove hunting again. Didn't see much in the way of any doves at all though. BUT, Jett was running through the brush and scared up this really nice sized pheasant! Dropped it clean out of midair. Yea I was excited enough to do my happy dance for a bit, and then to get pics of Gav and me with the bird. First pheasant ever! So excited about it. Were going to cook it up tonight for some din din! Yummy!

Huntin' Season Starts!

Just the other day, several friends and I packed up and headed a quarter mile from a friends house, practically in his back yard. There we engaged in what we all call "Lazy Man's Hunting." I had my first opportunity to go dove hunting. What a blast! Lazy Man's Hunting was exactly what it was. Just a chill day with some friends, sitting out under some trees on our camp chairs, drinking mountain dew and shooting doves. At first nothing much was happening along the lines of actually seeing the coveted bird. Occasionally one would fly through just out of range and we'd all yell for it to circle into our grove of trees, but they'd swing out, somehow knowing what was coming. Then they showed up. One after another but for some reason we were all considerably cursed because we missed practically every shot we took. I was eventually able to harvest 5, two of which were shot midflight, and the others being dropped out of trees next to us. My buddy did about the same. It was also my first time introducing Jett, our labrador to the very reason that we adopted him. That is to be my hunting dog. From the get go he was eager to follow us wherever we went, going through brush much bigger than he was, wading through ditches in water over his head, but wagging his tail the entire time. When we finally downed our first bird, we brought it over for him to sniff and to familiarize himself with the bird. He went nuts like some instinct was triggered in him to find these birds! I tossed it off into the weeds for him to bring back to us, and sure enough he did just like a pro. The only challenge was to get him to release it without eating it, which with just a little coaxing he did. Having been his first time hunting, he did pretty darn good. It was also the first opportunity I had to take Gavin hunting with me. What a dream come true for me and something I've looked forward to my entire life. To take my boy hunting. He counted every day from 2 weeks when we began planning the trip and asked me every day if it was time to go hunting yet. He was so excited. Being that my friend lives only 2 blocks from our place, we went again two days later and this time I took Reagan and Gavin. Brandi even came up with Payton and joined us for a bit. What a fun time. Tomorrow I venture on my first bowhunt for deer! Yeeha! I love Idaho!

DAVID COOK ROCKS!

Back in July I heard David Cook was going to be in the area! Knowing what a huge fan Ryan is I could not let this opportunity pass... Last night was the big night. He stood in line for 2-1/2 hours before I joined him for another hour before they opened the doors. backing up for a minute... Ry called me around 5:30 saying we can upgrade our tickets to VIP tickets for 40.00 and I said we only live once! So I hurried on over and sure enough we got the tickets and ended up less than 15 feet away from DAVID COOK the entire show. We were in a group of 100 people right in front. It was awesome. (Oh... i think he spit on me during one of his songs. I didn't even care. It was so sweet!) He is so dang good! Ry was in awe of him. I swear he teared up one time(J/K) but he was in heaven! Ry and I both got told by security not to jump b/c the floor was temporary! funny thing about it is we were not even jumping, we were the only ones doing ANYTHING so they must have assumed that we were jumping! Whatever! It was so much fun!

(We took like 80 something pictures, so Ry might put more on but these ones were the best close ups of him!)

These pics are all off of my phone which does not have the best camera but it was all we had bc Ry FORGOT TO CHARGE HIS for the concert!
We are so cute!
See how close we were!
This is me letting Ryan know that I was getting so EXCITED! I know I'm a dork!
DAVID COOK! he's hot!
