I know it has been quite some time since I have updated my blog so I will do that NOW before I get consumed with all the holiday business coming up!
First to talk about is the hunts of the year. First of all we started out with barely getting our NEW fifth wheel the week before we were leaving on the elk hunt. ( sorry no picture yet)
The elk hunt started on Saturday October 9th, we went up a day and a half early. We go up early so Friday we can sleep in for one day (get up early on the hunt) and the boys go and get firewood so we can have a fire when we get back from hunting.
We were successful on this hunt. Kameron got his Cow Elk, so we have some meat in the freezer. I love Elk meat! We should of had a spike elk but the sun was shinning just so that when Kameron tried to find the spike in his scope the sun made it so he couldn't even see it, all he could see was sunshine. So he went and grab his ball cap out of the back pack to put on to block the sun. He then shot at the elk, this was a long shot, and missed. Then the start elk walked up to the ridge line, spike then bull elk with two cows surrounding it so we couldn't shoot. They are so smart!
I don't have any pictures of Kameron's Cow elk :(
Then we were off down south by
Moab to hunt for deer. It was
Kameron's dad,
Kameron, and myself. All three of us had a deer tag this year. I got my deer opening morning. Opening morning was so slow, we were thinking we were going to leave
deer less. We went back to the trailer, took a nap and ate some lunch. Decided that we might as well go back out since that is what we were down there for. We were driving along the road and
Kameron sees some does and fawns so we stop. All the sudden
Kameron yells at me "There's a buck, Tonya get out and shoot." So I get out of the truck as quickly and
quietly as I can. Walk over to the other side of the truck and put my gun up. I am shaking to death, look at
Kameron and he is saying "shoot it, Tonya shoot it now". I ask
Kameron if I can
kneel down so I have a steadier shot, he said "NO you need to shoot now." So I put my gun up take a deep breath and pull the trigger!!! I hit it on the first shot but it was trying to get up and run but couldn't. I hit it in the back and probably broken its spin. So
Kameron shot it and it dropped like a ton of bricks. Remind you that I took so long to shoot that
Kameron's dad was sitting in the back seat of the truck, telling him to get out and shoot it cause I was taking so long!!! ha ha So we walk down to where the deer is at and it is steal breathing, so I told
Kameron to shoot and put it out of his
misery, so he did! So that is the story of me getting my first Buck. I wont go into the details of cleaning in it! :) O it was a little two point. Not to big but good enough for my first deer. Here is a cute pictures!
Dance Competiton at Lagoon
Here are a few photos from my first dance competition this year with Dance Image Academy! Our Hip Hop Rocked the house. Jazz can use a little bit of work. All that matters is that we all had a blast! We all love to dance. It is so hard to find a studio that has adult teams let alone an adult competition team! All of the girls are so nice and we have a blast together! Another competition this saturday at Viewmont, more fun! These are just random pictures that a friend took of all of us! Enjoy!
New Mexico
Last weekend my sister and I flew out to New Mexico to see our Mom and Brett. While we were there we got to go out to the hotel that Brett manages and see Blake Shelton in concert. We rode out to the hotel in a really nice motor home thanks to my mom's wonderful friends Dane and Elaina (sp). Then Brett worked his majic and got us tickets to the Meet and Greet to meet Blake Shelton. We had a great time like usually! Thanks to everyone!
Rascal Flatts Concert!!!!
On Thursday night my sister and I got off work and met down at the gateway. We went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. Then we headed over to the Energy Solutions Arena for the Rascal Flatts concert. We had to go and pick up the tickets from will call. We both were so anxious to find out where are seats were at. I am in their fan club and you couldn't pick up your tickets until 6pm the night of the concert, so we have been waiting quit some time to see where we would be sitting. So we went and picked up the tickets, I slightly opened the envelope that the tickets were in. I didnt believe what I saw so I ripped them out of the envelope and pointed to the row that it said, and asked Taya if I was reading it correctly. "Does that really say that we are on the 2nd row?" We both couldnt believe it!!! I think we were both so excited and shocked that we didnt even know what to say to each other. I never get this lucky. When your a fan club member you are guaranteed tickets from row 2 to 20, but with my luck I was sure I would get row 20. We had a blast! This was probably the best concert that I have ever been to. If you have never seen Rascal Flatts in concert, it is a must do, they put on an AWESOME show.
Christmas!!!
I know I am a little bit late but just wanted to post a little about Christmas. It was our year to be with our Dad for Christmas Eve, and it is a ritual that we cut down our own Christmas tree. The first picture is of the tree that we cut down! I know it is huge and we cut off even more when we got home to fit it in the house! Yes we are tying it to a rope to pull home behind the snowmobile, and all three of us on ONE snowmobile. It was good times!!! Then you can see how beautiful the tree was once we got it in the house and decorated it! We always have a good time doing this! Just wanted to share it with everyone! Hope you all had a Happy Holidays!!!
