Christmas Lights

This year I decided to put up a few Christmas lights, and then a few more, and so on. After awhile I was beginning to feel a bit like Chevy Chase. It made it all worth while when we took Dalton outside and the first thing he said was "HOLY MOLY"!!!

We hope everyone has a safe holiday season, a

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Dad's late season elk hunt

My dad (Max) and his friend Buck (Dave) finally drew late season Book Cliffs elk tags. The big bulls were hard to find this time of the year which made the hunting pretty difficult.Enjoying a nice camp fire.

I love this picture of my dad.

After 6 hard days of hunting, we were finally able to put a bull on the ground. He wasn't "the toad" we were hoping for, but a trophy none the less.

We loaded the bull up on the 4-wheeler and headed out.

Back at the truck.

Here is a little video of our trip back to the truck.

Dalton (VIP)

Dalton was VIP of his pre-school class on Thursday.

Grandpa and daddy were in the Bookcliffs elk hunting, but took a break in the action for the special day.
Grandpa's boy!!!

Dalton lead the class in saying the Pledge, mommy talked to the class and told them why Dalton was such a special boy, and then the class sang him a song.

First Doctors Appointment

Kelli and I went to our first doctors appointment and found out that we are going to be blessed with TWINS. Mommy may still be in shock, but daddy seems to be doing fine.

Here is the picture of the ultrasound......two sacks!!!

More Shooting Fun

My buddy Chad was in Vernal this last week for business, so while he was here, we decided to waste a little lead Chad shooting my 17HMR

Target Practice

My dad has a late season limited entry bull elk tag for the Book Cliffs.....SO, we decided it would be a good idea (and fun) to do a little practicing before the big day. I set up several targets ranging from 100 to 450 yards. As you can see, this one @ 250 yards got smoked a few times

And this one at 300 yards
The buffalo on the left got 2 new holes in his head
This is what happens when you get a tad close to the scope........
