Weekend Adventures

We have all been really busy around our house. Friday Mike had the day off so we took the boys and Matthew out of school and went hunting. We did see two does on the way up to Third Fork but they were too close to the road to shoot and when we stopped to look at them they crossed the road and out of our hunting area. Since Mike had to go into work for a few hours on Friday night we headed for home around 12:45 and got home just before 2:00pm.
Saturday was Caleb's last football game. They won again, so they finished the season undefeated. He was so excited. I think he is a little bummed that it is all over though. After the game the team met at the park for a pizza party and award celebration. That was done a little before 3:00 so we hurried home grabbed Matt left Jacob, Erik, and Sarah with Grandma and went hunting again. This time we went up to Second Fork and hiked awhile up this old logging road that Mike Gurney had said he had seen some dear up Friday. It was a beautiful hike and Joey and Caleb never complained once which made it even better. Mike and Matt saw two does but could not get a clear shot off on either of them before they spooked over the ridge. They tried to track them up over the ridge while the boys and I went around the hill on another logging road. We never did see the dear again but the boys and I spooked about 20 tom turkeys. It was really cool because they were only about 8 feet away when we spooked them. They boys had been really quiet and we were down wind from them so we were able to get really close. I can't believe how big they were. Silly me I had the camera but forgot about it for a while so when I finally remembered to get it out they were already up the hill side. I don't know how well we'll be able to see them. The pictures are on Dad's camera still so I'll have to post them when they get down loaded. We had a really good time.
I had to stay home from church yesterday with Erik. He has had a really bad cough and runny nose for almost a week now. I had gone back in the bedroom to change Sarah's diaper, when I came back out into the living room it was way too quiet I knew Erik was up to something. Just then I heard a clank in the kitchen what I discovered was Erik in the middle of a pile of hot chocolate mix and formula all over the floor. He had dumped out an entire large can of cocoa and small can of formula all over. He was so proud of himself though because he had put the lids back on the cans and set them on the counter. He is turning out to be a child that I cannot let out of sight. Mike calls him Curious George which is very fitting because he doesn't mean to be naughty he just is. Well, that is all for now. Have a great fall day!

Ready, Set, Blog...

Okay, okay, I finally did it. I now have a blog. We'll just have to see how well I keep up on it. The boys love riding with Grandpa on his scooter. Erik even finds his brother's bike helmet and comes out saying "ride, ride."
We are keeping busy with soccer and football this fall. I spend every week night, Monday-Friday, down at the Gem Island Sports Complex. Caleb's last football game is Saturday and Jacob and Joey only have about 2 weeks of games left.
Mike is keeping busy with his new job at St. Alphonsus and he still tries to pick an extra day here and there at Holy Rosary.
Well I guess that is all for now. Hope everyone has a great day.
