Hunting

We have quite a lot of hunting pictures, so I am just going to group them all together instead of giving each hunting trip its own post.  :)

WARNING: there are pictures of dead animals below.

A moose Shaun saw while scouting for elk

Elk he saw while scouting for elk.  (Hey!)

Crazy mountain  man.  He wanted to wait until after the elk hunt to cut his hair.

A successful day duck hunting.

Hunting with our friend Skyler

Lots of coots.  A couple of ducks.

One of the best parts of hunting.

Shooting ends at sundown.

Some pics from 2012

I realize 2012 is not over yet, but here are some pictures from the year.  My mom asked us to send her a picture of us for her yearly Christmas card.  So Shaun looked though our pictures and picked some out.  We just chose one to send to my mom, and I didn't want to just x-out of the rest that Shaun chose, so I just made a little collage.  

These pictures include our trips to Vernal, Disneyland, Spring Mountain Ranch, and Logan Canyon.

Halloween!

Shaun and I had THREE Halloween parties to go to this year!  Yay!  I actually had 4 if you count dressing up for work....which I do.  First party:  Special needs mutual.  We hadn't gotten our real costumes put together yet, so I grabbed some pirate accessories at Walmart:

 Dressing up at work.  I wish I could post pictures of our students.  Their costumes were so cute!

 Shalee also had a Halloween party at her house that Shaun and I went to, but I don't have a picture of that on here.

On our way to our ward Halloween party:

Couples donut eating contest.  We didn't win, but we did pretty good!

Amazing treats that our Bishop's wife made

 My mom and sisters and I made Halloween and Thanksgiving crafts over conference weekend.

I didn't necessarily do mine the same as the tutorials, but that's where I got the ideas.

 My cousin Cheyenne is going to beauty school, and we decided it was time for Shaun to get a haircut!  This is the before picture.  I will find an after picture for a future post.

Last year Shaun and I decided to start a tradition of making haunted gingerbread houses.  (Top Picture).
This year we invited our friends Cami and Kevin to join in!  They turned out great.

Cami and Kevin's crashed about 5 minutes after we took pictures!

With all our leftover candy we decided to do haunted gingerbread houses again this year, with our friends Bobby and Cindy.  Theirs was so cool - it had a deck and everything!!

September

My sister made these cute bags to tell us whether she is having a boy or girl - they had poems on them - either one about boys, or one about girls.  This is "Team Girl" - us 4 thought it was a girl.

Then we opened the bags and found these cute blue popcorn balls with frogs - It's a BOY!

The expectant parents

I had to do some bushwacking to get to this geocache!  Can you even see me??

We found 12 geocaches in one day!

Can you see the dinosaur?

Veggie tray with all vegetables from our garden!!

That is a hefty Cafe Rio burrito - it broke the fork!
