HEY EVERYONE,
THIS HAS BEEN BUSY HUNTING WEEK AND A HALF. CLAYTON AND BENNETT WERE SO EXCITED TO GO LAST FRIDAY THE MINUTE THE ALARM WENT OFF CLAYTON WAS ALREADY TELLING US TO GET UP AND LETS GO. THEY GOT TO WALES UT. (NEAR MANTI UT. FOR THOUGHS OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF WALES. DON'T BLINK OR YOU WILL MISS IT.) WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS. THEY WENT TO SEE THE TURKEYS ON THE TURKEY FARMS UP THERE AND CLAYTON THOUGHT THEY STUNK SO BAD! THE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH LUCK ON THEIR HUNTS THOUGH, UNLESS YOU COUNT DOE'S AND FAWNS. THEY SAW THOUSANDS, NO JOKE, OF FAWNS AND DOE'S. EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH LUCK IT WAS GOOD BONDING TIME FOR BENNETT AND CLAYTON. CLAYTON CALLED ME EVERYDAY TO TELL ME HOW HE WAS DOING. THE FIRST DAY HE CALLED AND SAID HE WAS COMING HOME THAT DAY. HE WAS DONE HUNTING. AS THE WEEK WORE ON HE GOT A LITTLE BETTER, BUT ONCE HE WAS HOME HE SAID THAT HE WAS NEVER GOING HUNTING AGAIN! HE HAD FUN BUT DID NOT LIKE GETTING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,(EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY TEN MIN. BEFORE HE USUALLY GETS UP.) AND HE DIDN'T LIKE GOING UP BIG HILLS ON THE FOUR WHEELER.
THIS WEEK WAS ALSO CLAYTON AND ABBY'S BIRTHDAY. CLAYTON GOT A BB GUN THAT HE TOOK HUNTING. HE IS A GOOD LITTLE SHOT. BECAUSE THEIR BIRTHDAY IS ONLY 1 DAY APART WE CELEBRATED IT ON WEDNESDAY, AB'S DAY. SHE HAD A FRIEN COME OVER TO PLAY AND THEY SAT IN THE HOT TUB, AND DECORATED CUPCAKES. IT WAS A GOOD WEEK.
BENNETT AND I REALIZED HOW BLESSED THAT WE ARE, WE HAVE OUR HEALTH, 3 BEAUTIFUL KIDS, A GREAT JOB AND MORE FAMILY THAN WE COULD EVER ASK FOR.

HEY EVERYONE WHAT A WEEKEND IT SNOWED YESTERDAY AND IS FREEZING!!! WE DID NOT HAVE A LONG ENOUGH FALL. THIS IS BENNETT AND I FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR. HE IS GETTING READY TO GO TO THE HUNT, AND HE IS SO EXCITED BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT CLAYTON IS OLD ENOUGH TO GO WITH HIM AND STAY THE WHOLE TIME. CLAYTON IS SO EXCITED ALSO, HE THINKS THEY ARE GOING HUNTING JUST BECAUSE IT IS HIS BIRTHDAY. THIS IS ABBY'S FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR, SHE HAS BEEN PLANNING HER COSTUME SINCE ABOUT FEBURARY. SHE WAS GOING TO BE A DEAD BRIDE (OFF OF THE CORPSE BRIDE) BUT HAS NOW DECIDED TO BE CLEOPATRA. SHE LOOKS AT THE COSTUMES EVERY DAY, HAS DRAWN PICTURES OF IT AND CALLS MY MOM EVERY DAY WITH SOMETHING NEW SHE WANTS TO ADD TO IT. SHE HAS ALSO PLANNED OUT HER COSTUMES FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS! ABBY SAID THAT WHEN SHE GETS MARRIED SHE WANTS TO GET MARRIED IN THE TEMPLE THEN FOR HER RECEPTION SHE WANTS TO DRESS IN COSTUMES!! HOPEFULLY WE CAN TALK HER OUT OF THAT. MADISON JUST LOST HER FRONT TOOTH. IT WASN'T READY BUT ABBY HAD LOST A TOOTH SO MADI HAD TO TWIST HERS UNTIL SHE POPPED IT OUT SO THE TOOTH FAIRY WOULD COME TO HER AND NOT JUST ABBY. (EWWWW I CANNOT PULL THEIR TEETH OR WATCH THEM PULL IT OUT, IT GIVES ME THE WILLIES, SO MY MOM PULLS TEETH FOR THEM.) CLAYTON DECIDE HE WANTS TO BE A BLACK WIDOW SPIDER FOR HALLOWEEN. HOPEFULLY HE WILL STICK WITH THAT AND NOT CHANGE IT AGAIN.
