Hunting: Parental Discression Advised

We took our first "family hunting trip" to the Ranch this past weekend. We were joined by the Fosheas and the Murrays. You won't see any pictures of the guys because all of the photos with them in them are too yucky to post.

Christal and I shooting hand-guns at targets and soda cans. We'll probably start being recruited by "clandestine services" soon because we're both such good shots. It'll be tough to turn down. "These guns are toooo louuuuuud".
Phil shot his first deer ever. Nathan was very interested. (Owen too--he knew the deer had a booboo, but we're leaving it at that for now.)
The girls with some of the babies (Emmy and Boone not pictured).
Emmy and Owen working it in some work boots.
A good time was had by all. It was a very very cold weekend, but we not only survived but had a great time. On the way home (very late), Owen fell asleep with a hamburger in his hand. When he woke up he asked for it and was somewhat upset that we had taken it from him.

Okay...now I feel sufficiently caught up which is good because we're leaving town early Saturday morning for a somewhat impromptu trip to the beach in Mexico so I'm sure we'll have lots to post when we get back...

Oh, and note to other baby-booker-bloggers out there. I just had our entire blog turned into a book (actually 3 books--one for each year of posts) through "www.blog2print.com". The quality is not quite as good as the photo-books you create yourself using mypublisher.com or something like that but it literally took 20 minutes and now I have hard-bound books preserving all this rambling. The formatting is done automatically so is a little weird at times (and obviously, videos aren't included so references to them seem a little strange), but it's super easy and looks way better than if you tried to do it yourself, so they get my recommendation. Let me know if you have any questions--I'm happy to help if I can. Adios!
