10/10/2010...I was in Cedar City to attend my new niece's blessing. It was so great to go down there and to witness this. I was touched of coarse, because my sister and her husband got up after the blessing a bore their testimonies...to hear how grateful they were to be parents and that Phoebee is truly a miracle. I was only there for 2 nights, but it was good to get away from work and see my family.
Me and Phoebee...
Liam and Phoebee...2 months apart :)
Here just one of my favorite pictures of her!
Proud parents Dezaree and Geoff...
10/16/2010... Kris, Declan and myself went hunting. We drove clear to Rawlins, WY; which is about 2 hours away where we were at. It was a pretty fun day to tell you the truth. This was Declan second time EVER to go hunting. It was nice to have our little family spend time together before Kris left out of town for work for awhile(I'll explain that later). We drove around for a bit trying to see where we could hunt and if there was anything around. Well, long story short we ran into a buck and two doe's. He shot at the small 3 point buck and it seemed to have hit in a good spot. It went around the corner and was just standing there... Declan and I were behind Kris and was watching to see what it was doing. Well, Kris decided to go shoot it again because it was just standing there and he didn't want it to suffer or run...well, it looked straight at Kris and RAN! Kris got on it and found it laying on the ground, and Kris thought, "Oh, it's dead." So he was getting closer and closer and all of a sudden it gets up and RUNS SOME MORE!! Right past Goober and me..ahhaha... Declan said, "Hey. Deer not dead." haha... Long story short. Tracked it for 5 hours, yes with Declan, and couldn't find the buggar! So we gave up and went home because we were losing day light to get out. Kris, his mom, sister and brother all went out the next day and tracked it and found it. Sadly enough the meat was already ruined :( So all Kris got was the antlers. He always gives the meat to his mom, but not this year.
Here's Declan right after witnessing dad shooting a deer...priceless...
This is the deer when we went around the corner of the hill... he stood there for a bit..then you'll see him look at Kris and it RAN for DEER life...ahhaa...(put a little joke in there for ya)
Back to explaining Kris's working out of town situation: He left Monday, 18th, for Rifle Colorado. He'll be there until November 6th and 7th. Then he'll leave again until Thanksgiving. Then after that he'll go back and probably will not be back until Christmas. This is the plan. Probably will not be that long, but you never know. Just depends on how fast the job goes. I really miss him when I am not working, but I am TRULY grateful for this job. He is such a hard working person, and does so much for us...and I know he is doing this for us as a family. It'll be hard to be a single parent on Halloween, and miss Declan's 3rd birthday, but it is just a part of life...
I LOVE YOU KRIS!!
