So many things to blog about!!

Well I have had all these things to blog about all week but my computer was not cooperating! Once I uploaded all these pictures it was kinda hard to believe all this was from just last weekend.

Dusty, my dad, Barton and Daniel headed out for their hunt in unit 31 on Thursday. Dusty had scouted the area and therefore was "the guide." They all told me he was at least a mile ahead of them the whole time hiking both days. They also informed me he found all the deer for himself, dad, and Daniel. He also gutted the deer and him and Daniel hiked them all out in their packs. What a stud!! So he left with a camera and came back with pictures of Daniel and my dad's deer and none of himself. So I took the picture of all the hunters with their "hunting beards." Anyways it was Daniel's first deer and he made a 500 yard shot! My dad also made a 500 yard shot! And Dusty made a 600 yard shot. Way to go great white hunters! And we have meat in the freezer (and canned)So I think they had a really good time but Dusty informed me they killed too fast cause he didn't get ENOUGH hunting in. WOW!!! I guess it is like shopping.... it is NEVER enough.




So while he was gone, me and the kids left for the valley on Friday. We took Lacey and Dallan with us.(Of course Nelly too, she is attached so she didn't have a choice)he he Can you believe she is 7 months pregnant?? Malarie and I did a breast cancer walk on Saturday morning in Tempe. We walked 5 miles in honor of Ms. Bev, who passed away in January. It was a nice event to be apart of and we even got interviewed. The picture of me and my friends at the walk is so funny. They both are 7 months pregnant and due on the same day. We stayed at Sophie's and all went to dinner that night. The lighting was so bad and my flash is broken so the picture is bad but I included it anyway. The next afternoon we took all the kids to Chuckie Cheese for some lunch and fun before we headed home. It was a fun weekend with my sisters. We don't get to see enough of each other!

















Dusty and I ended up both getting home Saturday night. We have 9:00 church on Sundays so after church my mom was there when we got home. I had set up a little get away for Dusty and I since Monday was our anniversary. We left to Greer lodge and had a good time. It was beautiful. Our cabin was awesome too. But don't mind my hair cause I forgot everything for it! At least I remembered a hat. He gave me some really sweet gifts and cards and roses. One of the cards was a gift card to my FAVORITE.... red lobster. He told me it was good for a date night in Flag. Well I decided to use it that night, afterall it was the last night for shrimpfest!! So we got ready at home and headed to flagstaff for dinner and shopping. We had a great anniversary and I was reminded of just how lucky I am! ( and for the record, I bought him some new hunting boots)








BTW that cowboy was a manican. It was Dusty's idea. I am pretty sure he wouldn't have let me do that if he was real.

Halloween 2009




Toy Story with the good witch Grandma Sherwood

Logan and Dallan "Best cousin friends"(Lacey's oldest)

Woody aka LINKIN

Buzz Lightyear aka LOGAN

Zerg aka LEVI

Jessie aka MALARIE

Wow alot has been happening around here in the last month! I got released from the primary secratary and thought I was safe because I have a new baby. Well I guess your NEVER safe cause I got put in as 1st counselor in the primary. Even though I was a bit stressed at first, I know that is where I need to be. I LOVE PRIMARY!!!

Next our little Link is getting big on us. He turned 2 months. You know they aren't newborn anymore when you don't use weeks to tell people how old he is.




Then in very exciting mommy news.......... Logan Danner is officially potty trained! HAL LA FREAKIN LU YAH!!!! He got to pick out a toy at Wal-Mart and of course it was a $40 Buzz Lightyear. Here he is with him and Buzz underwear on.


Also we have been busy with football. Levi had his last regular season game on Saturday and had the best game of the season. YEAH!!! Go Levi #1!! He got 2 big tackles that prevented the other team from scoring touchdowns and he also chased the ball carrier down on one play, then he stripped the ball, and then jumped on the fumble!! Way to go Levi Hunter. When he came out, the coach turned him to the stands and had everyone cheer for him. (He was in heaven!!)







On Sunday we had our annual pumpkin carving get together at dad's house. We had apple cider and cookies while we carved. Dad, Uncle Barton, Uncle Daniel, Aunt Lacey, and Dallan joined us.







IN NEWS THAT DIDN'T HAVE PICTURES.....................................

* Dusty has been keeping busy with work (which we feel very blessed)and hunting/shooting his guns of course. His hunt is coming up in a couple weeks. Just in time for our anniversary. I definately should have thought of hunting season when I married him!

*Malarie has been busy with acheivement days and dance. She is getting ready for her 1st competition in February. We (me and her) are doing a breast cancer walk in November in honor of one of her former teachers who passed away last January.

*And I went on my annual friend girls trip a couple weeks ago. We went to a great resort in Tucson.We ate, had a great spa day, ate some more, went to a movie, did I mention we ate? and shopped till we dropped.They both are pregnant and due on the same day so everyone kept asking me if I felt left out.... ummm NO I have a new baby at home I would tell them. Thanks to our husbands/their moms for watching kids and letting us go enjoy ourselves for a few days! I have also been working my butt off................LITTERALLY!!! 8 pounds to go

Levi's- Football; Linkin's Blessing

We have been busy with football now since the first week of August. Just haven't had a chance to blog about it. Levi has played all kinds of positions. And we have alot of fun cheering for him. GO BLUE RIDGE MIGHTY MIGHTS!!! Funny story about him on his first game. He got sent out on the field for the first time, his whole team was in a huddle but him he was way in the back field. We were wondering what the heck he was doing???? Well his uncle Daniel was reffing and he was trying to get his attention to tell him "hi" of course! So he is waving and Uncle Daniel isn't waving back and finally he yells "Uncle Daniel, it's me Levi!" so that is what he did while his team was in the very first game and his very first huddle on the field. haha But don't let that fool you cause now he knows better and he plays hard.









We did Linkin's blessing on Sunday cause our Primary Program was then and grandparents were coming to watch Levi sing a solo. What a beautiful blessing Dusty gave and sacrament meeting was also wonderful! I can't believe this is my last baby blessing. At least he is still so small! He is growing though. At his 1 month check up he had gained 1 lb 8 oz and had grown 2 and a half inches.

Sunday Afternoons

Well it has been 2 weeks since our sweet little Linkin arrived. And as you can see, we all have ajusted pretty dang good. I am feeling GREAT! Linkin is doing awesome and the other kids just love him to pieces. For those of you that are wondering, I didn't end up having a c-section. I am so glad! I ended up going into labor on that Friday night before then they broke my water the next morning. And after a very LONG labor he finally came at 10:07pm. But he is here and healthy and we all love love him!
Sundays at our house can get a bit long to be cooped up in the house and since we have no time on Mondays due to dance and football we made Sundays our FHE nights or days. So yesterday we headed out to look for animals, have a picnic, play ball, make forts, hike, and just run around outside! We had a great day and there is some pictures of our new little LOVE for everyones enjoyment.
