Aliza's First Deer

Well, Aliza is a true Hunter now.  She went out with Sam and Jackson, saw her deer and shot.  She hit it right in the heart.  It didn't even run, it just dropped.  

Sam was laughing because both Aliza and Jackson got "scoped" when they shot their riffles.  The funny thing is that Sam got "Scoped" a week later when he was out by himself.   Jackson didn't get his deer when he shot, but got one in a later date.

Tuesday's stuff

It was a long and busy day. I didn't get to sit much. Not that I do anyways. I woke up at 5:45 a.m. I arose at 6:40, made sure kids were up. Took a shower and got dressed. Helped Maren study for a spelling test. 7:30 read two pages in Book of Mormon with kids. (Sam was gone hunting so wasn't home). Kids would have been on bus at 7:30, but Aliza and Jackson had 8:10 Ortho appointments, so didn't have to leave till 8:00. Dropped Maren off at school and headed for appointment. Thank goodness it was in Laurel. 8:35 dropped Jackson and Aliza off at school and proceeded to the gym in Billings for my 9:15 Palates class. Changed back to clothes and dropped off recycle things and headed to Costco. Crazy lines.....after getting things in my car, realized I had to go back in for a couple more things.... ouch! Got home at 12:00. Sam was home, but I had to get Jackson from school (Sam was fixing Jackson's phone) so he and Sam could go hunting again. After picking up Jackson, I put all Costco stuff away, had a quick yogurt and left to help out in Maren's class from 1:00 till 2:45. Ran home to switch laundry (I started a load when I got home from Costco), then went back to get Maren from school. Took her to piano at 3:25, picked up Aliza at school, ran to hair gal to pick up some make-up then took Aliza to piano. Ran Maren home, laid down for 5 min., then went to pick up Aliza. Got home at 4:45, folded clothes, picked up a little, then left at 5:40 to go to 6:20 session at the Temple. Had wonderful session, went to Applebee's to get an Oriental Chicken Salad to go (love curbside) then went home to eat. Got home at 8:45. at 9:00 watched a t.v. show, then went to get in bed at 10:00. Watched Sam and Sammy work on his application for BYU. It's due December 1st. Now, why am I still up at 11:50? Good question. I'm just glad there is no school tomorrow. Just cleaning house and making some pies.

Bye.

Hunter Safety

My boy is 11 years old, turning 12 in August, which means he can hunt in October.  He has his gun from Christmas, he just needed to take the hunter safety course to be legal.

He had to go to class, from 6:15p.m. till 9:00 M-F for a week.  I was worried about him missing a week of gymnastics, but he was determined.  On Friday he took the written test, which he had to get an 85% to pass.  I had never seen him study so hard all week for this test.  He was loving every minute of it.  He got a 99%, he was so happy.

Sam and I had to leave Wed. for our weekend away, so between Clint and Sammy, Jackson got to his classes.  Clint took him to his field course test on Saturday and got these pictures.  He had to show them how to take a gun out of the car and walk a course with the gun in his hands.

I am so proud of Jackson, my Mr Outdoors Man.  Can't wait for him to bring home his first deer.....NOT :)
