~GIRLS WEEKEND~

In the middle of October Belinda, Shelli, and I went to the Lion King in Las Vegas. I LOVED IT! It was seriously so good! I highly recommend it to everyone! The costumes were so amazing, the music was awesome, our seats were great, we were right on the end of an aisle, and the cast came right down beside us. It was TOTALLY COOL!

Here we are waiting for the show to start!

We went to the new mall in Vegas and did some shopping. And then we ate at the CPK! LOVE IT!

I know this isn't the best picture, but I don't know if it was my camera or the guy taking the picture.. either way here we are right outside the theater!

This picture is for Shelli, her favorite Aunt is named Ann so we thought that this was totally appropriate!

~THE MIGHTY DUCK HUNTERS~

The duck hunt opened the first weekend in October, so Thomas has been spending his time shooting a LOT of ducks. The opening weekend he goes will all his cousins to Strawberry. Lately he has been hunting in Idaho on my dad's property. I don't even really see him when we go there cause he leaves around 6:30 or 7:00 and then comes home for a few hours and sleeps, and then goes back out until dark. One weekend his friend Brandon and his cousin Ty came up with us. Lets just say they shot a LOT of ducks. Luckily my dads hired help really likes duck meat, so they don't go to waste. I went on one drive with them, I will NEVER go again. It makes me to sad to see the ducks flying around just living their life and then BANG their dead.

This was one night when they came home and all of them looked liked a boy on Christmas morning. Their eyes were big when they came in the house and asked me to take the picture... There's just a little over their limit I think!

Thomas actually has made something that he calls "The Vortex" I don't have any pictures of it, but what it is, is a pull that has one duck on each end, that is ran by a motor and then the ducks look like they are flying. So then it brings the ducks in so they can shoot them. It's TOTALLY COOL!

Brad Paisley

Thomas and I went to Brad Paisley with some of our friends Max and Jenni!

It was SOOOOOOO much fun! I love all his music, and not to mention Dierks Bentley was with him! It was at USANA and we lucked out. If any of you have been to a concert at USANA then you know that the line usually raps all around the parking lot to get in. But Jenni and I thought it we would be slick and slide right up in the front of the line as they opened the gates! So we got some good seats on the lawn. What a good night it was!

Holly Homemaker....

Okay so I know you all might fall off your chair for a couple of reasons

1. I'm updating our blog... FINALLY

2. I canned these pears!

Yes I know if you know me at all this is going to be very shocking. I for one have never done anything like this, I have always just got things like this giving to me from my mom, sisters, and Thomas's mom! This year however, I learned how to can pears... I know please pull your chin off the floor! It was fun and it honestly didn't take long at all. Thomas's mom was nice enough to teach me how to do this! Thanks Belinda!

Messing around with my camera...

This was only about half of what we did that day!

Here's Belinda waiting for the next batch to be done! What a fun day!
