Our house in a few words...

Once in a lifetime tag....

This was an exciting year. I drew the once in a lifetime Mountain Goat tag and I got one.  It was an awesome experience.  I really had so much fun.  We started our journey out at inspiration point, hiked over to willard peak and then up and over ben lomand peak and down about 2000 feet to get my goat. These mountains are about 10,000 feet in elevation and we were on the TIP TOP.   It was an all day hunting trip.  The first picture is of Garet and I, my dad, Todd and Brenon.  This was our first time out to see what it was all about.  We saw a lot of goats that night but we were more or less getting educated and didn't want to take the first thing we saw.  I had a nanny tag and it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a nanny and a billy.  So the following week we went out again.  I had the most incredible guides with me.  Garet, Chase and Brett( a guide that works for the ranch from new zeland).  Plus I had Todd spotting the North Ogden side of the mountains and my dad spotting the Liberty side of the mountains.  It was a fool proof formula for success.  Todd actually spotted and guided us into the herd we took our goat from.  We spent 14 hours total getting our trophy and it was AMAZING and so much fun.  In the second picture you can see the mountain top of Ben Lomand and we seriously were on the highest point of that peak, walked along the top and down to the spot we finally ended our hunt. Then it was a major hike back up all along the top and back to the truck.  It was hard and steep.  Garet, Chase and Brett do this for a living and  it was hard on them.  I don't think it is possible to realize the location of where these goats live unless you go up there.  It is so beautiful.  Thanks a million to all my guides and their hard work helping me to get an awesome, gorgeous once in a lifetime goat.  And by the way...it only took me one shot to drop this beauty.

I love being able to post and blog again.  Mason LOVES school so much.  This is a picture of him and one of his cute teachers Courtney.  She took this on her Iphone.  He was so happy they were both wearing matching glasses.  He is so cute and happy.  Everybody adores Mason.  We do too.

JUICING...do you have a juicer?  Ever thought of juicing a zucchini?  That is exactly what we did today.  AND IT WAS GOOD!  Very mild flavor but refreshing.  We added some different flavors with our cherries from our tree and apples and it was great.  Fun for the whole family too.  Also very organic.  Just a little food for thought. 

Happy Sunday.

I think I just made a MAJOR discovery.  See all the posts of frustration, well I had to update my page somehow and it chaged the format but now I can post again.  I have missed so much now if I can just remember all I have missed. 
One thing is certain I have had some good laughs lately.  One thing that made me laugh like I have never laughed before was a couple of bee stings.  Easton and his friend were agitating a hornets nest and they came out with FURY.  They both were stung but poor Hunter got stung on the eye and it swelled and swelled and  swelled until he looked like a character on Star Trek.  He said the funniest comments about himself and I Laughed so hard.  But it really wasn't funny because he ended up going in for a shot of epinephren.  He is a funny little fellow though. 
And today Easton made me laugh.  He got into trouble and so I told him he was grounded.  He looked me straight in the eye and in ALL seriousness said, "I wish heavenly father NEVER EVER would have told you about grounded."  I Lost all seriousness and LAUGHED. 
Laughing feels so good.  Right.

blogger is driving me CRAZY!!!!!!!! I do a post and for some odd reason it won't publish the posts. And when I try to edit a post it won't save the changes and post it. So the last post has so many errors. I was trying to get it on paper while holding a wiggly baby and Grayson while he was being irritated by Mason. Maybe it will fix itself??? Anyone else having troublewith blogger?

Blogger is making me CRAZY!!!!!

I am about ready to call it quits. I have posted a few different posts but they wont post. I can't fix my misspelling's or errors (like in the last post) and I never know if what I try to post is going to or not. I am always wrestling my 4 boys while trying to type or make a post. Usually I have 2-3 of them on my lap or the chair while I try to type. BUT when blogger isn't cooperating it makes the task unbearable. So I hope it shapes up soon. OR this if it posts will be one of the last.
