January fun

January has come in with a bang... It has been full of hunting and getting back into the swing of things after our long Christmas break. Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.

The boys recieved a very cool gift from Colin's cousin Megan. She made them dinosaurs!!! Jason named his Terri and Jake named his Rexy (they got their creative name giving skills from Colin and I). They love these new stuffed dinos so much that they sleep with them every night and even packed them with us on vacation. Pretty cool!! THANKS MEGHAN!!!

January marks the end of the duck season here in Thermopolis. Therefore Colin had to send it off with style. All season he has struggled with a gun misfiring and has been borrowing a friend's. Mom and dad and Jay and Connie went in with me to give Colin a grand birthday/ passing his PG exam gift. We gave him an Xtrema 2. This is his dream gun. If we had waited until his actual birthday he wouldn't have been able to take it out until next fall. So, we gave it to him early. Colin loves his new gun and couldn't have been more excited.

The last weekend of duck season was marked with a big final hunt and a weekend full of Ducks Unlimited fun. While the guys were hunting, things escalated quickly with the ladies and I ended up with red hair. I am thankful to say that it will wash out in 6-8 weeks. Hopefully I can wash it out in less than 4 weeks.

My red hair.
I hope all of you are having a great new year as well. Happy January!!! ENJOY!!!
