Finally....the rainbow!

We sure are glad we made it through last week. Things finally slowed down a bit by Friday. We have started spraying the pens everynight and we think this seems to help, we are also cleaning out their water tanks more than we should, and putting in a little bleach and we can already tell how much that has helped! Jeff also came down this weekend and brought his family. We finally got to meet Jeff's wife Jackie and 2 more of their kids. What a great family!



It also hit 116 degrees here on Friday and Saturday. It was like standing by a fire everytime you went outside. Since we slowed down a bit this weekend, luckily, Cody was able to come in during the hottest part of the day and get out of the heat. We usually head back out to the deer pens around 7 everynight to check the deer, and fill their water, spray and clean water and this usually takes us till about 10.



Well we broke down yesterday afternoon and put Cody's girl outside. She was just toooo much for the house and it was time for her to go outside. We tried to put it off as late as we could for little girls sake, but it was time for her to go! We still have little girl for a few more weeks to make sure she is strong enough and maybe it won't be so hot in a few weeks! She might get lonely though and if we have to we will put her out sooner so she can be with her buddies. What led up to the incident that led to her going outside is hilarious!!!!!! Cody came in for a bit Sunday afternoon to check his e-mail and make a few phone calls. I was in our room sitting on the floor, just got done bottle feeding the 2 fawn. Usually after their second feeding, Cody's girl gets fiesty and starts running around the house 90 to nonthing! To top it off, Cody comes in, which makes her more fiesty! Cody is sitting on our bed on the phone with a guy talking about deer, I am sitting on the floor playing with little girl, and Cody's girl is running 90-to-nothing around the island in our closet then around the foot of our bed where I am sitting. I had to dodge her a couple of times because she was heading straight towards my head. All of a sudden I see her in mid air over our bed! It was like slow motion, she jumps over Cody, jumps over our whole bed! She didn't quiet make it over the whole bed, landed on the edge and flew off into the window! I can't believe she didn't bust out the window! That was the final straw! She is outta here! :) It was super entertaining though and we had a good laugh!


We have also had issues with our insurance here. GRRRR! Apparantly Cody got denied coverage in Oklahoma and for some strange reason with all my medical issues, I did get covered! I have been on the phone all day trying to take myself off our Texas plan and making Cody the primary while we get this stuff situated here. Texas said Cody has 6 months of coverage before he has to be off and on some kind of insurance here in Oklahoma. I also recieved a letter in the mail today telling me since we live 10 miles north of the actual town of Woodward, that my premium each month will go up 100 dollars a month???????? Since Cody got denied coverage, they said we can appeal it but they haven't known a case yet to win an appeal. We can transfer his coverage from Texas over but it will go up ALOT! But at least we are keeping deer alive this week! :)
