Jason, Lizzy and Trees

We got our shipment of sawtooth oak trees this week, all 19 of them and Cody has worked 13 hours everyday trying to get these suckers in the ground. We picked Burks and Lizzy up from the airport Thursday night. Friday, Jason helped Cody with the last of the trees and Lizzy helped me watch the kids. We were so happy they came to visit and had a great time showing them around the ranch and much needed catching up to do!

Cody and Burks wanted to play domino's one night because they were gonna blow each other out of the water......Well, me and Lizzy both blew them out of the water TWICE!!!! Cody didn't even break 100 one game.....LOL!

We also had a bunch of first while they were visiting. We went to Patsy's Island to show them the Indian place and as soon as we entered the Sanctuary the red deer came running to us! They have never ran to us. They usually see us and then haul butt in a canyon! After the 3 bulls came within 15 ft of us, the whole herd of mamma's came running up from the canyon! It was the neatest thing and very impressive! Cody had a bail of alfalfa in the back of his truck, so we threw it out for them. I guess they smelt it and that is why they kept following us, as soon as he unloaded the hay, they went to town!

We also got sleet one night. The sleet was sooo big, it sounded and looked like hail! We also had the loudest most obnoxious thunder and lightning one night, super scary!

We had a good visit with friends and they enjoyed all the views! Friday after they got done with the last of the trees, and the kiddos left, we decided to just ride around in the truck for a couple of hours before dinner and save the 4-wheelers till Saturday. Friday was a little chilly and sunshine.

Saturday, we wake up to fog so thick you couldn't see 10 ft in front of you and it was 26 degrees! We were all looking forward to getting out on the 4-wheelers that we didn't care how cold it was and went for it anyways! The good thing about being married to hunters is they always have enough warm clothes for an army!

Cody and Burks layered us up and we rode around for about 3 hours. It was fun and cold!

I love this pic of Lizzy! She looks like a ninja! LOL

Burks brought his fancy high tech coyote call but it was sooo foggy Saturday we didn't even try it out :( It started hailing Saturday night and we woke up Sunday to a complete FREEZE OUT! Everything was covered with 1 1/2 inches of pure ice! All 19 of the trees were covered in ice to.... Not good! We had to go to OKC to take them to the airport and as soon as we pull out it started snowing and the wind was blowing hard, but luckily we made it to OKC and back with no problem! All in all, we had a great weekend with great friends!
