Gisella's Prom

I don't think they had such a great time at prom :( We were gonna keep the kids till about 1 or 2 (they were gonna have an after party kind of like we call project graduation but I guess you can call it project prom?) and they ended up picking the kids up at 8:35! Not sure exactly why but I don't think they really understood what prom was. She invited her dad to come with them and her whole family would have come to if they didn't live in Nacogdoches. I went with her yesterday to get her nails and toes done and she was really excited because it was only the second time she got her nails done. They were really excited about prom too but looked really disappointed when they came back :( I'm sure it doesn't help that she is the only Hispanic person at her school and probably the only one who showed up with her dad.

Crazy Like You

Well people sing songs all the time
Bout fallin in love and losing their minds
But it ain't love that drive folks mad
It's livin this life day in, day out
Tryin to figure out what it's all about
The who's, the when's, the where's, the why's and the maybe's

I say everybody's crazy so what you need to do
You need to find somebody crazy like you
Someone you can fuss and fight with
And when you make up, then you can love all night with
Someone who shares your particular point of view
Oh their bound to be crazy, just make sure they're crazy like you

I looked high, I looked low, looked far, looked wide
Before I looked in a mirror and I realized
I spend my time lookin for the wrong thing
A perfect insane would be so mundane
A man like me, I'm subject to change
And I'm lookin for some one's track's fit my train

I found me a girl and she five foot four
And I never found a girl that I adore more
We are in tune and out of touch with all the same things
And she's as wild and mean as a deep blue sea
and pure and sweet as honey from a bee
And I love her to death, cuz that girl's crazy just like me

I say everybody's crazy so what you gonna do
You need to find somebody crazy like you
Someone you can fuss and fight with
And when you make up then you can love all night with
Someone who shares your particular point of view's
Oh their bound to be crazy just make sure they're crazy like you.

The Nuge!

I forgot to mention the highlight of the Expo weekend....well, Cody's highlight! He finally got to meet Ted. We were able to visit with him a bit and he remembered talking to Cody and said coming out to the ranch to hunt is still a go, just working on an available weekend!

I stayed at our booth whil Cody and Richard went to hear his seminar and I was a little bummed cause I wanted to hear him speak. Well, lucky me they played his seminar in the main building and I got to hear him. He was cracking me up! About 10 minutes into his speech he starts in on Obama and then it went silent. The guy in the booth beside me was mad and went to the front to tell them to turn it back up. When he got back he said the guy told him that people were getting mad and if they wanted to hear him they would be at his seminar! Well they ended up turning it back on and I have never laughed so hard in my life. He is so right and so honest and tells it how he sees it! It was GREAT!

NW Oklahoma Outdoor Expo!

The expo was great this weekend. The booth was awesome, we made a lot of contacts and now people of Woodward actually know there is a hunting ranch close! We had a lot of teachers around here stop by wanting to bring there classes out for a tour. I think that is a great idea but having a bunch of kids running around the breeder pens with fawns scared out of their minds isn't a pretty sight! But we will see!

The feed store lady, Becky, wanted her booth beside ours so she can point out what feed and protein do to animals so everyone that visited her booth came over to ours! Everyone was very impressed with all of our sheds we brought and everyone wanted to pick them up to see how heavy they are:) I made a huge picture album of the ranch, the lodge and all the different animals we have and some pictures of Jeff and the kids and the animals they have already harvested and that was a hit too! Who doesn't like looking at pictures?!? The men were in awe of the animals and the women were in awe of the lodge and the master bedroom and bathroom!

Friday was kid day so we had a huge basket full of candy to entice the kiddos to come to our booth, then the parents followed!

Richard came down to help with the booth and working the deer in the breeders pens and everything went smooth Thursday with the bucks. Friday they worked the doe and everything went smooth until they worked the babies from last year. One was just too freaked out that it ran full throttle into a metal fence and broke her jaw. They finally got her in the shoot and gave her shots and medicine and Cody tried to clean her up as much as he could and then let her go because she was stressing to much. We didn't know if she would make it since she was stressing so much. Cody called the vet so she could come out and wire her jaw but baby girl didn't make it. This is the sad thing about raising deer. You never know how they will react one day and we had worked her before and she did fine. I am just glad Cody had enough help this time that I didn't have to be down there to see that.

We went out this afternoon to see if we could call some turkey's up and came across this big guy. I got pretty close to him and it looks like he is cussing me! I think his exact words were, "you better tell your man to make this feeder go off before I charge you!" We also found one of the Minnesota buck in the high fence dead :( It's the one who dropped his antlers like 3 months ago and hangs out at this feeder as well. We think maybe the Fallow ganged up on him because about 5 fallow bucks hang out in this area too and they still have their horns. I guess we will never know what happened:(
