Fourth of July

We came home for the 4th. We made our first stop at bucees. That store is awesome. Jones loved the beaver.....

Hung out at Nannie and Daddo's with the family, had a cookout and played games.

Jones got to play with his 2nd and 3rd cousins who he loves loves loves!

Set off lots of fire works.

Had a nerd gun war....... And Nawna won! The vegetarian who has never shot a gun got second, ha! Good job, Bri!

Jones wanted to stay a few extra days so we had the week to ourselves. It was a nice Vacay, ha!

Breaks are nice but it's so much better with our little love and we were thrilled to have him back

Deer 2015

 

We are up to 120 fawns and bottle feeding 99! Jones has his favorite fawns that love him. He named one Copper and one Cheif. We are hoping these two will be monsters:)!

It's been fun getting to know all the deer and letting them get used to us. They love Jones!

We had 9 new deer breeding pens built this summer and we got to see that process. It was pretty neat.

Every night we bring in new babies!

We had two sets of quintuplets....... Weird having 1 set but 2 was crazy!!!! This little one didn't even read anything on the scale. Jones gave her some extra TLC but she didn't make it. She was just too little.

We had to tranq and cut off a growth on a buck's antlers. It was cool and gross!!!!

We thought it would be full of blood but it was full of fluid.

Loving on Copper!

Loving on Cheif and his buddies!

South Texas sunsets are gorgeous! I get a pretty view every night on my walk!

Pearsall Happenings

Well, the torrential daily rainfall has come and gone and it left us with hot, humid, dry days. All the rain has slowed down our house process. Now that's its dry, we are hoping to be in our house within 3 weeks......fingers crossed.

It has been so hot Jones just falls out some days. We've been keeping enough water in our system but some days the heat is draining. Jones just sprawled out in the back of the ranger one day, ha.

We get to stay in during the hot part of the day and chill out in the air. He was a cuddle bug last week, which turned into sickness this week.......

We went back to seaworld again. Love that place. It's just not as fun on the weekend when they are busy........

Water is the the only thing that makes south Texas bearable.

Water sprinkler under the trampoline????? Yes, please!

AND.........we finally got our first baby! He was about two weeks early and a triplet. The other two were stillborn.....

This little guy has cheered up my lil guy this week while he was feeling poopy!

 

Here's to the beginning of a busy summer!!!

Buckmaster's, Bucks and Good decisions.

We got to go back to Brownwood a couple weeks ago for Buckmasters banquet. It was fun and LONG. Cody got to meet this guy! Mr. buckmaster's himself. Our ranch hosted 2 handicap children last year and they got an award and their kills back, fully mounted!

We have had lots of bad weather in Pearsall. We have spent way to many minutes in the hall......... Jones is the little weather natzi. He has been wanting to watch the news and weather over cartoons every night.

We went car shopping the other day. We fell in love with the new Tahoe........... Dave Ramsey would not be very proud of us. I'm bummed because they don't make hummers anymore. I can't see myself driving anything else now. I drive in the rain in my bad boy... That's a big deal to me. I feel safe and comfortable in it........ No car payment is great!!!!! In mid car looking a huge storm hit San Antonio, flash flooding etc. we didn't want to get stuck in SA so we hurried out of the city. It was a good decision. Had we not left we would have been stranded in water probably in a new Tahoe. Ha! On the way home I felt good about not getting a new vehicle and decided to drive mine till it goes kapoot.

Cody and Jones spent the next day giving my ride a tune up and an oil change! I keep chanting " just because you can afford it doesn't mean you need it!!!!" Sometimes being an adult is no fun, ha

Cody is fitting in well at the new ranch and his job.... Jones is too! Jones has fallen in love with the deer and they seem to have mutual feeling towards him!

Babies should be dropping soon! We will be bottle feeding 100 fawns this summer! Cody, Jones and I will be doing lots of traveling this summer so we were lucky to get a few people in for the summer to strictly bottle feed and look over the fawns.....score!
