Big Bucks, Big Boy

This is the year all deer breeders will remember! We finally got the ok to continue moving/transporting/releasing deer and going about our business. Cody worked 15 hour days every day last week and one night he didn't get in bed till 4:00am.....zzzzzzzz. Deer breeders only have a month to move deer they sold. Cody delivered 15 bucks last week.

After he darts them he scores them. This takes forever and a day. I always make Cody tell me what he thinks deer score before he scores them. He is always within 5 inches...... If he doesn't second guess himself. He guessed 210 on the top and it was 212.

He said 207 on this one......it was 207 on the dot!

Jones drove us to the deer barn one day. Cody cannot multi-task. Like, at all....... Cody got a phone call about 2.5 second after I took this pic. He was not even paying attention to Jones driving the whole time he was on the phone. Cody's a hand talker, he's got one hand on the phone, one hand in the air and Jones is driving...... We made it in one piece.

It is dove season!!!! Woohoo! They are my favorite.....to eat.....of course!

Deer Breeders Corp

This summer has been filled with lots of mini vacays for me and Jones while daddy mingles works. This weekend we are at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort in SA. It's almost as pretty as the JW Marriott plus only half the people!!!

Jones was beyond thrilled to get his own name tag, bag, shirt and pen. He felt important! Ha

We have swam our little hearts out this weekend. He went down his first adult slide all by himself. All 25ft of winding goodness! They have a lazy river that's a pool but it actually looks like a river!

Jones got the resting memo this weekend. When we are in our room he's been chilling with me in our robes. Not sure if he's worn out from school this week or misses his daddy cakes.

We enjoyed a movie out on a lawn. It was pretty comfy sprawled out during a movie and not having to sit in chairs!!

I wanted to hang out with Cody for a bit and visit. The deer breeders corp offered up a child room where u could drop your kids off. I was nervous dropping him off with strangers but the last night he wanted to go so I let him. They had pizza for dinner, made lots of fun things, had tattoos, had a magician had a zoo, petted a warthog, and sang his song "Kara Kara" during karaoke time. He had the best time and I got to enjoy adult time!! They also agave each kid a bible. It is the prettiest bible ever. I love the deer breeding community!

 

Back to the grind tomorrow. Next weekend starts hunting season. We will be busy with lots and lots of dove hunts!

10 years ago this sweet man asked me to be his wife. He took me on a little treasure hunt and we ended up in front of a game camera when he got on one knee.

This last year and a half has been the hardest. Spiritually and emotionally straight up draining. My joy started to fade. Sometimes things happen you have no control over but you still blame yourself. And in those times, in your lowest of lows you want to shut away the world and especially the person closest to you. This man anchored down, he straight up anchored down when he could have pulled away too. I can only pray that I have enough in me to anchor down when he needs me the way I needed him this last year. With lots and lots of prayer, many many tears, my joy is slowly but surely seeping back into my heart. So thankful God hand picked you for me. Just for me....... To do life with, to love whole-heartedly, uncondiontionally and so thankful for your heart that's made just for mine.

 

My love, my life, my everything good, thank you for always loving me.

First Day of preschool

Jones started school this year........ When did he get this big?

He has a great teacher and we love the school we decided on. They had a private school at the FBC that goes up to 8th grade.

We got a thumbs up after school!

We also got to move into our new house this week. I've been unpacking while Jones is at school and trying to get our house organized.

Cheers to a new school year and new beginnings and firsts!
