Gone Huntin'

So every year before Thanksgiving and Christmas the Ramsay family has a holiday of their own: The Deer Hunt!! We always have sooo much fun. This year Kris and I both drew out so it made the weekend even more fun. The whole family was there other than my sis-in-law Shiloh (we missed ya so much Shy) but luckily my brother-in-law, Kasey brought her kiddos down so we were happy about that. I posted tons of pictures of all our fun so enjoy:)

Bruce and Sadie. These two dogs are so funny. They love each other so muchThis is my little nephew Judd gettin ready to go out hunting. We love that kid!!

And this is my nephew Korbin. He has one of the sweetest little boys I know. On the second morning he came and cuddled on the couch with me for a little while. How sweetThis is my nephew, Kaden, and Karter. Karter loves hanging out with him so much and acts just like him

And these are our two princesses Madison and my niece Stestson. These girls are two little divas. They make me laugh so hard

Me and my hubby in our sexy orange hunting outfits!!

My beautiful niece Stetson

Madison was so tired

I asked them to pose for me and this what I get from KarterOne afternoon we were driving around hunting and Karter fell asleep in the back of the truck with his helmet on

Who's dirtier: Karter or the dog??? I think Karter

These kids are so dang cute. They started a club and they had daily club meetings and Kaden was the club president.

This is my hubby's deer. Nice huh!!

My sister in law Tabitha all tuckered out after a long day hunting.

And this is my deer. Not quite as big as my hubby's but it will do:)

Every year we let the kids carve pumpkins and then we light them at night. They look so cool

I love this picture. All the kids riding in the back of the truckMy hot hubby:)

We were trying to take pictures and the only way Karter would smile and pose is if Uncle Kasey paid him money. Smart kid!!

The first night we go to the cabin Karter cut his eye open. He was a trooper though. We ended up going to the ER in Kanab and got it all fixed up. And my sister works in the ER so we got to visit with her in the middle of the night. Karter was happy his Aunt Alicia was able to doctor him up.

This is a yearly tradition. My brother in law Kasey takes a picture with all the kids. It is fun to see how much they all change each year

This is Kasey's bronco. It is the ultimate hunting vehicle. So fun:)

Another cute picture of all the kidsRiding 4-wheelers

Another pumpkin carving picture. I just realized how out of order all my pictures are. Oh well

Uncle Kole helped the kids with their "club fort" so they made him president for a day. How lucky was he???

Madison and Korbin. Cute little cousins

And this is how we started out the weekend. Karter in the ER in Kanab. I had to take a picture cause this was his first trip to the ER. Surprising i know.

So overall it was a fun weekend and we cant wait till next year!! Thanks Ramsay family for an awesome weekend. We love you guys :)

What we've been up to

So I have been a huge slacker lately. We have been staying busy though. We have also been doing some fun things but of course I always forget my camera:( We were in the Peach Days parade a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun and there were TONS of floats. I think there were 78 all together. We also went and watched my nephew play his first football game in Cedar. It was fun watching him. He did such a good job. I really wish I would have remembered my camera. I am posting some random pictures of Madi and Karter along with our latest accomplishment: OUR YARD!! It's getting really close to being complete. My hubby (who is the greatest in the world) finished the sprinkler system last week so on Monday we had our turf delivered. We are so excited. We have some work left to do. Our next task will be the covered patio but we will probaby wait a couple of months to do that. I really need to thank my hubby for everything. He has done a great job putting my ideas into reality!! I love the way it has all turned out:)

I walked into my bedroom the other day and this is what I found:) Yep he fell asleep just like that

This is a picture of our back yard

Another picture of the back yard

And this is the front yard! Let me just tell ya it is sooo nice FINALLY having a yard.

And last but certainly not least here is Madi and her sweet little kitty, Pixie!! How cute:)

Demolition Derby!!!

Okay..so this post is a little late but its better late then never, right?? A few weeks ago it was the Washington County Fair and they have a Demolition Derby on the closing night of the fair. My manager at work and my hubby decided to get a car ready and and go crash it. In the Washington County Fair my manager is the one who drove the car and Kris and a couple of other guys were in the pit crew. They had so much fun and did surprisingly well for never doing it before and putting the car together in a matter of weeks. Some of the guys take months to get their cars ready.

Well the car survived so we headed off to the Iron County Fair and that is when my hubby got his chance to drive. He was so excited. It was all he could talk about. We probably had the smallest car there but Kris didn't care. He went out ready to CRASH!! He was doing pretty good...until a car came from the oppisite side of the arena and hit him HARD!! I am not going to lie, I was scared. But my hubby survived. The same cant be said about the car. Kris ended up with some bruises, but he loved every minute of it and is already planning on doing it next year. He has plenty of helpers now that all of his friends seen how much fun he had. I asked him to take a couple months off and maybe start on his car after Christmas...we'll see!!

P.S. And in case you were wondering I did feel like a redneck but it was still a lot of fun and I was so happy for my husband. He really enjoyed himself and that's all the matters, Right??
