Squirrels and Dinosaurs win by a landslide

If you read my previous blog you know that my Mighty Hunters-- Kevin, Troy and Kael--attended an all day squirrel hunting tournament (yes I said squirrel hunting tournament) on Saturday.  The three of them got skunked (or in this case dare I say it--squirreled).  Anyway, my other two grandsons, Mazy age 6 and 2 year old Bourne aka Bo to the rest of the world and Boo to his Grandma Katy, called to see how they did.  Mazy wanted to know if they got any squirrels and Bo wanted to know how many dinosaurs they shot.  Ahh, I love that kid.  The total squirrel tally for all the participants was 97 squirrels.  Holly cow, too bad they weren't after deer since Guthrie County has an abundance of them and they all run around looking for my car so they can hit it.   I spent a very peaceful weekend organizing, scrapbooking, cooking and reading.  It's so rare that I get a weekend to myself---and kids, don't for a minute think that I don't love it when you come!

My First Blog Ever

Here I am taking a crack at doing what both of my daughters do so well----blogging.  I've been reading their blogs for quite a while and enjoying them so I've decided that it's time for me to get into the game also.  I'm a full time working wife, mother to four really great grown kids with a total of seven, soon to be eight fantastic grandkids.  I keep busy just keeping up with all of them but in my spare time I spend a lot of time reading, cooking and scrapbooking.  I got a Nook for Christmas from my friends at work and now I am never without reading material.  I also like to garden and make the occasional trip to a casino with Grandpa Pig (aka my husband, Kevin).  This weekend he is off to an all day squirrel hunt and I plan to do some serious scrapbooking.  At least it sounds like the weather should be good for Daniel Boone and friends.  I think Troy and his son Kael are going also so it's a multi generational hunt.
