Travel, Family, More Christmas celebrations!!

Oh yeah. My first rack buck was a 7 pointer, 147 pounds!! I am excited.
Playing Nertz from 8 years old to 70 all on the same table!! More fun and NOISE, than I can describe!!

Griffin has become obsessed with hunting!! I guess I will have to start hunting a little more. Darn!!






Bailey is becoming a gorgeous young lady (with a little pre-teen attitude!! LOL)
Wonderful Memories.....
We got to extend our Christmas celebration into 2009, as we left on Dec 30th to spend a week with Donna's family in Jackson Al. The trip down was good. We got there late on the 30th. New years eve was great!! We woke up and were just lazy all morning and early afternoon visiting with family!! Grif, myself, and granddaddy Bill left for the woods around 3 to sit on a patch in hopes of Grif getting his first deer. Well that is exactly what happened!! I heard my boy shoot in a patch about 300 yards away from me, and I started getting excited to see what he had shot, since I had not seen a single deer!! But about 5 minutes after he shot, a doe comes in the patch I was sitting in, followed in another 5 minutes by the 7 pointer in the above picture!! Grif got his first deer, and I got my first rack buck, within 15 minutes of each other!! WOOHOO!!!
We opened presents, ate too much, got in the woods often, played cards, played WII, watched football, wow, I'm glad I came back to work to rest!!! LOL
It was a week full of incredible memories that our family will never forget!!
