Turkey Hunting, Spring, B-day weekend..

I’m am SO PROUD to say the picture you are seeing is TRUE! Ha. I have been studying about turkeys for the pass month and have been anticipating on opening day, March 15th for a while now. Well It finally got hear and all that hard work paid off. Friday morning I woke up early to head out into the woods behind my Dad’s house (by myself). I was in luck that morning, because to my surprise I had turkey’s gobbling all around me as I sat their quietly. It was the most exciting and amazing hunt I’d ever been on ya’ll. I was in and out of the woods by 8 o’clock with my first Jake (small Gobbler). I even got to film my own hunt with my new Kodak Playsport my husband bought me for Christmas, you can hear everything but you can’t see anything. Ha. I forgot to turn the camera when I shot my turkey, not bad for my first filmed turkey hunt. :) I was so tickled to tell everyone that I had just shot my first turkey EVER by MYSELF. It was an amazing feeling and I’m hoping to get a bigger one next hunt!! Okay so this probably didn’t make a bit of since to all you none hunters who read my blog so just ignore this paragraph of my post and move on. Ha. ;)

We had BEAUTIFUL weather all weekend, in the 80’s and we sure didn’t waste one minute of daylight from being outside that’s for sure.

Friday night Hunter and I went to a Birthday party he was invited to by his friend Conner at Chuck-E-Cheeses. This was the first time he had ever been to Chuck-E-Cheeses so lets just say he was in shock of everything. Ha. You should have seen the HUGE smile on his face when we went in there. Priceless. :) The kids had a blast! We ended up leaving around 8:30 and Hunter was pooped (tired). Thanks Jennifer/Conner for inviting us!!!
Saturday Hunter and I went to my sister-n-laws house while Daddy & Granddaddy “tried” hunting Turkeys all day. Ha. (they didn’t get one)…. I helped cleaned out Tammy’s pool, drained it, leveled dirt underneath then filled it back up. The kids played in the mud/water the whole time while we tended to the pool. Hunter had a blast playing in all that water.

cleaning the pool butt naked.. .Ha!
Sunday we went to church. Came home, had our evening nap. Ha. Then we went to Tammy’s that evening to eat dinner for the birthday lady, my Mother-n-Law. Her birthday was Saturday but we celebrated Sunday. We had a great evening with family and my mother-n-law got some great gifts.
Happy Birthday Katherine!!! :)

What a weekend right?!? I have to say this was the best weekend for me yet! Can’t wait for other weekends like this to come!!!
