May I Have Your Autograph, Please?

Last week Allen took Gabby to meet the legendary Jim Shockey. Now I realize that most of you won't know his name, it's not like he is in the news headlines everyday, but he is on TV every week. On the Sportsman's Outdoors Channel. Jim and his wife Louise, from Team SHE Safari, were in Rogers signing autograph's and Allen took Gabby as she too dreams of being an avid hunter someday. Not that Brian doesn't, it's just that he's still pretty woolly and just the thought of him standing in line politely, wore everyone out. Makensie? she's not too sure she's comfortable with the whole idea of hunting yet. So Gabby won the bid to go.



Allen and Gabby were both so impressed with how friendly both Jim and his wife were. Not that he expected them to be rude, he just didn't think we would get a chance to actually talk with them.



Here is a picture of Gabby winning over two of her favorite celebrities.

That is stinkin' awesome. When my oldest gets TV time, he watches the outdoor channel. Brett and I find it so funny! So, we may be the only one's within shouting distance that know what you are talking about! Hee hee!

And, BIG news. We now have a set of antlers. No, no, we didn't gain them by the thrill of a hunt. Rather on a walk...There they were, a set antlers attached to a bit of skull, but that's easily taken care of. But, YEA for antlers. He's happy!

My Becca, who is almost 5, loves hunting with her daddy! She had asked for a pink gun for Christmas and we were not too keen on getting a 4 yr old a gun, not until she is older. Well, her uncle, also an avid hunter got wind of it and bought her a child sized pink Cricket (.22 riffle ???) Anyway, she was so happy. I'm not happy about it and it's safely locked up in the gun safe. She has been warned she does not touch it unless her Daddy is with her and told that it is NOT a toy. UGH!

A-congratulations on the antler find. Any antlers are pretty rare and to find both of them even more so. Exciting. Just wait til you see my living room next. There has been some updated decorating that I'm not sure you are going to like.

Jennifer,

Gabby really wants a pink gun too. But no luck so far. She is getting a small .22 for her birthday but not pink. :)

Suzaqnne,

I think my BIL found the pink youth gun at Wal-Mart. I've seen the pink camo ones at Bass Pro Shops and Academy Sports, but her's is solid pink.

Holy Cow! Hunting? I'm much too squeamish to even think about it.
Pink sounds great... on tools, maybe.
I have no idea who you are talking about, but YEEAAA-- still very happy for your darlin' girlie! :-)

Devotion for Baby Shower

I am so sad to miss out on this opportunity to get to celebrate LeAnne and the gift of this baby boy. I was asked to share a devotional and while honored, I also know my wisdom and experience pales in comparison to many ladies that are in LeAnne's life. Especially the example of her mom Judy. I am so thankful for their close relationship and friendship and the instruction that her parents and Josh's parents give to them to seek after the Lord. The is no greater accomplishment. My own parenting has been a constant learning process and with each new child I realize how little I only thought I knew. I pray for less of me and my weaknesses so that HE can fill and lead our family. Devotional: Live Fully in the moment. While it is easy to love a sleeping, snuggling, cooing baby. Kisses on warm fuzzy heads & velvet skin. Chubby little fingers, toes and thighs. That breathtaking love so deep that our hearts hurt as they sigh and find utter fulfillment resting on our chests. ...

Highway Horror

We were on our way back to college after a fun weekend trip to a friends home. The windows were down to allow at least the breeze in since it was scorching hot outside and this car had no air-conditioning, in fact, we were lucky it ran at all. And with the windows down, we actually had a nice cross breeze with the holes in the floor board.We were singing to whatever song we could find on the stations in the middle of Kansas on some little mostly unknown highway. It was the quickest route between Manhattan and Wichita. There are many things in life to fear and many things to fear in the flat lands . I had been in Wichita on two separate occasions when there were tornadoes , but this threat was even worse. On a long stretch of quiet highway we enjoyed the beautiful sights of the pastures and sky. There were several tractors working in the fields and mowing in the ditches. Up ahead of us, there was something covering the entire road for as far as we could see. As we neared, it lo...

Just Silly Random Sayings

In my earlier days when I worked at a night club, I had a pin on advertising " Tequilla Rose" liquor. Some guy says, " Tequilla Rose. I like your name." I decided right then that if I ever ended up needing a porn star name (let's pray not) that this will be my name. While eating outside at Braums in the picnic area. I glanced over to see Gabby was on top of the table dancing like some girl on Soul Train...when did she see that?! and Makensie was taking pictures with her camera. Let's pray also that none of my children ever need a tag name. Conversation with Gabby over last set of shots: her: Why do I have to have them? me: to keep you from getting really sick and die or end up paralyzed. her: What is paralyzed? Me: when you can’t walk ever again and have to be in a wheel chair. her: (silent thinking) me: (silent pat on the back for the ultimate scare method approach) her: ok , but will you push me in the wheel chair? Brian didn't want to eat supper ...
