2009 Deer Hunt Successful!

I have to toot my horn and say that I am so proud of my husband. He really has a talent for hunting and him getting his 4th deer in 5 years maybe isn't just luck. I dont think so anyways! LOL

These boys are crazy and left the house on Friday night at midnight to go on a 6 hour hike to the top of a mountain. This year was extra neat because he actually shot it with a muzzle loader. Which means he has to load it every shot so you really only get one shot at it. This is his first year doing a muzzle loader hunt. He shot it around 9:30am and then had to spend the whole day dragging this huge deer down the mountain. My brother-in-law went with him to help him which was so nice. Max said he wouldn't have gotten the deer down without him.

GOOD JOB BOYS!

Gracie just kept saying "Cool Daddy," she actually loved the deer and started crying when Max left to take it to the butcher because she thought we were going to eat it???? Weird. She must have it in her blood from her daddy.

She loved petting him and touching his antlers. Again, WEIRD

Kelton was so proud of his dad!

Girls night out at Granna's House!

I love my Aunt Maymee....
Mama gave everyone pedicures...Gracie loved it!

Gracie's First Dance Class

No one said it was going to be this BAD...

No one said it was going to be this long of a recovery...or maybe it is just Grace. I swear this has been such a rough week. I want my baby girl back. She just isn't herself, she is tired, onrie, doesn't sleep, and just wants to be walked. I swear I lost another 10 pounds carrying her around! She has her good moments when the meds kick in and her best friend Kaitlyn or brother comes over. Other than that it is a pretty sad site. I looked back in her throat and it looks aweful in there...POOR THING

Today is a week since the surgery so I am hoping for things to start turning around this next week. Sorry to all my friends that I have been MIA for the last week...I am just busy with this little one 24-7!

Love ya,

Linds

Gracie's Surgery

I have no clue why I am up right now doing a post on this thing, I am literally falling asleep sitting up...LOL. I have been up all night going for wagon ride after wagon ride for my sick princess.

The surgery went really good, and it was so fast. Her tonsils were very large and her adenoids even larger. The doctor is curious to see if this takes away that little groggy voice of hers since they were so huge. I love her voice so I dont want it to go :( She had a way hard time waking up and of course I cried. Overall she is doing pretty good but we are only on day 1.

Grandma brought Grace a price doll before the surgery in the waiting room.

Way too happy to be having surgery...she had no clue what was coming :(

BEFORE PICTURE

Daddy & Granna

There were two other blonde hair, blue eyed little girls in the waiting room in matching jammies...they were so cute.

AFTER PICTURE

Daddy comes and saves the day with a tinkerbell hair doll & lots of loves!

Playing in her wagon...the wagon idea is the best idea EVER! She didn't get out of that thing. We went for walk after walk and it would put her to sleep. She loved it!

This girl would not go to sleep so daddy went and got warm milk. Well Gracie loves to pretend like she is a baby so Max got the nurse to get him a bottle for her. Then she begged and cried for me to wrap her up, stand up and hold her bottle so she can act like a baby. She was so huge it was so hard to hold her one handed! LOL

Gracie's Pre-Operating Class and some other happenings...

Gracie & I went up to Primary's for a pre- operating class they do for the little ones to get them familiar with everything they are going to do and see. It seriously was so good! The nurses were amazing with her and she took in so much even for being two. I think it is such an awesome idea to let them see what is coming so they aren't so caught off guard. She got to bring a doll home that she loves and all she has been talking about is the doctors things. So cute!

Gracie trying out the mask...

Working on her doll...playing doctor

Daddy was teasing her and was cracking up at the faces she was pulling...so he grabbed the camera and teased her and took pictures which made her even more upset. Can I say I have 3 kids???

Our Kids...they love their doggy

Our Little Man Jade...aka Jayden Tyler Webster

My best friend finally had her little boy! She was a champ and pushed him right out in no time...well easy for me to say. But, she did do it with flying colors and a few hours after his arrival she was walking around and acting like she didn't just have a baby. If I ever have another one I have alot to live up too! I should've taken a picture of the toy box Gracie, and I made for the newest addition. I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. We love you Mand & Fam!!!
