Hunting rabbits..

Wes wanted to go hunting for rabbits last night. We had a great time. The kids crawl around in the truck with me driving and Wes and Madison stand in the back on the look out. Wes saw a few rabbits and they were very spooked. Wes was sad he didn't get to shoot one with his bow. We did see 2 horny toads. Madison spotted the first one and was excited. Her and Hannah both held it for a minute. Connor wanted nothing to do with it. Wes put it on his shirt and Connor was trying to back away. I took a bunch of cool sunset pictures with my phone. I think I took about 50 of the sunset. It was just so pretty and my phone did a dang good job.It was fun to get out of the house and have some family time.

Wes & Hannah made up a song last year to sing while we hunt for rabbits. I will see if I can get her to sing it on video and put it on here. It is so funny!

Sorry I can't get any of the pictures to rotate! Ugh! Oh well!

Connor being a very good little boy. (This is when we first started.)


I love this picture of Wes's silhouette & the sunset.

Wes with the Baby toad.
Connor hated this darn toad.


Wes & his friend Travis Grant fished the tournament in Idaho last weekend and took 3rd place. They fish at Salmon Falls Reservoir near Twin Falls, ID (I think). Congrats to them. They were so excited. They took 3rd and only brought in 3 fish the whole tournament. Does that tell you how hard the fishing was? Wes said it rained the whole time and they froze their butts off. But I know they both had a blast and they can't wait for next year. Last year they took 1st, so hopefully next year they can regain that title. They won plaques and Travis got one for big fish on Sunday. They won enough money to cover their trip plus some. So they are both very Happy!

The rabbit hunting and horny toads outing looks like fun. I'm surprised the girls are not freaked out about the little toads, I'm sure Connor will be all about it next year! And nice job on the sunset pics! Very pretty.

How come Malisa did not let the horny toad crawl all over her?
