Put Kristyn on the plane today. She is heading back to work.... In China. Ashley and I had fun today too!
GPS and GeoCaching
We tried to find a GeoCache. We found where the cache was.... but could not find it.... So we are going to try going back tomorrow. Got a GPS for Christmas and am still trying to learn how to use it. It was fun. I load a couple more in the GPS memory and will try them.
Ritt and I are going to try getting out on Saturday... First day of the new year.... Only a couple of days left in the hunting season until next fall.

Kristyn is Ok! Get a Helmet!
Kristyn just returned from the ER. She has a consussion.... She was in the hospital for the first time since she was born!... Pretty amazing for a 23 year old! She is heading back to China on Thursday!... I am going to miss her. But I am very proud of her. She has become a very beautiful young lady ( Dads never brag about their kids!). She is live in a country (China) far from home (Idaho). The Doctor wrote her a prescription for a HELMET!!! Ok all you skiers and snow boarders..... Get and WEAR a HELMET!
Kristyn is in the Hospital
Today was not good. Denise and I woke up this morning both not feeling great. So we decided to stay home and let the "kids" go skiing. Mike, Abby, Kristyn and Ashley went skiing.
Denise and I stayed home and worked around the house. We did take a nice walk with all the labs. We have Buddy, Pastor David's yellow lab, and our three Keely, Paige (both black ) and Belle (Choc). Belle is learning to heal. It is going to take some more work, but she is starting to get the idea.
We were going to start the pizza. When the kids arrived home at 3:45. Kristyn had taken a pretty bad fall. She hit her head pretty hard. She has vomited twice. So we called Lee. Denise, Kristyn and Ashley just left for the emergency room. I am pretty sick today... So I am at home waiting to hear. Abby called and she is heading for the hospital too. I looks like a pretty bad consussion. She was pretty upset. She was starting to get the hang of this boarding thing. I am hoping this shows Ashley that she need to get a helmet. I am sure that it would have helped Krissy. I am praying for her. I probably sure have gone with them but really starting to not feel great... Maybe both of us would be in the hospital.

I Missed?
Today was a good day. Ritt and I and ASHLEY!!!!!! went hunting!... We took the ambush and ran down river to the the mouth. We jumped a drake mallard... But I missed... got a lot of feathers but no bird used the 28 guage..... Only bird we saw. We did try out the new Golden Eye dekes. They worked perfectingly. They will complete unroll themselves and upright themselves too! Easy to put out... Just attach the weight and drop them out of the boat!... Really cool. Amazing....
Spending time with Ashley.
It was great to have Ashley along... We had a great time. I was really glad she came. I have missed being able to spend time with her. Hopefully we will be able to spend some more time with her before she goes back to school. Tomorrow we are going to go skiing as a family. I have had a couple of good days so I am keeping my hopes up that the new meds have began to help. Will keep my fingers crossed.

Home for Christmas!
Well, it has been awhile! This nasty sickness I have has been getting me down. Trying to get past it and on with life!
Ashley arrive home on Friday (December 17th) and the quiet house is a thing of the past! But it is great to have her home. She finished finals... got and 96% in Chem Lab! AWESOME! Pretty darn good for a first semester Freshman at College! I am real proud of her. She is becoming quite the young lady. But she is still busy busy... Pretty amazing kid!
Kristyn arrives from China today... She will be staying with Grammie until tomorrow and then on to Home (here) at 11am tomorrow... It will be great to have her home too! She spent the last week in Thailand with Grammie... She got to ride an elephant! The stories will be great.
Haven't been hunting because of beening sick. But Ritt and I did make the trip over to Steve's Hardware in Nyssa to buy next years license. So we are going to hunt! I am off work for the next couple of weeks... So plan on get out and hunting on the days that I feel good. I seem to have good days and bad days.... Last nite was pretty bad...and 7 on the scale. Trying to be very very careful of what I eat. Chicken and rice seem to be the key... I can eat them.

Belle of the Ball
Notice: New Female has joined the Family!
Belle
2 year old Choc. Lab... She is a sweet heart. A little hyper... She has been raised by herself, so having Kiley and Page (Black labs) to play with is MAJOR fun!...
She loves to retrieve! and will do it for hours if my arm will last!
She is a service dog. (trained to be a companion for a disabled person). She just had her first litter 10 weeks ago. Labradoodles (Standard Poodle with Labrador). VERY VERY cute puppies! and smart.... Going to breed her again and keep one pup. Others will sell for service dogs with money going to the organization... Its kinda like Guide Dogs for the Blind.
I Really think that the cross may have some hunting skills too!... Poodles (Standard size) were originally used for hunting... Time will tell.
Belle's only fault at this point is that she has a very thin coat... Has been an inside dog.. Does not have the double coat of a true Lab... So she has been sleeping beside the bed.... We keep you all posted!

Life Stinks .... At least in the last couple of weeks
So I have not been on for a while. Life has turned for me. I have been feeling pretty rotten for the past couple of weeks. After several trips to the doctor, they have kinda finally figured out what I have. It is called IBS. If you want to know more google IBS and READ. Needless to say, I have been pretty down. It has really put a halt to my hunting this year. I would not wish this condition on any one. The doctors have given me a bunch of drugs... Some have helped others have done nothing except cost me and my insurance company money.
Have missed a ton of work and am really behind. Which doesn't help my stress level at all.
It was great to have Ashley home for Thanksgiving. We got her a new coat... so she could stay warm in Spokane.
Talk to my Mom tonite... She is trying to help with IBS but really hasn't. But at least it was nice to talk with her.
Kristyn and she are going to Thailand and Bejiing for Christmas break but Krissy will be home for Christmas. It will be great to have the whole family at home. Well it is late and I am hoping to go to work in the morning.... if I can get my guts to settle down tonite.
later!
