Been a while




Well its been a while since I put anything up - mostly because Nicole does a better job of telling whats going on with our family. We got our family reunion pictures and had a blast looking at those and reliving those days. It seems like every week there is a point where one of the boys will start talking about one of the things that we did.
So this weekend was the scrapbook convention and so I got to hang out with the kids. On Saturday morning there was a youth water fowl hunting expo at Farmington Bay put on by the Delta Waterfowl Association. It was all morning and when you got there you registered for a drawing at the end of the event and they gave every kid a duck call, and then there were classes on how to use the duck call, air boat rides, booths on retriever dogs, etc. At one point I noticed that the reed in Afton's duck call was taped down, so I took it to the main table and told them. They told me to take it to the guy that was teaching the duck calling class, and he took it apart and said Oh this is a special one and took the tape off that had a slip of paper and said you just one a duck call that's worth about $100.00. This call is one that is used by callers in competitions. Anyways the kids had a good time and they got a couple of decoys and a call out of the gig. I took the kids to entertain them, but I also went as a rookie to the sport trying to learn some things myself.

It was fun to go to the Dr.s and see that we are having another boy. I am excited about that and so now it's waiting until January until he gets here. Any suggestions on names?

That's about the only thing I have to share right now, maybe in a few weeks I'll have some more news depending on how the hunts go, but for now, that's about it.
