Awesome Fun

Having a husband who works ALL the time is hard. We never get any family vacations, or get-aways or anything like that. Either I go by myself or we don't go anywhere. Yesterday I had finally found an activity that Sexy Farmer was willing to take the day off and GO WITH US!!!

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have 9 feeding grounds for Elk during the winter months. One of the locations in North Powder offer wagon tours where they take you down within feet of the Elk. There were probably 100 or so Elk there and they said that if you wait until after the tours end, more come down later to eat after people are nowhere to be seen.
Lilli got to help drive the wagon. She was super excited. I was sitting in the back with Sexy Farmer and Hoss so I didn't get a picture, but she was super cute. Hoss loved every minute of the fun. He kept saying "DEER!! DEER!!" The Elk were a lot smaller that what I had envisioned in my head.
There was a 6 Point Buck, that they said was the Alpha Male, eating but he would never get in the right position to take a picture. But I did get a shot of this 4 Point.After we were done, Sexy Farmer made the comment - I think we should make this an annual family event. WHAT?!?! WOOHOO - I'll take it!! He also said that he's ready for Elk Hunting.

Birthday Gifts

For Relief Society at Church we are going to make each Sister in the Ward an Apron for their birthday. We asked a sister in our Ward to be in charge of this activity, but she just had hand surgery and isn't able to start them yet. I got to be the one to make the apron's for the January Birthdays. Do you just LOVE them?!?! I do!!


Thanks, Michelle, for the pattern!!!
