My Hunter...

Safford, AZ - I'm still not quite sure where it is. I think SE Arizona. It looks really nice though. Jason said they would hike all day long for 3 days.

I am hunter hear me roar... I never really understood the basic instinct to hunt and conquer. I think it really is a guy thing. Jason took his 1st trip by himself since we've been married. The kids & I leave him every chance we get (for example we are going to Disneyland without him starting tomorrow) but this was his first time out. He went hunting with his cousin Jeremy Greer (his BFF - he'd kill me if he knew I called him that) They were drawn in the hunt and I was actually shocked that Jason got something on his first time out. Someone made a remark that they were hunting with canons and it was basically impossible for them to miss. Anyway, I had to crop the photo - believe it or not this was the least gruesome of all the pictures. I guess, 'tis the season. Just don't look too closely at the deer... makes me queasy.

Hey, every guy needs a BFF...especially manly ones who go hunting and get blood and guts everywhere! I'm sure glad he got to take pictures of his hunting. But I'm even gladder (like that?) that you found your camera so you can take a million pictures at Disneyland and I can live vicariously through you.

I just know that Ty would love that photo of the bloody dear (we can stand back and be queasy together). I hope that you had fun at Disneyland and that it was such a blast! Can't wait to see pics!

well, at least someone is doing their part to thin out the deer population. And while I'm not the hunting type, I can cheer from the sidelines. The less deer in the mountains, the less they'll jump in front of my Suburban!!
Hey Mare, I thought I had your header figured out but now I'm not so sure. Is it the Decepticon logo from Transformers?
Hope you had a great time in Disneyland!! Post pictures soon!

My sister's husband found the need to start hunting after the children were born. He too has a BFF that spends hours in the woods putting up with him. The recent kill was partially disgarded in the trash, my siter was given strict orders not to look in the garbage. I am curious.... I want to look. Hey, I wann see pics of disneyland...PWEEEZE!

our baby has "indoor plumbing"

Image
The nice thing about my Thursday appointment was knowing the end was in sight. Sunday morning 5:30am I was scheduled to be induced. So we cleaned our house like mad on Saturday and my kids spent the night at their grandparents. We were up and ready to go. Paige drew me this picture before we left. Right to left: New baby, me, nightstand with cookies & candy (does my daughter know me or what?) When we got there - I needed some serious help to get ready to have the baby. I was dilated to a 2 and my cervix was really thick. So they gave me some internal gels that caused me to contract, I went through a series of 2, which means 5 hours of hell. It hurt & was a crappy 5 hours - but then my best friend came along, the anesthesiologist and gave me the epidural. Then they started the pitosum , which caused additional labor to set on... I couldn't care less. I felt wonderful (I love modern conveniences) - I love the goofy pictures of me & Jason just waiting around (don't we...

Sunday's child...

Image
Gavin or Abbey ? Barring any miracles... our new baby is scheduled to arrive on Sept 21st - not sure the approximate time. But this would make Buchanan Baby #3 a Sunday's child. I always liked the days of the week child poem and it will be interesting to see if it plays out with the personality of our new addition. Does it apply to the already established members of our family? Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe and good and gay. Paige Paige was born on July 9 th - she is a Tuesday's Child. Paige is full of grace . Grace means: a charming or attractive trait or characteristic. A pleasing appearance. Ease and suppleness of movement or bearing. Paige is charming and has possesses numerous wonderful traits. J...

a Christmas wish answered... come September

Image
So anyone who hasn't heard yet... yes. The Buchanan's are going to have a baby come this September. I'm not sure how it happened (yeah. I get the mechanics... I do have 2 kids) - But it's just that Jason & I don't really see too much of each other and after an exausting day of work, school, being on call, preschool, doing homework, research for thesis, paying bills, sewing group, YW, and kids, all you really have energy for is sleep. So I really think I give credit to Paige for this one. She has put in countless hours praying, wishing, and begging for a baby for the longest time. All her hard work millions of wishes on stars and countless letters to Santa apparently paid off. (She's got a lot of clout with the bearded fella - so if you want something for next year you might want to bribe her early to include it in her letter(s)). That's it... I'm eight weeks and thrilled. We'll keep praying that everything goes smoothly & the baby is heal...
