Well we started off the season with a bang (literally)! We had a great opening weekend. We had some friends/hunters from Arizona and Minnesota! They harvested 72 birds. They limited each day fairly early, which gave the guys plenty of time to hang out and play pool. Between meals and regrouping the girls had some time to relax in the hottub, which was great! Here are some pics of the weekend!
We awoke this morning with a beautiful surprise! The ground was covered in white and every thing looked so beautiful. Mike was on the ball and captured some nice pictures! I love the first snow, it was so peaceful. There was no wind and the big snow flakes fell so softly! Karsyn was so cute, she ran into my bedroom and said "Mommy you have to come see this there is a surprise out side!" Alls I could think about was 5 more minutes of sleep, so she said "I will make you a deal, I will go get dressed and then you can come see!". So she got all ready and came and got me to see the beautiful snow! It was a great way to wake up this morning!
The tooth fairy visited our house night before last due to Karsyn loosing her first tooth. After a week worth of working on it she finally got it out! She even managed to pull it all by her self! She awoke to find $2 under her pillow which she was very excited about, even though the Tooth Fairy didn't comply with her wishes. Karsyn had written a letter that she put with her tooth requesting $11 for the exchange of the tooth. Regaurdless she was tickled pink, and hey it never hurts to try for the bug bucks! The poor tooth fairy may go broke at the Dorris household as Karsyn discovered that her other front tooth is loose last night as well. The theme song for this Christmas may be "Alls I Want for Christmas is my 2 Front Teeth!"
Kaiden had his 9th birthday party with his friends this weekend. The party turned out great! We went to the Area 81 Crop mazes, the theme was based on Area 51 in Vegas which has to do with UFO's, Crop circles, and Aliens! They had a blast in the mazes and we took the bus with 11 boys all of whuch spent the night! There was 3 mazes with 6 check points in each maze, there was also a secret check point. We split them into 3 groups and sent them out. Mike went with one group, and I ended up going in with another group. They had tried on their own and got a little frustrated so I helped them out! When we got back home we had icecream and presents, then the boys snuggled in for a movie. They watched the movie signs! Which also goes along with the Alien theme!
We had a great weekend! It was Mike's 28th Birthday on Sunday and we went to my families lake cabin on Roy Lake. It was very windy but it was so nice to just get away and relax! We got there Friday evening and some friends of ours came and spent the weekend with us as well. The guys went out for a while on Sat to try and fish but the wind was so bad it wasn't much fun, My friend Jenny and I stayed in the cabin, had a glass of wine and enjoyed our time together. Sunday they all left for home. We went in to see Gramma Great and we had a wonderful visit with her! We went back to the cabin made some supper and played sequence with the kids. We then watched a movie and went to bed! This morning we slept in a bit, then cleaned the cabin and headed for home!
