PIG HUNTING BABY...Steph's first animal ever shot by a bow!!

Justin and I heading out bright and early for our pig hunt!!! We drove up past Tremonton where there were wild pigs and bighorn sheep we were hunting for!

Since I was the only girl with 5 men hunters all hunting they were all so gentlemanly and let me take the first shot at the first pig we saw. We snuck up to these 2 pigs that were running by the side of a river (which was partially frozen...the middle wasn't quite frozen but the edges were). We quietly crouched around the bend, I raised my bow, and let the arrow fly! PERFECT SHOT!!! Right where you wanna hit it....right in the vitals! The pig didn't drop right away, he actually ran out onto the river!! We were hoping he wouldn't go through the ice! Luckily he made his way back to the side without going through the ice and we claimed him!!I even helped clean out the pig! a girl who's not affraid of getting her hands dirty gutting a pig! (it just stunk a little that's all)
One of the other hunters, Will, who shot the mother-load! His pig was 500 lbs!! The one I shot was a little 300 pounder! Still, they were no little, pink, curly-tailed piggies....only black, hairy and ugly instead!!

DELTA TUNE-UP SOFTBALL TOURNEY!!!
we started the summer off strong by heading down to the annual delta softball tourney! Justin played on Jeff's 4life team with a bunch of the buddies! As usual the rest of the fam was there watching and cheering them on!!
Here Justin is in action hitting one of his many amazing hits!




Justin taking a little break after the game to sit with his little wifey...his #1 fan!! A "little break" is no exaggeration, they play one game after another, sometimes 8-9 games a day!

Me and Katie, my lil sista, watching and hangin out at the softball games, shock shock!! (I promise we do more things then just softball....ok, maybe just barely)

JUSTIN AND STEPH'S TRIP TO TEXAS!!!!!
We took a trip down to Texas to visit Chad and Britt and Nolan! They were great hosts taking us and telling us all the fun spots to hit while we were there!!!

We for sure had to go to a real TEXAS RODEO!!! We had FRONT row seats! It was amazing..the bulls and horses would run right up next to the fence in front of us and flip dirt all over us!! It even got in our drinks and snacks we had on our laps!!





We definitely wanted to hit the famous Texas Zoo!!! I've never seen so many wild animals!! Lions, gorillas, kudus, hipos, giraffes, cheetahs, wolves and many many more!!














We all went to a Harlem Globe Trotters basketball game!!! They put on a great show--very entertaining!











Justin, Nolan and I hangin out at the house!! Reading books, playing games, and chitchattin' it up!


















On the airplane heading to Texas!!!! I LOVE traveling, especially with Justin!!!
many of the fun dates and memories made by Just and Steph!
B-I-N-G-O!!!!! Bingo baby!!! Who knew it could get so intense!! Those old ladies don't go easy on the rest of us, we had to definitely hold our own!!!

more softball watching!!!

What???....Justin and Steph at the softball field?? Never! :) Taking a trip to St George/Mesquite for a weekend get-away!!! Watching softball, swimming, playing bingo and all you can eat buffets!!!


Justin took Steph up past Tremonton to go pig hunting!!! He was a great great great guide to help her shoot her first WILD PIG ever!!! One of their first and many hunting trips they'll take!!



Don't think the snow will stop Justin and Steph from camping!!! They headed up with the Richins and friends/family for a weekend camping trip up in Heber! Snowshoeing, tubing, and playing games all night long was an awesome way to start out the Christmas break!
