2 Seasons

Now that Autumn has arrived so have 2 other seasons... Hockey and Hunting.

This Saturday is the opening day of archery season in our area. I have been looking forward to this day for a bit now. I am not as ready as I would like to be, but nonetheless I am ready.

Tonight we are shooting our bows in the yard. Tomorrow we are going to to a 3D course for a little more practice. (Date night) Then we will be headed to the woods on Saturday. Still looking for a babysitter for G. 

I am ready for the quiet, peace and calmness of sitting in my treestand.

Another season that has gotten a bit more exciting is hockey. Our son has started learn to play hockey session.

 He and a couple of his buddies are playing too. 

My son is the little one.

Right now he is just doing the learn to play program. He has only been on skates 2 other times. Each time he used the little walker to keep him up. In November he starts actually the youth hockey league. So we will carting him back and forth, 2 days a week (Tuesday & Saturday). Right now we are gonna still have our Saturdays to archery hunt, but those 2 Saturdays during rifle season, we will have to see if we can get someone else to take him to practice. Next year, I guess Mommy and Daddy may have to alternate Saturdays (plenty of time to figure that out).

We are really excited about G playing hockey. We know it is a really expensive sport, but if he loves it then it will be worth it (and the only sport he will do).

I'll post more about our little guy's progress with skating.



Go FLAMES...

Sorry...

Sorry for the lapse in posts.... Life just got away from me last year. 

So here is a bit of a recap for you. 

Archery season was a bust for me. Twice while I was hunting, non-archery folks decided that it would also be a good day to target practice with guns. And of course scared off all the deer. I saw a bunch, but nothing that I was willing to take a shot at. 

Rifle season was a success. I got a doe on opening morning. It was a clean shot. She dropped about 60 yards from where I shot her. It was a cold rifle season with a good amount of snow.

The bucks eluded me. The only buck I saw all season was the one my husband shot during archery.

For my birthday I got a new Hoyt Charger, Vixcen package. I shot the video hunt league this winter with the new bow.

May, was good to my son. For his birthday he got a 4 wheeler. (Did I mention he is only 5.)

And the Easter Bunny was good to G-man too. He got a new puppy.

Meet Ginger our Basset Hound.

4 weeks old

Our boat dog!

My husband and I were working to much and didn't even get a chance to spring turkey hunt. :(

I am still knitting. I have been working on a 12 block afghan and a baby blanket for a friend who is having a baby next month. So I have to finish that baby blanket soon! 

With life so hectic this year, I have not even been able to go to any 3D archery shoots. After video hunt league ended, my new bow has just been snugly wrapped up in the case. But it is time to get out and get practicing for archery season.

We also have a couple new adventures starting. G-man starts kindergarten in a couple weeks. (Mommy is tearing up just writing about it.) And he will start a learn to ice skate program at the end of September and his hockey season will start in November! We are really excited about G-man playing hockey.

He is ready for hockey to start now. Tonight we are making a countdown to hockey!

Again, sorry for my absence. I plan to get back to writing on a regular basis. This blog will probably evolve some. Posting more about my knitting endeavors, my son playing hockey, and of course I will continue to post about hunting and fishing.
