Russ's Buck 2015

After hunting through all the dedicated weapon seasons Russ landed a nice buck on the rifle hunt opener. It wasn't the one he'd been hunting and that he's had his eyes on but- he had great adventures in their hunting spot over the past few months trying and it was a great ending to his dedicated season. Thanks to Wade and Taylor for being there to help pack it out :)

Tanner's Homecoming

We were so excited to get our baby brother home in September of 2015! Tanner returned home from serving a mission in Peru and that meant our family was finally reunited for the first time in years!
Welcome Home Elder Olsen!

September 2015...

 Hunting season continues.... Russ didn't bag a deer on the archery hunt  but he had a great time and lots of adventures trying.

"I made a selfie stick and took a picture just for you of my mid day lunch and nap"

  Labor Day found us down in Sanpete County. We went shooting aka Russ and Jake site in their muzzleloaders. Grandma, Grandpa, and Nancy came with and we spent the day shooting on Orson's private property shooting range. I must admit my favorite part was watching my grandpa shoot his gun :)

SO CUTE! I love them.

 Shopping with Auntie Brittany.....

 September found me with lots of sick days! Luckily if I ate every 2-3 hours the "all day" sickness would subside, but I was exhausted all the time! It was not unusual if on my days off my biggest accomplishment for the day was making the bed, showering (some days blowed dried hair and makeup, other days not), and loading the dishwasher was all I accomplished. This was a particularly rough day that I spent on the couch, all day long.

 Yard, yard and more yard! I swear the work is never done! this was one of the last sections of the front yard that we had yet to finish with gravel. Our dirt down here is beasty so Russ rented this big rig to dig out the dirt in order to fill with gravel.

Russ surprised me by giving my car a facelift! He kidnapped my car while I was at work one night and lifted my car, installed new BA tires and wheels! I love it so much! He's seriously the best at surprises!

 Daddy doggy work day! We had to update our dogs on shots so since the Best Friends Animal Society is by Russ's work he took turns taking each of the dogs to work for the day. Needless to say his best buddy Crush was more than happy to have his dad to himself all day.

 With the upcoming Rifle hunt season we took off to go site in our rifles with Ladd and the boys on Sunday afternoon. I love my 270 and it's always a good time with Ladd and the boys! (and you too Leslie!! we missed you!)

August 2015 Happenings...

Besides selling our first home, and finding out we were pregnant with our first baby-these are a few other things that happened in August....

Calvin's Baby Blessing

Modeling my new gear Russ got me to go with my dirtbike

 Dirt Bike Date Night! We went riding up Squaw Peak one night when Russ got off work. It was the longest dirt bike ride I'd been on since getting my bike-but it was a blast and I loved every minute of it! I love having this hobby to share with my husband and one more thing to get us out into the great outdoors!

 Deer hunting season started! Russ was in his final year of dedicated hunter so he started scouting earlier and then began hunting for archery season in August. He is a crazy insane hunter and hiker! When he comes home and tells me that he got awakened from his afternoon nap by rocks falling-only to look over and there's mountain goats, I know he's hunting in an area I could definitely not get too. He's amazing!

One Saturday Russ took a break from hiking with mountain goats to take his wife along with him for the day. Even though we didn't see anything I had a blast just hanging out with the Mr. all day.

 Luke Bryan Concert!! Such an amazing concert and so much fun!!  Thanks for the date night Mr. Luke!... I mean Mr. Hudson :)
