My First Hunt

Justin and I both had mule deer tags in the Ruby Mountains near Wells, Nevada. My dad, Nate and Eric came to help us get our deer. It was a lot of hiking, alot of glassing, but it was worth it. Hiking up to the deer, being sneaky, quiet, and setting up to shoot was exciting. Shooting the deer gave me an adrenaline rush. Nate helped me get set up to shoot. Justin was going to back me up if I missed. I missed my first two shots, but the buck didn't go anywhere so Justin didn't have to back me up. Nate put his coat underneath my gun to steady my shot. I got him on the third shot. It was so thrilling... (and I never thought shooting a deer could be fun) Then right after we got my deer, Justin got his on the same ridge but opposite direction of where my buck was. He got a much bigger buck than me. My dad and brothers said my first two shots were practice because I had never shot that gun before. My deer's left antler has a weird horn and is a bit deformed. I think my deer probably got teased growing up. My dad said "It's good for your first buck" haha Thanks for helping me get my first deer Eric, Dad, Justin, and Nate. I had a great time and now Eric and I have a freezer full of meat. :)

This is my deer. Justin's is the 5x3 and mine is the "3x narly"

I Miss My Little Bro.

Anzanio Anderson... aka Jerm, is doing well in Italy. His good friend Fabio got baptized and he is now receiving the new convert lessons. Fabio told Jeremy that he is very grateful for the Gift of the Holy Ghost and can feel the strength and blessings of having the Holy Ghost with him at all times.

Summer Projects!!!

This is the rug that I am braiding. It is getting pretty close to being finished. I'm so happy that my grandma taught me how to braid rugs because it truly is a lost art and now I can always have a bit of Grandma Baugh with me. I originally started this rug with intentions of making it big enough for a whole family to kneel and pray on... we'll see if I can get it that big. If not, at least Eric and I are a small family right now:)

I am also making a dress form. This next semester I will be taking a pattern making class. In this class we will learn how to use a dress form and learn how to drape. I am pretty excited. Dress forms cost over 200 dollars, but my professor showed me how to make a personalized one for the cost of two old t-shirts and a couple rolls of duck tape:)

MacKay Wedding Dance

Davis and his groomsman choreographed this dance for Becca the night before their wedding. It is hilarious. Congratulations Becca and Davis. We love you. Love the Ringers
p.s. I wasn't able to see the performance because I didn't make it back from Alaska in time. But don't worry, Eric did the dance for me when I got home. It was pretty hilarious to watch him count out the steps and shake his booty. If you see him, ask him to do this dance for you.
