The Polar Express

Hayden and his 5th grade class presented The Polar Express and Hayden was the lead in the play. I don't know exactly the character's name, but it was the little boy that received Santa's sleigh bell - then lost it - then found it wrapped up under the tree. He loved every minute of it.One of the blessings of living in Fritch, Texas is an ENTIRE 5th grade class of around 50 kids!!!

Very proud of Hayden!!! He did an amazing job! ~ And Ms Green let him keep the sleigh bell!

Deer of a Lifetime

11 point - although, if you count the kickers, up to a 16 point - white tail buck.

Its the buck of a hunter's lifetime.

Johnny says after hunting now for 20 years, its the ultimate deer. He almost can't believe it.

And I'm so proud and happy for him too. LOOK AT THAT FACE!!! Not the deer's... Johnny's . Never seen him smiling brighter!

We took around 100 pictures of it... because we took it to the taxidermy Sunday and we won't see it again until AUGUST!!!This is the skull of the white tail Johnny killed earlier this season compared to the giant from this weekend.... that he refers to as B.F.D - Big Freakin Deer. I don't think that's a really good name for a deer, but when I kill a monster buck, I guess I'll get to choose the name.
