A Whole Lotta Grouse

Wow, Tyler invited me to do some grouse hunting on some trails that he knows. I love to hike after grouse, but I had to admit that using the ATV was a very productive way to go. We covered about 12 miles of trails and shot 5 grouse each!! We couldn't have covered that kind of ground on foot.

Here is the haul...we would ride around until we spotted one in the trail or off the side of the trail, then we'd bail out go after them. Sometimes we would shoot on on the trail and flush another few just off the side of the trail. In one group that we went after there were 5 plus! In another group there were 4. I am not sure we can top this day.

You can see the type of terrain we were in. We also saw 3 moose.

These are all spruce grouse (gold banded tails). They are called so, becasue they like to hang out in spruce pines and eat the needles. They also eat the cranberries that grow wild here.

Overall, not a bad day...shoot ten grouse in 4 hours! Takes away some of the pangs of missing out on the Utah duck hunt.

McKenna's Blessing

Last Sunday, we blessed McKenna. Here she is in her cute blessing dress...

Here are a few more pics of McKenna. She is starting to really fill out and looks a tad different from when she was born.

She's getting quite a healthy gut...she is a good eater.

More Pictures of McKenna

Showing off her pretty eyes. McKenna is much more awake and alert as each day passes.



Big Sis Jaycie loves to hold McKenna.

McKenna enjoys looking at her toys. She has a big dimple on her left check that has been hard to photograph, but you can see it in this picture. One of the first things the nurse said to us when she was born was, "look at that big dimple."

After her first "real bath."

We love our McKenna!!!
