Spring Fever!

Daniel and I have both had spring fever and have wanted a break from our hectic schedules, but until the last few weekends we haven't caught a break. Daniel is still plugging away at his classes and working fulltime, trying to stay on top of math with a professor who doesn't care how fast he goes. I have recently started my second block of student teaching, where I am not in 2nd grade. It has taken some getting used to because I really miss my third graders more than I have missed any other students before, but it gets better as the weeks keep coming. We are both just ready to be done! I actually walk for graduation on April 28th and am so excited that the end is really in sight! I've started the process of applying for jobs here in the Carbon School District where they have 9 openings, and we will see where that takes us, but cross your fingers I get hired :)

The pictures below are of a few shed hunting trips that we have been able to go on together.


These are the horns that Daniel and I were able to find not too far away from home, the two small ones in the middle are my first ever set that I have found, its just a little three point, but it is still a set! The horn on the left is one side of the 5 point Daniel, Jared, and I have been watching and waiting for him to drop, we still need to find the other side.


This is a really neat set that Daniel picked up, he picked up one side one week, then went back the next week with me and found the other side about 20 feet away from my little 3 point set.

Jared's first shed horn! Woohoo! We hope he catches the fever and enjoys going shed hunting. We want to take him more before he leaves on his mission for MEXICO MEXICO CITY!!!! :D


Daniel picking up the second side to his big set close to home. He's happy!

Shed hunting trip to the Henry Mountains we were able to go on last weekend. This is Cody and his big 5 by 4 set that Daniel helped him find the other side too.

Me and my two ginormous horns, the left horn is the other side to a set that my father-in-law found a year ago and kindly gave to me :) and the right horn is a gigantic horn that is bladed and massive, scoring 84 for the single horn.. if we find the other side it will score close to 190, and awesome buck, wish we could find him brown too.

Mine and Daniel's finds for the day down on the Henrys, not too bad (Me = 1 brown and 2 white Daniel = 4 browns not counting his help for Cody :) )

The whole groups shed horns.. all in all I think we picked up between 25 and 30 horns that day. Good day tater' as Daniel would say :)
