Livin' in the Mountains!

Wow so around this time of year time does fly!! We were able to host for Thanksgiving this year it was great. Although a few days before thanksgiving we had an incident. With how high we are on the Mountain we have a lot of deer in our yard. I was on my way home from a baby shower and Spencer called asking where the camera was. He then told me that we had a deer stuck in our fence. I hurried home to see it and this is what I saw. The blood is just from the deer trying to run while its legs were stuck, the rooftop was rough.


It was very weird the way it was stuck, its hind legs were in the back fence and it was on top of our neighbors shed. Spencer tried to get it loose for a while then we decided we needed to call Animal Control. They were not able to come so they sent a cop. Spencer and the cop were able to get the deer out but when the deer started to walk we noticed that both front legs were broken, not the back legs that were stuck but the front legs. That confused us even more on how it got stuck. The cop told us he would have to put it down. That is when I ran inside, I did not want anything to do with that. The deer wandered into our backyard and that is where it happened. I was talking to my mom on the phone and she heard the shot over the phone. It was very disturbing. Well Animal Control takes care of live animal problems first so it took them 3 days to come and pick up the deer. Luckily we have a slope to our yard and we did not have to look at it every day. All we told George is that we let the deer go home to its mom and dad.

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year and I got George and Sam, his cousin, a gingerbread house to decorate. They loved it. You know how it goes put a candy on the house here and eat one there. What a great activity for them, George sees in on the table and says Georgie's house. I guess that would be his ideal place to live!!

Treadmill Warning!!!

We had a little accident this last week. It was quite traumatic and it has taken me this long to be able to post this incident. I was walking on our treadmill and George was playing with his ball. The ball got sucked under the treadmill and so was George's arm. He is fine but he has some serious road rash all up and down his arm. We are very lucky that that is all that happened, many have lost limbs!! So just a warning to all of you with treadmills, don't let your kids play on them or play while you are on them, they are dangerous.

Scarlet's Day

So we were able to bless Scarlet on Sunday. It was a wonderful blessing and then we had the family over for dinner. I think the second best part of having her blessed was that my half wall was finished. It looks so good and everyone was able to come over and see our handy work. George has loved his baby sister, one of his favorite things is to sit on top of her and call out "Giddy up Horsey" Not much you can do but get him off of her and just laugh!!
