We are still alive and well. We have had a very busy and crazy fall. We have had hunters since August and are just finishing the last of the hunts these next few weeks. We are very ready for the season to end even though we have had a lot of fun with it. It is fun for Jay and I to be able to work together with the outfitting. It makes it not seem so long and it is fun for me to meet most of the people that Jay guides. Jay was able to hunt a couse deer down by the border of Mexico. He packed in 12 miles and camped with a few other guys and said it was quite an experience. We look forward to things calming down a bit!

Halloween party in Mesa Jordan ,Josh, Colten and Harvey


Halloween and Harvey's birthday were a little disappointing this year. We were all completely down for almost 2 weeks with the worst flu ever. So we didn't go out at all on Halloween and Harvey's birthday was celebrated a little late but turned out to be a good time. We had a little party here at the ranch with us , mom and dad and Josh. Then since Harvey was feeling much better we meet up in Alpine with all the Platt cousins and grandma and papa and had a really fun party.

Summer is always a fun time at the ranch. Harvey has had great fun lizard hunting everyday. We have had a huge variety of lizards, horny toads and the giant lizard we are still trying to figure out what it is. It is funny I keep seeing lizards without tails around the house from the little boys pulling a little to hard on them. Harvey always seems to have something in his aquarium. We planted a garden with my parents and have been trying to get a yard in at our house. It has been an eventful summer thus far and we look forward to the rest of it.

Swimming in the pond

Colten and Jay

It is starting to get warm and it has been so nice to play outside. The boys got so hot working the other day that they decided to go for a swim in the dirt pond. It was cold but felt pretty good after the heat all day. The kids loved it. It is always fun to go for a ride on the horses. Colten lives to see and ride horses. He has a little bit of an obsession. I guess we live in the right place for it. That's all he wants to do. It is constantly on his mind. It is kind of funny though.
