Visiting Grandma's

A couple of weeks ago we got to go see my mom in Gooding Idaho. The place is super redneck but i love it. It's such a cute little town, they only have 2900 people but they have like 2 grocery stores and 3 bars. Salem has 6000 and we are just barely getting our grocery store. Caselyn loved to feed the calves in the mornings and it was so neat to sit on the back porch at night and see the sky and all the stars with out the city lights. And Gene(my moms boyfriend) is very nice and he is so good with my kids caselyn even seems to like him. And we got to see my Grandpa Leonard and Grandma Dayce which is always awesome!! It was alot of fun but I still wish my mom lived closer.

Scoreboard: Casey-1 Elk-0

Casey shot this elk with his bow up at my grandpas house in birdseye. I had gone hunting almost everyday, but I was so so sick this day and hiking for miles was not appealing and of course the one day I don't go I miss all the excitement!! But in the end all I really care about is the jerky.

Drum roll please......

I know I said I did not have much time to blog these days but I really really really want to brag about my baby contest winner so I'm making time......

Missing blogger?

Just wanted to let my friends and family know that we are all alive and well! But it is hunting season and that will always come first in the Grover Household. It's archery season and Casey has a spike/cow elk tag. I did not get one this year because we have way too many tags between casey, me, and his two brothers we do not have enough room for all that meat even with his parents freezers. I still want to be there for all the fun though! I have so much to catch up on but no picutres to go with it. I will just name a couple and after the hunts ends (which is on september 7th) I'll have time to post the pics and the full story! First of all McKoy won the salem days baby contest. I guess I can't say WON because there wasn't a real first place, but he won the BALD and beautiful award. He got a medal, and embroidered blanket, and cute little book. I'll have to figure out how to scan the pic they took so I can post it. There are no words to describe how cute this picture is! It show his big cheesy personality so well(Chiara, you must have taught him how to be such a cheeseball cause it ain't from me) Anyway and Caselyns first dentist appointment was today. If any of you have ever met my daughter I'm sure you have a very clear image in your minds at what must have gone on. Getting her to brush her teeth at home is like world war three, so to have some stranger trying to do it, I thought would be much worse, but she let them polish and floss all her teeth before she pushed their hands away. I did not take her to the dentist I work for because she for sure needs someone who specializes in Brat and attitude dentistry. The little turd does have 2 cavaties(I'm a little embarassed about that, ya know being a dental assistant and all.) And the dentist suggested we sedate her, that's a little scary but we'll see how it goes. We also took her to meet her pre-school teachers today. It was very emotional for me, but i held it in cause she was so excited and I did not want to scare her. I literally had to drag her out of there. She actually talked to Miss Karen and Miss Amy, and asked them to help her with things. She is so grown up, and I really don't like it very much! Anyway I will be getting back to you, hopefully with a post of the elk we shoot. If not there is always muzzleloader season!! Wish Us Luck!!

Baby snow cones? Best idea ever!

There was one shaved italian ice stand that would give out baby snow cones as samples and boy did my princess love those. I think she ate around 50 of them! And what was even better is that her favorite flavor was lemon, so the snow cone was white. And white snow cones equal no stains!
