Youth Hunt

The other weekend our youngest 2 girls got to participate in the youth hunt. This was the first time that Libby got to hunt and she was successful!

Here is Libby and Kaylyn with Libby's 6-point.

Here is Libby with Mark.
And here is Libby back at home showing Mom her kill. She was one happy girl!

Been busy?

Who hasn't right? But my blog is shriveling up. So I thought I better post something and since I don't have time to write creatively I thought I would just share some pictures instead. After all they do speak 1000 words right?

The doll Anna is holding is a class project. It's a computerized doll that is designed to give the students an idea of caring for a real baby. Both Kaylyn and Anna have the class and they were both ready to be done with caring for the baby after only one weekend. Success!



Libby likes having her picture taken. Can you tell?

Check out the bronze "statue" in the next picture...

See a diference?

It is a real live man! Isn't that crazy?

Homecoming and Youth hunt

It was a busy weekend at the Hill house. Friday night was the Homecoming game. We won 62-0. We were ahead by like 40 points at halftime so we left so that Mark could get up north with Kaylyn and Anna for the Youth hunt. Saturday morning they weren't successful. Then it was time to get Anna back home so that she could get ready for the Homecoming Dance. Anna went with her friend, Andrew, from school. My camera died, argh, so I have gotten pictures from friends off from Facebook but I will be getting pictures on a cd from friends today. I can't believe how old Anna looked. Tears.


Zack went with a "throwing" friend from Kent City. They both go to a throwing club together at Calvin College. Too bad the sun was so bright. My husband was the typical guy about this picture when he seen they took it in front of his truck. Who cares how the kids look, how does my truck look? Funny guy.

Then 4am Sunday morning Mark woke up a groggy Anna and headed back up north. But not before informing me that my tire was flat and I would need to plan on taking Zack's car to church. Thank goodness for a back up plan.


Kaylyn had stayed up north with a friend of ours and his daughter. This time proved successful for Anna. I don't know if you can tell but it was raining a little bit also. They all had a great time. In the picture from left to right is Kaylyn, Mark, Anna, and Ellie (our friend's daughter).


Good times!
Smiles!

Youth Hunt

The 2007 Youth Hunt was very successful for the Hill household.

Zack "bagged" an 11-point buck. Looking at the picture you may think that it doesn't look like an 11-point, that is because about 5 of the points are "sticker points" at the base of the antlers but they are "legal points". Unfortunantly he didn't get home until almost midnight so we weren't able to get a traditional hunting picture with his deer because it was dark outside and the next day was the record hot Monday so we couldn't wait for him to get home from school to take more pictuers we had to get the deer processed. We believe the meet is more valuable then the pictures. ;-)
Anna "bagged" a 9-point, non-traditional buck. It might not show up so well in this picture but the deer has really unusual antlers.
As you can see both kids are very pleased with their results.

We enjoyed venison tenderloins, from Anna's deer, and red skin potatoes for dinner Monday night. It was delicious! Mark cut the tenderloins into 2" cubes, wrapped them with bacon, put them on skewers, and grilled them.
Yummy!
