Enchanted Adventures!

Last month Keith & I went on a long, over do adventure. We headed up to Enchanted Rock with two of our favorite people, Shawna and Paul Dixon. It was mine and Shawna's FIRST time to ever visit the park! We hiked around and enjoyed the scenery. Keith and Paul thought it would be fun to do a little CLIFF HANGING!! This was not planned....Shawna and I were starting to get a bit worried when the two of them resurfaced and had two BIG grins on their faces( a grin that absolutely reflected the feeling of "Holy Crap!! We totally almost lost it!). We had such a great time hanging out with friends and hiking around. We took Mason along with us, he was such a trooper. After we finished up at the park we headed back to Fredricksburg for a little lunch at Auslanders. We enjoyed the local German food and a round of Auslanders famous Sunshine beer, I don't even care for beer but I'll drink a glass of this stuff (Its amazing what a slice of orange will do to the taste of a ice cold glass of beer)! We had a great Saturday spend with great friends!

The Newsome Family!!

So here it is the 3rd day of March and I am just now posting some of our Christmas pictures......I had a feeling things would get crazy and our poor blog would be forgotten. Christmas was great and even Mason got to open a few gifts. We received way more than we needed and were very thankful for all our blessings. We were so excited to decorate our first Christmas tree (well I a bit more then Keith...hehe) and it turned out great!!

Mason did so good opening his gifts. We thought he would just love his new racket balls.....we then realized he's a DOG and all he wanted was the shiny paper covering the balls as he took of and WOULD NOT surrender the goods!!!!

He's almost got it......

and he's off!!!

Keith and I spent a few weekends at the ranch this winter. We love going out there and just goofing off! Just hanging out with mother nature and the soaking up all the fresh air. This hunting season I shot my first deer! It was a HUGE....spike. (ha got your hopes up for a HUGE buck") nope Keith would not allow it. He said "no big bucks on your first hunt...It will ruin you, you wont have much to look forward to on future hunts"..... (I tend to disagree a little). Well maybe next year I'll get the big one! Oh and by the way, the whole deer gutting thing...pretty sick and it smells nasty if you pop the stomach. (what can I say, it looked as if there was a baby deer in there.)

Well I promise to have an update on future events sooner then every 2 months! Life just flies by when your having fun!!
