Harvest Break
HARVEST Break was exactly that this year. Which is good, don't get me wrong it just has been really different for us grain farmers for the last 3 years. We use to never worry about doing grain during Harvest (Spud) break but we have been just doing that for three years. The only good thing I can say about this year is that it DID NOT snow like the other two. Thank goodness. The break this year is only 2 days, Friday and Monday. On Friday Bailey and I went out to Rexburg to do a few things and ended up having a real great day. She has been thinking about asking someone to the Drill Team Dance (girl choice) that is in November and so she has been looking at dresses online. Well she wanted to look in Rexburg even though they don't have a whole lot for this, just 2 small stores. So anyway we went into the one store and took a look and she found a couple real cute ones. She picked up this pink one and put it back on the rack, she is not a real pink person, but then she came back to it and decided to try it on. It looked so cute on her, except of course there were no sleeves and we have to add them. It looks so feminine and pretty but not like a sixteen year old year trying to look like she is 21. (If you know what I mean?) Well like I said we were not going to buy a dress but the lady went to look at the price tag to see if you should take any off the price and she turned the tag over and the dress was 50 % off. Wow! So how could we resist. It cost 70.00 dollars. We will have some more into it to put sleeves and make a corset in the back, but we thought we got a great deal especially for a formal dress. She is so excited to get it back, she just need to get a date now. I am excited for her, fun time in life. We took the dress to IF to get altered and we picked up Jacee from school and took her with us. I thought these two young girls would have fun doing this. They are really good cousins and friends. We did have a great time.
On Monday for the break we went to Rexburg again with Stacy and picked up parts and did some case lot shopping and then came home and later that night and went to Victor and watched Toy Story Three. OH so so cute, what a good movie, we loved it. It was hard to have to gear up for school this morning.

Silly for Blue...
OK we went to DI and had a great time. I found this cool old roaster that is BLUE. How cool right. Katie found a really cute one and has it at her house so I was really excited to find me one. Stacy was laughing at me and he said, "What are you going to do with that?" I said, "I don't know, it's BLUE and my sister has one!" OK somebody tell me something cute to do with it so I don't have to take it back to DI. Hey it was only $2.00.
I am crazy I know but this beckon me to buy it. Not sure why? The only thing I can think is that is reminds me of something we always had in our house growing up. I even remember it and the teapots in our old house. Any cute ideas for it, Katie?
This cost me a buck. Hey it doesn't take much to impress me, does it?

Here is Stacy's find. Yes it is cool too. Only $3.00 bucks!
Bailey's finds. Algebra for Dummies and The Complete Idiot's Guide for Algebra. Yes that would be all of us in this Lerwill home.
She also found two really cute pairs of shoes. Again $3.00 each. She was so excited. A cute bright lime green pair of the new flat gym shoe, no laces but just the holes. ( all I can think of it like Van's, does that date me????) and a cute brown pair.

Nimrods
My family comes from many generations of Nimrods. According to Random House Webster's School &Office Dictionary , Nimrod means: a great hunter. Hunting has been in my family for a long time. From generation to generation our fathers have taught their children how to hunt. My father learned from his father and my brother learned from our dad. We gave my brother the nickname of Nimrod. Since the age of twelve, I have also learned how to hunt and have officially became a Nimrod also.
When I turned twelve I quickly signed up for hunters safety. After the classes were over I purchased my license and was eager for fall to come, so I could buy a tag for a deer. Fall came quickly, the tag was bought, and the guns were ready. My dad, brother and I were all camouflaged up and ready for our hunt. We decided to go just above our house and see if we could see anything. Lucky for me, we saw a deer and we were in range for me to take a shot. While I held the gun I could barely keep it still because of excitement and heavy breathing. However, I was able to hold my breath and steady myself. I slowly pulled the trigger causing the deer to fall making my first year of hunting a success.
The next year my sights were set on a buck. I was trying so hard to be like my big brother, who had shot one earlier in the season. I wanted to shoot a bigger buck and beat his horn size. The season was soon ending and I was not presented with a chance to shoot a buck. Since I am a youth hunter I can hunt bucks or does. So on one of the last days of the season we were scouting our fields to find any game. We came across a small herd of does and fawns and the opportunity was right for me to take the shot at a doe. After the shot she ran fifty yards and collapsed. The adrenaline rushed through my body after the shot and while waiting to find her. With the help of my dad and brother we were able to locate and proceed with taking proper care of the meat. It was an exciting time.
The following year it was my third hunting season. I decided that I was going to take whatever I saw, buck or doe. It was the first day of deer season and my family and I were up in the Milk Creek area for several hours searching for any sign of deer. We had no luck, so we decided to head home . After we returned home we spotted some deer by the creek below our house. Carefully we made our way over to where the deer were. I had to shoot my brother's gun because I had forgot my shells. I had never shot it before, so I was a little nervous. I took his 30-06 in my arms and aimed it at the deer. The shot rang through the canyon as I had hit my target.
I am now entering my fourth season of hunting and hoping to get a buck, and my first bull elk . I will have to buy my tags, get shells, and make sure that I have everything I will need to be successful this year. I am excited for my dad to take me and have that time to be together. I wish that my brother could join us but he will not be here this year. We will continue on with this tradition and put meat in the freezer. We are excited for when he can join with us in our future hunts.
During the past three years of hunting deer I have fired three shots and killed three deer. I hope to keep the tradition of hunting in my family. I want to be able to see my kids shoot their first game and continue to raise Nimrods and enjoy this experience as a family.
