When Matt and I got married, I decided that I needed to enact a deer mount rule. My rule was that if there was going to be a dead deer hanging around my house, it had to score at least 150. For those of you who don't know, when you kill a deer, they use a tape measure to get the total inches of horns. 150 is a decent size deer. Matt already had killed 150 class deer with his bow. We like to call this guy "Deer."
"Deer"
Score-154
When we moved into our house, Deer was the first thing that was hung. Well the chances of getting 150 class deer with a bow are slim. Matt also has his own rule that he won't kill another buck if it is smaller than something he already has on the wall. So I'm thinking that I'm pretty safe with only having one mount in my house. I guess I didn't really know the guy I was marrying! In December, a "big" deer was spotted. Matt decided he was going to go down to Laredo and try get him. Matt and Cuatro went down and set up a pop-up blind where the deer had been spotted. Walon and his brother-in-law, Wayne, were also down there. One morning I get this phone call:
Matt:(with buck fever) I SHOT!
Me:(still not awake) What?
Matt: I Shot. I hit him.
Me: Did you got him?
Matt: I think so. I don't know where he went. I gotta go.
Me: Ok, call me when you find something out.
Long story short, they had to call dogs to track the deer. They finally found him about 9 at night.
"Bambi"
I got this in a text message about 11 that night.
"Bambi"
after he was scored with a total of 174 5/8
So yes, Bambi is going to be in the house too. Right now he isn't at the taxidermist yet, so I have a few more months of being a one deer mount house! I'm sure if you come to visit in the next 6-9 months, Bambi will be here! I tried to make a new rule that the next deer had to be at least 180 class deer, but Matt said 175. We will have to see what the future of Matt's deer hunting career brings!
Then we got a new propane tank to go with our new propane tankless water heater. We have been using, and still are, one of those 5 gallon propane tanks. Needless to saw I have had to finish a few of my showers with COLD water. Never a good thing. Anyways, I got to paint it. I was very excited. We haven't splurged for the copper tubing to run from the big propane tank to the house. But we will in a few months. 
The storage room has been here awhile, but I just wanted to show how we coordinated the propane tank and the storage room! 
We also got a new Boston Terrier named Lexie. She is the cutest little puppy! I don't have a picture of her on my camera, but you just have to take my word for it. She is growing really, really fast.

After 9 loooonnnnnggggg months, we are finally the owners of this 1981(ish) 5088 International tractor!! I have been waiting to blog about this since the beginning of March! Then it was like pulling teeth to get Matt to move it so we could take this picture with OUR tractor. I am so proud of us!
This picture is a bit deceiving! Matt was doing a cartwheel and I was kicking my leg up(whoo hoo), and it JUST looks like I'm kicking his tushy!
We wanted to get a picture of both of us doing a cartwheel, but figured that would not end up the way we wanted it to, so I'm up against the tire and he's doing a cartwheel! (I was laughing at this point, and very shortly after this, I landed on my HEAD!)
Then we changed positions! We both need to work on keeping our legs straight when doing a cartwheel, or neither one of us is looking at a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics!
