Operation Tree Drop

12/24/09


So one of Oscar's friends was the brunt of practical joke on Christmas Eve. This group of friends are always doing things to each other, I don't think boys really fully grow up. Watching them prepare for this stunt was like watching school boys. *smile*

It all started with Jason and Dave texting Oscar and saying they needed some assistance, from there it just blossomed. The Salvation Army was giving away the last of their trees so they got a trailer and went and loaded up what they had, 23 trees.






Then they went back to Daves and drilled holes in the bottom of them, and then put rebar in them so they would stand up. Then they waited until close to midnight Christmas Eve to go out.






On their way there they stopped and all got into one vehicle (five of them, Jason, Dave, Oscar, Kip and Derek) while doing this a cop passes them. Oscar didn't have tail lights on the trailer. The copy doesn't stop them so they pull out behind the him and drive to their friends house. They were all giggling like little school girls but had all the trees off the truck and stuck in his yard in less than 1 minute. They hopped back in the truck and took off. However while they were putting the trees in the yard a neighbor had come out, after they left he called their friend and told him what happened. The friend ends up calling the cops (same cop by the way that had passed Oscar just a little bit ago) and they come out to make a report.

Meanwhile Oscar and his friends are still giggling and changing vehicles and are getting ready to go back and take some pictures.


Their friend instead of seeing the humor is furious and states to the cop he is not paying to have the trees removed. The reason he was chosen for the tree prank was because he didn't have a truck to take them anywhere. So the cop arranges for the garbage company to come take them off his hands in a couple of days.


So the cop has now left and Oscar and his friends come rolling back into the neighborhood to take some pictures. hahahahahaha they missed all the drama by just a few minutes.


Here is what his yard looked like in daylight all 23 trees in the front yard.



So how do we know all this? Well it took a good week before Oscar and his friends even approached their other friend, apparently he had no idea who did it. So after some teasing and explaining everyone now has the full story and they are still planning their next big one. *smile* Their friend stated very boldly "You have awoken the Sleeping Giant" Way too funny!!!

Wow Someone's Tired

I laugh every time I see these pictures of Mason! I had forgotten all about them. Oscar was making the nightly rounds checking on all the kids before we went to bed and he found Mason like this.

This is Oscar's favorite view *smile*

I still don't understand how he could fall asleep like that! hahahahahaha

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas!!

Our boys were soooo excited for this morning to come it was hard for them to get to sleep on Christmas Eve, but when they woke up this is what they found.

However they had to wait for everyone to wake up!!! Mom and dad and Lily decided to sleep in a bit because we were exhausted! After awhile this was slipped in under our door, and a little while after that Zachary realized we were sleeping and wouldn't see it so he came and put it on my chest......

So I got out of bed and started breakfast waiting for Lily and Dad to wake up. We had cinnamon rolls and bacon.....yummmmyyyy!!!! We finally started opening presents after 8am, you had thought we had made them wait a whole year. *smile*

Here is Lily enjoying her 1st Christmas......what a cutie

Mason enjoying his new presents...what a cute smile

Parker having a great time except when he opened up underwear and socks *wink* This picture is blurry, but I LOVED the excitement on his face *smile*

Zachary always had his 'jazz hands' on all his pictures. His favorite is his Notre Dame hat and football.

Oscar got some cool hunting stuff and a box that seemed to stump this smarty pants. It took him I kid-u-not 5 minutes to open it up. Ironically the present was pants *wink*

Here they are sportin their new thick warm jackets from Grandma and Grandpa Bullock. Parker wasn't that happy in this picture that he had a coat. But after showing him it was reversible he wouldn't take it off! We are also LOVIN the Old Testament DVD set and the new gospel art pictures. Thank you very much.

The Webbs (Oscar's sister Karen) gave the boys a ping pong table set, thank you.

Grandma and Grandpa Williamson gave gift cards, so they pooled their money and bought a Wii...thank you moose grandma and grandpa.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night. *smile*

Cougar Hunt

12/23/09

OTown and Dad were fortunate enough to go on a mountain lion aka cougar hunt today. Dad has a friend with dogs who invited him to go. Every time there is a fresh snow the hound hunters are itching to go, and since we received some fresh snow dad got a phone call. He has been hunting for a cougar for years now and just has not been able to get one. This year since OTown was old enough to go he brought him along. When they first spotted the tracks dad wasn't convinced it was a very big cat, but his friend said it was a pretty decent size, so the dogs were set loose. After tracking the dogs with a GPS they found the cat and were very surprised. It was bigger than they thought.

This is the cougar dad has been waiting for for years, but he made a decision.......let OTown take it. *smile* In Dad's words he said "I had an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other and this time the angel won" So OTown was able to take this cougar.

This will give you a good idea at how big the cougar was.....

They were gone ALL day long, but came home with HUGE smiles on their faces. Dad was just as happy as if he got it himself. *smile* They had a great time and now all they talk about is how they are going to get it mounted.
