Ok, I knew the day was coming, but I was still surprised when one of Phil's friends sent me an email to ask for more of Phil.  His point was that while I have been clear that it is MOSTLY Jenine, that really, the concept of "most" still probably calls for more than 3% of the postings to include some reference to my dear darling.  He was also looking for some hunt updates.  So here is what Phil did this weekend.

Friday night Phil spent the evening with us, and Phil and I watched my favorite movie - Roman Holiday.  

Saturday Phil got up and shot a limit of doves before the girls and I ate breakfast.  He came home and rested before going to the U of A football game.

Sunday, Phil's girls swam with cousins.  He was the first person Grace called to tell that with some help from Aunt Julie and a napkin, she "lost" her first tooth (o.k. Julie offered to give her a cookie if she let Julie pull her tooth and duh!  Of course she said yes).   Then, he prepared for his date with destiny.  And with the not-so-eligible candidates for Mrs. America.  He admits that the most compelling thing was to have 51 smokin' hotties play to him (ok, they were playing to the judges, but Phil was sitting with the judges).  I later inquired about the evening gowns and swimsuits, just out of curiosity.  He said the gowns were fabulous, the swim wear impressive, and the gregarious nature of the women warming.  (my interpretation of his comments - sorry Jonathan, I can't stay completely out of it).  He got home late.

Then he got up early and shot another limit of doves this morning.  We had a few people over for a barbecue, and Phil is exhausted.
