Rod is a legal hunter now!

OK, so last weekend Rod, Caden and I made an emergency trip to Lewiston so that Rod could finish up his hunter safety exam. For years he has been saying that he wanted to get his hunting license and this year he finally did it. He took the on-line coarse and got a 100 and then went to register for the field day class and with just our luck, every class in Boise was full. So, Lewiston had 3 opening last Saturday so we made a beeline up North. On Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Rod was in class. He got a 98 on his final exam, missing a question regarding birds and then passed his field class. They gave him a wooden gun and he had to go over brush and fence to go find his pretend deer that he shot - I am laughing out loud as I picture it. I am very proud of his for accomplishing this goal of his, now hopefully he can get a deer this year so we won't starve all winter!!!

I got to hang out with my mom all weekend which was great. Saturday while Rod was in class we went to visit my grandparents and watch my sister Karel play softball (their team didn't do so hot). Kristin hung out with us for a little while and we went and had lunch with Michelle and the twins. Caden and the girls got a little wild in Arby's, thankfully there were to many people in there. They were having a good time playing in the blinds and climbing on the chairs.

Caden will be 2 in a couple of weeks, that is so hard to believe. He is really starting to push the limits and has become extremely picky about what he will and will not eat. He is definitely trying Rod and I's patience this week. But all in all he is a pretty good boy! Will post some new pictures soon! Have a great week.
