Rod's Doe!!!

Rod left on Thursday October 8th for some rugged terrain hunting with my brother-in-law Riley. It was really weird him being out of cell phone service and away from home for 6 days. I got a call from Rod on Tuesday the 13th saying he was about a 1/2 hour from my parents house and he had shot a deer - he was so excited. They were really wanting to shoot an elk but they just couldn't get to them. Rod and Riley had a good time hunting and since this is Rod's first year getting a deer he is no longer a virgin! My dad is cutting it up for us tomorrow and we will go back up to Cottonwood this weekend to get the meat - we are having hamburger and steaks made out of it. Can't wait to try it out. Way to go Rod!

Caden was really excited to have Rod back. When I told him that there was someone in the front yard that wanted to see him he opened up the door and took off as fast a 3 years old legs could run. Rod picked him up and Caden gave him a big hug and said "Dad, your wearing camo". They came in for tacos and Caden sat next to Rod at the table and had his hand on Rod's arm the entire time we ate - making sure he wasn't going anywhere. Rod went out and pushed him on the swing and then Caden finally fell asleep on the couch. We are glad to have him back.
