The Story


Yes, well I didn't clarify WHO was writing as it says Nate and Robyn Copper.  Sorry about that.  Here's the story in short:
Nate (husband), Halley and Andi all had come down with strep throat on Wednesday so I spent that night and Thursday cleaning places that might have been slobbered on and washing sheets and towels.  At 2pm Friday Nate (husband) asked me if I wanted to go hunting?  There were only a few days left of the season and he was sick and I didn't think I should go alone.  Anyways, to make a long story short I called a friend (Vince) who has A gun or two and has hunted some recently :) and told him I was going hunting, with him.  So, Nate Michael and I ran down to the store to get me a license and by the time we got in the hills it was 3:30 or so.  Really not much time until dark so we drove quite a bit and saw a couple Does.  To make another long story short we saw this buck (the one on my wall) looking at a Doe and her fawns.  We were driving out of there with our buck in less than two hours from when we drove up there.
Like I have told people before, I don't have 'time' to mess around.  If I am going to do something I need to get there get it on the ground and get home.  :)  

I told Nate it takes more of a man to stay home with the sick kids and let his wife go hunting than it does to go out himself.  Vince mounted the antlers already so they were on the wall with a little plaque reading:  Robyn Copper (the date)  "One Hour Buck".  Thanks Nate (husband) and Vince and Nate Michael for being such a trooper and hunting with me.

MY DEER


Our good friend Vince took me and Nate Michael out one evening and I was able to get this SWEET little buck.  It was a great story.  The kids and Nate were excited for us.  
It takes quite the MAN to watch the kids and let his wife go out hunting!

LEAVES






Well, as you can see we had a great time this fall with the leaves.  Raking, piling, jumping and then back to raking, piling and then of course you know, JUMPING!!!!!!

We also went to the pumpkin patch and rode the hay wagon.
