You'll shoot your eye out :)




So I now totally know how the Ralphie's mother felt in A Christmas Story. Justin bought the boys an official Red Rider BB gun yesterday and the first thing I could think of when he showed it to them was the famous line "You'll shoot your eye out kid" I was horrified at the fact that he got them a bb gun but it is a father son thing I suppose. He sat them down told them the rules and for the next couple of hours I watched Justin teach them how to properly handle and shoot the bb gun. He is such a awesome dad and I love the fact that he teaches them without yelling at them. I even took a turn with it. I must say I enjoyed the fact that there was no kick back like a real shotgun. I did okay but Owen is a natural. He was hitting the target with precision and even hit the bulls eye a few times. Papa Bill would be proud and Owen may even give him a run for his money when he gets older. Ashton wasn't feeling well yesterday but after his long nap he came out and shot of some rounds. He even did better than me. It is amazing how much he is like Justin. I was watching the two of them and it was like watching twins. They way they do things is almost identical. I am so blessed to have such a great family :) It was a beautiful day and it is finally starting to warm back up. I am about sick of one day hot then the next few cold. Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.
