Woops!!!!

For Christmas, Brock & Kory were given "Red Ryder" BB Guns from their Grandpa & Grandma Tomlinson (Clint's parents). Don't get me wrong, it was an AWESOME idea and my boys were SO excited and completely LOVE them.

Since the weather has been colder they really haven't had the chance to take the guns out shooting. So...one of Clint's friends and his kids came over on Sunday to visit...well, they got talking and got on the subject of these BB Guns. Well, next thing I knew...the boys (yeah, I mean the *BIG* boys) were making a target sheet and loading the guns...yippee! At first the kids were having a great time and all was supervised by the Dad's....THEN, the Dad's got sidetracked with their socializing and there were a few mishaps. First of all, Brock wanted to see what would happen if he shot straight up in the air. Yeah, maybe not a good idea...because the BB came straight back down and hit Kory on the top of the head...I don't think it really hurt him, but it WOULD have if it were something stronger than a BB, right??? Well, before all was said and done...Kory managed to shoot his friend in the shoulder AND Brock in the back...he claims "They didn't get out of the way!" Ummmm, okay!

So...it seems that my boys are in for some serious *gun safety* lessons in the NEAR future!

Oh my goodness Jamie...boys will be boys, right? So I was reading your post about working out 3 days a week, sounds like a good thing with how tired you sound. Sometimes bodies definitely get overworked and need an adjustment.
