Catching up...

First off I will start out with some fun festivities we had last weekend. Thankfully Jason did not have to work so with some of the guys Jason knows in his shop...we went to the middle of nowhere Rapid City and shot a bunch of guns. The older boys had a blast because they got to shoot their first "live" gun ever. It was my .22 Henry lever action. Cody is definitely hooked, Wyatt may need a bit more coaxing.

Before I show you the pictures of us shooting I want to show you some pictures of the boys playing.

This is the last picture we have of our precious cat Bear.  He passed a day or two after this picture was taken.

This is what Garrett did while we were out shooting.  Well, drinking, eating, crying and sleeping.

My .22 Henry lever action.  I love shooting .22's they are so fun.

Here is Jason with his rabbit killer.  .44 mag

I shot this one too but no pictures were taken.

Our view while shooting.  It really was a goreous area out in the Black Hills.

Sunday was a nice relaxing day as well.  We stayed home and watched General Conference on the computer.  I saw on a blog, which I will look for later, an idea to hopefully keep the boys interested in listening to the speakers.  I took 3 small buckets that I got at Hobby Lobby and put some candy in it.  Since I was doing this last minute I just took a sharpie and wrote a word on each bucket that I wanted the boys to listen for.  When one of the speakers said one of those words that got to grab candy out of that bucket. 

Wyatt is still begging me to watch Conference so he can have more candy.

 I think sickness may be invading our house again.  Monday I woke up with a horrible migraine.  One that didn't allow me to keep any food down, including medicine, until late in the evening.  It started to subside so I thought I was in the clear until Tuesday rolled around.  My throat started hurting and I still had some residual pain from my headache.  Here it is Wednesday and my throat hurts pretty badly, my neck aches and my head has so much pressure it feels like it is going to explode.  I am going to go in tomorrow and see the doctor one way or the other. To leave this post on a good note.  Garrett is doing amazing with walking.  I wouldn't call him a "walker" just yet but on Monday he started taking more and more steps and also started standing in the middle of the room without support.  If I am a betting woman I would say he will be walking by the end of the month.  We are so proud but also very scared to have yet another walking boy in the house.  My house is never going to be the same again  :)
