two firsts

Last week, Eric decided it was time for Levi to learn how to shoot. A gun. A real gun. Now, granted, it is just a pellet gun, but it is still real. You know "You'll shoot your eye out..."!!! Levi has always liked to play guns {what little boy doesn't??} and he has such an interest in, how should I say, things of that nature? Bad guys, guns, police work, saving people...he loves all that stuff! I guess since Uncle Daniel and Papa Bobby are police officers, it comes natural. :-) {On my Dad's computer, there is a picture of the SWAT team and he is holding his machine gun. Levi almost always comments "I like your gun, Papa."} Boys and their toys!!

Eric set up a little target range out back and they shot from the deck.

On Eric's first shot, he shot the can over!!

I was all giggly like a high schooler..."Good job, Honey!" He just stared at me. I guess it was an easy shot. Hmmm. Whatever.

Then Levi got to shoot by himself. Let's just say he needs to practice. ;)

I don't think I've said anything on the blog about this, but I had a first, too. A root canal. Not nearly as fun as shooting a gun. Blah. I had it several weeks ago and had to go back today to be fitted for a crown. I'm telling you, my life is pretty exciting these days! ;) I dropped Maggie off at Eric's office where she got to write, type, spin in his spinny chair, throw his business cards all over the place, play with his phone and flirt with his co-workers!! Fun for a little one year old!!

And I headed to the dreaded dentist chair. I pretended like I was going for a pedicure. :/ I don't know what has possessed me to put this picture on my blog, especially after posting the beautiful one that my brother took on Thanksgiving! But, I know how you guys enjoy a laugh!

Don't be jealous! Yes, it looks like I have had a stroke on the left side of my face. Yes, the lighting is horrible and my makeup looks less than desirable. Yes, they make you remove any signs of lipstick. Gag. Yes, it looks like I am wearing dog tags, when in reality it is the pretty napkin cover holder. But, hey, at least I have cute earrings on!!! Winning! And another bonus...I am no longer in extreme pain! YAY!! ;)

That is all.
