Crazy cat lady

I know that I haven't really come through with my promise to post a million pictures of my cats. The truth is, I am not very good at photographing them, it is a lot harder than you would think. They just don't pose very well and any time I pull out the camera, they stop doing the crazy funny thing they were just doing. Like the other day, Spot was chasing her tale around and around in circles while under the chair in Luke's office. As soon as the camera came out, the tail chasing stopped...one of these days I will be sneaky enough to get Spots craziness on film. She seriously is the funniest cat. Until then, here are some pictures where they posed pretty well...

Gun Slinger

Luke recently got his concealed weapons permit (don't worry, he doesn't carry heat ALL the time) and has been dying to get a hand gun. He bought one just over a week ago so we went out Saturday with his brothers (Kortnee and Nick came too) to do some target practice. Now, I grew up shooting rifles and shotguns but have never really felt comfortable around hand guns, because honestly I had never used one. So Saturday I got some lessons- I am not good at all, so it will take a lot of practice, but I feel a lot more comfortable having a gun in my house now that I know how to use it. Mainly that I know how to use it safely. I also want to point out that I have really improved my shotgun shooting skills. I hit almost every clay pigeon I aimed at!
