9mm and warm days

Today it was 76 degrees here in northern Texas. To us..that means AMAZING weather. We were outside just about all day enjoying it. One of the things we did was go to the park and feed to ducks and let Ryker play play play. We also played in the backyard and Brian and I worked on teaching Ryker how to throw a baseball. Pretty sure it likely ended up on Brians most favorite moments of being a dad, list. Just guessing by the look on his face when he was teaching him. It was a lot of fun.










Even miss Mandy had a good time.

























Ok, So I am sure you reading the title and thought...9mm, isn't that a gun??? Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not really a gun person. Ever since moving to a much larger city I had to come to the reality that more crime indeed comes with a larger city. Since Brian works out of town so much, I refuse to not own a gun purely for protection reasons. I hope to never ever have to use it for that reason, but no one is gonna hurt my baby boy. With that being said, for me to own a gun, I need to be comfortable with handling and shooting it. Brian and I decided to take one of his vacation days and go to the shooting range with a couple of his fathers guns and let me try one out. It was one of the most exhilarating/scary feelings I have ever had. The amount of power a person holds when holding a gun is insane. I have always had a respect for guns and weapons in general, but I 100% respect them and what they can do. It was a good learning experience and I plan to go back in the near future to try another one out.










Pretty good shot for a first timer
