Happy New Year!
We had a great day yesterday and yes, we did celebrate the day by going out and shooting shotguns, no roses on parade in rural Utah! It was a blast! I haven't shot a gun since my friend Matty took me in college and I forgot how fun it was. There were 9 adults there and I don't think anyone expected the 9 month pregnant lady to take 2nd place. That's right...2nd of of 9 and I beat out all 5 boys there. I labeled my picture if you had any questions or doubts....
You should see my bruise! It was very awkward to hold a gun with so much weight in the front and so I had to put the gun into my arm and I am black and blue! This was Johns first time shooting a shotgun and he did good but I'm pretty sure I left him a little shocked that there is a sport that I am better at him at. To bad it probably wont be for long since he really wants to get a gun, we both do, we just have to decide the best way with our kiddos safety.
Davis was not so excited about the loud noises the guns made and so he chose to spend most of the day in the car. Which suited me just fine since we didn't have to worry about his safety as much.

Caleb had a blast running around with the other kids and at the end he even got to shoot a rifle. He was really good about not coming past the line and all the rules we established before we went.
Thanks Wheelers for another great day!

LOVE the pictures! We had a lot of fun too! Danny had fun getting beat by a prego girl....we'll take you out to be small town hillbillies anytime!!
I just more and more impressed by you Lisa! I already thought you were Wonder Woman and now I find out you're a pretty good shot too!
What a woman! I lOVE that you went clay pigeon shooting! I didn't know that you liked that sort of thing...and you should because you rock at it! I think the last time I went clay pigeon shooting was about 8 years ago, down in Mesquite. I loved catching up on your blog after about a week of not being able to check. 7 1/2 pounds sounds like a good size....lets hope for a rainy night in Hurricane with a change in pressure and maybe that will send all those braxton hicks contractions into contractions that actually dialate you. Hang in there! Tell Beckham that we're excited to see him! Happy New Year!!
Ok, that first photo of you, a gun, and a belly is hilarious!
My uncle was a ranch slaughterer and so always had several guns stored in a gun safe. I think they are a must-have when having kids and guns in the same house. Sadly, they're several hundred dollars, but hey, it's worth it, isn't it?
wow, lis! i am impressed! i remember when you and matty went. i may even have pictures of that... anyway, we actually just bought a handgun (before p.o. takes office) and I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. but i have been warned not to go shooting with you...you're too good.
That's my girl, Annie Oakly Henderson! It runs in the female side of our family. We are all crack shots, and it's not because we practice or try, it's a natural God given gift! Way to go girl, I'm not sure I could have hit the side of a barn while I was pregnant with you!
OH my GOSH you haven't changed a bit! And you are so cute with your big belly hangin out there. Way to go, Lis. So glad you're not pregnant anymore!
