For Easter this year we were at Nanny and Paw Paw's house and had a blast. We got to spend lots of time with Jackson's Aunt Ree and Uncle DeDe and also got lots of time with Heath and Leslie and Dave and Robyn. We were so busy that I didn't get a lot of pictures. Late in the afternoon on Easter Sunday we went out for some fishing and target practice. Nothing like a Texas Easter right?! Anyway, first I will say that Nanny is the best shot, and secondly that I didn't let Jackson see the guns but he sure did love the loud noise! Two of us would run around and play with Jack while the others were shooting. Jax was going crazy and saying "mo!" each time a shot was fired. Also, the reason I didn't let Jackson see the guns or watch them being handled is because I think he needs to be older to be exposed to stuff like that. Jay and I both want him to take gun safety classes when he is 12 but at this age I don't want to create any curiosity towards guns. I know I am super paranoid but I think in this case and with how precocious Jackson has proven to be. . .that's ok. All of our relatives have all of their guns under very strict lock and key. Ok, enough of my rambling:)

As you can see Nanny is not the type of Granny you want to meet in a dark alley. . .she packs heat and is a great shot!
Jackson's reaction to Jay catching a fish. He kept saying the fish was hot like a fire. . .who knows?!

Ahhhh! Yall are going to sleep here tomorrow night! WooHoo!!!!!
Looks like a great time and I'm with you 100% on the gun safety stuff.
I think 19 months is a little young for target practice...even for kids who aren't as fast, creative, smart, and mischievous as Jax, so good thinkin', Mom!
