We went shooting this weekend. “We” is a misnomer.  I did not actually fire a gun. I took pictures.

For some reason, firing a gun seems to ignite total masculinity. Trust me. Take a look at the pictures.

At our house, when someone’s extra masculine, we say they’ve got their “man boots” on. Well this weekend, EVERYONE had their man boots on. Even Cassie. (I had to include her in the pictures.  Hello – she did a “man” pose too! How could I not include her?)

My dad is the best shot – duh. He can tell the person to “pull!” (to release the clay pigeon) while the gun’s relaxed by his hip and still blow it out of the air. My bros were pretty freaking amazing too – Logan hasn’t been shooting for almost 3 years, and he blew EVERY SINGLE clay pigeon he fired at to smithereens. Reece keeps a cool enough head that if he misses the first shot, he can get off the second while the clay pigeon’s still in the air. It never stands a chance against him. Wade is only 13 and is a pretty good shot. And Cassie – she TOTALLY rocks. If you’ll notice, the gun is almost as big as her. I guess sometimes, you’ve just got it. Enter man boots.

Leila & WadeLast Night

Me: Goodnight Wade.  See ya tomorrow.

Wade: Don’t say that!  I could die or something.

Me: That’s a horrible thing to say!

Wade: Well, don’t jinx me!

Update

Wade made it through the night. Good thing – I’d hate to feel guilty about that one!

Real Men Open Doors

Blog Comments Off

And real women let them.Real Men

My Dad has opened the door for my Mom as long as I can remember. And so do my brothers. In fact, my brothers even open the door for ME. Even the car door. When I get in. And when I get out. (Yes ladies, someday they will make someone a wonderful husband. If they do that at 12 and 15, just wait until they are really crazy about someone. After all, I’m just their sister.)

I don’t consider it a slight to my gender that my Dad and my brothers show respect for women. To me, it’s the ultimate mark of manliness. So a special thanks to all the real men out there. YOU. ARE. THE. MAN.
