Even though I hate guns, Andrew is not a hunter, and as far as I know Braylon has never seen a real gun, he has become obsessed with them. Now, we do live in West Virginia, and both my Dad and my father-in-law hunt (actually most of our family members hunt), but I still do not understand where Braylon's need to play gun started...its like what Paula was saying on her blog about Lydia being naturally drawn to girlie things like make up and tea parties. My Dad thought it was just awful that Braylon was making pretend guns out of Legos and sticks and told me..."That boy needs a toy gun...I played with guns when I was growing up and I've never killed anybody." So when Braylon went to stay with Mom and Dad last week, he came home with a gun. He loves it! He told me the second day that he had it: "I love my cuddly gun!" Thanks Dad! Anyway, this weekend while at Drew's parent's, Braylon spotted some deer in the yard. He ran to our car, got out his rifle and chased the deer "shooting" all the while.

That is sooo funny. It does blow my "she is just copying me" theory b/c like you said, Drew does not own a gun and Bray has never seen him shoot one.
You should have seen this little guy! He reminded me of all of the bigger guys. It must be instinct! I too am not avid fan of guns. I have never bought any of the boys guns. Lewis turned out to be a hunter and Andrew has never even expressed an interest! Go figure!
Anyway cute pictures Miranda. I always OHHHHHHHH and AHHHHHHHHHH over your great pictures!
