All the boys went up to the farm today to shoot their various rifles, shotguns and handguns.
They loaded up the car...
Prepared the targets...
(I will not apologize for this target! haha)
And shot!

West Point and New York City
Here are some of the pictures of Hogwarts/I mean West Point!! It was absolutely beautiful there - it really was like a castle. I would LOVE to have gone to school there. (okay, not really. Couldn't hack the military part.)
Jacob on the tour
View from the library balcony
This is the dining hall
Reminds me so much of the Great Hall in Hogwarts!
After West Point we went on to New York City for a couple of days.
Jacob and I went to see an exhibit at Discovery Museum called "Art of the Brick." It was phenomenal - an artist had built amazing sculptures out of nothing but legos.
And we all went to see the Avengers exhibit at the same museum. Pretty cool also.
Had dinner at an Irish Pub
New York Public Library
View from the Empire State Building at night
We saw this homeless man in the street with three puppies on his lap
Jacob and Hannah at Times Square
Went to see two movies at this theatre
Got Lobster Tails (a pastry) from the Cake Boss bakery
Our hotel was right next to this shop...mmmmmmmmmmm.......
Lego entrance
Jacob observing lego art
Ryan and I spent one evening going to Madame Toussads wax museum while the others went to the Empire State Building. We laughed a ton at their 4D cheesy superhero movie, but we had so much fun together. I really enjoyed my one on one time with Ryan. Then we walked around Times Square for a bit and went back to the room.
We wanted to share this piece of cheesecake but up on the 29th floor of the hotel we had no plastic forks or anything, so Ryan came up with a grand idea - he ripped some cardboard from the box it was in into two "scoops" and we ate the cheesecake with cardboard utensils! It was quite a memory!! Eating expensive cheesecake while viewing NYC with cardboard scoops! haha
Love my little guy.

LION KING
Tonight was one of the most wonderful nights of my life! The entire family went to dinner and then to the Kennedy Center to see Lion King! Dinner was awesome and the musical was phenomenal, but the best part of all was that we were all together as a family, everyone dressed up, happy and enjoying a beautiful evening together. All the men were dressed up and looking so handsome, and Hannah never looked more beautiful. I was SUCH a proud mom.
We started off with dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Totally yummy.
Then we went to the Kennedy Center for the show!
The costumes, music, singing and staging were breathtaking. I literally enjoyed every single moment of the show.
Like I said, Hannah has never looked so beautiful. So grown up. So OLD!!
What a wonderful night I will never forget.

Hannah's latest masterpiece
Recently Hannah wrapped up her art lessons with her teacher of seven years. This was her final piece with her teacher, and it is breathtaking. Looks even better in person.

New York trip

Jacob's last rifle practice. For now...
We arrived, and it was hot, so I sat in the car and watched Danny and the two shooters unload all their equipment (which currently for Hannah consists of a pair of ear plugs). Someday soon she will have her own equipment! :):)

Hannah's cute face peeking in

SHEETZ!! Nothing else needs to be said.
The book on tape series Jacob and Danny have been listening to for I believe a couple of years now. Sad thing is, I don't think they are going to get to finish it before Jacob leaves us!
Traditional snack
The reason practice got cancelled early. Rain, thunder, and lightning. Jacob's first ever practice was a downpour, as was his last...
