Top Shot Birthday Party

Our family really likes the show Top Shot. Of course since hubby does competition shooting that is not a surprise. In some of the major matches for USPSA we have meet several of the contestants before. Remember when I posted (HERE) about Vegas? We got to meet some of the contestants from Top Shot that are not in the competition world, but were on the show.
The twins wanted to have a Top Shot Birthday Party. I made the invites below and included inside to please bring eye protection. Most parents would probably freak out if they saw that on the invite, not our kids friends. ha! They are pretty familiar with our families hobby. I made the bullet holes with my piercing tool and copic E25.


Here is a little video we edited from the party of the kids shooting their stages.



The birthday boys and their bullseye cupcakes from the party. The placemats are targets we cut out and placed at each kids seat. Curtis still has his safety glasses on and Nathan is making a silly face. The kids had so much fun!

Thanks for taking a peek at our biggest joy in life! This sure was a fun day. Have a wonderful day.

Now for the winners in Vegas! DH had a business trip last week in Vegas and I actually got to go on this trip. Very last minute, we rushed around trying to line up grandma and grandpa to watch the kids and Ranger. Let the school now we were going to be gone etc. Flew out to Vegas for the first time ever for both of us. So this was going to be a little bit of fun with business at the same time. We had a great time with the little bit we got to see. This is us on a very cold night looking out down the strip. It was about 30 degrees at night and we did not bring the warm enough jackets but this worked. Sorry for the blurry picture. I was cold trying to smile. ha!
While at Vegas the Shot Show as going on. This is a version of CHA for the gun and competition world which we compete in. More DH competiting than me. Anyways while at this show we got to meet up with the Top Shot contestants. If you watch this show on History you know what I am talking about. Several of the contestants on each season are competitive shooters and we have meet at matches before, but to meet the ones that are not is super cool. Such as George Reinas. Oh how adorable is he! :0) Very cool guy! We were able to chat with him quite as bit as not a lot of people were around. We thanked him first for his serving our country and keeping us safe. Also wanted to let him know that what he did on Season Two with the last challenge was a great teaching lesson for our boys. He was great to talk with and ofcourse I had to get a photo. My sisters are so jealous! hee hee Awwwweeee... loved it!

Then we meet at the Top Shot reunion booth Chris Reed the winner of Season Two. Chris is very genuine and made me feel like we had known each other for 30 years. Very funny guy and it was so loud that he had to talk in my ear so we were practically hugging. HA! Talk about coming back from some amazing injuries this is the guy. In the background you can see a few of the others from the season and the new one starting here in a few weeks.

For the last we have Dustin Ellermann. He is just as humble in person as he is on the show. What a down to earth guy. We got to talk a bit with him off to the side. Doesn't care much for the major attention as you would imagine. Talked about the camp and how the twins wanted to go to it this summer. ha He said might be a bit of a trip for us from way over here. They are doing good the family is just happy to have him home again. Very sweet man!

We chatted with a few of the others that we already know. Funny how in this sport you get to actually *talk* to the people where like Golf of Football you can't talk to the celebrate as much. If that makes sense. Anyways had a great time away in Vegas. It was not at all what I thought, very clean and our hotel was great. I don't gamble or drink (GASP I know sorry boring mom here) ha Taking in all the sights and cool stuff was great, wish we had more time during the day so we didn't cram it all into the evenings. Managed to get 25k steps aday though. Lots of walking! Well we now have to shovel snow off the driveway. Our plane was delayed because of the snow and freezing rain we got. I am just glad to finally be home! Have a great day!
