The Big 4!!!!!!

Well Brandon turned 4 the beginning of the month and we had a big party for him since we were finally home for the occasion! He was so excited that all we heard about for days was his party. The theme was cars and trucks so he had a monster truck pinata.

He was all excited and when everyone started singing he wasn't so sure about it all.
Making a wish........

Amy made a truck cake to go along with the theme. Brandon thought it was pretty cool.

No where are a few pictures from other things. For Halloween we all dressed up but then before we left Mike thought it was wierd and changed back into normal clothes. A zombie, an angel, a flapper and a Jedi. ( What a combination)

Afew days ago we found Tyler had learned to sit up in her crib. The nthe other night we watched her pull herself all the way up to standing position. She thinks she is all big now that she can do all that.

A Drive In the Mountains

Since we havent been up in the mountains in quite a while we decided to take a drive since we were all finally at home at one time. It was so nice that day and the kids had a lot of fun. Brandon loves pictures and he had a blast tromping around the mountain.
Tyler even likes the outdoors. She always laughs and kicks whenever we take her out.
Finally an updated family picture.
Aren't they cute sittin' side by side? They definitely love eachother.
Sitting on a tree stump all by herself. More pictures to come whenever we have time again, we promise. One of these days our life might slow down a little bit.........lol.

New updated pics......

So we've been super busy since we moved and haven't had a lot of time for things liek the computer. Today I had a little extra time before work and decided to add a few new photos for everyone to see. She loves her food. She especially likes to hang out and eat a cookie every once in a while.
This is our little angel baby. See how the light shines down on the halo? We thought that was kind of interesting.
Here is another angel picture. this was a favorite so we entered her in the local baby contest with this picture. Wish her luck!!!!!!!!!!!
Brandon loves animals. He really likes his aunties puppy!!! Most of the time we think the dog enjoys playing too.
Here she is stylin' in daddy's glasses.

Week of the Eagles Air Show 2007

Well this last weekend the Week of the Eagles included an Air Show. They had re-enactments, displays and everything from WWII up to the present day. It was hot but we had a lot of fun and Brandon loved all the planes, tanks, and helicopters. WWII era plane
WWII re-enactors on top of tank
WWII medic truck
re-enactors marching

more planes......
Brandon thought the Vietnam helicopters were a lot of fun
Daddy and Brandon in front of another helicopter
Then he got to see where the gunner would sit during Vietnam
Then it was mom's turn......

Aren't I stylin'??????
WWII Air Assault re-enactment. We learned that during the war, foot soldiers got paid a whopping $21 a month but if you were a parachute jumper you got paid $50 a month!!!! Over double the pay to float into enemy territory!!!!!!
They had a bunch of different aircraft out on display and Brandon loved this plane. He got to see what the cargo area was like and then...........
He got to play pilot and play with the controls in the cockpit!!!!!
Some demonstrators performed a free fall jump. The pink smoked showed you where they were and how fast they were falling. At the last minute they would open their chute and land to safety

What a day!!!!!!
