Tyler Cheyenne is Here!!!!!!!

Tyler Cheyenne born on March 1 2007 at 8:23 pm. 9 lbs 5 oz. 21 3/4 inches. We barely made it to the hospital in time! By the time we got admitted Amy was already 8 centimeters and within and within 55 min Tyler was born. Here are some pictures of our new baby girl......

Our New Car!!!!!

We finally upgraded to a bigger vehicle that will fit our entire family comfortably. Its a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer........ALOT bigger than our little tiny Escort!!!! Its so nice to be able to stretch your legs and still have room for everyone else!!!

Look ... it's MINI ME !!!!!! Aren't they cute?

New Power Wheels!!!!

Brandon got a new Ford F-150 Power Wheels truck since he liked His friends firetruck one so much.
He got frustrated because it went a little faster than he remembered. So he did the "play dead" thing to show mom and dad that he was done with the truck.

He thought it was fun at first and took off before dad was ready. He had a lot of fun the night before while we were charging the battery. He sat in it to watch TV and everything. He was really excited to take it outside in the morning until he started going to fast. Since then he has yet to go and drive it again.

Trip to Springerville

Well we went to Springerville for a week right before Christmas to visit family and just get away for a few days. It was nice to be home and spend time with everyone but it didn't seem like we had enough time with everybody......

On our way back to the airport it had snowed so much that they had to close down the interstate so we got stuck at a little casino/ hotel. Luckily they had Santa visit that night so Brandon and Daddy got to get a picture taken with him ......


We took a Drive up around Big Lake and there was a small herd of Elk that ran across the road as we were driving up.....
Brandon thought the bed at the hotel was a good substitute for a trampoline.
The antler is as big as he is......
After our Drive to Big Lake Grandpa Oltesvig took us to see his new motor grater at work and Brandon got to help him drive it.

He's Finally Home!!!!!!

Well Mike is finally home for good!!!! He landed at Ft Campbell around 10 am Thursday morning. It was one of the best days of our lives!!!! We didnt get a ton of pictures but a few good ones. It was so good just to have him home and know he isn't going anywhere else!!!!

Woo Hoo!!!! The plane has landed!!!
There were so many soldiers on the flight we looked and looked and he was finally near the end. It was so cold outside that as soon as he walked past us we litterally ran inside the hangar!!!
They all got in formation and marched in as a group. Mike is in the very front about the 3rd from the front so you can't reall y see him but he is there!!!!
Waiting, waiting waiting. They were delayed adn hour and 15 inutes which seemd to crawl by. Brandon was a trooper and was fairly good through the whole thing. he did start to get ancy towards the end though. But it was all worth in the end!!!!



Brandon wouldn't let go of daddy the whole time!!! When they had to get back in formation and go to the Brigade area he got so upset because he thought daddy got back on the plane to leave again. It was so cute to see him and his daddy so happy.
And we are finally a family again!!!! It was so good to see him home again~!!!!! We are so proud of him for everything he does!!!!!

Here I am at around the 6 month marker. Over halfway there!!!! Yay!!! Still no name picked out though..............

To Infinity...........And Beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Buzz Lightyear" at our Company level Halloween event. The candy table in the background was his favorite spot all night. And he also won Best Toddler Costume. Being the only toddler dressed up couldn't have hurt either......

Fall Fest 2006

The fall fest this year wasn't a huge one but there were a lot of inflatables for Brandon to jump in and he got to paint an awesome pumpkin. It now looks like we have a disco ball sitting on our front porch, because of all the paint and glitter on it. He has lots of fun even though he did get stuck in one of the inflateables and had to be rescued by the lady in charge if it.
