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

Then he got to see where the gunner would sit during Vietnam

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!!!!!!

New Pictures of the Kiddos

She's getting so big... We can't believe it !!!!

Brandon was so tired at the end of the day he couldn't even finish his sucker!



Tyler thinks she is too big to face you in the snugli so now she has to face out to be happy. She also thought it tasted pretty good. See all the drool?

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.
