Some Photography

Daddy and his girl

Love

The boys cousin flat Gavin came for a visit.  Here they are swinging on the swings~

Bridger and I went out for a drive to show Gavin around.  We enjoyed being out in nature and taking pictures.  I love this one on one time.  I love it when I can take pictures of them too.  They grow up so fast and I want to treasure these moments.  I love my boys, my baby girl and my handsome husband.

Speaking of these kiddos growing up so fast.  I came across some old photos and had to share.

A place out in New Meadows where Joseph used to cut hay

Those eyes!

In Yellowstone National Park on our way home from spending a Summer in Wyoming

Pictures of Daddy and the Boys when we left the Ranch to Join the Air Force.  They have Changed and grown so much over the last few years. 

Treasure the moments while they last

Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery but today is a Gift that is why they call it the Present

May at it's best

If these are not the most adorable pictures, I don't know what is!!

So small....

So sweet

What?!  This is one of those bouncy balloons that has the rubber band on them and you bounce them off your hand....Well the previous night during bath time he filled one up and tied it.  We found it the next day.  It was Huge!!  I love this boy and his creative ways :)

She's a crawling folks

Arya is full on Mobile now.  She is everywhere and putting anything little in her mouth too.  She fell into the garage because the garage door was open.  She loves the independence of being able to go and look at something on her own.  She started waving this last week too.  I will hopefully catch video of that too.  It is so cute.  She inspects her hand while doing it like "my hand is doing that?! Wow!"

Get ready....Get Set.... Here goes Gideon!!

The Sunday before Mothers day was a beautiful Sunny warm day.  After church we spent our afternoon doing just this.....So nice.   We just need weather like this again.  It has been Rainy and cold here all month. 

I am in LOVE

 so sweet

getting sleepy

On May 10th Spangdahlem AFB celebrated it's 60th Anniversary.  We went and saw some of the displays

This is us in the armored truck

Arya enjoying her cruiser

 Looking forward to actually being able to have and use guns again to show this boy how you should be  around guns

In the hummer

pedal carts...Bridger was too small to reach the pedals so Gideon got to do it and he one of his friends from his class, Devin, joined him as well

The boys got to be in the cockpit of a F-16

this is a gatling gun for an A-10 Warthog fighter jet

The boys got to go into a smoke house for what you do in case of a fire.  They loved it.  It was really smokey. 

 I didn't get pictures of Daddy's booth but he was holding people when they were volunteering to be tazed.  He assisted with 70 different tazing's that day.  I guess that is what happens when a whole bunch of airman get around each other, "dare you to do it"  There booth had the largest crowd drawn to it.

We had another fun day the following week during Police week.  As a field trip for Pre-school I took the kids to a display where they had a police dog biting demontration, the kids got to beat up a guy in a padded red suit.  They got to use a padded baton and hit him.  That was funny.  Some kids would go all out hitting him and other's like Bridger were really shy and didn't want to swing too hard.  :)  It was cute.  They also had tazing demonstrations for any poor dumb fool who volunteered.  Well you get a huge crowd of kids and after they see one poor person get tazed they want more.  So begins the chant, "More More More!!!"  It was funny.
