F-16 Graduation

Luke had his F-16 Graduation Ceremony last night. I am so proud of him and all he has accomplished in his career so far. I was able to fly a F-16 simulator with him on Friday and it became very clear to me very quickly just how hard it is to fly. I didn't crash but I didn't do very well either. The Lord has truely given him the gift of flight and I am so humbled by his dedication and hard work to use his gift to the best of his ability. YOU GO HONEY!!

We clean up pretty good

I am actually showing a little, but you can't really tell in the pictures.

My Two Blondies

Just thought I would post some recent pictures of my two favorite guys.

Landen loves it when daddy comes home in this flight suit. Flight suit + patches = FUN!

Getting messy with daddy, as usual. :)

Landen getting his first haircut. Doesn't he look handsome. :) He did SO good!! He sat on Luke's lap the whole time and sucked on his sucker.

My little cheeseball!!

Come on Toby, shake.

Back Home Again In Indiana

Sorry it has taken me so long to add new posts. Between me being extremely preggo sick and traveling I haven't had a chance. Landen and I went home to Indiana for three weeks. It was so nice being with friends and family for so long. It was also nice to have a little bit of a relief from 24/7 mommy duties and let everyone else love on Landen. Having a newly mobile child and being sick is not a good combination so the rest was much needed. I don't know why they call it "morning sickness" because it doesn' just happen in the morning, no, it's ALL THE TIME!! Anyways, enough of me complaining, here are some pictures of our trip. There aren't many because stupid me forgot to pack my camera charger and my battery went dead half way through our trip. Still, their better than nothing, right?

Waiting to board the plane to go to Indiana

Mesmorized by planes, just like his daddy.

At the zoo with Grandma, Aunt Karen, Shelbi, and Connor

I decided to throw in this picture too. I designed the set display for Vacation Bible School at our church in Phoenix. It was so much fun and turned out great. I wish I had a picture of the final set display, but this is close.

Take me out to the ball game

Landen at his first Indians game back home in Indianapolis. He had a blast!!

Stay tuned for more pictures of our trip home.

Grand Canyon Tour

Yesterday, Luke got to fly over the Grand Canyon. Here are some videos an Instructor Pilot in the back seat of the other jet was able to take of Luke flying. Can you believe that is really him flying?!! Crazy!!

Fun In The Sun

We went to the Splash Pad at Westgate this morning, where Landen got to play with his friends Aria and Talon. Last week he was pretty hesitant about going into the water, but today he had NO fear! Look at him go!!

Waiting for the fun to begin. Where's the water? (We got there before the fountain started) :)

Oh, it's starting! Woohoo!! Let's GO!!!

Baby Like Oreos!!

Landen's first Oreo cookie experience. He thoroughly enjoyed it!! The pictures were so priceless, I just couldn't post one.
