St. George Airshow and keeping up

Alright, 6 weeks without a new post is pretty sad.
I realize that blogging isn't what the cool kids do anymore, but I still want to stick with it. This is my life, my journal and my history. I know one day I will look back on all of this and be so glad that I kept it up. So, for all 8 of my followers, here you go.

Sophie and Ollie are doing wonderful. We are at a very happy place in our little family. Bed time has FINALLY become a happy time and not a time of screaming, crying, and everyone being miserable. Sophie has grown out of whatever was bothering her in her first few months of life, and Ollie has stopped throwing Texas sized tantrums at bed time. They are both SO happy and sweet and it makes this mamma VERY VERY happy! Sophie is obsessed with Ollie and watches everything he does. Ollie loves Sophie and loves to talk to her and tell her to be happy when she is sad.

The funnest thing by far that we did in March and all year, was the St. George Airshow.
The show was amazing. A-MAZE-ING. I cannot believe we have airplanes that can do this stuff! I had no idea and I was totally fascinated.
Equally fun though, was that SO much of my family was there. My Dad has a hanger at the airport so we kind of had back stage passes at the show. We had a BBQ right there in our hanger and it was just for us, no crowds (there were reportedly 40,000 people there).
I am so glad I had my camera to catch some of these images and memories of a few of my favorite people on earth.


Before the show, we were at my parents house and Ollie was in his own little heaven in his very favorite ride. Grandpa Kerry's "Trunko". He is OBSESSED with this car.

Then, on to the airshow.
Before the show started, Ollie was pretty excited about being at the airport and the anticipation of the BIIIIIG airplanes that were going to come and go "super fast!!"

sadly, when the show started, his feelings changed, and he was scared to death and clung to Dad for dear life.

aaaaand then he was excited again.

Sophie was pretty excited too

aaaand then not so much (best pouty face EVER)

and I'm getting tired of narrating, so here are just more picture of these awesome people I call family.

My grandpas

Uncle Boone


brother Andy and Mamma


Ollie and cousin Georgie always causing trouble, breaking all the rules.


Jon being superdad because I was busy picture taking.

and both of our kids zonking out at one time or another. So much fun... so tired.

SUCH a fun day. My parents worked so hard to make this happen and I am so so grateful! I will remember this forever. Great great day.
