Air Force Museum

The girls and I headed to the Air Force Museum the other day. We enjoyed looking at all the planes and extras and we read as much information and learned as much as we could.....not sure if any of us could pass a test, but maybe after a few more visits, we will remember some of the history and information.

I love how the old air craft have really cool pictures on them.

Two seater, not sure what kind of jet this was...I was too busy keeping an eye on the girls to read the info on this one. There was a few little boys that wanted to knock the girls out of the way to play in the cockpits.

The above picture was taken for Sarah.....this is what we have recently called her.

Birds eye view....not that I would want to be the bird looking down the front of this aircraft.

I love this picture of some of the first women pilots....the writing on the plane says....Pistol Packing Mamas!!

Meghan or Jenna took the picture of the blue and yellow plane.

My three pretty little ladies.

small world..... after all

Our neighbors from England are in the area and we were able to meet their new family member....baby girl Kate.

She was a big hit with the girls. Sarah even wanted to hold baby Kate.

It was really cool to see Sarah looking like such a big girl and was really interested in Kate.

Sarah did try and steal Kate's paci!!

My big girls are in love with all babies, so it was such a treat to hold and love on Kate. They are pros at holding babies and turn into little mommies when it comes to caring for babies.

Rob has also run into another "old" neighbor from England!

It really is a small world and I love how we meet back up with friends from all over.

would be wordless....but

The past few weeks, I think about posting just pictures for wordless Wednesday...but I don't think to do it again until after Wednesday!ha

So this post has pictures and words.

This first picture is a little blurry, but I wanted to share it because Sarah has a sweet little smile.

This last picture is a little blurry too. It's hard to get a picture of Sarah...she is on the go and stays busy. I mean

she is NONSTOP!

light changes

We changed out the ceiling fan in the dining room. We like fans, but not in the dining room.

Next up paint!

birthday

I wanted to show off my yummy birthday cake. Made by Rob and decorated by Meghan and Jenna. I think I need to let them go a little wild with sprinkles a little more often.......

I had a great 30 something birthday! ha I'm actually not embarrassed of my age. I just have a hard time believing I'm actually 38.....because I feel like I'm in my 20s!ha

Shopping, lunch out and watched the girls play in the water fountains at the Greene.

I didn't shop as much as I wanted, but the girls were in great need of some water therapy! Jenna told Rob and I last night....."when I have kids and we go out like we did today....I'm going to do what they want first."

front flower bed...before and after

I looking for a few more small plants to put in this bed. I did pull up most of the bulbs and will replant them sometime later....just not sure where I want them.

before....

before....

I leveled the dirt and fixed the bricks (made them straight).

I also had to fight with some vines (not shown in the before pics). I have a feeling I haven't won that battle and will need to keep pulling out the vines for a while. I wasn't sure what it was and it didn't look manageable to me.

after....

after.....

The plants and flowers should fill in nicely without looking over crowded. I really enjoyed planting and fixing this area and I am already thinking about what to do with the bushes (some dead, some just not my style) in front of the windows out front. I will also post some pictures of my garden soon. I have some plants coming up and I have two tomatoes that have made an appearance.

Friday night fun

This is us partying it up on a friday night!

Rob has almost finished mowing the lawn for the weekend.....

Meghan and Jenna found the bag of cherries in the frig.......(with Sissy keeping a close eye on them) and they are enjoying a small bowl of them.

Sarah's in her favorite spot....

drawing on the Doodle sketch.

And here is a rare glimpse at me;)

This is us on a not so wild and crazy friday night.
