Aidan...

My little boy (who is not so little any more) can write his name...

...and for your viewing pleasure here is the back side of his paper. (A monster just in case you are wondering.)

So are you wondering???

So are you wondering what we are going to name our little guy? He does have a name... and it's not a super big secret but I thought I would keep all of you out there in blog-land in suspense. So until the he makes his arrival I will give you this to ponder...



...This is one of the letters I painted the other day for his name in his room! Have fun pondering :)

A reminder...

Just got done reading this book...

...about this little girl...

... who died of a brain tumor. It was her story of her struggle with the illness and the lessons that she taught others along the way. A quick read, a sad read... but reminds me to hug my kids a little tighter each night and to enjoy the little moments and not take them for granted!

What I Love...

.... About little girls!!!

Monster Truck Show

The kids and I went to the Monster Truck Show this past weekend (with my family.) The original plan was that David would go with Aidan but when he couldn't get work off Brinn and I went in his place. I was not sure how Brinn would handle the noise but it didn't seem to bother her.

One day Brinn will get rid of this silly smile! and yes, Aidan's eyes were closed. After 5-6 attempts this was the best shot we got.

The kids with Grandma... Brinn had little ear plugs on under that headband that held them in place.


Brinn with Lauren and Nic... also there but not pictured was Grandpa and Austin. Sorry guys I did not get any pics of you! But hey, I hardly make an appearance in my own pictures.

And I had to post this picture for my kids. Aidan took the picture of the dog truck and it was by far my kids favorite. Any time you asked Brinn which truck she wanted to win she always pointed to the dog truck even if it was not racing.

Have You Noticed?

Have you noticed the ticker counting down on the right of the screen? Believe me... I have! I feel huge and still have 6 weeks left from today! Come on little guy... hurry up and cook because I am ready for you any time!

Question 4 ya...

??? Any one have any helpful web sights for preschool ideas??? Crafts, themes, projects, resources???

On The Wings Of Love...

Why am a such a sucker for cheesy, reality TV shows??? Well, I am and I have come to terms with it! My vote is for Alli... normal, down to earth, cute!

I just can't wait till these girls realize how unglamorous the life of a pilot's wife is. I laughed when Jake (the Bachelor) talked about having that special someone meet him in Belgium for waffles. We have had the opportunity to go to some great places... but the day to day life of a pilot's wife is something little to be desired. I love the fact that David gets to do what he loves for his career... but other than that it can be a really hard road and really hard on any sort of normal family life.

But I have to admit... I too am a sucker for a man in a pilot uniform... especially THIS MAN!
