Grand Junction Air Show 2008

So we have a tradition with our little family to attend the Grand Junction Air Show. We went with Rusty's brother and his family and my sister Jenny and her family. We had a blast. The air show was really cool. We saw the blue angels and f-15 and f-16's fly. I thought the girls would hate it but they loved it. We live right by Buckley Air Force so we see planes all the time just not that close. They really enjoyed it. It was really great to see my sister and her family. She has the cutest girl(besides my own). Livy is a character. We had a nice weekend with them. I am glad they decided to come. We will try again next year, but I think we will get our own hotel rooms this time.LOL. We shared a very small hotel room and it was a little crowded, but we made the best of it. Thanks again for coming everyone we had a great time. Enjoy the pictures.

So the girls started preschool. It is just one day a week for an hour and a half. It gives me a break to do some shopping. They didn't like it at first but now love it. Grammie Griffin just came to visit and bought them some balerina outfits. They really enjoy them. Thanks grammie. Nothing else really exciting go on just normal day to day things. We are planning a trip next weekend to Grand Junction for the airshow. My sister Jenny and her family are meeting us and Rusty's brother Scoty and his family are also coming. We are really looking forwad to it. Enjoy the pictures.

We had a great time. We had homemade rootbeer, ribs and corn on the cob. It was fun. We all gave my dad a pressure washer whiched he as wanted for a long time. Thanks to everyone who helped me. The cake my mom made was delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Homemade german chocolate. You can't get better than that. I love you dad and appreciate all that you have done for me in my life. I could not ask for a better dad. Enjoy the pictures. I did not take the kids. So I had a good time with my sisters. The kids stayed with dad for the weekend. For those who don't really know my family. Livy is my sister Jenny's girl and Xander is my sister Andrea's little boy.

Well we just got back from visitng my family in Utah. We had a great time. We all got to see Tyler after 3 weeks and needless to say we love him. I know that my family enjoyed him being there. My sister Lori especially. They have a great bond and he loves her very much. We spent a week hanging out and having fun. The kids all got to play and I think they had a really great time. Thanks to my dad for driving us out there. He flew out to denver and then drove us back to utah. He must really love us. Thanks Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rusty then flew out and stayed for one day and drove us home. What can I say I am a wimp when it comes to driving by myself. We had so much fun and can't wait for next summer.

We are very excited that Ben and Jenny and Livy are coming for thanksgiving. It will be fun to have them here.

As for our summer it is going by fast. Tyler starts first grade on Aug 5th. He is so excited. We love and miss you all.

Happy 4th of July

We just had a really lazy weekend. We stayed home and went to our pool and had dinner at a friends house. We really missed Tyler. He is in Utah with my family. We had a good time with the girls. Nothing really exciting going on at our house. Rusty's sister Amy from Memphis just moved here so Tyler has another cousin his age close by. We are excited. I am posting some pictures of the girls on the 4th in their outfits and a picture of their colored legs. They decided to take a pen and draw on themselves. The joys of having two year olds. They are so cute and we love them to death. I love you Tyler and I hope you are having fun in Utah.
