Happy Birthday J.W.!!!!

Happy Birthday Honey!!!

Okay, so I am a little late with this post. Did you expect anything different? Sammie made a really cute "Happy Birthday" banner from flying charts and Felicity made Daddy some kind of a picture with mountains on it (I'm guessing because he likes to ride in the mountains). He also got a new pair of tennis shoes and some hiking boots and a psp game.

When he came home from his trip he took the girls to see Body Worlds at The Leonardo downtown. This was Sammie's present to him. I didn't go because I just can't handle looking at "once living" bodies with no skin. They all really enjoyed the exhibit. Sammie wrote some really cool pictures and observations down in a notebook they gave her at the mueseum. I am going to keep that forever!!!

I can't believe my man is sooooo old!!!!! Thirty-four used to seem decades away. But ya know what, I'm only nine months behind!

Say Cheese






Felicity just loves to get her picture taken. Good thing since I haven't gotten professional shots done since her 1 year birthday. I really intend to every weekend, it just hasn't happened yet. Whenever she is feeling cute she says "take a picture". I almost always have the camera handy, but if not, she is happy with a pretend one, as long as you say "cute" after the click!



Another ATV Trip


J.W. just finished 6 days home and so after he worked his little butt off cleaning the house for me, mowing the lawn, winterizing a million different machines in the garage (No kidding), and doing the laundry, we thought he deserved a break.
We went to this place he discovered from his moto-head buddies called the Knolls. It is about halfway to Wendover. It was really fun. There we sand dunes and also lots of hills with trails to ride on. It had just rained the day before so the sand was perfect! We were the only ones out there and had the place entirely to ourselves. I know we would not have liked it half as well if the dunes were crowded with people and we were worrying about the crazies running into us.


Here is a picture of J riding around in a "bowl". I tried it once but my balance is so off that it was just too scary for me.



J.W.'s latest adjustments to Sammie's ride really made a difference. He switched the gas from a thumb type push thingy to a twist grip. Sammie's poor little thumb used to get so sore after just a half hour of riding! He also put on a new rear shock and now she's not bouncing around so much. Sammie did awesome! She rode for a really long time all around the dunes. She is becoming quite the good little rider.

Of course, being the little beach bum that she is, she had to take a break playing in the sand.


I rode with Felicity for just a little bit on the 4 wheeler but as much fun as it was, it was not comfortable at all so Felicity and I spent the afternoon in the truck watching DVD's and reading and snacking. It was a very fun day even if we didn't get to ride that much.

Airplane Decorating


I got the baby's crib bedding in the mail and I LOVE IT! I am excited to do an aviation themed nursery, although I'm not sure where that will be yet. Let me know if you find anything cute that would go along with this set! I only got the crib bedding, not the accessories.
