Why would I remove Tim's post?

So, I've been working on getting a new post together because we had an early B-day party for Adilyn since Tim was going to be at Survival. But, it's difficult to get things together since I'm at my parents and I still don't have it ready with pictures and the video. I did, however, want to let my husband know though.....I didn't remove your last post, either it didn't save or it's old enough that it was archived! Such a cutie....he doesn't blog too often! :)

We did have a chance to take some family photos with Tim's family while in SLC. For the heck of it we decided to take a picture of the 3 of us and some with Adilyn. Stay tuned for our little Addy and her 1-year birthday party.....

Hey ladies and gents I thought I would take a moment and "blog" its been a while and I see that Crista has removed my last post. Fisrt an update on me and where I am for that last few days I have been in Salt Lake City spending time with the family before I head back to Del Rio then Spokane Wa for yet 3 more weeks of training. This time it is Survival training. Imagine 5 fun filled days in the mountains in April with no food followed by SERE training if you don't know what that is google it, I'll only say it sucks, and I will be glad when its over. After that is Del Rio, Altus then "Dover or Bust". Can't wait to get there and start downing crab cakes like they are going out of style. I 'm also very excited to start flying operationaly as all of my flying to this point has been training. I hope to see Europe and Iraq from 30,000 ft this summer, and who knows where else.

Now I would like to make mention that there is a lot of "frilly" stuff going on all over these blog pages, gentlemen its time to "butch it up a little". I'll take the fisrt step and post some photos of the greatest Airlifter the world has ever know. The GlobeMASTER is aptley named, and after having logged some 30 hours between training sorties and rides to Tacoma and Charlston I am quiet sure I fly the greatest Lifter that has ever split air molecules at FL340 or FL003 for that matter. Here are some more photos for your viewing enjoyment. In Closing "Gentlemen, Step it up, and good day to you ladies out there and "Above All" Blue Skies". (p.s. pun intended)

It's All About Baby Steps...

I wish I were referring to Adilyn when I say "Baby Steps" but not quite yet. She is walking along everything and standing on her own but she isn't taking those steps yet. What I am referring to is.....we're leaving Altus and we're 1 step closer to Dover! So, yes, we're moving again! Tim has his 3 flights left and then he's finished. He was told Wednesday afternoon that he'd be going to Charleston on Friday so he left this morning and he'll be home Monday night (he'll be stopping in Florida and Key West before getting to Charleston...don't know that he'll be able to see some sights though). This leaves Addy and I to pack up and clean the apartment this weekend. Hopefully I won't go crazy because all she does lately is hang on me and whine....any ideas on how to get her to stop that?? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!! I was hoping for a break while she naps but as I type this I can hear her in her crib, another nap cut short...only 40 minutes MAX. :(

Anyway, Grandma Julie comes Monday so she can drive to Utah with us, we'll probably drive away on Wednesday and Tim will leave when he finishes his flights. How ready I am to move on. I've met some great people in our ward though, so it's a little bitter sweet to leave.

Boredom in Oklahoma....

I know I haven't posted much lately, mostly because there's been a bit of boredom with us. The weather hasn't been good so we've been cooped up inside mostly. I did realize, however, that Adilyn has been doing some fun stuff so I thought I would share. She is becoming such a character and has such a fun personality. She has become very cuddly and loving....which, for us is SOOOO fun since she was NOT a cuddly baby at all! She absolutely wanted her space and to be left alone. She rests her head on you and has become very fond of "blankie's". She wave's "bye-bye", is trying some sign language (her own version), loves to eat anything off mom's plate--even asparagus, bb-q ribs, peas, etc. She is becoming a very good typer on dad's laptop and she is attached to the remote and even turns on her Signing Time or Baby Einstein DVD's (she, of course, has no idea what she's doing but Tim and I get a kick out of the fact that anytime she gets a hold of it she turns it to "her" show). Here's some pictures we took on Valentine's and the last couple weeks. The pig hat is a gift from "Aunt Sarah" in Clovis, NM...so cute with an outfit and bib.

Watching Baby Einstein

Calvin is just her little best friend!

Her favorite place....walking along the couch and coffee table. She's cruising EVERYWHERE and standing on her own a bit.
Things are going well here. Tim is enjoying his flying and simulators and he had his first check ride where he did REALLY well!!! He'll be done next month and then onto survival training then Dover. We're so excited we can hardly wait to get there! Hopefully we'll have visitors....East Coast baby!!!! So much to do!!!! :)

Happy Birthday Claire Bear!!

When you move so often in the Air Force, it is never easy to leave friends. But, what I have found is it's even HARDER when your children have friends. Yes, Adilyn is only 9 months old but she had a sweet little friend, Claire. They would have play dates....Claire would get incredibly excited and squeal and Adilyn would cry. Beth (Claire's mom) and I couldn't help but laugh because Claire was just happy to see Addy and Addy was just scared. Anyway, today is Claire's 1 year birthday and we wish we could celebrate with her. We did have a web cam chat though so that's better than nothing. They can always be pen pal's and come to Dover so the two of them can ice skate!! (soooo excited for that) Here's a couple photos of the two, I thought there were more of them but I guess that's all we took. Just another reminder to take as many photos of the precious people in your life that you can. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE BEAR!!!

Hooray for Computers!

We are finally able to use our desktop with the internet....wow, you don't realize how frequently you use your computer until you can't use it! Well, here are some recent photos of our little munchkin doing her thang!

Adilyn, can I have the ball?

Yes Calvin, I can share!

II know she had fun and it was yummy, but that's just gross!

Our little fish!
