    Tora Tora Tora

    I’ve always been fascinated by the attack on Pearl Harbor. As a Senior in high school, I did my term paper on Pearl Harbor. I chose to do a speech on it and I admit, I spoke for 2.5 class periods. (The other kids thought it was much cooler than the teacher talking for 2.5…

  • The Golden Knights

    The Golden Knights

    The Golden Knights are an army parachute group. Cole especially thought jumping out of a plane was VERY cool:     They made a second pass:   I’m pretty sure I could never actually jump out of a plane. Not one of my desires. Jim and Cole could do it in a heart beat.   

  • Cousins Can Be as Bad as Brothers

    We were at the air show and Indigo was minding her own business:   All of a sudden her little cousin got ahold of a ball and decided that Indigo was a good target: Look at that evil grin on his face as he decides to go for another shot: Fortunately Brett scooped him up…

  • I Just Don’t Look

    I Just Don’t Look

    When we got back to base camp, Emery and Cole decided to climb the tree. Jim took these photos, because I refuse to look at them while they’re climbing. So if you’re a nervous mom, you may not want to look at the bottom photos! (But don’t worry, Jim checked out the tree and it…

    Jumpy Things

    Once we had base camp set up, it was time to go check out the air show stuff. So off we headed: And we found the jumpy things:     It was a lot of fun until Indigo got hurt: So we gathered everyone together: And walked over to the planes: First we walked through…

  • Scott Air Force Base Air Show

    We traveled to Scott Air Force Base (where my brother is currently stationed) to watch their air show. We had a blast. The children loved it. Jim, however, went a little crazy. He was in charge of the camera* and taking pictures.  As many of you know, Jim takes his responsibilities very seriously. He filled…

  • Goat Milk Pudding

    Goat Milk Pudding

    The other day Brett decided to surprise the family with goat milk pudding.  We all enjoy it when Brett decides to surprise us and everybody dug right in. Jade quickly became a mess:   So the other children got a bit silly with their pudding:         But they still couldn’t compete with…

  • And Then There Were Three

    And Then There Were Three

    In the beginning, there was just one: Then, after many years of waiting, there were finally two: Shortly after that, there were three: And the girly circle is complete.

  • Flying Kites with the Goats

    Flying Kites with the Goats

    Don’t all little boys run around barefoot in the backyard and fly their kites with their goats?    

  • Daddy Time

    Daddy Time

    The girls were in need of some Daddy Time. So Jim gave Jade her first set of braids: So then of course Indigo needed her hair braided too: He eventually had them both braided and looking beautiful: Then they got to check out themselves in the mirror in their room: He’s a VERY good Daddy!…

  • Boredom

    Jim, Brett, Cole, Emery, and Greyden were selling soap today. That left me at home with Fletcher, Hewitt, Indigo, and Jade. It was a different combination of kids than we usually have. Normally Fletcher is with the older children or with Greyden. Fletcher really wanted to fly his kite today. But alas, there was no…

  • Cousin Love

    Cousin Love

    One of the best parts of our vacation was the fact that the children got to spend so much time with their cousins. Since we’re the only part of our family living in Indiana, cousin time is very precious. I wish I had taken more photos of them together, but here are a couple of…

  • Fourth of July Sparklers

    Fourth of July Sparklers

    Since it was against the law to do big fireworks at the beach, Aunt Heather got all the kids sparklers for Jade’s Birthday the Fourth of July. Jim lined all the children up youngest to oldest to hand out the sparklers: Indigo was really excited about it: The children think this is a really cool…

  • Scary Jade

    Scary Jade

    When we were at Disney over the winter, we went into one of the gift shops. Brett was looking at books, the boys were looking at pirate stuff, Indigo was looking at pretty, princess dresses. And Jade fell in love with what she called her “scary hands”. We left without buying anything. A couple of…

  • Jade’s Birthday

    We got to celebrate Jade’s Fourth of July birthday during our vacation this year. Other than having extra people there, it was pretty much a Jonas birthday celebration as usual.  Of course, all those extra people meant a lot of extra cash for Jade.  She was loving it.   I can’t believe my baby is…
