Spring Break 2015

We kept ourselves busy for the boys two week spring break from school.

Checking out the Endeavor Space Shuttle at the California Science Center

Los Angeles Zoo with Friends.

Edwards Air Force Base. We are lucky enough to get on base because dad is an Honorary Commander at Edwards. This means we are granted access on base, we are so lucky.

The museum on base may be small, but it is jammed packed with amazing Aerospace history.

After our visit to the base we meet dad at Domingo's. Domingo's is a hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant in Boron California that is famous to Space Shuttle pilots and test pilots alike. Whenever a space shuttle landed at Edwards the first restaurant the Astronauts went to was Domingo's. We had to check this place of history out.

After we went to lunch we headed over to dad's work to check out the mine and visitor center.

On another day we grabbed our British friends Jamie and Sarah and checked out the Devils Punch Bowl. The boys sure had fun running around, picking up rocks, and just being boys. Sarah and I were just happy we kept them all alive.

We sure love living in California and checking out all that it has to offer.

Basketball 2015

Basketball 2015 was a huge success. I love seeing my boys learning and growing and pushing themselves physically.  Just wish I would have taken more pictures. Sorry Ash!

Vegas Vacation

We crashed another of dad's business trip. This time we went out with him a day early so we could have some time exploring together as a family. 

First stop the way too high bridge that extends over the Colorado River. Mom was not a fan. We had to get off when Scooby started climbing the railings. Gah! Heights, no thank you.

We had to take the dam tour. Perhaps only to say we took the dam tour. Lol!

This is a view of the dang high bridge over the Colorado River. You can see why I was freaking out.

My tough boys holding up the bridge. Love them!

Dad had to work and we had to head back home for school. On our way we stopped at the Calico Ghost town. We were big fans.

We even spotted some ghosts. This made the younger crowd quit happy.

I made them walk through the Cemetery. Ash wasn't too happy about this. Good thing we didn't find any ghosts in here. Lol!

I have had so many people comment on how you are such a smiley boy. You have been full of smiles and life since the day you were born. I like to think you have a a lot to be happy for. You have two adoring parents, 3 older brothers, a dog and a very happy life.

You love playing with and keeping up with your older brothers. I have had to learn to let you do big boy things, as there is no holding you back. I just had to teach you the proper way of doing things so you won't get hurt. For example you love to climb on my center island so you you can be big and tall and see what is going on. I had to teach you how to properly get up and down from the island and how to be safe around the edges.

I am sure glad that you are part of our family. You bring so much love and joy into our home. I love that you still snuggle with me every night and I love how you run to daddy and scream dad over and over again when he comes home from work. Our lives are better because you are in it. I love you little man.
