Thank you Grandma Mither


We were at K-mart where we meet up with Katie and Mither and Benjamin had a blast with these sunglasses. He kept laughing and clapping and going crazy in the cart. So Mither had to buy him the suglasses and he still puts them on and laughs and claps. So thank you Grandma Mither for the cool shades. What a stud!!

No More Bottles


So I am trying to get rid of bottles for Benjamin, he loves his bottles. Morning, Day, and Night, so my sister Amy told me to just slowly do it bottle by bottle. So I went to the grocery store and got some fun cereals!! Lucky charms seems to be doing the trick and he is doing so good!! I did notice after the second bite he started to pick out the marshmellows!!! He still needs a little supervision!! But so far it is working.

Auntie Katie and the Buzzers!!!


Auntie Katie came over and buzzed Benjamins hair and he did so good, I mean I was on the other side feeding him chocolate, but he did awsome!! Now he looks like my little man. He actually has the same head shape as Brent we just never see it because his hair grow way to fast!!

Lone Pine Weekend!!


We did our traditional Lone Pine trip this year and it was fun, it was cold so we stayed in the trailor alot, but we did make it up to Mt. Whitney where it was snowing and all we had were sweatshirts, needless to say Mommy and Ben hung out in the truck while Daddy had snow ball fights with everyone!!! It was so beautiful up there.


Here is Benjamin crashing on the chair!!! He was so tired, but didnt want to go down, so we put him in the chair with a bottle and about 5 minutes later he was out for about an hour!! Gotta love them!!

Water and Strawberries

Benjamin loves watering Grandpas lawn with him. He actually had control of the hose this time seeing how wet he is. Plus he got a fresh strawberry from the plant!! He aquired a thirst through the middle of watering and decided to drink from it!! He had alot of fun.

Souther Electric Flight Festival....in the SOUTH! :D





well, Bobbye gave a brief overview of my trip, so I thought id go into more detail...some of you may or may not know of my hobby...R/C models... :) Well, im kinda..."sponsored" by a company called "little screamers" they make small electric brushless motors. anyhow, they sent me on this trip back to Georgia, to a event called SEFF. Its basically the "Oshkosh" of the electric R/C world. over 500 pilots, and in the range og 2000-2500 models, with people showing up from all over the place! had a couple guys show up from Austria! for some reason, i wanted to go up to them, and start singing some songs from the sound of music! :p They were cool guys, and very intersted in the Jet I brought, a F-16. My F-16 started life as a kit, and ended up something FAR beyond what it was ever intended to do....stock she goes about 75..maybe 80mph. well...mine goes in the range of 155mph, to 165, depending on the pass. it weighs about 3 lbs(which is a TON for something this small) and she'll go straight up all day! :) anyhow, its a great bird. the fastest thing ive had yet. :) anyhow...back to SEFF...ive never been "back east"...i must say..its very very pretty! EVERYTHNG is GREEEEEEN. trees EVERYWHERE...if theres not trees...its probably because theres a house, or a road...and thats about it! both trips in the airliner were long! :O we were packed in like sardines...somehow i find it hard to believe that the airlines are "going under"...anyhow, we stayed in a small town, about 5 mi from the event, called "Americus". now thats original! infact, its located in Macon county...where the "dukes of hazzard" was filmed back in the 70's/80's...!! also, many civil war battles were faught in that region, which is also pretty cool. the town was small, and filled with OLD houses, and buildings that had been restored. i wish i had taken some photo's. its funny, back there....every town has atleast 3 things.... a Mc Donalds...a Wal Mart.....and a KFC.....and as far as music goes..theres country....and hip hop! :p I went on this trip with my buddy Bob. it was alot of fun, and we had a great time meeting new people, seeing new sights, and in general, just having some good, clean fun :) We also met up with some old friends, and that was cool too. I got to fly a bunch of other peoples models, as this seems to happen alot at events...i guess people jsut think im a super cool dude! :p we did however get into a pretty nasty car wreck in the rental, which was a chevy HHR...dont get me started on that thing! :O i will say, she took a lick'in and kept on tickin! we were T-boned by a Ford Van...we never say hime coming. it was crazy! glass was flying everwhere, had to empty my shoes of the glass! this was only the second accident of my life, the first beeing when i wrapped my turbo coupe around a tree in provo...this one sounded the same on the inside. luckily, we were ok, just a little sore. you should have see the reaction of the people at the rental car center when i pulled into the lot in A-town! :O :p while on the schene of the accident....i heard in the distance a GOOD sounding mustang.."going" through the gears...it was obvious it wasnt grandma driving...i said to the sheriff..."dang...hes rippin on that thing!" about 1 minute later...here she comes...a dark blue 03 GT...sweet...the sheriff turns to us and says...in a southern accent " you know the worst part about that was?...that was my SON" he had his cell phone out "right quick" he gave that boy a ear full...must have been his car...he wont be driving that one for a while...somehow...i know that boy's pain..dont ask how i know.... ;) anywho, it was a great trip, and i couldnt wait to get home to Bobbye and the little rascal! I also couldnt wait to get back to CA....love that cooool breeze. GA was hotter than a black leather seat on a hot summer day! :p it was a great trip though! To top it off...i didnt crash anything! sweet! and i won a battery pack in a raffle that is worth over 500$ :O thats what im talking about! heres a list of all the models i flew over the event...F-16, F-105, F-4, F-5, F9F, A-1, F7F, Mig 15, Mig 21, L-39, Mig 29, A-4, F4D, F-20. and to top it all off...we started and ended the trip with In-N- Out :) A Big Thank you goes to Bobbye for supporting me in my Hobby. a Hobby which hopefully will sonn payoff pretty big if i get a promotion into Northrop Gumman's "model shop" where they make Large models of top secret airplanes for wind tunnel and radar testing :) anyways, it was a great trip, and i had a GREAT time, but it was even better to get back home to my family! and that little hoser's cute smile! :p

Vegas, Georgia and Home!!

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged!!! Benjamin and I went to Vegas to spend time with my sister and her family, it was fun except that my camera died the day I got there!!! We had alot of fun hanging out with the kids and shopping and attempting her pool, hopefully it was to cold because Benjamin hated being in that pool!!! It was alot of fun, thank you Sherrill for letting us crash the pad!!! While we were gone, Brent was in Georgia representing a motor company for RC airplanes. Him and a buddy were able to go all expense paid!!! He had alot of fun flying and staying pretty cool. He did get in a car accident out there, not there fault but pretty scarey, left with no battle wounds!! We are glad that he is home. It was our longest trip apart from each other, 6 days!! What can we say we love each other!! Baby Update: We are having our first ultra sound tomorow, we are a bit behind with this kid, but we are excited. This pregnancy is kicking my butt, but I guess it is worth it with the outcome!!! Other then that we are doing great just hangin out and livin life!!! Hopefully more pics to come!!
