Adrain and I have been talking about getting a new car for a while but we didn't want the car payments and I LOVED my Jeep, but it was starting to have some serous problems and so we decided to trade it in while we could still get a good deal for it!

Last week after a lot of research and a lot of looking on line and even more talking about it we finally decided on a 2011 dodge Durango

isn't it perty

Lots of buttons that will take me a while to figure out

But most important it has lots of room for everyone!

A new school year

Its seems like our summer just flew by and now we are back to school!

But before school started adrian and the boys wanted to "camp out" on the trampoline!

To save them from the bugs Adrian got out his one person tent things that he had on deployments

Tav ended up sleeping with Adrain because it got a bit cold but they had a great time and wanted to do it again!

Thursday was the first day of school and the boys couldn't have been more excited!

Poses and showing off the new backpacks!

Tavin in line for his first day of Kindergarten, he really didn't want me to stand there or come in with him. He kept saying he was a big kid now!

AFR Family day

On Aug 4th Adrian had his Reserve duty and it was the annual AF Reserve Family day

This year they had a "deployment check list" for the kids to do. They went around to booths and had to do things and get their lists marked to be deployment ready!

Getting their uniformes

Next comes the guns

Kevlar and helmets

Gear check

Flight helmets

And a coin from the Squadron Commander and they are good to go!

Playing in the trucks

Going inside a couple C130's

At the picnic they had this neat trampoline and bungie set up and the boys were eager to try it!

First up was Mclane

Going really high

Trying a flip

He did really good and got several flips and went really hight

Next up was little Tavie

No flips for him

I couldn't believe how high he went and didn't get scared or scream

Next I got the bright idea to go myself! The boys made it look like so much fun!

I seriously thought I was going to die!

After I got over the dying issue I had some fun and tried a flip...they are much harder than you think!

Next on the list of "want to do's" was the rock wall

Mclane made it all the way to the top!

I have no idea why the K-9 unit decided to get in their attack training gear and let kids hit them with bats but they did and Tavin had a blast doing it!

Justin/Air space museum

Even though we don't live close to my family,living here has given me the opportunity to have three of my siblings travel out with me and get a 10 hour visit. This time Justin came out with me and while he was here we took him out to the Air and Space museum on Peterson AFB.

These two crack me up

It was a lot of fun to have my big brother here to visit for a day

Thanks Justin!

July 24th

This has been the first 'Pioneer days' that the boys and I have been to in Panguitch since we moved four year ago and I have missed it!

This year we talked/caroused/bullied grandma into being on a float.

She is the oldest resident in Panguitch and we thought it would be fun to have her in the parade.

She was ok with it until the city wanted to make her the grand marshal, after that she was out, but we got a couple of her friends to be on with her and then she was willing to do it!
