Catch Up

Time to catch up a bit... enjoy!

Aimee and I on our date to an induction at school.  

(One of the few times I didn't have to wear a white shirt!)

Aimee was inducted into the Junior Thesibian Society at school.

Aimee's first time through the temple.  

She was baptized for a name she found- Dennis's Aunt Bert.

The start of Ty's Varsity Cross Country race a few weeks back.  

Lots of boys in a small space and I swear someone is going to get trampled one day.

Ty ran JV on Thursday and placed 3rd overall- Yes, he gets his speed from me!

We went camping this weekend- here is breakfast.

One good looking cook!

Kevin recognize the trail?  

No snow this time and Aimee and Ty are much bigger.

We made it up 143 steps again.

The weather was beautiful!

Colorado Surfin'

Someone was tired after a long hike.

Guess who had fun with dirt?

 Nothing too exciting going on over this way, so here's a few pictures to appease the masses.

I've had an oil leak on my car for about 4 years, but I've never been able to find it. I finally figured out what it was and fixed it with this $5 piece I found on ebay. I would have had it fixed in 2 minutes, but I dropped the new piece down in the engine and it took me an extra 3 min to fish it out.

 We had dinner with Marlo, Jamieson, and fam tonight to celebrate their daughter Pearl's 1st bday.

 Kelly made a nice lemon pound cake, so we could celebrate my bday along with Pearl.

I found our scooter's long lost relative on the way to work the other day.

Lewiston Air Show

 First off, we got a call last Wednesday from the carpet store wanting to delay installation until this Monday due to some other commitments.  I grudgingly said "OK."  So, they should be here tomorrow to install the carpet.  We are getting a little tired of walking around barefoot on plywood.

We saw an advertisement in the paper about this Air Show at the Lewiston Airport on Saturday so we drove down.  It was a lot of fun.





 It started off with the singing of the National Anthem, a prayer, a salute to our service men, and the presentation of the colors by three skydivers.

 The two main attractions were this DC-3 and a P-51 Mustang.  The P-51 did a fly-by down the middle of the runway just after the presentation of the colors.  What an awesome sight and sound.  I told Mom I would hate to be in a fox-hole as one of those came at me full speed with guns blazing.  The DC-3's were the workhorses of WWII.  It was also one of the first commercial airliners.

 We got to do up inside and I wanted to sit in the pilot's seat but his gentleman wouldn't move out of the way and let me in.  I think he was reminiscing about old times.  You could go for a ride for the paltry sum of $325 each.  Mom and I passed on the opportunity,

 My favorite, naturally, is the P-51 Mustang.  I have seen this particular plane on TV several times on the PBS station.

 I didn't dare touch it because the guy in white coveralls was constantly wiping it down.

 I loved the sight and especially the sound of it.

 The nose art and kill record on the side of the cockpit.

 Remember the military jeep in Riggins that I always said I would like to own?  This is exactly what I wanted to do with it.  The machine gun would have been optional.

 This stunt plane loaded up with a "paying passenger" in the front seat and took off.  I was standing beside the guys wife and ask if it was her husband.  She said yes and he so excited he could hardly stand it.

 The DC-3 firing up.  Just like in the movies, it cranks and cranks, and then fires in a cloud of blue smoke.  It sounded just like the B-29's in Memphis Belle.

We bought another load of plants for the back "mounds".  This week I hope to get most of them in the ground.  I have 10 Japanese Forrest Grass plants coming on Thursday.  We also plan to plant a bunch of Daffodils and Tulips (not pictured).  We're keeping busy.  Have a good week.
