out and about with the cuz's

after our nap, we headed over to Kurt and Rhonda's to have some fun with the boys! They played so well together!

bath time:)

Aunt Rhonda playing horsey!

we had to run to ft. madison to get Cole's ear rechecked, thankfully it is FINALLY clearing up! only 4 more days of antibiotics! We ran to the store quick to grab Grandma (and eventually Grandpa) some saltines, soup and 7-up. They were puking and not feeling well most of the weekend:(

We stopped by Landan's school to catch the end of his Christmas program! We had bad seats, so I didn't get very good video:( But we were soo happy we could make it and see him "perform"

road trip!

Mom (grandma) flew into Little Rock on Tues evening. We hung out, ran some errands, cleaned a lil and had a good time. Then headed out on the longest road trip we've had yet!

About 2 hours in we decided to try out the DVD player. Well, the monster, who often plays in the truck (while in the garage:) decided to put a few dimes in the cigarette lighter. So he shorted out the fuse. We have blown that fuse before, so we did not have a replacement. It was a long trip for us. Grandpa hooked us up with 5 new fuses when we got home:) hopefully we'll be set when we return to AR.

Christmas card attempts:)

he wasn't happy with Morgan wearing his scarf:)

squad Christmas Party

The 53rd had a great Christmas party this year mostly for the kiddos. Most of our squad is gone, so they did a kids party early and we'll do a post Christmas party for the adults when the guys all get home. Santa made his appearance (with his big belly in his chest:)

Out on the flightline waiting for Santa to arrive
SANTA!

If you look closely at this pic, Santa is sticking out the top of the plane

Here he comes!

looking and waiting for santa

working on it..

Although AR does get some cold weather, we usually don't have to worry too much about hats and coats and mittens everyday. So since we are headed to Iowa soon, we started practicing with the hats:)

Abby was happy to help us too:) Great encouragement! Great choice of hat too, thanks Jessica!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE KURT

december

Cole and Avery got to play at the park today! It's been pretty nice outside (in the 60's today)

We've been sick the last 2 weeks or so, so it was nice to get outside and get some fresh air and play!

They play so well together! And the mommies get a long pretty well too:)
