Air Show
















Saturday  was the Amistad Air Show 2008 a very hot, very full day of airplanes.  (It was also Matt's birthday but due to the air show we're celebrating that later today so those pictures to follow) We arrived at the air show at about 10:30 (we being myself, the boys, and mom, dad, and Jeremy-Chirs was at work. Matt had been working the air show since about 7 that morning) and started looking at all the old planes first. That was a very exciting 10 minuets until they kicked us out so they could get them prepped to fly. So we wandered over to the air planes we could climb around in. Kaden was so excited to find potties in some of the airplanes! Very cool. By the time we wandered all the way down the runway mom and dad and Jeremy found a shaded spot under the wing of a C-130 and camped out while the boys and I went to check out the BIG planes. Note that by this time it's like 95 outside. Kaden was very excited to climb around in a KC-135 (Matt's old airplane) and get to see what daddy used to do (yes it has a potty too!) but the AC wasn't on and it was SO hot so we didn't stay long. At about noon we setteled down in the shade and got some really expensive $3 a slice pizza, very yummy. After lunch we let the boys pick out a toy airplane and hit the bouncy castle. By this time it was like 100 outside. We wandered around a bit more but just mostly hung out waiting for the Thunderbird show. Well except for the 20 min. I spent running around trying to find icecream without nuts and finally settled on shaved ice! By the time the Thunderbirds started at 3 it was literally 106 outside but the show was worth it (well don't ask Jeremy if it was worth it cause he was ready to go home after like 2 hours!) We were so ready to go home and sit in the AC for a while. Poor Matt had to stay until after 9 last night cleaning up (he did get to go to a grad party, but then right back to work) Caleb did so well without a nap but did fall asleep sitting strait up on the couch while mommy took a shower! Kaden really enjoyed the whole day especially since in his mind all the airplanes and helicopters were transformers! And yes, in the last picture my back is a bright pink...The spray sunscreen works really really well...if you spray it all over! I have a great white spot on  my back where there is sunscreen and the rest of me is very very pink! Anyways, enjoy the pictures! Hope you had a great weekend!

Happy Mother's Day to you, too! And happy birthday to Matt! Unfortunately Rob had to go on a last minute trip, so he'll miss the ultrasound tomorrow. But I'll post the results on the blog after he gets back.
