Not quite what we had in mind

We knew going into the building process that we would find some frustrations and difficulties along the way.  But we were surprised when our hangar door turned out to be one of them!! 

For 2 precision-oriented people, the arrangement of panels just isn't going to work.  The 2 small panels on the right will drive me crazy, and Spence is upset over the center line of the doors not meeting up with the center of the hangar.

It will be interesting to see how this one gets resolved.

Continued Post!!

Hey, Sarah again. This post is the 2nd part of  'Veterans Day 2010'. Sorry for that, but I don't know what was the matter with it. Maybe it was our computer or just Blogger.

In the last picture of that post. There is a blue Stearman with Yellow wings (2nd from the left).  It was the FIRST Stearman that the Army Air Corp bought from Boeing to use as a trainer!!  Pretty cool!  The museum founder owns it - along with about 4 more really cool planes including a DC 3!  Here is a link to Wikipedia's article on Stearmans. The website for the airpark has some pictures from Veteran' Day if you scroll down on the website. If you go all the way to the bottom there is a picture of the Black- Hawk and in the backround you can see a blue and silver plane. That plane is the museum founders DC-3 (mentioned above).

Veteran's Day 2010

Our Family Picture

Future Pilot

Hey it's Sarah. Last Saturday our family went to the 4th Annual Veterans Day Fly-In. It was so much fun:}The picture above was our attempt of getting a family picture. You might notice that something is on Caroline's face. She had just gotten her face painted with a purple butterfly.

This picture (to the left) is of William in a neighbors plane. My mom took all the pictures except the first one. Caroline and I didn't get to look at the airplanes much because we were serving food in the Hangar - we could hear them, though.

Me and My Butterfly

Caroline and her Butterfly

I got my face painted with a butterfly too. Momma said that it looked like I was raising my eyebrow (my right, your left) :}

Missing Man Formation 

Every year the Museum has Stearmans come and do a Missing Man Formation. If you are not familiar with it, it is where 3 planes do a fly-by and have a missing slot (see picture to left) to recognize the men and women who have died.










A Black Hawk came and landed in a field and was on display.

UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter

More Stearmans. I don't know what is wrong with this post but since I have pictures I can't type in the places I want to      type in. I have more to write so I will continue in another post.  I can't even type except on Captions. It was working before but now it's Not:(So Long Folks.                                                                                          

YUCK!!!!

Sarah AGAIN!! 

My mom is in a produce co-op with some people from church.

The past two times we have gotten butternut squash. 

None of us kids like squash and so this morning Winston wanted to hold the squash so I said yuck and Winston started saying yuck too:} 

So whenever one of us hold up the squash and asks him what it is he will say   yuck!!!!  

Funny:}

New Sounds!

Sarah again. Winston is now saying 'mama' and 'dada'. I think the cutest is when he tells us what the animals say: cow- 'moo' (with hand over mouth because that is how we say it). Kitty-cat - 'eow' (it sounds like he is yelping in pain). Ducky- tack, tack (quack, quack). Fish- this one is kinda hard to describe but it looks like he is saying mama but with no sound coming out. If and of you have been to our house, you might have noticed the fish over our piano. Winston likes my dad to hold him up and let him touch the fish. When my dad wakes up in the morning  Winston will go up to him and make the fish 'noise' because he know that mt dad is the only one tall enough to hold him up:} Continuing the list of noises:  Rooster- a-doodle-doo. Doggy - woof, woof.

Are You My Mother?

Sarah AGAIN!! I was going through the camera. I don't know if you heard about us losing our camera last Easter. We found it about 2 months ago. YEAH!! So now we have 3 cameras (mine, the lost (now found one, and the replacement camera we got when we lost the other one) which is good because now we have 2 for around the house and one for my dad to take on trips. I was looking at the videos and found this one of William and Winston reading  Are You My Mother? I think the video is so cute.
