The Airplane

The past few weeks have been very exciting for Carter as there have been many crop dusters flying around our house. Carter was thrilled to watch them. He was even more thrilled when the plane in these pictures flew past him and Chad. The pilot flew by really low, tipped the wings and waved at Carter. Too bad the poor kid was standing in the grass going potty at the time!!!

5 years and 3 kids later.....

While on our Black Hills Vacation, we celebrated our 5th Anniversay! I would never have thought that in the last five years we would have so much happen!! Between Carter, Addison, and Chase, and Carter and Chads health its been crazy.

We are so thankful for our little family. Also for our many family and friends who have supported us these last five years!

Black Hills Vacation

We had a fun time on our little family vacation to the Black Hills with Ashley's family.
Here are a few highlights........

The family at Mt. Rushmore. We HAD to go there because Carter wanted to see "Rushmore" like Curious George did. He was very excited to see the same helicopter that George rode in fly past "Rushmore".

Tried to take artistic shot of Rushmore for Vandenn to see. This was about the best I could do.

Here is Chase on his first swing ride at Storybook Island, a large park with storybook themed play equipment. The kids loved playing here even though it was hot.

An afternoon at the community swimming pool. They have shallow water and all sorts of things that squirt water. It felt wonderful on a hot day. Carter was THRILLED with the water slide. Addison was too nervous to go down by herself, so Chad went with her. As you can guess, she still had a meltdown even with daddy along.
