Hill Air Force Base Museum

Dalton & Drake, they sure seem small in front of that big plane!

Bri (on the ground) Alyse, Kierra, Kelton, Dalton, & Drake

I took a picture of Kelton & Dalton in front of this same tire when they were 3 & 5 yrs old, it was before digital days, so I will have to scan it in and show the difference 6 years has made.

In the kids play room they had flight simulators, this was the little kiddie one. Alyse loved it, there were so many buttons!

This was the F-16 flight simulator. Dalton had a blast trying to keep it in the air!

SHOES SHOES SHOES!!!!

Having one shoe lover can happen to any household, but TWO?? Alyse seems to be following in Kierra's footprints, literally! She is so fascinated with her shoes! She is starting a bit younger than Kierra started! Trouble!

This cute pink pair of shoes has a great story with them. We were shopping in Children's place and Alyse (with her walking independence) wanted to walk around, so I put her down, and she headed straight to a shoe rack! About 30 seconds later, she walked back carrying this pair of shoes, and lifting her foot up so I could put them on her! The most ironic part was they were actually her size! Needed or not, she got them! This could get really expensive!

She looks at them with such admiration!

A day at the Zoo

It was such a great day for the Zoo! It was a little overcast, and not too hot, perfect!

A ride on the train!

It was Alyse's first trip to the zoo, and she was fascinated with the animals! She would get really quiet (a little against her personality) and point at the animals!

Dalton & Alyse, even with an 8 year difference in age, they still have a lot of fun together!

Some of the animals made Alyse "hold on tight."



Kierra got a pink monkey to wear around her neck! Alyse got a tan one, and couldn't figure out how it was hanging on! Especially when she was walking around.



Kierra doesn't want to take "kiddy" pictures at the zoo, but she will still let us get a snapshot here and there!

Kierra turns 13!

She is 13!! Wow!!

Kierra & her cousin Alli coming back from Subway for lunch.

Silly teenagers! We love Kierra's silliness! She keeps things light and moving, life wouldn't be much fun without her!
Never too old for Chocolate cake! Blowing out candles at Grandma's house with her cousin Madison.

Swinging with Grandpa

Alyse was really afraid of swinging, until this Sunday when she sat in the swing with Grandpa Craig. They swang for along time, and she has loved to swing every since (not too high though, that still freaks her out!)


Cousin Killian joined in on the fun too. He loves swinging already!

The after effects of Grandpa Craig! He doesn't always have this effect on kids, but he sure did a good job this time around!
