WINGS of SILVER

He did it! Ryan graduated from JSUPT and now has his pilot wings. I am so proud of him for accomplishing his dream and doing it well. Never once was it easy but he just kept giving it his best and now two years later all that hard work has paid off. Only to start more training!!
Graduation was wonderful. Both Ryan's parents and my parents were able to fly in for the ceremonies and of course to get as much of Kiera as they could in the short five days they were here. I'll post pictures in a few post so I can get more in.

Boy's and their toys!

It finally happened, Ryan found a Camaro that was actually within reasonable driving distance. It is nice to have two vehicles again. It's a really nice car and it's got all that "stuff" that Ryan wanted and of course plenty of room for upgrades!

This week is graduation and our parents are coming to town. We are so excited. When we tell Kiera that her Grandma's are coming she asks if Droopy (the dog) is coming too. She can't seem to understand why he doesn't get to come along. So I am sure I will have more to post after graduation and the Grandparent's visit.

This picture I just love. Ryan and Kiera were "hiding" from me, one of their favorite things to do together.

Assignment Night

Ryan's assignment will be flying the PC-12 at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico! Here are some pictures from the night and the plane.

Happy Birthday Kiera!

My baby girl turned two today! I can't help but think how fast time has gone by. What a blessing Kiera is in our life. I will never be able to put into words how much I love her. I have to mention that I now feel like a real military wife. Today I was initiated! I did an entire Birthday party by myself while my dear husband was out flying. No, not the normal one flight and then he might have talked someone into letting him come home for the party. But two flights today, of all days! Anyway, it was a wonderful day and I loved spending every minute with my beautiful Kiera.

My Sleeping Beauty and Little Helper!

Oh how I love Kiera!!! She is growing up so fast. I wish there was a way to slow down time. Since there is not, I must remember to treasure every moment with her.

Memorial Weekend

We had the opportunity to meet Brandon, Christy and Duncan in Louisiana and go camping. Besides the heat and humidity it was so much fun to be with them and finally meet Duncan! We miss you three already!

March for Babies pictures

March for Babies was a success! Thank you to everyone who sponsored me. Here are some pictures from the event. Thanks again Mike and Elana for letting Kiera and I come join you. It was so good to see you.

March for Babies!

This Saturday I will be participating in the "March for Babies" formerly known as "March for Dimes". I want to thank the three people who have already supported me with donations, you are awesome!!! I am almost half way to my goal and if you would like to add your support you can use the link to the right of the blog. TO BABIES!!!

Tag, I'm It!

Six facts or habits about me!
1-- I am a softy when it comes to animals and children. If I could, I would take in all the orphans (animals and children)!
2-- I have a fear of falling.
3-- Anything Lemon or Lime, I eat it!
4-- Of all chores, I dislike laundry the most. It is NEVER done!
5-- Styrofoam squeaking is the WORST possible sound in the world. I cringe just typing about it.
6-- I can never seem to give Ryan and Kiera enough hugs. It's like being thirsty all the time and even though you drink water, you are still thirsty! (Note: It annoys Ryan)

Now I tag Christy!
