side job

Sometimes on the weekends (during fire season) Carter works out at the Air Tanker Base when they are busy flying or when one of the crew needs a day off. This was one of those weekends. They were slow so we stopped by on our way to town. The kids got to go up inside one of the planes to look around and as they were getting out, the pilots got orders to fly. They ran over to the grass to watch Carter and Russ fill the tanker with retardant and then watch the plane take off. Elly has had this opportunity many times but the little ones had never been there when there was a plane. These pics aren't the best quality as they are from my phone...

Many of my friends have been posting this so I thought I would do it to!In the comment line, please leave one word that comes to your mind that describes me. Please feel free to copy this to your blog if you like, and I will happily participate with you!

Preschool!

Been a bit behind due to our house hunting...we did come to an agreement on the house and hopefully in a month or so we will have a new home! It is sooo sixties that it is scary, but we are very excited to make it ours...but more on that later!

It is FINALLY Audreys turn for school. It is the sweetest little preschool with the most wonderful teacher, I am so excited for this year! Noah on the other hand is missing his favorite frienemy. He just doesn't get why he can't stay, but I am looking forward to the one on one time with him...we just don't seem to get much of that!
