Mah Dingahoppa

I need to get a picture of this to post. Maggie has been walking around combing forks through her hair saying, "Mah dingahoppa". I can't wait to get it in print!!!!!!

Edit: When I put the song on here Maggie was in tears yelling, "Mah can't see mermaid!!!!!!!!!!" She thought the movie would be on here.. I guess I need to go buy a copy of the movie. :) Then while it was playing she was singing along. It is amazing how well she knows this song!

2009 Air Show Practice

We are having an air show here at the air force base. This is one of the advantages of living 1/2 mile from the end of the runway! I must admit that most of the time I LOVE the jets! But when I am having a conversation with someone, other than myself, or if I am trying to sleep in the middle of the night and the jets are off their lunch break - it gets a little annoying.


We have had serious air traffic these past few weeks as these pilots are readying themselves for amazing stunts, twists and twirls through the air! Today we found really great spot to sit on the roof of the car and take pictures of these guys practicing for this weekend. I am amazed we didn't get told by police to move... but we didn't :)



I would LOVE to ride in one of these - but I must admit that I would be in need of an extra large barf bag.



As much as I love them - my daughter totally doesn't! She had her fingers in her ears most of the day today.


She doesn't look all that pleased, does she??

This is a series of 3 shots that I got. I am still trying to figure out the best way to get clear motion shots. Very frustrating for me to see them all blurry when I pull them up in Photoshop.

It's amazing how they twirl and fly and totally don't crash into eachother!!! They are SO close to eachother! Truly amazing!!! (The sky looks different in each of these because I was playing... they really were taken all in the same sequence. They came over my head, out and then straight up!)

Anyway - very excited for this weekend. Not sure if I will get that many better shots. Maybe. Maybe not... We shall see!


This is just a totally random shot of Maggie from this morning. She is so cute with the piano! She just sits there and plays while looking at her scrapbook. When she is done playing 1 page of her in a Halloween costume and singing about it, she will turn to the next page and sing about it.

Hopefully this will be something she loves still when I am making her take real piano lessons!!!!

Balloon Issues

Bah-lyunes.... So Saturday we had issues with the bah-lyunes. Maggie lost 1 at the Safe Kid Fest (see prior entry) and then got another one which she ended up popping in the car on the way home. Serious drama there... You are probably glad you weren't there!

Well, later that evening we went to Scott's brother's MBA graduation party. Of course what would be there??? Bah-lyunes!

After being there for about an hour Maggie got a purple balloon. She let it go. Drama.

Got her another one. Let it go. Drama.

Finally as we were leaving we got 2 more. Put them in the car with her to make sure they didn't "won away".

Sunday - She is out back after church. She takes them outside with her. She lets them go. By total and complete luck this is what happens...

They got caught on the gutter of the house. How lucky is that? Could you even imagine if they had drifted off to Never Neverland???

BUT - believe me - there was still drama. And a lot of it!!






YAE! Daddy to the rescue!


We still have them in the house and it's Monday night!!!!!


The kids were standing on my very last nerve today and I was really wanting to put them out on the street corner. And somehow - Dallin just knows when he should do something so dang cute!

How could you POSSIBLY be upset with this????
