First day of Kindergarten

Madi's first day of kindergarten was a success. She loved every minute of it.

I can't believe how fast she is growing up - before too long she will be graduating from high school.

The Archery Range

Yesterday we went to the archery range with friends first thing in the morning. The cool morning air was refreshing. We didn't stay too long (some of the kids were eager to go do something different), but it was a great way to start the day.

Madi's favorite part about going to the archery range is this bridge. I'm not sure why but she thinks it's the greatest thing ever.

The other kids love it too.

Idaho Falls Air Show

Gabe was excited to attend the Idaho Falls Air Show, he was ecstatic about the blue planes (Blue Angels). Curtis was there with his helicopter; he flies an Apache for the Idaho National Guard. It was fun to see him in his uniform with the crew. A huge plus for us, the helicopter created a little bit of shade for us to sit under and avoid the craziness of sitting among the sea of people. The show brought back lots of memories for me. Growing up in the Air Force, we attended many shows, celebrations and gatherings. I miss the feelings of military life from time to time. The commodore and support for families of service members truly exemplifies the American spirit.
