This month has flown by. Micah had the opportunity to do a missing man fly over at a funeral for a Medal of Honor recipient who's part of the story in "We Were Soldiers", although I've never seen the movie, but this was a very big deal so I took the boys to watch and all was very quiet and reverenced the way a funeral should be until the fly over and Morgan and Jaksen started YELLING "That's our DAD! That's so cool! Oh man did you see that guy turn up that was awesome, hey mom was that our dad that turned up and away?"
"I don't know, he's one of them."
I'm hoping not too many people were offended.
The first day of School was very exciting for Jacksen especially because it is his first year going to a "real school" and he got to ride the school bus which was a major deal...he was very excited about that. The belt he is wearing was his input on his "first Day of school ensemble" He really wanted to wear his belt and I caved...it could've been worse.
Labor Day weekend we went to spend some time with Micah's brother Nick and his family. We built a campfire in their backyard and had smores and peach milkshakes...yum. Micah and Nick forced all the kids to go hiking Saturday so Rhonda and I could have some "girl time." We went to have lunch at my favorite Mexican Place in Idaho Falls...Sol Rio, then we went to Barnes and Noble it was amazingly peaceful being able to browse without children to keep track of.
Just a few weeks ago, There was an airshow in Mt. Home starring the Airforce Thunderbirds, Micah was also able to fly in it doing a simulated rescue where 2 Apaches provided cover for the rescue Blackhawk...It was complete with pyrotechnics and everything...it was pretty cool...and of course the boys thought it was awesome that their dad was in it. Grandma and Grandpa Budge also came to see it and stayed for a few days. They also happened to bring Their air rockets which is always a big hit...we launched those babies till it was dark and the mosquitoes were getting us and it never seemed to get old...the boys just kept giggling. Jacksen kept getting farther and farther of a run at jumping on the launcher until one time he slipped cause the grass was damp...after that it became Dad and whoever against the other one...which was hilarious to watch and we were all giggling. G & G tweetie also brought their croquet set and we all played and EVERYONE cheated which made it all the more fun cause we were all laughing so hard we could barely finish.
The picture of Jaks is what you get when your kids sneak off with your camera, but it was a cool picture so I decided to post it.
