The Girls

We wer hanging out with Jaimie at the store while we were waiting for Amy to tell us to leave to go meet her in Crescent Junction. Jaimie & Jordan were being goofy. Jordan made several funny videos which were making us crack up!

The Bomb Run

On Sunday, it was our last day to be with Brad. He wanted to go bowling, so we did. Then, we went ot church which was a different experience for sure. Then, we went over to the bomb run and took some pictures and walked around for a little bit, and then had to rush him back over by his dorms to get him dinner. He only had like ten minutes to wolf it down, but he did, he is used to eating fast these days lol. It was so hard to say goodbye again. Jordan & I cried. I am so glad we have such a close family!!

Riverwalk

We went down into the riverwalk which starts across from the Alamo, it was so gorgeous, and fun to walk down. There are so many plants, blooming trees, flowers, ducks and other birds. There are resturaunts all along the way that are quaint and lively. It was a neat experience.

The Alamo

While in San Antonio, we went to the Alamo, which was cool. We didn't get to do the tour inside because Jordan got sick and ended up throwing up. We think between lunch and the heat, it made her sick. After she threw up, she was fine.

Sea World

We had so much fun at Sea World. I don't have to many pictures because my camera battery died. The girls got to feed the dolphins, and they loved it!! The aquariums were amazing! We went on the Steel Eel roller coaster with Brad, and he loved it!! He couldn't get wet, so there was only 2 rides we could go on. We watched a 4-D movie which was good. We caught the Shamu show, Believe, and it was awesome. Jordan was so enthralled by it! So glad we got to go, but we didn't get to stay long, so we want to go back again!!

Who would have thunk?

I got a kick out of visiting Brad's dorm. It was fun to see everything so perfect!! I knew he had it in him. I was thrilled. I think I know who will be the task master now lol.

More of Brad

These are just some family photos with our Baby Boy lol.

Brad's Graduation Ceremony

On Friday morning, we got to attend Brad's Graduation, it was an awesome experience. It's hard to describe how amazing it was. There were so many flights graduating that day, and they said there is a graduation just like his every week. It was so impessive to watch them march onto the field. When they did they parade, it was so cool! There is a picture of Brad as he is marching by, and I think I put another on of his flight, and then when they are up to do the oath of enlistment, and a picture of when it was over and Jordan & Fritz were meeting him ont he field. I am so proud of him!

Brad's Graduation

Wow, what a weekend!! The lower picture is the first glance we had of Brad, when they did the airmen's run, it was impressive, and very emotional. We had to wait several hours until the coin retreat, which was a really neat ceremony, then we were able to go hug him!! :) We got to spend the rest of the day with him on base until about 8 pm. Manike & her parents got there between 3 nd 4.

Jessica & Avery Are Engaged!!

Wow, life has been a whirlwind for us. Jessica decided to come home from her nanny job early. She told Fritz & I, but wanted to keep it a secret. She flew into SLC on May 23rd, and Avery picked her up. He propsed to her on Temple square on Sunday, and on Monday, she met us in Moab and surprised her sisters!! We are all so excited and thrilled for Avery to be a part of our family!!!

Butterfyl

We have beenn waiting all winter for Jordan's coccon to hatch/ I wanted to throw it away, I was sure it wasn't going to hatch, but her dad told her this one would, so it has been onthe counter forever!!! It finally hatched yesterday, and it was awesome. I took the lid off and set it on the porch so when it's wings opened and dried out it could fly away. I took a picture to prove to Jordan I did not throw it away! LOL

Jordan's Birthday Party

We had a fun party for Jordan. We invited the Hoggards's, the Hazleton's, Avery, Grandma & Grandpa Pipkin, Tammy, David & Kids. We had navajo Tacos and a fruit tray with dip, it was so yummy! We had cake with blue icing that stained, and we all got a laugh over that. Jordan was so excited for her birthday this year!! We even got to talk to Brad right before the party, and that was extra special for Jordan!! We didn't have any candles for the cake, so Fritz had the kids line up with regular candles and we lit them and she ran down the line and blew them out while we sang, she probably won't forget that anytime soon!!!

Jordan's Birthday Breakfast

Jordan is so cute!! She was so excited to get to be queen for the day, starting with Breakfast in bed. She went to Provo on her birthday, Saturday, with Avery & her dad, so we celebrated it at home on Sunday, and boy did we start it off right!!
