Happy Green Day!!!

Sorry this is a little late. I had a hard time getting my card reader to work. We had a fun day filled with green. We spent part of the day at the park enjoying the green trees and grass (well the grass will be green in the summer.) Here are some highlights:

Hill Aerospace Museum

Rebecca, Benjamin and I went to the Hill Aerospace Museum with my parents a few weeks ago. This museum is just south of Ogden. The museum is free which makes up for the gas you pay for the drive up. But it is still so worth the drive up. The museum has a great website to give you driving information and a background about the museum. http://www.hill.af.mil/library/museum/index.asp There is a lot inside and out. There is enough room inside that your kids can guide themselves and you can still see them. Here are a few pictures from our trip:

I can't believe how many guns were on this plane Shoot Bier Atomic Bomb Replica Women Mechanics Rebecca listening to some code, future code breaker My mom's favorite exhibit Just Benjamin's size There is a good size exhibit on Women in Aviation
I don't have any pictures of the planes outside but this is a worthwhile trip.

This is why I have a daughter.

Rebecca came out of her dance class today holding her recital costume. I couldn't wait to see her try it on. The drive home I was deciding how I would do her hair. As Rebecca would say WooHoo.

Birthday Surprise!

The last week and a half have been stressful and busy but that is for a future blog entry. This past Saturday I left with Benjamin to have his nose deep suctioned out and when we got back we had a wonderful surprise. My brother, Spencer from Thailand, was sitting in our kitchen. (He was in Seattle for business meetings and took the hour and half flight over to visit.) It was so fun to sit down and talk with him. We even talked with his wife Chrissy over Skype. These were the only pictures I got. Our cousin Andrea joined us for some Chinese takeout and we had a lot of fun talking. It was a wonderful surprise and evening.
