Here are a few pictures of William working in the yard. He loves to mow the grass and participate in any and all outdoor chores that get him sweaty and dirty! I have to say, He's a hard little worker!!

future pilot

William is our future pilot, he absolutley loves planes! He can spot an airplane it seems like from far, far away. Not only by sight, but he usually hears them before he sees them. Here lately William has been telling Brian to, "Fly me, Daddy!" In a very demanding tone, it's so so cute. Then he says, "fly over my house, Daddy." Brian took him up for a short flight, he had a great time! He sat in Daddy's lap the entire time, Daddy let him hold the controls, he got to help Daddy turn the airplane! How fun for a two year old!!

Recently Daddy has taught William that he flies jets. The other day while William and I were at Bowman Field waiting to watch Brian take off, William decided to use this information as a conversation starter...William informed everyone around us in the picnic area that, "my Daddy flies jets!" The two older men that were sitting there were a little surprised to hear someone William's size say that, they started cracking up. It was pretty funny!

Here are a few pics from the flight and of Will sitting in the cock pit of a jet...he's in heaven with all the buttons!!!

Kentucky State Fair

Last weekend we took William to the Kentucky State Fair for his first time. Years have passed since we had gone, but it was the same old fair! William had an absolute blast riding the kiddie rides. I have to say, we were very nervous to put him on the rides by his self without us on there with him, but he did great! He's our BIG BOY! Thanks Dean and Brigette for having us over to play, we had a fun time.

Still enjoying our summer!!

Enjoying our summer!!

We are enjoying our summer while it's still here, with August right around the corner it's hard to believe that summer is nearing the end. Friday we visited MawMaw Carnes at Baptist East. William constantly walks around saying, "MawMaw sick, MawMaw better, MawMaw hospital". Since she is in CCU you must be 12 years and older to visit patients in that unit. After Will continued to beg to see MawMaw, I snuck him through the large double doors that separates the waiting room from the patient rooms. We went as fast as we could hoping we wouldn't get noticed, but as soon as we turned the corner a nurse yelled, "ma'm"! William's visit was very short, about a half a second!! MawMaw was able to sneak a peak at him and reached out to hold him, but we had leave. MawMaw is currently at St. Mary's hospital recovering from surgery that she had earlier today.

Brian and I went to Fuji, our favorite restaurant to celebrate our six year wedding anniversary, hard to believe that we've been married that long. We spent Sunday at the zoo with William, what a scorcher, it was soo HOT!! We had a great time walking around looking at all the animals, but thank God for splashin water park! Of course that was probably Will's favorite part of the whole day, we were all burning up, it felt great to get a little wet, so glad I didn't get totally drenched like some of the other parents. Once we left the zoo we finished our day off with ice cream. We visited the Homemade Ice cream and Pie Kitchen in the Highlands, it sure hit the spot!!

Family vacation in Florida

Celebrating the 4th in NYC!!

Brian and I celebrated the 4th of July in New York City. Jad, Brian's co-pilot and his fiance Ashley spent the weekend with us. Brian and Jad were in New York for work, so Ashley and I flew to the city on a commercial flight to join them. We spent pretty much all of our time sight seeing. We went to the Metropolitan museum of art, walked down 5th Ave, went to Time's Square, saw a Broadway show, watched fireworks from lower Manhattan, checked out Chinatown, took a few taxi rides and rode on the subway! I know that doesn't sound nearly exhausting as it was doing all of that, but it was. It literally felt like we walked 15 miles or more the first day! We had a great time. I did miss home, I couldn't wait to see my sweet boy, William and grass!! I could never live in NYC, too much concrete!
