Wings Over Whiteman

I'm pretty sure we are the last people to post about the air show we went to a few weeks ago, but here are some fun pictures. It was an incredibly hot day and incredibly windy, but we had fun!

Not sure what these are- but they were fun

B-52


B-25 from WWII

Apache

Aeroshell aerobatic team- these were my favorite- they did some awesome stuff

F-15, P-51 , A-10 fighter heritage flight

B-2 Spirit (they are stationed here at Whiteman)

B2 Chopper (made by Orange County Choppers)

And my incredibly painful sunburn that night. Totally didn't realize I was frying myself! And yes, I did wear sunscreen. Here I am laying in pain. (P.S. my arms look about the same). I have never had a sunburn like this! I don't burn like this! I didn't sleep at all that night because my legs were going to catch fire if anything touched them. I swear I had an allergic reaction to the sunscreen or the sun itself or maybe even being pregnant did it! Check out how splotchy the burn is too- totally did a better job than that putting on the sunscreen! After icing them/running cold water on them the entire next day and several layers of peeling skin over the next week or so... I'm back to normal with a serious farmer tan!

Almost done!

I just have to show you all my project so far (obviously it's not finished...). It took me forever to get started, but once I got going I didn't want to stop! I finished up my last bumper yesterday and couldn't wait to see what it would look like on the crib. I have two sheets so far, but I think I like the polka dot one best. What do you think?! I am so proud of myself! Now all I have left to do is the ruffle and my mom wants to help me with that when she is here in a few weeks.

26 weeks and plants!

Well I've reached 26 weeks and this is me today- right after church. I probably should have kept the skirt on, but I took it off the second I got home because lets face it... it was tight! I am officially out of the triple digits until my due date! woohoo! Only 97 more days to go...which is still FOREVER away, but hey, it 's only down hill from here right?!

I have to post this little creature because it is so random where we found it! The other day I was outside checking on my struggling rose bushes and found several quarter sized holes in the dirt. One of them looked like it had something in it! I immediately thought it was a snake (because we found one of those the other day too...). I had rand come over to see, and he got the shovel and dug it out. It was a little crawdad(sp?). I would guess we have more of these baby lobsters (Rand hates that I call them that) because we have seen several other holes throughout our lawn. How random is that??? Crazy, I had no idea they lived underground. I'm so glad it wasn't a snake!

This is our version of the "topsy turvy" tomato plant grower thingy! Rand has been watching those infomercials for months and one day decided that he could totally make that! I of course told him it was a good idea, but thought it would look extremely trashy to have buckets hanging from our deck, but it actually doesn't look that bad. We also decided to put strawberries on the top. What do you think?We started out with two buckets, but after replanting a tomato plant in one bucket three times only to have them all die, we decided to take it down. This was taken a little over a week ago...

and this is today... I forgot to take a picture of the tomatoes up close, but they are getting big! I can't wait until they are ready!

and of course one of Chloe aka the devil. (this picture is for Kimberly, I know you miss her!) She was just chillin in the grass so I thought I would take a picture. She spends much of her time outside these days. Hopefully one day she will get along with people and other cats!

and last, here is our flower bed. I get so excited to plant new flowers each year! Most of our annuals came back and are much bigger this year, but some didn't...I can't wait until all the plants get big in a few months. Also can I just say how uncomfortable it is to weed these days! Not being able to bend over and having heartburn doesn't not make for comfortable weeding.
