Monday is my sweetie's birthday!
We are going to celebrate this weekend with an adventure!
Page requested Key Lime Pie for his birthday!
The kids helped squeeze limes today.
(Uhhh, they licked them too).
It is a labor of love.
But I could not let him have a birthday without a cake!
So here are a few things said:
Maggie Beth (this is just cute and I do not want to forget it) says spaghetti as "keddy."
Hezekiah (at dinner very seriously) "Did you know that Chris Tomlin and Chris August are brothers? It's because they have the same name." I think he has been listening to the radio maybe just a bit much. He always has a new favorite song to tell us about and these two fellas happen to be his 2 favs!
Maggie Beth - "Don't say that."
"Maggie's just being funny."
Yesterday when I went into my room, Eli was in there for "quiet time."
I knelt down to pick up something and Eli informed me, "I am into Robots now."
I said, "Oh really?"
Eli, "Yeah, see I've been making them." (All so nonchalantly).
I said, "So no aliens anymore?"
Eli, "Well for now Robots."
One of his robots names is Timer.
We went back in the evening to the Air Show.
I got to keep my oldest warm.
I tell you what, he is such a sweet little boy.
He is a wild one, but he has a very special heart and really can be very tender and
oh so precious!!!!
Can you tell, I am loving this moment of time with him?
The evening show was at twilight.
We also got to see the balloon glow after the sun went down.
It was really beautiful.
This morning when I woke up and if you would have told me that I would have been going on a helicopter ride, I would have probably thought you were kidding. This day though had just those plans.
Here is our "TOP GUN" pose!
Our journey to get on the helicopter.
I had the privilege of taking the boys on the ride.
We had head sets and we could hear each other talk.
Here are some pictures from our ride of the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean past the barrier islands.
Hezekiah was the Co-Pilot.
Above is a picture of the Valkaria runway.
It was AWESOME!
I am so glad that God had this day in store for me!
Some boys I know went up in a hot air balloon today.
Yeah, they thought that was pretty cool. Awesome, I believe were their words.
We went to the Valkaria Air Show today. On our way there we watched a plane write in the sky "Air Show" and create a smiley face. Which was certainly appropriate.......we had lots of smiles during our visit.
Above is the map to Fairyland, our house is purple in the upper left-hand corner, next you go pass the clouds, to crocodile lake, and then through the eggs to Fairyland.
Hope you are able to come along!
