Another trip to the Zoo!

When we were back in Utah for the summer we went to the Hogle Zoo more times then I can count. It was a ton of fun and Ethan was fascinated with their Zoorassic Park, which are Dinosaurs displayed all over the Zoo. This past weekend we went to the Nashville Zoo and we spent all afternoon trying to find the Dinosaurs. Towards the end of the day Ethan just started calling all of birds and fish Dinosaurs. It avoided a melt down when leaving so we went along with it.... Fishosaur amd Birdosaurusrex are now words in the Maquet dictionary.

Cute kids...

.. tolerating Moms need to take pictures.

Another life taken by cancer way too soon

September 3rd, 2011 our friend and Mike's IP from Flight School, Rich Herron, lost his battle with cancer. He is survived by his incredibly strong wife, Lachelle, and an amazing family who loved him very much. This past weekend the boys & I went to his memorial service and the love felt in this family was overwhelming. Rich was very young and many things throughout his battle reminded me of my brother. Rich's brother said at the service that Rich saw his prognosis as a gift. He felt like he was given an opportunity to return to his faith and make sure everyone he loved and cared for knew. We all do not get that chance. He got to leave this earth and go onto the next one in peace. RIP Rich Herron. You had an incredible impact on our lives, thank you for teaching Mike how to fly!

Cousins!

I cannot believe I forgot to post these pics. We did cousin pictures over the summer. It was nice to finally get a picture and such a fun experience. FotoFly in Draper, UT did a great job!

Fantasy Football Week 2

Week 2 of Fantasy Football was a disappointment for us both :( At least when I lose I don't lose alone ;) The next 2 weeks Mike & I are playing each other... He is so going down!

Fantasy Football Week 1

I win :) Mike lost :( 


Feeling super disconnected from Football this season so I do not think I am super vested in our Fantasy Football league. Either way I took home a win in week 1! 

Taylor Swift loves us so much... She even said so ;)

Ethan & I went to see Taylor Swift last Friday night in Nashville. It was Ethan's first concert and such a fun night. He held his heart up for Taylor all night. We had the best Mommy & Ethan date night.

Bliss

This is the only way I am making though my day, my week, my life right now. Thank you Kuerig for saving my life. I heart you!

Paper Chain

The boys created a paper chain to count down the weeks until Daddy gets home. Each ring has a special picture drawn on it or a name of someone in our family. Every Sunday Ethan gets to take one more ring off the chain. Today he noticed it no longer touches the floor!


Ssshhh! Don't tell the boys but I made the chain an extra 6 links (weeks) long, you never know with the Army.

Bedtime Stories

Daddy reading Ethan & Evan a story. The USO offers this great service called United Through Reading where it gives the service member an opportunity to record themselves reading a story to their loved ones and then sending the video and book to them. Ethan really loves is and even tries to talk back to Daddy. Ethan is going to have the books memorized by the time Dad gets home cause we watch them multiple times daily! Our Dad rocks!
