Edwards Air Show

Yesterday, Joe flew in the Edwards Air Show here on base. It was a long and hot day here. The weather is still in the 90's and the sun is hot! I went to the air show with Joey and some friends of ours. Joe's plane flew over once and then again about 2 hours later with every other plane in the air show. So we missed naptime, it was hot, and I have a toddler. It made for an interesting time and a delirious Joey(he looooooves his naps!). Here are some pictures and a video of the air show.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we went to a pumpkin patch. We rode on a tractor out to a field to pick a few pumpkins. Also, the tractor ride took us through acres of the farm. We passed blueberry trees, avocado trees, tons of apples, and some other fruits. We all had a great time and now we have 3 pumpkins to carve! After the tractor ride, we went through a corn maze. We followed the trail but Joey wanted to crawl under the standing corn husks to get out!

Joey picking his pumpkin. He liked to pick them up and throw them. Not funny.

Mike and Maggie's Wedding

On Saturday, my brother Mike got married. We left my parents on Friday to drive up to Youngstown, Ohio to check into the hotel and go to the rehersal and rehersal dinner. Joe and I were both in the wedding and Joey was the ring bearer. After the church rehersal, we went back to the hotel for the rehersal dinner. Luckily, my friend is from Youngstown and her family still lives there. My friends neice, Lindsay, babysat Joey for us so that we could enjoy the evening. Joey loved her and went to sleep great for her.


On Saturday, we got up and I left to go get my hair done and then I stayed with Maggie and the rest of her bridesmaids. The wedding was at 2:30 and the reception followed. We tried to get Joey in the pictures but he only made it into one. It was more of a hassle trying to get him to stand still in the picture. Wait, no, let me rephrase that...it was more of a hassle trying to get him to look at the camera when all he wanted to do was to stand infront of the flower girl and stare at her. My little flirt.


We had a great time at the reception and Joey did AWESOME. Unfortunately, the babysitter couldn't babysit again on Saturday night so we had to keep him at the reception. Joe and I both tried to get him to sleep but he just wouldn't. He ran around a little, ate a bunch of cookies, and danced a little. Finally, he laid down in his stroller and watched his dvd player. And he was so happy doing that. At 11:00pm, his eyes closed and he went to sleep. We were at the reception until after midnight. We all had a great time and are still tired from the lack of sleep on Saturday night.


Yesterday, we went to my aunt's house to say goodbye to some family members and then over to Mike and Maggie's house to say goodbye to them. They left for Hawaii this morning and yes, I did think about hiding in their suitcase so that I could go along!


Tomorrow we head home to California to unpack and get back into our routine. Luckily Joey and I have a trip to Shreveport planned in a few weeks!!!


Oh, and here are the pictures from the wedding: Mike and Maggie's Wedding.
