Air Show

One of my favorite things about living near a military base is the Air Show that comes to town every year! I love walking around looking at the different displays and aircraft. Now if you have never been to an air show let me give you a quick run down. It is held on the flight line, there are numerous vendors, planes on display, American Flags everywhere, and then different planes have their time to put on a show in the air. You will see wing walkers, dog fights, F-18's, WW II planes, and much more. I get this huge surge of pride when the announcer is describing the plane that is flying, telling it's history, and what it was used for. Below are a few pictures that I took.

This is a group of young and old Air Force planes.

I loved this shot.

Fat Albert! He is a part of the Blue Angels Flight Team!

Diamond Formation

Amazing!

Beautiful

This is not zoomed in. That is how close we were. They are both upside down!

This is when they split.

Here they are flying as slow as possible by the crowd.

Taxiing in!

They all get out at the same time in a beautiful formation!

I love fall!

Pumpkins, apples, pies, soups, fall ball, family, and cool weather. Those are some of my favorite things about fall. I love the new candle scents, and all the great fall decor you can find at the local store.  Here are a few shots of my fall decor......

Does anyone know how to clone yourself??

One day I thought to myself, "Self, you do not have enough to do..... how can you make your calendar fuller?" Then one of the boys came in and begged to play fall ball. Of course we said yes because we love to see them try new things but we did not think that the other 2 would want to play too! Man we really need to start thinking things through around here!! So off we went to sign up #1 for fall ball, on the way #2 & #3 asked if they could play too. "Please, it sounds like fun..... oh please, oh please, oh please can we huh huh huh?" So of course we said yes........ WHAT WERE WE THINKING! Oh wait I know...... I was thinking my aunt had 3 boys and she survived, I can too. Besides my hubby is home how hard can it be? Man, I spoke too soon. At first the practices were great, we were able to split up and take the boys with no problems. Then came the actual season, with games at the same time. It's still OK cause the hubby can be at one field and I can be at the other. So far there have only been two games at one time. Then life throws a giant wrench at you and says HA HA HA! Now the hubby is out of town and we have games at the same time but at different ends of the park. Let me try to paint you a picture.....

I know you must love my picture! So one child is at t-ball and one is at field 3. Now my picture is not to scale so if you have ever seen a little league field you know how big they are and also how there are fences, towers, people, and concession stands in the way.  I am very thankful that I have friends that I will call on to help but it would be much easier if I could just clone myself. I really hate missing their games and seeing their faces when they do well. I know that I will have to suck it up and remember that my sweet amazing husband misses so much so I can miss a few little things here and there........ sorry had to get my Kleenex.
