Red Cliffs





Today we woke up and decided to test out our Backpack Carrier.  We went on a two nice little hikes at Red Cliffs and met some nice people that took our picture.  Lucas really seemed to enjoy being up above seeing what was going on, and having the perfect positioning to hit Brian on the head.  As you can see from the picture, Lucas really just wanted the opportunity to hit anyone on the head!  I guess we better soak up the red sand while we can, who knows where we will end up . . .

It's been too long ...



I feel like I have been rushed for time lately, and really I don't know what I have been doing.  Life is so different now that I have a hard time getting used to it.

As you probably saw from my last post we finally have news on the Air Force!  Brian leaves on August 25th for boot camp and I believe that he will graduate on October 24th.  He doesn't have a specific job yet other than knowing it will be in a mechanical career, so we won't know anything about his training until he has a job.  We are really excited to know that we will be together for the holidays though, and Brian is pretty excited that he will be in San Antonio for Fall instead of Summer.

Lucas is HUGE now!  At his 10 month doctors appointment he was in the 97th percentile for height and 70th for weight, and I am pretty sure that he has surpassed those by now.  I was at Shannon's house the other night and Lucas was the same size as her 19 month old nephew!  I am pretty sure that people wonder why a boy of his size isn't walking. 

I have just been busy taking care of Lucas, Gus, and our fabulous garden!  It has grown so fast.  We have all sorts of plants and it is great knowing that in a little while we will be able to spend a lot less on groceries!

Finally Air Force news

Well I know I am in desperate need up an all around update but things have been crazy so I just haven't had time.  This is just a short little post to let you all know that we finally got a "ship" date for Brian!  He will head to boot camp on August 25th.  Meaning his graduation will probably be the 24th of October.  For now this is all we know, he doesn't have a job assignment yet so we don't know how long his training will be or where, or where we will be stationed after boot camp.  Anyway I have to run but I will try to update the past month in the next few days.
