T-1 Fini Flight

The fini flight! I can not believe how quickly our time at Laughing AFB went by. We made so many wonderful friends and had a great 4.5 years! Just to explain to those non-airforcers, the fini flight is the pilots last flight in the airplane. since D flew the T-1 he had his T-1 fini flight. Everyone in the squadron comes out to welcome you back on the tar mat. And, you get sprayed with champagne and water hoses. Afterwards, we headed to the squadron to receive D's new orders and to say a few words. Last of all, we said goodbye to friends and had pizza for all! Rachel

Pumpkin Patch

Each year the OSC hosts a Fall Festival on base. This year I was not able to help due to the move and the fact that I had just had Wyatt! It was still a ton of fun. Although, Wyatt may tell you a different story.

Happy two months!

I was so busy when Wyatt turned two months that I forgot to get his picture made with a "2 months" sign. I didn't even remember till he was 2 months and 2 1/2 weeks! I am such a bad Mommy! Whatever was I doing?

Oh yes, I remember now. This was going on that day. The packers and movers where at our house. This crazy mess was all over the front yard. Why do we have so much stuff?

Where's Wyatt?

There he is! Happy two months my big boy!

T-1 photos

As a fundraiser for the squadron Rebbecca takes your family picture with the T-1. Since Daddy was gone Wyatt and I decided to take the opportunity to get our picture made.

"Just the two of us"

You know you wanna sing it!

Wyatts first date

We went out to lunch at the Brown Bag with the girls before we left Del Rio. It was fun and Wyatt was the lone male. Although, he made out pretty good since he was surrounded by pretty girls.

Faith Benzing, Baby Norman and Wyatt McClain

Bumbo!

I got out Wyatt's bumbo seat to see if he was able to seat in it yet. He is almost two months, so he really is too little still. But, He is starting to hold his head up, so I couldn't resist seeing if he would like his seat.

A little wobbly at times.

Laughing it up!

Trying to figure out what mom is doing!

Fat toes

I had Wyatt sitting in my lap the other day when i noticed a bulge on his big toe! i looked it over and squeezed and contemplated why this toe looked so big. Then I discovered nothing was wrong with my kiddos toes. He just has fat toes! Actually, his feet look just like his Daddy's feet.
Silly liitle boy! We were on a walk and I got this little picture.

Twinkies

My friend Darcie at works loves Twinkies! And honestly, who doesn't...except Tiff because she had never had one! Poor thing! Anyway, I looked up on line and found a recipe for homemade Twinkies. They did not disappoint! Oh they were so good and the filling was almost perfect. I almost made myself sick eating so many!They are a little bigger than your average Twinkies...but no one complained.

Little Duckie

A friend at work bought this outfit for Wyatt and she knitted the duck feet booties! i think he looks awfully cute. I was going to let him be a duck for Halloween but this picture is already about three weeks old. Guess what, it doesn't fit anymore! I think in this picture he kinda looks like me.
This outfit is by Mud Pie and they make several little outfits based on E-I-E-I-O. We have this one and the horse outfit too. They are so cute.

One month

I acknowledge that I am 100% copying Tara!

(and I am not ashamed)

3 weeks

Happy three week birthday little man.

Momma got a new pair of shoes!

My Darling Husband is a romantic. He always has known how to swoon me. I knew he was a keeper when we were dating. He would come over to my house with a present almost every time. What did this hopelessly romantic bring? Why only a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream, of course! So, I shouldn't have been surprise when after I got home from the hospital he was at it again. Isn't it rememberable that for the birth of our son, momma got a new pair of shoes!!

Now in all honesty, I LOVE these shoes! I don't usually get excited about shoes. Especially, if they are not on sale or at Ross. But, when my friend Darcie showed up in these lovely, glittery, hot pink and grey shoes I fell in love! I came home right away and told DH about how amazing these shoes where. Then when I went into labor, Darcie was there and I kid you not, she worn those amazing shoes while she took care of our precious new baby. I again pointed them out to DH. Guess he realized I really thought those shoes were great because he got me a pair too. Oh, how I am so loved!! Thanks DH! I love my new shoes and wear them every chance I get!

Oh, I also like to click my heels together and says, "There's no place like home."
