Partners in crime...making a mess with toilet paper!
Crawling through the tunnel made with couch cushions.
A big smile from Elsa after she made it up the stairs all by herself!

Cake...the Day After
We'll start with some pictures from the park. These are just a few from Noelridge. We went there to feed the ducks but evidently, ducks don't like Cheerios. The fish on the other hand loved them! After our attempt at feeding the ducks, we played at the playground.

Elsa with her very dainty cake face. She decided the day after the party that she would eat the cake. Maybe she was too intimidated about eating in front of everyone. After all, everyone was watching her! This is as messy as she got with it. Yup, she's a girlie girl!
Elsa's First Birthday
We can't believe that it has been a whole year since Elsa came into our lives. She is growing up so fast and the time is going by so quickly! Jason and I took time to reflect on that exciting night of going to the hospital to have Elsa. It was such a different experience than it was with Inga. The girls delight in each other so much and we couldn't be happier to see two sisters love each other as much as Inga and Elsa do.
The cake.
The Birthday Girl.
The cake and the Birthday Girl. They didn't mix. Elsa wanted nothing to do with the cake.
Cousins: George, Emi, and Inga

Our Little Walker, Our Little Worker
Elsa is hard at work. She loves to take items and put them in the hole in this stool. She was at it for about 5 minutes in this video. Don't worry. I didn't film it for that long!
Elsa has taken off! This video is from a while ago when she first started walking. These days, though, she is walking all over! One of her favorite things to do is walk circles around the ottoman in the living room.
At the Playground With the Hines Family
We met Damon, Alicia, Gracie, and Josie at Bowman Woods playground. Inga loved going for a ride in the carrier. She and Gracie play so well together! Once Josie and Elsa grow up a little more, they should do just as well together. It's so nice to have two girls to play with that are the same ages as our girls. And for those of you who don't know, Alicia and I grew up together so that makes it even more special! Who knows, maybe our girls will be in show choir together?!

Andrea's Flight
Through the Guard Base, I was able to fly in a KC-135 to watch an in-air refueling of an F-16. It was such a neat experience! And it was so weird to fly sideways. However, it was the smoothest landing I have ever experienced. We had to wear earplugs the entire time because it was so loud. You'll be able to tell when you watch the videos. Hope you enjoy all the videos and pictures!

Decompression air mask...or should I say hood? This one goes over your head as you can see in the picture on the left. It kind of looks like a giant pencil top.
Our seats. Comfy.
The view from the underbelly of the plane.
This is where we watched the refueling. There is room for three. One on each side and one in the middle. It is actually pretty comfortable down there!

Thomas Park
We spent an afternoon with Amber, Payson, Brekin, and Jeremy. Jeremy was visiting from England but was happy to play with the kiddos. The girls always love getting together with the boys. This time was no different.
