Go Go Chubby Bunny!

Henry is getting so chubby it's hilarious! He is trying very hard to roll over, but he just can't seem to do it yet. As you can see, he's popping out of his clothes!



Happy Early B-day!




Today we celebrated Joe's brithday. His requests-pizza hut pizza, yellow cake with chocolate frosting and opening his present. Easy enough!

Ugly Christmas Sweater



Last night we went to the Shull's annual "Ugly Christmas Sweater" party. It was a sight. Unfortunately I only got pictures of our sweaters. It was quite amazing to see some of the outfits! Look closely, these sweaters are TERRIBLE! What's even worse, is that their orginal prices were between 40-50 dollars!!! Isn't that outrageous!

Santa comes to New River



This year was a super special Chirstmas brunch for the kids. Santa came to New River on a 53! He landed right outside the O'Club for all of the kids to see. It was really something! I didn't get any pictures b/c I stayed inside with Henry. It was too cold for him outside, not to mention dangerous! The downwash from the helicopter is extremely stong. When it landed, everyone turned and ducked their heads. Mike came back inside with ears full of dirt. It was well worth it though. He was so excited. After he landed, Santa came in and talked with the kids. Much to my surprise, Mike went right up and sat on his lap. He asked Santa for a fire truck. Henry missed the excitement. He fell asleep while we were waiting for Santa to come. We had a great time!

HellCat leaves HMH-461


The males in the family have probably heard Joe mention Capt. Trimble. He's been at the aquadron for 6 years! December 16th is his last day with HMH-461. Tom and his wife Karen are favorties of ours and will be missed big time! Tom was with Joe in Africa. Joe requsted that Tom do the pinning when he was promoted to Capt. I know he's been a big part of Joe's life in the squadron and has impacted a lot of the guys in a great way. WE WILL MISS YOU TRIMBLES!

The CO says farewell to the Trimbles at the Christmas party.

Henry Goes to IN



Thanksgiving was Henry's first visit to Indiana and his first time meeting a lot of the gang! He told me it was his favorite place so far :)

Christmas Decor


As promised, here is a picture of Joe's great work. Imagine him on the ladder which was on the roof. He's nuts, but it looks great!

Super 2!



While we were home for Thanksgiving, Mike celebrated his second birthday. This year was extra special because we got to celebrate it with everyone at home. He had two mini parties in the middle of a weekend jammed packed with activity! He LOVES all of his gifts. Amber and Spencer got him some John Deer boots. He wore them non-stop for three days. He even wore them to bed!
Thanks to everyone for making it so great!
