Star Spangled Salute

Last Saturday we went to Tinker Air Force Base to see their air show. My parents went to the last one they had two years ago and they said it was really good. So when we found out they were having one this year we decided we should go. It was really fun but REALLY HOT!

Kiddie Park

Jerald and I discovered Kiddie Park either last summer or the summer before. Its in Bartlesville which is about an hour away and it an amusement park for little kids. They boys can ride all the rides and they LOVE it. This year was Jace's first year and he was in heaven. My little dare devil loved being able to do what brother was doing. 

They fell asleep on they way to Bartlesville.

Jalen on the planes. 

We didn't let Jace ride cause he is a dare devil and I thought he might be able to get out.

Swings. Jace's first amusement park ride.

The boats

Riding in cars

More planes

I wish I would have taken a video of this. It was Jace's favorite ride. He was raising his hands and laughing the whole time.

The ferriswheel

This was scary for me because they had to belts or straps. I was afraid Jace would fall. He could have fallen out but I was very nervous.

USS Batfish

Last week Jerald and I were looking for something to do with the boys. We had limited funds so we needed something cheap. So we decided to go to Muskogee to the USS Batfish. Jerald and I had been on the in Hawaii and we wanted to take to boys to the Batfish.

Going on the submarine

Jalen and the bombs

The only way we could get him to go down in the sub was to tell him there are bombs in it. He loves bombs.

This beautiful 9lb 13oz baby boy entered the world.

1year 6months later he is a rambunctious toddler.

Jace you are growing up way too fast.

Splash Pad

Glenpool put in a splash pad at the park a few weeks ago and I was so excited for the kids to try it out.

Miami!

Sunday we finally made it to Miami. This has been a long time coming. Jerald's daughter lives there and he had not been able to see her in a VERY LONG time. So we were so excited to FINALLY get to go. We took Jalen with us and Jace stayed with my mom and dad, or mom mom and pop pop, as he calls them. So here are some pics of the flight and the long awaited reunion of Jerald and Marittza.

Jalen ready to GO. 

We are in Miami!

Here she is my beautiful step-daughter, Marittza

Trying to get a pic of all of us but someone wouldn't cooperate. 

We're Home! After a long day and flight delays we made it home at midnight! Jalen was such a trooper.
