Air Show

Sadie's pink headphones. The best part is the way they squeeze her chubby cheeks together!

All kinds of fun at the air show!

The C-17, the plane Derek flies.


The headphones worked really well! She even slept through the fighter demo.



Derek had a few quick breaks during the weekend. We were grateful for the few minutes we got to see him!

Since January Derek's been working hard on planning the 2010 Joint Base Lewis-McChord Air Expo. It meant a lot of long hours and time away from home for him, but it all paid off . . . the show was a great success! Nearly 300,000 people came out for it. There were some great demonstrations, cool static displays and, my personal favorite . . . fantastic kettle corn. Sadie and I had a wonderful time and are so proud of the great work Derek did to make it all possible!

Yum!

The verdict's still out on apricots . . .

Mmm . . . peas!


Pumpkin makes me so happy!

Over the last few weeks, Sadie's been exploring the oh-so-exciting world of fruits and vegetables! As you might imagine from looking at her cheeks, she's quite passionate about food and so the opportunity for more food has been met with much enthusiasm on her part.

I've been trying my hand at making my own baby food, which has been surprisingly easy. Turns out, it's a great way to use all our prduce from our weekly farm box. And since I'm always looking for ways to save money as a stay-at-home mom, I'd rather sacrifice my time spent making the food than sacrifice, say, my shopping budget!

So far Sadie's favorites are pumpkin and peas, but she's yet to totally refuse something. She needs to maintain her fat rolls, afterall!
