What a birthday celebration!

Here is Chad refueling as Hunter, Ariel and I laid on our stomachs next to the Boom operator and watched through a window in the back of a KC135(based out of Pittsburgh).

The next picture is Chad flying fingertip formation with wingman and KC135.

The last picture is the 3jets rejoining under the boom for a photo opportunity.

AMAZING DAY!

Love Jen and chad

Ariel on flute-

Sweet Ariel walking with her friend, Laura down the trail to school. -6th grade winding up.

Super sweet Easter 2014 visit with Daddy! 💗

Hunter and Cade had super fun time driving grandma's ranger in the mud-this is their 'I am tough as mud' look.

New Leopard Gecko pet!

Happy New Year room Service at Alyeska. Feeling blessed and Fancy!

Easy peasy advent calendar on canvas. We used our old Christmas photo cards as the ornaments. 🌲

Tea time with Ariel at American girl bistro in Washington DC. Love these special memories with my girl. Love in my heart!

So sweet! Hunter walked to bus stop to meet Ariel so she wouldn't walk alone.

Today we went from pumpkin carving to gingerbread cookies. This girl loves the holidays!💚

Ariel set up American girl dolls under " blacky." Throughout our lazy Sunday, she switches between playing underneath and playing on top. So sweet! I think she loves her piano.

Happy and hair curled under her cute little hat, Ariel looking more like a preteen than my little girl that just yesterday was playing with 'my little ponnies.'

Ariel is getting ready for her first meet!!! Bless her heart she had 100.5 fever, stuffy head and sore throat, but she was very determined! Here she is with her sweet friend Kara.

Hiking crow pass with my girl. And Trooper, too!

These two after a 26 mile hike!!!

First day of 6th and 8th for Ariel and Hunter. Ariel is excited. She'll be continuing with choir. She gets to do 6th grade band. She picked the flute because its shinny and easy to carry. She'll continue with comp soccer, too. Busy girl. Oh and piano twice a week. Hunter is going to be homeschooled by yours truly. He's excited (believe it or not), so that is half the battle. He is running cross country with the middle school and he'll play basketball in september. Life is good. I am very thankful for these two lovey-dovies in my life!

More yummies from our berry picking!

From the mountain to our plate! Love!

Ariel in one of six of her forest forts showing her herbs and berries collections.

First family golf outing! Hunter loved it and thought he might play again. Ariel had fun outside!

Doesn't really look like daddy's shirt anymore. Hunter 13 years old!

Ariel is not feeling well. She is watching her owl movie on the couch with all her little Owls.

Trooper wants to go to school with Hunter! That guy is a sucker for bags of any kind!

Its upside down. It was dark. The celebration or documentation is that even though Hunter said he didn't want his puppy. Here he is... 12 yrs old! Love you!

Hunter's first hockey game! So proud!!

Stuffed animals. How much longer will Ariel love stuffed animals? Every night she has her favorites. Right now its all these little Pokemon' characters. Her favorite is this giant 18" one she received for Christmas that I think looks rather scary. She loves that guy! She is so funny! She reminds me of, well, me at that age.

I can't believe it's been 10 whole years since we welcomed this little angel into our lives!  Happy birthday to my sweet, happy, pretty, creative, good writer, very loving and thoughtful little girl!!

12 years ago God blessed us with this beautiful, loving boy!  I love this guy to pieces!   Happy Birthday Hunter!

Coloring Easter eggs!  2012.  We colored our eggs with kool aid.  Fun, right?  Except, would you believe this is the first time I have made kool aid for H and A??  Good Mom or bad Mom?

And after...
