Our "flying date"

Derrick took me flying this past weekend. It was so much fun! I even got to steer the plane some! He did good and I was amazed at what he has accomplished. We flew to Stillwater and took one of the airport's vehicles to Mexico Joe's. We went there when Derrick was going to OSU and have even driven to eat there since we got married. The food was really good, as usual. On the way back we could see the City of Faith when were more than 20 minutes away from it. It will take me awhile to get used to the wheels hitting the runway when we land! :)

"Samanthaisms"

"One of the car eyebrows on that car is not on." When she saw a headlight out.

"I've got a naughty nose." Trying to tell us she has a snotty nose.


"I want Soward to cut my hair." Trying to express she wanted to get a hair cut from Bailey's "cutter man", Howard.

A Weeping Willow

Derrick was talking about putting another baby, sorry, tree in the backyard. I told him we should get a Weeping Willow. He was not impressed with my idea.He thinks they are messy and he wants a big shade tree. We went to our friends house and the kids loved playing underneath hers. Just wanted to show Derrick how cute they are playing under it and how much they liked it! Ahhh! Maybe this will convince him.

A Sweet Picture

A Conversation Between the Kids

(Picture them sitting on the counter eating chicken remains from a cooked young chicken in the crockpot and throwing down bones to Molly).

Samantha: "This is good chicken!"
(Some more conversation between them.)
Samantha: "What is this made from?"
Bailey: "Cow."
(Insert them smacking on the chicken in silence.)

All the while, Isabella was sitting at the table polishing off her chocolate ice cream. She looked like a clown with it all over her nose and mouth. She finished hers, reached over and stole Bailey's ice cream and began eating it while he was oblivious on the counter!

P.S. I did inform them that the chicken came from a chicken though. ;)

Derrick, an official aviator!

Derrick has worked really hard and has earned his Pilot's license! Seeing some of the stuff he had to learn, I know what an accomplishment that is. Soon, we will fly somewhere and go out on a date!
