Our October

Wait!  Was October not the longest month ever?!  I think back to the first of the month, back to Auntie Robyn's 25th B-day and that seven layer S'more cake (thank you pinterest), and it feels like a million years ago.  

But maybe that is because a million things have happened since then.  Arthur finished flight school!  We got on accepted offer on a new house...we rented out our old house...we moved (and slept in our new house for one night before heading out to California for a much needed visit)...whew!  It has been crazy.  But now let's rewind back to the first part...the most important part.
Arthur finished flight school!  Yay!!!  He is now a blackhawk pilot for the United States Army!!  We are beyond proud of him.  Thank you Honey, for showing our boys that with hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance, dreams really can come true.
Five years ago you dreamed of flying helicopters...now you fly them everyday.  You have placed yourself in a position to learn and train from the best aviators in the world.  And soon you too will be one of the best. They say that anything worth doing is worth doing right, and that is exactly what you are doing.  You are living your dream, honorably serving your country, and somehow you still manage to always put me and the boys first.  You are our superman and our hero.  Congratulations!  We love you!

Pictures by yours truly. :-)

The end of flight school means lots of things...the biggest being that our time in Rucker is now over and it is time for our little family to start a new adventure.  But first we had to do a little celebrating.

Starting with the boys getting their much anticipated Blackhawk Family Day...

James' first family day was spent sleeping in a car seat, this time we can barely get him out of the helicopter for a picture.

There aren't many soldier's with children in this class so my boys didn't really have to share.

Not even a year old and he is already crazy about helicopters...must be genetic
