Base Open House and Air Show

I always have mixed feelings about the Base Open House. For 2 days each Spring the Base opens it's gates and lets the community come visit and attend an Air Show. I love showing off the base to everyone but at the same time I love my safe little community with armed guards at the gate. I just wonder about what kind of yahoos we could be letting on base. They have lots of security and no one is allowed in the neighborhoods but it still makes me a little nervous. We had a great time at the Air Show. The Canadian Snowbirds were here and they were great. Jenna even got to enjoy her first snowcone! So fun! The weather was perfect. So many people came to church Sunday just fried from the sun. I am the sunscreen lady (I even ask other moms if they brought sun stuff!) so we were all just as white on Sunday as we were on Friday, except Dustin who doesn't let me put it on him. He always says he'll get it, but what he ends up getting is a pink nose!

I am thinking about re-naming this blog "Your Montana Weather Update"!

Yeah, so I talk about the weather a lot here. It's just so crazy...take these two pictures. One was taken May 13th, the other May 15th. Where else can you have snow one day and two days later play in the sprinkler? I am sooooooooooooo hoping that was our last snow. We had a lovely weekend for the Base Open House this last weekend (pics to come) and I think it's the start of a wonderful summer, which, in Montana, ends in September when the snow comes back. Oh, did I mention we're halfway through our controlled tour here in Montana? This was a four year controlled tour so we're halfway, officially tomorrow. It's a good feeling!

Opening Day!

Tonight was Henry's very first T-Ball game! They all did such a great job and looked so cute doing it!

This afternoon I made Jeff and Jenna these little shirts. They were such a hit tonight! Everyone thought they were so cute, myself included. I had never done iron-on stuff before and learned some important lessons. It's sad to say we lost a pillowcase in the process. It has a lovely tan scorch mark on it now! You can read what Jenna's shirt says on the back if you click on the photo to enlarge it.

Yes, Jeff actually smiled for this photo without being bribed!

Oh, aren't they darling? :)

These are Jenna's matching baseball hairbows, of course. You can't go to a ball game without matching hairbows, right?

Here is a video of Henry at bat tonight. He had good hits both times at bat. At practices they get to make several hits in a row and then on their last hit they get to run to first base. Most of the kids tonight didn't run right away, which is why he needed to be reminded to run in the video.
