Hill Aerospace Museum

Hill Aerospace Museum is located on approximately 30 acres on the northwest corner of Hill Air Force Base, Utah, about five miles south of Ogden. The museum was founded in 1981 as a part of the United States Air Force Heritage Program and first opened in 1986. It moved to its current facility in 1991. We hosted our 1 millionth visitor in the spring of 1996 and we annually have around 180,000 visitors, coming from every state and from many foreign countries.

We've been telling Weston that we will go see some airplanes. Usually we'll go sit on the north side of the Airport and watch the Planes land and take off. But, Austin found this articles in one of mailer ads and its told about different places and events that were free or low admission around Salt Lake City and surrounding areas. Well there was an article about the Hill Aerospace Museum in Roy. So the next day, we gathered everyone up and told them we were going to a plane museum. They were all really excited, we had alot of fun walking around the museum and looking at how a simple plane turned into such a jet plane. Walking around and learning about all that history was really fun.

Happy Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO TWO CRAZY MONKEY'S.

I CALL MY BROTHERS!!

DANNY AND STEVEN

Trip to Montana

Well for those who don't know, Justin has Grandparents that live in Montana......and they have been apart of his life since he was at least 2. Unfortunely they only get to see him once a year which is really hard, especially when Justin is the only Grand child they have. So this last Christmas I made Billie and Gary a promise, and that was to bring Justin to visit.

-

And thats what we did. This last weekend, Justin and I drove 7 hours to Boulder Montana which is a small town 30 miles south of Helena. Billie is the Elementary School Secretary and knows every childs name. Gary is retired now but he used to help take care of the mentally disabled at the Montana Development Center located in Boulder.

-

Thursday- we arrived at 10pm on Thursday, said are hello and went to bed.

-

Friday- Billie arranged a lunch date for her and Justin at her school, where justin got to see and meet alot of people that she worked with on a daily basis.

-

Saturday- We went into Helena to Exploration Works, which is a handon childrens museum. We all had a really fun time. Here a few pictures:

If you look closely you can tell that all these pictures have some type of weather in it. That was the museums theme this week. They had several displays of weather and it was fun.

Now that was the downstairs of the museum. Which we probably spent a good 20 minutes looking around. Then we went upstairs were we spent a good 2 or 2 1/2 hours. Its funny how something so small can entertain someone for hours. Building blocks of all things.

No.....we didn't have fun at all.....if you couldn't tell. We were there until they kicked us out. Everyone had so much of fun.

After we went to the museum I insisted in making dinner so we went back home and I made my Famous Chicken Enchildas that everyone loves.

Sunday - We drove 7 hours back to Utah.

We had a really good time and I'm glad we were able to make to trip to Montana.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

TO MY LOVE AUSTIN

AND MY BOYS

My Friend, My Love

*

It began as all fires do,

a spark soon ignited into a blaze of warmth and colourful delight.

You held my hand, became my friend,

earned my trust and my future once again looked bright.

*

Loneliness turned to hope,

emptiness filled up with dreams.

Hunger was satisfied,

and the darkness lit by love's moonbeams.

*

Tears no longer hit the ground,

they fall on your loving shoulder.

I feel younger,

as our love grows older.

*

When sorrow leaves me wilted as a sun-parched rose,

your comfort is a river that flows and flows.

The sun's light, the morning dew,

they are all the beauty that is you.

*

When passion ebbs,

as tides do,

love fills the wake,

and carries us through.

*

Your strength is as the oak,

but if it is my need you bend like the willow.
My heart is filled,

like a lucky sail with wind to billow.
*

Harsh cold winters,

wet springs, blissful summer heat, and the fall of time,

They'll weather my spirit,

with grace and peace, your hand in mine.

*

Our love's sweet creations, joyous children,

blessed am I thanks to God and you.

What greater beauty could shed light,

on the love that came from two.
*

Love's sweet reflection,

laughing, growing, thriving, learning.

Words cannot express what my heart feels,

how strong my love is burning.

*

When God took one home,

I felt my heart would never again see the sun.

But you, my love, walked with me, through the sadness,

and together we share the memories that keep our family one.

*

The lines of age will etch their mark on us

and time will take the strength from our bodies.

But love's brush will paint for us a picture of such beauty,

That a hundred lifetimes could not remove their glory.

*

Westbrook Science Fair

Justin came home after they annouced about the science fair, Justin has always been interest in science so we thought this would be a fun opportunity. So Austin and Justin work togethr and came up with some ideas. Rainbows, Light and Color, Reflection and then finally Refraction. Austin found this picture of a homemade projector and decided he wanted to build one. So after building the projector they went and bought a prism. Together they produced a rainbow out of the light that was refracting through the prism. And that the general idea and Justin Science Project.

This is my science project, we talked about refracting light.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me...

I'm 31 today.

You think life would get easier as you get older

but I'm slowly realizing that is not your age,

its the way you look at life and perceive it.

I love this picture

I finally went and bought me printer today. I decided to try out my scanner first and I think I made a excellent choice on my test subject.

I love this picture of Dad and Justin,

thanks Mom for giving it to me.

I Love You Dad, and Miss You Tons.

Look who's One!

We decided to have Justin's Birthday Party at Classic Skating this year. What more could you ask for? Justin had nine friends show up for his 9th birthday how ironic is that. I thinks its pretty funny actually. Thank you for all that could come and make this night a rememberable experienced I'm sure we will be hearing about this one for awhile. It was nice to meet all of Justin friends and there parents.
