Payton is massive!

Payton Loves Sand! We took a trip to Tallahassee last week to visit

AC, one of Jonathan's friends from the Academy.

While we were there we went on a river tour.

We saw tons of alligators and birds and turtles.

Payton loved swimming while we were waiting to leave!

Payton Enjoying the Water More Payton... At first Jonathan was trying to just get Payton's

feet wet but Payton was more interested in submersion!

This is the tree from the original Tarzan...

I guess somebody is standing on this palm tree

calling out into the woods for Tarzan in the movie.

I've never seen it though so I'm not sure :)

We've had a lot going on lately!

Sorry all of these pictures have taken so long to put out!

Jonathan is going to be leaving in a week for NC

and hopefully I'll be following shortly behind him.

Payton is awake and talking in his crib so I need to go get him.

Take care and enjoy the photos!

Lots of News!

I hope everyone enjoyed the most recent pictures of Payton anouncing our big news. Sadly, God had other plans for this baby. We're sure Payton will still get to be a big brother, just not as soon as we had thought. Thankfully we have one little boy to embrace and enjoy in the meantime! On a lighter note... I turned 26 this week, Jonathan finished flight school and earned his wings, and we found out... WE'RE MOVING TO HAWAII! Jonathan received orders to fly the 53D out of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. It was his first choice and we're absolutely thrilled. First he has to complete around 4 months of training at New River, NC (Camp Lejeune) and then we'll probably be headed to Hawaii right after Christmas. I'll add more pictures from all of the events this week. I need to head to bed so I'll be rested for work in the morning!

Most Recent Update...

Jonathan Landing on a Ship...

Last week Jonathan had to land the helicopter on a ship.

He did a great job as you can see.

He only has about 6 days of flying until

he's finished with flight school.

He'll finally get his wings on July 27th

if we don't have a hurricane first :)

Father's Day Trip to the Zoo

April and Payton

Mandy and Alex

Payton loved the zoo and was SO good! Payton, happy to be at the zoo! I bet you didn't know butterflies sucked on pacifiers?! Feeding the giraffe was so much fun! Up Close and Personal Payton kept trying to grab his nose! It was a little scary at first!

He kept coming back for more. The mama orangutan kept pulling the baby

down from the big thing he was climbing on.

I guess she was keeping him safe...So cute!

A Pair of Swans Watching the ottors was fun for the kids! JB and Payton Alex Mandy and Alex feeding the goats at the petting zoo!
