Balloon Time!!!!

Uncle Rich and I were able to come home to Phoenix for Madee's 3rd birthday. Uncle Rich is by far the coolest person to Madee and Isabelle. Isabelle can even tell you that Uncle Rich flies a F-16 and Madee will tell you Uncle Rich flies over their house everyday. They really do love him. When I come home with Uncle Rich I feel like Auntie Barbara who's that!!!!

Madee loved her time with Uncle Rich before her big Little Mermaid Party!!!

The Birthday Girl, who made us call her Ariel the whole day!

Madee got Vanilla cake with Vanilla frosting so that Auntie Barbara could eat it too!

This is Madee and Isabelle wanting Uncle Rich to blow up a balloon over and over and over.

This is Uncle Rich blowing up a balloon and letting it go. This is by far the funniest thing in the whole world to the girls. This video is after them doing like 50times before this one. As much as the girls love their Uncle Rich. I know Uncle Rich loves these girls too!!! They are so not going to understand why I am home this summer and Uncle Rich isn't..

One day they'll understand he was away for them and their future!

Shotgun shooting is so much better than a shotgun wedding!!!!!

We were able to go to Maryland for a couple of days after Rich finished his training in Las Vegas. We did a lot in the few days we were there.

Rich went on a flight with Big Rich's friend Jamie. Jamie and his friend Matt actually built this plane from scratch. I was too scared to go for a ride, but not my hubby he loved every moment of it. We also got to shoot 3 different types of guns. A riffle, revolver and a shotgun. I have never in my life shot a gun, so Big Rich wanted to make sure I could at least handle a gun before we moved on the the big one, so we did some target shooting in his backyard. I actually did a decent job for never shooting a gun before. We went to a gun club to shoot the shotguns where we shot clay targets and had an instructor. We had such a great time and we were able to see lots of family that we haven't seen in awhile. Hopefully we will get to go back soon.
