Las vegas Air Show '08

We were able to go to the air show for the 1st time since we have lived in Vegas.

We have a few church members who are in the air force and offered to take us on family day

since they have no family here either.  Bethany & David are a new couple in our church.  God has blessed our family and church greatly through them!  Russel & Claire have been with us for a while and have been here for us though the good and the bad times!  Needless to say they are all Awesome and we love them very much!  Enjoy the pics we were able to get as we enjoyed this fun filled day with them.  God Bless and keep our soldiers safe and also their spouses at home.

Matt & Jesse are Married!

Feel The Passion

Matt, Mike, & Jesse (signing marriage license)

Matt and Jesse decided to get married on Alexa's 12th birthday.  She was so excited to spend the day with Jesse.  She got her 1st fake fingernails, that she only wore for a week because of violin!

Mike got to perform his first wedding ceremony.  It was so sweet!  The ceremony took place in a small grass area  with a gazebo.  Very small and informal!  Matt is adorable, he cried so much the night before the wedding.  Happy tears of course!  He just was in disbelief at how God placed such a precious Godly woman into his life.

Since we were already more than half way to Arkansas, we decided to head east and surprise Alexa with a 12th Birthday Party with her cousins : )  This is the one thing she really misses (the close relationships with them).  We did not tell the kids we were going there.  It was funny to watch them as we drove down the interstate.  Thomas said we are going the opposite way from the hurricane (there actually was a pacific "hurricane" coming on shore that concerned him because he is still terrified of storms even though we never have them in Vegas!  He definitely outsmarted us, he looked at the compass and figured it out!!!

We had a blast in AR, even though it was only a couple of days.  We were able to see family and that was a blessing because we will not be able to be with them for Christmas.

Jaclyn, Darla, Caleigh, & Alexa
