Hill AFB Air Show

This past weekend we had an Air Show at our base! It was a lot of work but well worth it! David and I both worked booths for our squadron both days. We were able to see so many cool things including airplanes, jets, fly bys, static displays and the THUNDERBIRDS! We also were able to meet up with a good friend that we met in Alabama at SOS. He was able to come have dinner with us and we truly enjoyed our time together! The best part was that we were able to be together as a family and experience such a grand event! Olivia totally got the whole thing! She spent most of the time pointing in the air saying "airplane!" Daddy even got her a little F-16 that she flew around the whole day. Plus how can you forget the adorable flight suit that she was wearing! Good thing I remembered to get it out of the closet because it no longer fits! Wish you all could of been here to experience the Air Show...maybe next time! You know you may think that because we live this life, see, hear and some of us actually fly in the jet itself that we would be sick of it! But you know it NEVER gets OLD!!!

BIG GIRL BED

Ok I am supposed to be getting ready to go to the doctor's office but.... I would rather write to you about our first night in our BIG GIRL BED! David was working really late last night so I was flying solo. I wanted the routine to stay the same of bath, books, bed but Sawyer didn't agree! We attempted but after a long hour or so fo crying, yelling and tears I finally called my saving Grace Tory and she took Sawyer for me. Time to focus on Olivia and getting her to stay in her bed! We read, hugged and then I laid her down....... but forgot I had to build the side rail to keep her from falling out! Olivia and I sat down to build the easy, no tools required rail (yeah right)! We got it all put together but couldn't figure out how to attatch it to the bed so out in the hall it went! Time for bed so I laid her down and she screamed for Daddy! I left the room with a heavy heart and shut the door. She screamed for Daddy for about 5 mins or so and then fell fast alsleep! A few hours later I went back to check on her and couldn't find her! After searching I found her under the bed asleep! Not sure if she rolled off or what but when I went to get her she woke up. I held her for awhile while she cried for Daddy and I finally had to just put her down again. About 5 more mins of crying and then she fell back asleep. Early this morning I went to check on her and once again she was out of the bed and half way under it! But asleep and that is all I can ask for! She woke up this morning knocked on the door and when we let her out she was all smiles! We all survived with some sleep! Here are some pics throughout the night!

Getting BIG!

The last few days in the Guenthner house hold have been a little rough on Daddy & Mommy Guenthner! Sawyer turned 3 months yesterday and Olivia became a 30 year old! Well, at least that is what it feels like! We had a long weekend with the Air Show this past weekend and didn't get much sleep or spend a lot of time at home. Yesterday after getting up super early and heading to work a booth at the air show in the pouring rain we finally returned home. Olivia had fallen asleep in the car and was super tired. We transfered her to her crib and began dealing with Mommy not feeling well. After about an hour or so I thought I heard a sound that reminded me of someone playing with a door stopper. We ignored it but it just kept coming. Finally, after about 10 mins or so David went and checked on her. When he opened the door he got the usual "Hi Daddy!" but only this time his little girl was not in the crib. She happen to be behind the door playing with the door stopper! He looked in the crib and saw that she had stacked up her doll, stuffed poodle, and Daddy doll in the corner and must of climbed out. The terrible day and night went on and finally the sun came up. After being up for awhile taking care of Sawyer's needs I heard "Baby! Baby! Baby!" I figured I better get in the room to see what was going on! I figured she would jump out of the crib trying to get her baby since nothing went to bed with her that night. Oh no worries she was already out of the crib, had thrown the baby in the crib and couldn't get her out! We never heard a thump, crying or anything unusual! Olivia has become an escape artist! We put her back in the crib and we watched her attempt to climb out by throwing her leg up and using her upper body strength to pull herself over the side of the crib. So we spent the rest of the day coming to the realization that our baby girl is no longer a baby but a BIG GIRL that needs a BIG GIRL BED! Here is the pics of her crib turned into a BIG GIRL daybed! Check back to see how our first night goes!
