Out of AIR

Well, finally it has happened. I am out of AIR! It was about 6 and a half weeks, but it is finally over. Outside the building is our practice area and there is a little archway with a guided missle over it, and a bell on the archway. The tradition is that when you graduate air, you walk through the archway and ring the bell. So, on Friday, October 26, 2007, my class rang the bell to "Highway to the danger zone". Then, we all shaved our mustaches underneath the archway. Man it feels good to get that off my face. So, here are some pics of my class, and us having some fun around the archway. In the background you can see an F14 and some other cool ordnance items.

Baxter's Sweater

Here is little Baxter in his new sweater. Is it a coincidence that the sweater is burnt orange? I think not. When we put this on Baxter, he seems pretty content, but as soon as we leave the room, it comes off. I don't even think a straight jacket could stop this little Houdini!

Check out the stache

Wow, this is only two weeks. I look like Mario. well, minus the hair.

Lisa's first day of work

Here Lisa is in her uniform as she starts her first day at the Child Devolpment Center. I think a brighter color might be a little more exciting for the children.

A surprise from Baxter

Alright, the other night, Lisa and I went out to see a movie and get dinner and when we came home, Baxter's cage was wide open. We called out his name and from the love sac, his little head popped up. The real surprise is what he left on the carpet!

The Air-Stache

Alright, so I am growing a mustache. I am in the longest division of the school right now, which is Air. In lieu of that, myself and all of my classmates are growing mustaches or, "air-staches!" So far, I haven't got lower than a 95 on a test.

Bath time with Baxter

We just got Baxter some new shampoo because he is stinky. He is not quite the water dog. Oh well, at least he is a little more "fresh."

Tug of war

One of Baxter's favorite games, other than go potty on the carpet is Tug of War. Here he is yanking the cord of the camera.

The rest of our time in Alabama

Here are some of the other things we did while in Alabama. We ate BBQ at some place in downtown Birmingham. Then, on the way home we stopped at this huge peach. It was pretty awesome. We took some silly pics and then enjoyed a juicy Alabama peach. Good times!

Our trip to the Birmingham Alabama Temple!

This weekend, we took a road trip with our friends Evan and Eileen Maschger. It was a five hour drive, and the temple was beautiful. We took some serious pics and then we had a little fun too. All in all, it was a great trip.
