Hill AFB Museum


We took Holly and my grandma to the Hill Air Force Base Museum in Roy, UT. Justin's sister, Ashley, and her fiancee', now husband Jason, met up with us there. We had so much fun looking at all the aircraft. We even got a private tour of my grandfather's plane that he use to fly, the P-38 Lockheed Lightning. Holly thought it was so neat to see Grandpa Thomas' airplane. She loves seeing the planes fly because she knows her Daddy helps them to fly. Justin told us all about the HH-53 Pave Low helicopter. He missed working on it by 3 months when they retired the it from the Air Force. The Marines still use them today. Holly also got to see the C-130 up close with her dad as you can see. That's the major aircraft Justin works on. She loves to learn about his job and she couldn't be more proud of what Justin does. Thank you honey for your service to our country and the sacrifices you make. Thank you to all our armed services men and women for the sacrifice you and your family make!

Silly Silly String

Holly had never experienced Silly String until her Daddy decided that it was time. He bought her a yellow can, being as that's her favorite color. As you can see, she didn't have the control he did, but nonetheless she had a blast. It was so much fun. And at Grandma Thomas' house there's always room to run and have fun.

Memorial Day Weekend


Over Memorial Day weekend we made a 650 mile trip to Utah from New Mexico. It was certainly long, but we endured it well. We saw some neat rock formations between New Mexico and Colorado around the border. Then in the Canyonlands area we saw a neat round rock. We also saw the Hole in the Rock museum as we were passing into Moab. We then went up to my Grandpa Nicholls' gravesite to place flowers on. As a neat surprise we saw that they had the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall on display. We took Holly to see it and taught her about the sacrifices made during Vietnam and that her Grandpa Nicholls fought that war. She enjoyed helping do flowers and couldn't help be her divaself and pose.
