Flying High with the Francoms! You All Look Like Ants!

Yesterday James called me to see if the boys wanted to come watch a plane take off at his work, it was prom and a lot of kids were flying for their date. When we got down there we went in the hanger to show the boys the planes and David Redd told us he would take our family flying after all the dates were done. The boys waited all morning, every time I went outside, or said anything to them they would say "Did they call, are we flying". Finally the call came and off we went.

Here is are my four boys in the airplane.

Bryant didn't like how loud the propeller was.

Bryant was looking a little sickly so we gave him a sick bag just in case. Latter he told me "I am not even going to throw-up in this bag."

James and David enjoying the flight.

Recapture.

Towards the end I was feeling really sick. I was sweating so bad, and eyeing Bryant's throw-up bag. It felt like the stomach flu. I think Ethan was feeling it a bit too.

Safely on land, and now to start feeling better.

I was worried that the flight would be really bumpy because of how windy it was, but it was actually a pretty smooth flight. It was the first time I had ever ridden in a small plane. It was awesome, Thank you David.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Frost!

The kids love Grandpa so much, they just flock to him.

4-wheeler cake was perfect for Grandpa.

Grandpa Frost had his 80th birthday last week. James' Mom Ann had a great idea, for his gift we would all write him a letter with any memories we have of him, and his influence in our lives. They almost got all the letters (children, grandchildren and great grandchildren), except for the missionaries who didn't have time to mail it, and one kid who had a huge final project, but he probably sent it by now, pretty good.
We had a big family dinner with my favorite Cafe Rio, mmmmmmmm sooooooo good. I made the Birthday cake, I was very happy with it, it ended up being one of my favorites that I have done. The hardest part was keeping the kids out of it. When James got home he just saw the cupcakes and he was really impressed that I wrote letters and everything ;), he didn't know I did the cake too, so when he saw that he was pretty impressed.

Ethan is always content when he is eating.
