odds and ends

I took A LOT of pictures on Saturday at the Air Show. I am noting this because it is very unusual for me. I have a friend that takes pictures of her adorable son all the time, I mean like several a day no matter what they are doing, and they are gorgeous pictures. Someday her son will thank his mother for all the beautiful pictures he has chronicling his childhood and someday my son will give me a noogey for the handful of crappy pictures I took of his childhood.

So everyone give me a hand, I took a lot of pictures on Saturday... I had to share some more.

Seriously, someone is willing to fly in this thing?? I would go 60 feet above ground in it, but that is it, thank you very much!

Matty loved the propellers, he was constantly inspecting them and trying to turn them, isn't he cute in his Hawaiian shorts?

This is the little plane we bought for him. He loved it so much he would drive it along the ground on his hands and knees instead of walking. And let me tell you the pavement was hot, but he didn't care he loved playing with his plane.

Doesn't he look groovy in his sunglasses?

When I first walked up to this plane I had this inner dialogue- this is the same model of plane that Tom Cruise flew in Top Gun and I will mention it to Steve and he will be so impressed I recognized that and he will instantly be reminded of how cool his wife it.

So, I said to Steve, "This is the Top Gun plane, right?"

This was Steve's response to my question, "Nooooo, it absolutely is not, come on Erica!"

Oh well, I tried.

I just love this kid in his sunglasses, he looks so cool! I have the coolest kid on the block!! If only his mom was equally as cool.
