William is 9 weeks old

William is now 9 weeks old and loves to smile, except not for the camera so much.

William loves his red puppy, on his swing! And just recently learned that he can hit it, it's now one of his favorite pass times.

Geocaching?

We recently learned about something called Geocaching. It's super awesome! First you go to Geocaching.com and create a free account then on the left hand side click Hide & Seek Cache and enter your address and it pulls up tons of hidden treasures that can be located with a GPS all around your location. With in the cache is a log book that you can sign as well as some trinkets that if you take something you just have to replace it with something of at least equal value. In our very first geocache adventure we found this old C-123 provider that crashed in 1968 when taking off from a local air field, Shawn loved it! We also brought our friends Roger and Erika with us too. Even little William is with us bundled real close to Mom in a Moby wrap.

Here's a quick video tutorial.

Don't do it Shawn!

You can't blame him when you look at the sketchy bridge on the left of the picture.

Super Stuck, luckily some good Samaritans pulled us out.

It was high centered really bad and there was no getting it out without some help!

Normally the Geocaches are in ammo cans and we found this one, however this one reeks of sabotage!

So we didn't find the Geo but we did find this Old TA-4J.


It's seen better days!

This is the Exact TA-4J in 1983 when she was still flying before it had a few mishaps that deemed the aircraft unfit for flight, it was used as a trainer for Navy pilots. Here's some pics, (carrier mishap pic 1, carrier mishap pic 2, carrier mishap pic 3) of the possible accident that was the final straw that resulted in the final resting place out on the range for 156935.

William's 2 day Hospital Stay

After 12 attempts and 2 blown out veins they finally got a I.V to start antibiotics, they tried both hands and feet so he's got to be sore. Unfortunately that I.V fell out later and they had to try another 5 times before they got one in his hand. After that I.V the Pediatrician said that if she had known that it fell out she wouldn't have had them put one back in.

Despite it all he still seemed like he was in pretty high spirits.

They really weren't sure what he had so they kept him for 2 days and 2 nights, before he came home they said that it could be RSV but they weren't sure? His chest X-rays were clear too so that's all they can assume.

Worn out monkey.

Shawn thought that the T.V was a pretty cool feature of the room.

St. Patrick's Day
