We went to the Air Show at Hill Air Force Base and it was spectacular! The kids and I have never been so it was really neat! And tons of people were there!

Konnley had fun taking tons of pictures of the bombers,

parachuters, and stunt planes.

We had fun checking out the cool planes and posing for the camera, well at least Jaden liked posing!

Sorry, Jacey & Jaden, I think you have to be taller to go on that ride!

That is some missile!

Helicoptors rock!

I hope I never see her behind a machine gun again!

Jaden is ready to join the army now..... I don't think so!!

Here is a preview of mass destruction by a big boy with his big toy!

Here is a decent looking house, untouched by the crazy ideas and major destruction that the Tippetts' always seem to start on a perfectly fine home...

The grass is green and lush.......not for long!

Oh and the backyard is average not to much going on....not for long!

It really could use some work so let's get some huge back-hoe and tear it up!!

It took a ton of rocks and fill dirt to get rid of the slope.

Oh I hope they don't have the keys!

Kelly had a great time playing in his back-hoe! The girls and boys took turns too. Kelly had a blast taking out the old patio, stairs and leveling the yard.

Soooo glad to see those old stairs go, they were so ugly!

As you can see the front yard has been destroyed by the dump trucks that unloaded all the rocks and dirt. The sprinkler system was terrible to begin with so we didn't even worry about watering anything - it was all going to go out eventually! Sorry neighbors, we didn't abandon our home I promise!

Kamryn, Jacey and their friend Hayden are inspecting the dirt pile. They all ended up brown and dusty!

Wow! It looks like someone has been using dynamite!

We cut down 28 trees that were either dead or going to die (quaking aspens don't last long). And sad to say a peach tree that was smack in the middle of the yard! Kelly had fun using a chain saw! It was a ton of work and a ton of firewood too!

It has been a buisy year!



Just about done clearing everything that was old and overgrown off! I have a new respect for those that work in landscaping and do their own sprinkler system! Hopefully in the spring we will be finished with curbing, a new fence and grass seed! Wish us luck!!!
