99 years young

Our (step) Grandpa turned 99 on the 12th!! He's such an amazing kind hearted person that just makes you smile all the time! Grandpa Jerry was also an accomplished pilot that was in the Army during WWII where he received great honors including the purple heart. The purple heart he received for his great survival skills and helping his troops when they were shot down over occupied France. Grandpa Jerry is our hero!  
Here's a pic of his plane..

Grandpa Jerry also has a HUGE heart for dogs.. he loves them as much as he does flying



Here are most of his medals.. 

there were WWII planes flying around too :)

Summer Fun

It seems like every weekend is packed full of some kind of fun! Heather was promoted from kinder to 1st grade!! Our dear friends got married and we have been non stop the past month and it doesnt look like its slowing down...which is just fine :) 
We went to Big Bear last weekend, it was nice to have the Hannah Clan together in one place. My Dad-in-law and his brother (Uncle Toad) found the perfect spot to say farewell to Grandma and Grandpa Hannah. It was a beautiful spot over looking the valley and the day was just beautiful
what a great view..

Grandpa Hannah passed in the late 70's and Grandma Hannah in 2006. It was a nice tribute to such wonderful people

Uncle Toad and Gary

The Hannah Clan.. we laughed after the picture was taken because we didnt even realize the reflection from the hood :) 

we stopped and played in Holcom Valley too .. Dingo liked the little cabin 

June 12 this amazing man (Grandpa Jerry) is turning 99!!! He's still going strong and very independent. Grandma Fran and Grandpa Jerry are a true love story

June 12 is known as Lovers Day.. its also the day I married the Love of my Life!! 
Im so blessed!

Playing at Prado

Family Sunday Funday!!! 
we had talked about going to Prado park for some weekend camping and thought we should check out the grounds and see what it was like. We have heard many good comments from friends and they were right! The place was fun! Even for just a day adventure
took a little adventure trail and checked out the lake


Dingo spotted the ducks.. 

this gigantic vulture was looking for something for lunch.. the bird was HUGE! 

Love my little family 

out in a meadow was this beautiful creature 

The Crane grabbed a big lizard for lunch.. I had no idea they ate lizards! 

saw a cute family of ducks

the weather was nice..didnt need a jacket that's for sure

where the kid goes.. the dog goes.. :) 

they found some baby fish and a friendly duck 

they have a pretty nice water park for the kids.. the furry kids can play too :) 
Im surprised the dont have a more slip resistant turf for the water area.. it gets pretty slippery.. bring water shoes (noted that for next time) 

the play ground was kid approved! 
what a great way to spend a Sunday.. any day actually!

Planes of Fame

Sunday we headed out to Chino Airport for the Planes of Fame air show.. it was AMAZING! And to top it off, some very nice person gave us free tickets as we were walking in! 
The weather was so nice and so much to see walking around. 
 We just love military vehicles...


 AT-12 Guardsman
 SBD-5 Dauntless
 this jet was amazing!!!! it could literally park in mid air and then launch off at super sonic speed

 the Corsair is one of our favorites

this is inside one of the troop carriers, it served in many military actions 
I believe they said it was a british plane

inside the cockpit


 it was pretty cool to check out.. cant wait to check out the museum they have in palm springs 

the Raptor was impressive!! it gave us chills watching it


 the bad asses of the bad ass right here.. generations of the top flying machines

my loves..

it was an amazing day watching these flying machines! so glad we get to enjoy the beauty of them and didnt have to face the wrath of them. Cant wait to go back and check out the museum here too.
