REMOTE CONTROL PLANES: Jake got a fun remote control air-plane"big Blaine" got one too (Paige and i bought them together so they could play!)here are the boys flying them....

an no remote control airplane trip would be complete with out flying one into a TREE... don't worry..they were able to knock it down and there was no damage!

Blaine and Kameryn Christmas morning

ANGEL OF HOPE:

Every year in December the cemetery hold a special candle lighting at the Angel of Hope statue in honor of all the children who have passed away....so Jake and i were able to go with Blaine in first weekend in December. it was a very nice ceremony and a very neat experience unfortunately we were not able to stay for the whole thing, but we were just glad that our "honorary" brick made it in time for the candle lighting. And we went over to visit again on christmas day! there were still some flowers left on his brick from the candle lighting, but we brought a new flower pot and a giant balloon for the Angel of Hope.
