First Flight with Daddy

We finally got to go up in the plane with Cameron. Breanne was so excited when we first got her into the plane and she even said that she would go "woohoo" with me. We got her head set on and got her all strapped in. Cameron and his dad went through the necessary check lists to get us off the ground and started the engine. Breanne was still having fun, but looked a bit nervous. Well, we got off the ground and she wouldn't let me take my hand off her knee. Everytime I tried she wouldn't move anything else, just her hand, and grab mine and place it right back. I tried to get her to look at me to make sure she was okay and when she did she was sticking out her bottom lip holding back a cry I'm sure, but we made pig noses at each other and she started to loosen up. So much in fact that she fell asleep about 20 mins into the flight. Oh well, there will be plenty of other opportunites for us to go up again. It was fun to go up and see him in pilot mode. I usually just get to see him study, as much fun as that is. He did what are called "steep turns". Now, I'm not really a thrill seeking sort of girl and don't really like rollercoasters or anything that gives you that feeling of your stomach in your chest. Those did it. Thank goodness Breanne was asleep because I'm sure I would have freaked her out. I was curled up (as much as a 9 month pregnant lady can be) into the fetal position, letting out little "eeks" from the back seat. I didn't get sick, I just really hate that feeling. Other then that we had a good time.

Are You Smater Then A 2 Year Old?

so baby still hasn't arrived, but I guess we still have about 3 weeks. Cameron's schooling is moving at a snails pace because his instructor got jury duty, but he has turned in his application to be a park ranger and we'll see if they call this week. Our lives have become pretty boring. I keep waiting to go into labor, but alas, that just makes it all worse.

I was able to go to the Jack Johnson concert with my sister and her friends. It was a lot of fun and the music was really good, but I didn't realize that there would be pot smoking. I now have been well educated in the smell of pot. Of course that wasn't the worse, surprisingly. The cigarette smoke is what did me in. Now it's a joke that pregnant, mormon Nicole got a contact high (which isn't true). If I would have known that that kind of thing would be going on I def would not have gone. The venue was beautiful though and I recommend everyone going to the Gorge, just maybe when there's not a concert going on.

We've decided that Breanne's going to know how to work every electronic by the time she's 3. She LOVES to push buttons on anything, drive the cars (while their in park, don't worry), and click the mouse on the computer. If we leave her alone for any length of time up stairs you can bet that she's crawled up on the computer chair and she's clicking away. I swear she gets smarter everyday. Papa John has a hard time baby sitting her because he claims that she's smarter then he is (which probably isn't that far off :) ). She did have to tell him how to put her car seat straps on, but neglected to tell him which was the front and which was the back of her diaper leading to the diaper being put on backwards. We're still trying to decide how thats possible.

Beautiful, Wet, Washington

We made it here all in one piece and have unloaded the last bits of furniture from the truck. That was way too long of a drive (1600+ miles) and envolved too many crossings of state borders (7). But despite the LONG trip we made it and are enjoying the "cold" weather for a change. I've really come to appreciate the rain and all the funny weather that makes WA so beautiful. Of course any thing looks good after being in the place known as desolate for the past 3 months. Even when we were driving through Utah I made a comment that it wasn't as ugly as I remembered it.
Anyway, Cameron is out looking for the right aviation school and will hopefully start on Monday. I'm also trying to convince him to apply for a Park Ranger position at one of the state parks around here. It pays well and he gets to carry a firearm. Does it get any better than that?
The baby is getting huge and I'm thinking (and hoping) that she decides to come a couple weeks earlier then expected. If not then we're looking at about 6 more weeks (I'm praying for 3).
