The Coolest Thing









Today when I was leaving work, I heard a jet flying overhead. Usually I look up and take the chance to watch. This time, instead of the standard gray F-16, it was a red white and blue Thunderbird F-16! I know that this year, the USAF Thunderbirds are getting "new" jets. Technically, they fly some of the oldest jets in service so that the newer ones are being used by pilots in war zones and such. But their new jets are being customized at Hill Air Force Base. You know, taking out a gun or two and putting in a smoke system instead, not to mention that snazzy paint job. Can't wait to see them in action again in November!

That's pretty sweet sis! Yeah, I hate to admit it, but seeing the Thunderbirds was pretty sweet! I'm excited to do it again in November! Um and wanna hear something funny? Anne was sitting with her legs out changing Xander and he totally peed right in her crotch and she's wearing white pants! So it totally looks like she peed herself!!! HAHA!!! I had to laugh. And so did Xander right after he did it! Classic :)
