I-Fly

Hudson experienced flying at I-Fly in Tigard.  He was so nervous at first and full of technical questions, but after his first flight he was all smiles and asked for 2 more low flights.  Next time, he may be willing to go on a high flight.  I'm proud of him for trying something that seemed scary. 

All suited up and ready to fly

And the wind turns on and the nerves set in

He was assigned #95 and called himself "Flying McQueen"

He got pretty high near the end!  

First Tattoo

🐞 Today I got my first tattoo 🐞

I was totally scared but had a great support system. Greg and Alex might need to ice their hand from the initial squeeze but once it got going, it was easier than the 3 root canals and an epidural mid contraction 😀

Hudson and I sing a bedtime song to the tune of "You are my sunshine" but it's "You are my love bug".  A love bug has always been a ladybug for us.  My first tattoo is for Hudson and I and I love it!

I was there with Alex when she got her first tattoo in College and she returned the favor today for me!

Are you sure it won't hurt 'that bad?!'

OK not so bad

Actually, kinda excited to see it finished

❤👏👍❤

OK, I love it!

Costume Dinner

Sometimes you just have to mix things up.  Saturday we decided to do a family dinner out; the only catch, you had to be in costume!  

I present to you Donut man, Hotdog, the Flash, Cat in the Hat, Elf and Shithead.

Our waiter snuck in a selfie!  He played a long and did a great job with our crew
