little birds


So the Colonel came across some sweet little remote control helicopters at the PX and must have known the joy it would bring us Oliverson (and Ashton) boys. I got a lil AH-64 Apache attack bird...Charlie's been flying his non-stop since he got it...achieving a beautiful tactical landing on the ceiling fan...which, let me tell you, would be extremely difficult to successfully accomplish. Chrissy and I made a fun little video of it...lil bugger is quite mesmerizing when it's up in the air flying around. I've already made preparations to add to my little aviation squadron with a CH-47 on the way to bring some heavy lift and troop transport capabilities to the table. Good times.

The Prayer at Valley Forge



Well we had a great Christmas...I always hate to come to the end of the holidays. They really are my favorite time of year. For some time I've wanted the painting of George Washington kneeling in prayer. It brings together two things that I'm extremely passionate about in God and country. So this year I received a fine print of it in a nice frame...I love it! It looks really nice hanging up on the wall.

Among other things, I received a sweet longhorn deal formed out of metal, it's awesome. I've dubbed him "Stubbz". I really enjoyed hanging out with family, eating good food, and just enjoying the holidays. Only 357 more days until Christmas 2011!!!
