Sammy giving me a devil smile and eating his banana.  MMMM.

 Tommy working on a birthday present for Grandpa. They built a bird house

 Breakfast at the Airport...checking out the "soldier helicopter" that flies over our house all the time. Tommy was just a bit excited. :-)

 And while they were on that helicopter, this plane landed and drove up right next to it!! Mommy even thought it was pretty cool

 This is NOT zoomed. This is really how close we were!

 Tommy in the helicopter pilot seat!

 Sammy was pretty excited too.
