 My first time up with Chad as the pilot!!!  It was beautiful over Kansas.  Salina is known for all it's wheat fields and so it is really green right now.  In about 2 weeks the wheat will start to sprout and the fields with turn brown.  It was so neat watching Chad fly.  He didn't prank scare me at all like I thought my Chad would.  Thank you Chad! He was an awesome pilot!  It was a fun ride!




 This is over a camp ground area that you have to pay a yearly membership fee! Seriously!!!




 Waves of grain!  Just gorgeous!

 Crazy me had to get the blades! lol!

 Had to get our shadow:-) The funny part is the doors were off so I really was scared Chad's iphone was going to go flying out.  Had to hold on tight!
 This is a part of Salina!
 Coming into the airport for landing.
 Uncle Dan and Aunt Gail told us about this place...The Cozy Inn.  Their only advice was to not go in to eat but to grab the burgers outside and eat them outside....do not even put them in your car either!  Wow, lets just say we didn't FOLLOW THE RULES and went in to eat to gain the whole experience.  OH MY!!! The smell was wonderful outside but inside it was strong!  This burger joint has been around since the 20's and has THE SAME GRILL since the 20's!  There is only 5 bar stools in the place so "COZY" fits perfectly! The burgers are tiny so you order about 6 at a time and they are yummy!  So when we got home...all clothes went into the wash very quickly!  My car smelled like the Cozy Inn for a week! Next time we will follow the rules!!!
 Chad was offered free Kansas State baseball tickets so we jumped in the car and drove to Manhattan to watch the game!  They were playing Baylor!





 Of course yall all know we now have tornado parties instead of hurricane parties!  Here is Chad outside taking pics while the tornado is forming instead of in the basement!  He did get some really neat videos.  It missed us and formed better North of Salina! Whooohoooo!
 After a long night of tornado partying!
Dyeing Easter Eggs!

Look at all those pretty colors!

The Easter Bunny came! Rayla enjoyed finding the eggs hidden all over the house.

Playing with her goodies!

Thank you Mimi & Pappy and Uncle Dan & Aunt Gail for my sweet easter cards.  I have a video of her opening her mailbox and getting the letters but it's too big for blogger:-(

Peek-a-boo!

After church in the beautiful wheat fields.
Sorry I can't figure out how to turn the images on the new blogger format! So frustrating!




Thank you Mimi and Aunt Tiff for my pretty little Easter dress!




We went to our friends the Lewis's and had Easter lunch and an egg hunt!

I see one!!!!!!

She had so much fun!
 Meeting Mitt Romney in Shreveport!

 It was a neat experience to say hello again after 10 years! My only regret here is Lolli is in the back and not in the picture!!! My favorite part of the whole day is Rayla raising her fist and saying to Mitt...Go Mitt!


Rayla Bay and her Lolli:-)
 We got his signature too!
 Having fun in the bath!
 We had a fun day going to the Wichita Zoo!  Rayla just chillin'


 Awww two love birds!



 Wow, this one is letting me touch him mommy!
 and...pet him a few times!


 I'm glad that window is behind us!!! I think he really likes us!
 I heard him say...this is my better side! CHEESE!
