Hill Aerospace Musem

As one of my birthday presents, my wife and her family took me to the Hill Aerospace Museum at Hill AFB, just south of Ogden, UT. I love old airplanes and anything to do with history, so what a great present this was. I have been wanting to go here for a long time.




B29 "Superfortress"
Ethan loved looking at all the old airplanes and helicopters too.  He even got to sit in  a miniature airplane and "fly" around (by fly, that means daddy pushed him around in it).  He also got to sit in an ejector seat and pretend he was the President of the United States.
The Museum is incredible and has tons of old airplanes and war memorabilia from all wars. Anything from the big cargo planes and bombers, to the small fighter jets and even replicas of the Wright Brothers Flyers. We highly recommend it: Hill Aerospace Museum

Ethan Turns One!

Ethan James Kirkham:
Our son turned 1 year old on November 17, 2011. Melanie took him to our friend Matt Mitchell and had some photos taken of him and he totally hammed it up.  What an incredible blessing Ethan has been in our life. He makes us laugh, smile, cry, and try to do better every day. I don't think you can really understand what this life is all about until you are a parent.

Ethan is walking now, so our life has become a constant chase. He is fascinated with lights and will point out any and all lights in the house or wherever we are and say "ite". He is learning to say words like 'dog', 'car', 'bath', and the one that melts my heart...'dad'.
