{The Deans 2012: Family Photos}

We have not taken family photos for a couple years now so it was time!

It's really hard to get the boys to smile naturally. Roman is always making funny faces.

Sidenote and updates: I have been taking a break from the blog to focus on me and my familia but I'm back and have some fun things to share. I actually picked up a paperback (which I'm trying to do more of this year), The Help, which I read and loved. I have been cuddling with my little men and connecting with my husband. I have been playing with my hair and creating some fun styles and am ready to get back in the gym!!

I can't wait for SPRING!!!!

BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN is a great WOMAN

I love looking at these old family pictures of the great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to be the wife of such a brave hero!

She, herself must have been brave.

"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live."

Martin Luther King Jr., Speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963

US black civil rights leader & clergyman (1929 - 1968)

What are you doing to celebrate, honor and commemorate this weekend?

Top Gun: Flying High!!!

The boys waiting for him to land (gotta love their cheesy smiles)

Let me just say I love Groupon.

As a Father's Day gift the boys and I gave the hubby a chance to fly a plane!!! It's something he has always wanted to do and I guess he says it was on his bucket list!!

Well when I checked my e-mail one May morning there it was, his chance.

He LOVED it and I think I started something. He says it's one of his new hobbies!!

He now wants to work to get his pilot's licence...goodness

Clear skies

Almost time to land

Landing and parking

Checking fuel and gages

Pushing back into position

Walking back to the bunker with his flight coach

Certificate and hour log

The boys and their dad!!!

At least it's safer than a motorcycle (another one of his bucket list items)!!!

Oh boy
