are photos of Aaron's early years |
|
Aaron was a happy baby!
|
Aaron
always knew he wanted to be in the Army. |
|
We had many adventures. We did
white water rafting and slow water rafing together.
|
We
all took a Disney cruise. |
We spent
the Christmas holidays aboard Guenevere a number of times. |

These
are Videos of Aaron growing up
The
videos you see below are
snippets of time that we were lucky enough to spend with Aaron. As we
lived and traveled together as a family, I tried to take
movies/videos as much as I could. Often, Aaron would be camera shy,
but I gave it my best effort. I just wish I had been more insistent.
As you watch these examples of our life, I hope you can see how
vibrant and alive Aaron was, and how much he meant to us.

In
July of 1990, we took the kids (Aaron, Brandon and Kevin) to
Medieval Times
In
July of 1990, we took the kids (Aaron, Brandon and Kevin) to
Medieval Times for dinner. Needles to say, we had a GREAT
time! This
place is wonderful. This show was a great deal considering the cost and
the length of the show. And the food was very good also! I am not sure
who enjoyed it more, the kids or us.
The Green Knight (our knight) was knocked out early in the show, before
the call of to the death. But came back in disguise to win all.

In 1991 we took a vacation to my
mothers house in Michigan
In
December of 1991, we, Jill, Aaron, Brandon and myself Greg
took a trip to visit my grandfather, mother and brother in Weidman
Michigan. We had a good time doing a lot of things and visiting.

4th of July wedding with our boys
Jill and I were married on the 4th of July in
1992. I can ALWAYS
remember our anniversary! We had a VERY informal ceremony in our home.
We invited everyone over for a 4th of July Bar-B-Q. Half way through
the day, the minister showed up and we (Jill and I) changed into a bit
better clothes than shorts and Ts. Aaron was Jill's ring barer and
Brandon was mine. It was great fun for all and one heck of a good
Bar-B-Q. |
Summer of 1992 camping
In 1992, we did a Guys camp out. Aaron, Brandon
and I went for
the trip. Jill did join us after a couple of days. We had a good time
fishing, swimming and hiking. We were at Redtop. The place was full of
deer and we saw them often. It's a GREAT way to get closer to your kids. |
In 1993 I needed a way to get the
boys school grades up
How
do you motivate your kids to get good grades in school? You
CAN try money or things, but that may be giving them the wrong message
in life. Our boys grades were slipping a bit, so I made a deal with
them. For every A they got on the final report card, they could hit me
in the face with a cream pie. OOOhhhhhhh but wait, a life lesson is
also that most things go 2 ways. The deal also included that for every
grade of C or below, I got to hit them!
IT WORKED VERY WELL! Here is the video of it in 1993. Our good friends
Mike, Julie, Kevin and Kelsey were there and just had to jump into the
fun!

In
1993 we took a Bahamas cruise on the Disney Big Red Boat
In 1993, we all

time I missed taking more video!
