Fire Open House

I love our fire department. Their open house was awesome - the kids got to climb all over their firetrucks and ambulances, go for a ride in a small firetruck, see a helicopter land like 20 feet in front of them, run through a smoking house obstacle course and spray fire hoses at targets.



...and there was a bunny too. Did I mention the free hotdogs?

A firefighter asked Gwen what she should do if she found matches. Her answer - "play with them." Apparently safety isn't a big focus in our house.

Owen was born 4 weeks early and still managed to be the largest baby we've had yet. It was a pretty good feeling when my due date rolled around and instead of anticipating a visit to the hospital, I had a month old baby. It's a good thing too, because if my butt had gotten any bigger I would have had to buy even more stretchy pants (in addition to the stretchy pants I already had to purchase after outgrowing the ones I'd worn with the other two).

After I got home from the hospital Ryan told me that he was glad Owen came early because "we'd both gotten pretty tired of me being pregnant." Haha, I hadn't realized it had been so rough on him...

Ryan's Work Fair

The highlight of this fair for the kids was the face painting, for us (or maybe just me) it was the all-you-can-eat barbecue lunch...

I've created a file in our photo library with the above title. Here is a peek...

He really can't help himself - he looks up to Gwen way too much.
