Fireman Devin



Devin was a lucky little boy last week. His Uncle Dave is a firefighter and brought the fire engine home with him one day to make something for it... of course that meant Devin got to see it and even take a drive!

He happily tried on the firefighter costume and proudly wore it!


Uncle Dave even let him sit in the driver's seat.


Even though she was too "cool" to admit it, Ally thought it was pretty cool too.



He even let them hold the hose and pretend to put out a fire. Devin loved it!!!


Wearing that heavy hat and carrying that hose was just too heavy... so he took off the hat for a few minutes to really get the work done. And he was so proud of himself!




Then it was time to take an actual drive in the fire truck. I will let this picture tell you how Devin felt about that:


Thanks Uncle Dave! Your the coolest firefighter we know!!!

10 Candles on 11/11/11

That's right, my little girl proudly announces she is double digits now... 10 whole years old.

Birthdays around our house seem to last around a week or so... trying to squeeze everything in.

First we celebrated with my side of the family the Saturday before her Birthday.





The next day we had Alex's parents come over to celebrate with us.


We also gave her our presents that day too.


Her main present was a karaoke machine. The kids LOVED it!


Even Grandpa Sam got in on the action.


For her actual Birthday she invited 8 friends over for a party and a sleepover... this will be the last time I ever have that many little girls sleep over at my house! Can I just say it was CRAZY!!!




Happy Birthday my not-so little girl. I am so proud of the amazing, sweet and beautiful young woman that you are. You bring me so much joy watching you. You are so alive, outgoing and fun to be around. You have a sweet, sensitive side that makes sure no one is left out and always included in your fun. I love who you are and am so proud and awed by how incredible you are. Heavenly Father truly blessed me in allowing me to be your mother and watch you become who He wants you to be. I love you!!!
