These kids LOVE some Firetrucks!!!










Over Spring Break my brother and I took the kids to visit a fire station. Yes - we are crazy! It was Chris, Jack, Camden, Reed, cousin Itoria, and me. But they behaved so well! And the firefighters were so great! We got to sit in the trucks, wear helmets, hold a water hose, look at their special gear, and they even taught us what to do if the firefighters need to find us in a dangerous situation. What an awesome day!

And just in case you don't know, Jack would KILL to be a fireman! Isn't he the cutest one you have EVER seen???

Sorry for the picture overload - they are just so happy in these shots!

Easter pics - better late than never!



Man! The Esater Bunny hooks it up better than he used to!!!

A special surprise weekend!

Guess who showed up last Friday for a surprise weekend? Nana and Papa! All the way from Florida because WHY? They can't get enough of their grandchildren! Isn't that awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More pics of our favorite baby




We were lucky enough to have a visit with Michelle and Baby Olivia on Momday. It was the first time the boys have met her and they loved her. Jack has been asking to play with her for weeks even though she was still in her Mommy's tummy. But when she got here he checked her out and went back to his Fireman show. Amazingly, Reed took to her. He showed me her eyes, nose, ears, and hair

How is it time already for kindergarten?




No, no, no! There is NO WAY my baby is ready for this! Okay, so maybe Camden is ready but Mommy is certainly NOT!

Today we went to the first day at our new school. It was Kindergarten Registration and we stuck out like a sore thumb. New parent alert! But we made it through the whole process. We filled out all the paperwork, Camden was tested for kindergarten readiness, we reviewed the test (she ROCKED), and we toured the school with the principal.

Camden got to go with her friend and neighbor, Brynn, and she knew 2 other girls from preschool last year. One of our neighbors also works there as an aide. So knowing a few people should help, right? It's really exciting but very scary (again for me not her!) I know Camden will do terrific and I will continue to hide my ridiculous fears. Enjoy the pics of our "big" girls!
