My little blessings!

Just me...

Wow, it seems like things never slow down. But, I did get to spend a few relaxing days over the 4th of July holiday. That was nice.

The fire department has been staying pretty busy. Throughout the year, I keep track of how many incidents each firefighter responded to and the number of training sessions they have attended.

I just completed the statistics for January thru June. So far, I'm doing pretty good... I have responded to 42 of 66 incidents. That puts me in 3rd place, 6 incidents behind the leader, who I have a friendly competition with! As for the training sessions, I have made 14 of 14, which has me tied for 1st place with two others.

So, how has your summer been? I'm sure it has been about as busy as mine!

Well, until next time... keep smiling!!

A Fun Time at Uncle Phil and Aunt Sherrie's Pool!

Happy Birthday Dallas!

I wanted to wish my nephew Dallas a Happy Belated 5th Birthday! I hope your day was as special as you are! He wanted to come up with mom and dad, but since it was his birthday and his party, he could not miss that! He did get to come the last time with them and the boys had a blast! This picture was taken last year. Auntie Joni is giving my boys and Dallas a ride.

Our New Mini Van!

We decided with having a third child that a mini van would be very nice. So, although my Trailblazer is not old, we needed the extra space with having three car seats (or boosters). We picked up the van on Friday. I have not driven it much, but I am sure I will. I did like having my Trailblazer, but Carl is going to keep it and drive it. So, I'll at least get to drive it some! I told my sister-n-law Judith that we decided to join all of them, since we are the last to get a van. Carl did not know if he was ready for a van, but he already likes it. It had eighteen miles on it when we picked it up, but with our IN trips and Avery starting school, I am sure we will add them up fast!

The House at Pooh Corner

Vicki took the kids and I to see "The House at Pooh Corner"on Friday. The boys loved it and are still talking about it. We even got to ride there in Pa's new Hummer.

Congratulations Mr.& Mrs. Jasper Hursley

Happy Birthday Heather!

Happy 30th Birthday to my sister-n-law Heather! It is good to see she is still a kid at heart, even at 30! This was taken at Christmas. Doug and Vicki got this teeter totter for our boys and Chad and Adileah's boys. Auntie Heather was having fun with Preston.
