"I fwee"
Weston, we knew your 3rd birthday party had to be at the fire station! Ever since the fire truck visited your school back in the Fall, we haven't driven by a fire station without hearing you say, "Look, Mommy, fire trucks!" This was by far your best birthday party to date. You enjoyed talking to the firemen, and I think you spent about 30 minutes playing in the truck. You buckled yourself in the seatbelt, and you were ready respond to a call. But, you did get a little frightened when you saw Fireman Carlos slide down the pole. You didn't know where he went. You thought he just disappeared. Well, you've been saying "I fwee" for a while now, and now it is finally true. Happy 3rd Birthday, Sweetie. Mommy and Daddy love you so much. You bring us so much joy and we thank God for the precious gift that He gave us when He gave us you!

For the 4th of July weekend and our 6th wedding anniversary, Will and I went back to the Marriott Shoals. This time, we decided to bring the kids. We had lots of fun swimming in the pool, eating dinner on the veranda, and watching movies each night poolside. We brought Weston's "rescue pack" with us that carried his tent, sleeping bag, and flash light. This was his first time to sleep in a tent, and he loved it! He was also excited to have his very own flashlight, which we used to read his bedtime books in the tent. Mimi and Grandy came to see the fireworks on the 4th. Connor was mesmerized by the fireworks. This was his first fireworks show. We had such great family time, and we look forward to going back.
