"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.

Last weekend, we rented a camper from the Air Force base to go on our first family camping trip. We went to Piney Grove at Bay Springs Lake so we could do some boating, too. Weston was so excited about staying out in the woods in his "camper trailer". He was such a great helper when we were unpacking and putting things away in the cabinets. He also followed Will everytime he walked outside the trailer, so he could help with whatever Will was doing. Weston had his "rescue pack" backpack with him that contained his very own flash light, compass, and water bottle. He was so excited to have his own flash light. Connor was crawling all over the trailer and looking for things to get into, and he found the fire extinguisher. He was actually able to pull the pin out all by himself before we took it away. During the day, we took the boat out for some relaxing on the water. We had so much fun that Will thinks we should buy a trailer!
