{birth}days

S is my new favorite letter. An "s" on the end of a word makes it plural and we are now a plural family with two birthdays in the month of September.First we celebrated Huntley turning 3. All this little girl wanted for her birthday was balloons and donuts. She is easy to please and I loved making her day by giving her exactly what she wanted.



A week later we had another birthday and Paisley joined our family. The past week we have been spending our time getting to know her and loving the fact we have two little girls.

What am I???

This is Chris's home away from home. Unfortunately it's not the temple but the fire truck. It looks like a fire truck, at least I think it does. Yeah it isn't your typical red engine you see running around town but if you saw it going down the road wouldn't you just assume it was a fire truck. Apparently some people don't and part of the fun I've had this summer is Chris telling me stories of random people coming up to and talking to them and thinking they were something else. My favorite so far has been last week when they were working on a project up Big Cottonwood Canyon. A lady with a fishing pole came up and was pretty excited to see them. She wanted to know where they would be dumping the fish. I guess it kind of does look like one of those fish trucks but I think I'd start to wonder when it had the words "Fire" written all over it and what kind of fish would be coming out of it.

Last Saturday was our "Day of Service" for our ward and yes lazy me actually participated. Chris spent the day using his skills chopping down a tree. How's that for fun, do something all week and then do it again on the weekend minus the fire. Huntley and I helped pull weeds. Which is something I think about doing all week long in our own yard but never actually do. Unfortunately our fun was interrupted by a freight train, Chris's new ring tone for being called out, and we had to go send our daddy off to Arizona.Now the two of us lovely ladies are hanging out hoping we don't become a trio before Chris can get home!
