Fire Station Tour



















Molly, Gabe, Kate, and I met some friends at a local fire station and got a tour. The firewoman that gave the tour was really cute, teaching them what to do if they are in a fire and showing them all her gear. Going to the firestation was all Gabe talked about for days. He had such a hard time waiting for the day. The night before we went, I told Gabe to go to sleep and rest his body so we could go to the firestation in the morning. The first thing he said when he woke up in the morning was "I rested my body. Can we go see the fire trucks now?" Their favorite thing about the tour was seeing the ambulance and fire truck up close and getting to walk through the ambulance. Gabe went through 2 or 3 times, but Molly was to shy to go through. They got little fire hats as we left, which they loved.

The twins turn 3 !!

















The twins turned 3 on March 15th ! We took them to Toys 'R Us and let them pick out a cheap toy. Then we took them to Teddy Bear Builders and let them pick out a stuffed animal to build. They didn't like the empty stuffed animals. They thought they were scary. Later that night, the Herget side of the family came over for cake and ice cream. Jeff and I bought them new scooters and Grandma and Grandpa bought them new helmets and knee pads. They rode their scooters around, inside the house, for days and wore their helmets as much as possible.
