Birthdays and Rainy Days

We had a party for P last night, and yes it did rain. This was his first birthday party with friends- so he was SO excited! It was a firetruck party and 2 of our good friends are volunteers so they brought the truck for the kids to play on and with. Besides the thought of having 20 kids in my house, I really didn't want it to rain because the truck might not get to come. I shouldn't have worried because (as usual) I was taken care of and it all worked out fine! It didn't start storming (and I mean stormimg-lighting and thunder along with a little rain) until almost everyone arrived and was in the house, and then stopped when the truck got here!! In fact, the lawn got wetter with the deck gun than the rain!! :) AND- the rain started back as everyone was getting in the cars! How cool is that! But the most important thing was that P had a BALL!
Here are a few shots from last night...



After the party, Tom drove P around the block


Here he is with his COOL cake that everyone raved over! We ate the cupcakes at the party, and then we took the cake over to the fire department and he shared it with C shift!


Getting this many kids kids to be still for a picture was funny! Here are the older ones that weren't scared of the truck! ha!


If you have access to a fire truck, I highly recomend this for a kids party! It was cheap, and the kids had a good time!

And the race is on...

I know, if you have been looking at my blog, that I haven't posted in awhile. Basic explanation- May/June is upon us! :) We are now back in town (at least we all are for the weekend) and are trying to catch up on things at the house. I will post pictures and recaps from the last 2 weeks soon- so be checking back- before we hit the road again for the next set of adventures!
Love yall!
