Firefighter Demonstrations

Firefighter demonstrations were held at Home Depot this evening. They have this every year, but this was the first time I've had a chance to go. I was very impressed with the way the guys did everything!!Propane burn simulation

******************************************* Derek ended up working overtime today. We were planning to go to this anyway, but since he was working on a rescue truck, we got to see him in action. I really had no idea what all was involved with an auto extrication. Some things about his job I'd really rather not know anyway...

Working to remove the doors and roof.

Working to get the "victim" out.

Dayton's First Year, In Review

If you'd like to compare, I did one of these for Kylah as well. Just scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to view her book.

Dayton is 1 Today!!

One year ago, today, Dayton was born. One year ago, today, I fell in love again...

This year has gone by way too fast. It is so hard to believe that Dayton is one!!

Dayton's 1st Birthday Party

We had Dayton's party at the fire station. Derek was on duty and today was the only day that worked for everyone to come. It was a good place to have a party!

Kylah and I were trying to help him taste the icing.

The boys: Ryder (9 1/2 months), Dayton and Tatum (7 months)

Cousins!!

Right at the end, the guys had to make a run - it was kind of neat that we got to watch them leave.

Fall Trip

We turned Dayton around before our trip since he will be one next week and so he could see what we see when riding. For the most part he really likes it, but he gets tired of being "stuck" anywhere for too long, he'd much rather be up and on the move!

Checking to see if Kylah is looking at him.

"Look, I can see out!!"

Lighthouse in Holland, MI

We all had our pictures made in the giant wooden shoes in Holland, MI.

We went to the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, MI. It would have been a bit better a few weeks ago when all the animals were there. Most of them had gone south for the winter...

Kylah with her favorite animal, the flamingo!

Dayton kept himself entertained part of the time playing peek-a-boo!
