Kristi's Bridal Shower

   Today was a great evening! I attended my future sister in law's bridal shower. We started off with some delicious home made smoothies! We each were lucky enough to enjoy 3 different flavors! There was Mango-Pineapple, Piña Colada, and Orange Berry Blitz all of them were amazing, of course everyone had their personal favorite, mine of course was the Mango-Pineapple Yum! After the smoothie appetizers we had a choice of 3 different cheeses to top our hamburgers! There was a tasty pasta salad, and my favorite watermelon! Dinner was a success and fantastic!
  Following dinner Kristi opened her gifts, she received some awesome things, from a quesadilla maker, a popcorn maker, a panini maker to some super cute towels and a date night kit! Wonderful thoughtful gifts! We took some lovely pictures and had a nice little mingle amongst everyone!

Fire Station

  Last Friday, my friend Sariah invited Xander and I to visit our local fire station and take a tour. We started off with this silly cartoon show, introducing the basics of a fireman's duties. Then took a tour around the station. One of the fire men slid down the pole for us. They showed us the fire truck, and its warning lights. They also showed us the ambulance, and talked about how much time they have on there hands. They sounded a bit bored lol. So go start a fire to keep these men busy! JK! :)
  I took lots of pictures of our cute boys with the fire truck! They were given these cute fire truck hats, that unfortunately Xander wouldn't leave on for even a split second, he loved sucking on it though! After the tour we hung out at the fire truck park, where they have a play ground modeled after a fire truck (hence the name). We had lunch and Xander enjoyed playing with the wood chips and seeing what they tasted like :) Here are a ton a pictures :) enjoy!
