Fire Academy

Here are a few pictures from today's Fire Academy Live Fire. 

Sy and I went and watched Brad- it was a very long and hot day but Sy did pretty good. He started to get mad toward the end- but I don't blame him- I was getting crabby and tired too! All the firemen were especially nice to me because of how large and pregnant I am and having to chase Sy around- so they brought me water and a nice chair to sit in, and they always made sure I had everything I needed. It was pretty fun getting to watch Brad, rather than just listen to him tell me stories of what goes on there, and I got to finally put faces to all the names he mentions. Today was the first time they actually got to go into a "Live Fire" and practice putting it out- so it was really interesting and Sy had fun getting to look at all the fire trucks !

Going into the fire!

My Little American Idol

Josiah is quite the singer. Anyway who spends any time around him will most likely hear his rendition of the ABC's or Twinkle Twinkle. I also have been known to sing and dance around the house and listen to quite a bit of 80's music- so Josiah has been exposed to music since before he was even born! I'm also a big American Idol fan- and like every other year, has watched it all season and tonight was the big finale. Sy has started picking up things during the show and making them into his microphone- and he sings right along with the people on t.v. Tonight was no different- but he also threw in some sweet dance moves!

Monday Night Cook-Outs!

Monday nights have become one of my favorite nights of the week. Brad and Eric decided a few weeks back that Mondays were their cooking night- they even try to think of new/healthy/delicious things to make. It's pretty fun to watch! And big plus- I don't have to cook!! Tonight was chicken tacos with beans and rice- they wanted to try and do "authentic" Mexican- and I must say- it was quite tasty!

Rainforest Cafe

Last night we went over to the Arizona Mills Mall and ate at the Rainforest Cafe. I'm not super crazy about this place- but it is the one place where I don't care if Sy is noisy and there is so much going on that it keeps him busy looking around! It was so fun and actually enjoyable- we haven't had an enjoyable meal out since Sy could move- so this was nice! Then we walked around- I got some coffee (no surprise there) and Sy also got to ride some of those kids $.25 rides. All in all- a pretty fun Friday night!

Sy's First Haircut!

Well Sy's hair FINALLY grew long enough to actually need a haircut! So my mom and I took him to this cute kids place- hoping all the distractions would help keep his mind off of what was actually going on! He wouldn't sit in the cool car chair, he had to sit with me- I thought we were going to to have to head home when she tried to put the cape on- but we made it through and now he's looking good!
