Ri and ANOTHER Fire Truck

It's a bit cliche, but Ri loves fire trucks and ambulances (which he calls Fighter Trucks and Autobuns). Whenever we pass an accident, Ri has the greatest excitement freak-out of all time - other peoples' pain and misery is Ri's happiest moment of the day.

Anyway, we visited Shane at work about 2 Sundays ago after church. Naturally, Ri wanted to go next door to the Fire Station.

And we can't go to the Fire Station with a policeman and not see the Police Station!

As Ri's luck would have it, a few days later we went to grab some breakfast and who else should be there??? The fire department!! Woo hoo!

Happy Birthday LaLa!

I forgot to bring my camera to the party, so I took all the pics on my iPhone. But for some reason, it wasn't focussing. I apologize for the slightly blurry pictures.

The dining room as Mom decorated it...

But Rea (who is "the boss of decorations") thought it needed a little something. 

Aunt Jack & Buddy enjoy some alone time

Buddy was attached to Jack for most of her trip.

The dining room after Rea was finished. 

LaLa didn't know Jack was going to be here for the party.

It was her best birthday surprise.

Poor Buddy... he can't have cake. 

So we gave him a plate of sprinkles instead. 

He's a very good sharer.

Oh Dad.

Well, happy birthday LaLa! We love you!
