Fire Family: Mother's Day

Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting
My children and my wife.

Mother's Day

I had a busy but wonderful Mother's Day! My husband let me sleep in and then made me breakfast. We went to a birthday party for my nephew and also gave my mom her gift there. I forgot to take pictures there. It was a very cute Elmo party. From there I dropped off Roy and the kids for their naps and I went to my Grandma's to give her a gift and stayed to play marbles. I then went home to pick up the kids and Roy and go to Roy's parents house. We gave his mom a very nice journal with a celtic design on it as you see pictured and some candles b/c she loves candles! We stayed there for dinner and Carson was trying to learn to rollerblade with the help of his uncle Teddy. We had a great time!
