Fire Family: Birthday Pictures

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.

Birthday Pictures

Carson did a lot of celebrating this year! He started out going to school and I brought treats to his class in the afternoon. That evening, we went to Grandpa and Grandma Van Cleve's house for dinner, dessert and presents. Saturday was his party day. He invited friends and family to Berthusen Park. We had cake, "worms in dirt" (made with pudding, cookie crumbs and gummy worms, by my mom), juice, coffee, hot chocolate and lots of fun! Then on Sunday my Grandma(aka Great Gram to the kids) made a cake and Carson got to blow out more candles and have more cake and ice cream. It was a big weekend!

Here are some pictures
