Come on bloggers!

Ok, so I have recently confessed to some people that I read their blogs even though they don't know who I am, so I am wanting to know who all of you out there are that are reading! A couple of people have commented and I think it is fun to know who is reading about our lives! At first, I thought it was a little creepy, but then I realized that I do the same thing...and I am definitely not a creep! So, comment away bloggers!
Anyways, onto things that have been happening in our lives. Josh graduated fire school! That was pretty exciting! His brother, Andrew, and his wife, Lenzie surprised us and came into town for his graduation! Josh was so happy! Here is a pic of Josh after he had just got his diploma.

Since it has been so freakin hot here in Texas, we have been doing a lot of swimming! The girls like it for about 10 minutes and then Riley just wants to sit on the edge and Aydia wants to go throw the dog food into their bowls of water...I let her of course, it keeps her occupied for a LONG time!
Aydia is getting ALL 4 of her molars right now, so she has had random freak outs...I am sure I would too, I am sure it hurts! This is a picture of sweet little Aydia when she is teething...I could not resist!

So, an update on Josh's job situation, he has a chief's interview in 1 hour and this is the last step. This is the "yes or no" interview! Josh has a long time family friend that works for this city who gave a great recommendation for Josh (he is a chief and has been with this city for 20 some years!). After Josh's panel interview, he called and told Josh that he really impressed everyone and that his chances were REALLY high at getting the job! This would be AWESOME!!!! He would start July 1 and get his first paycheck July 15, which is SOOOOOO needed right now! This is a picture we took of him all dressed up for his interview! He looks so cute!

So, I have been decorating the girls room where we are moving and am doing 4 pictures on one wall, one of me as a baby, Josh as a baby, Aydia and Riley. These are the pictures I have picked out for the girls, I think they are really cute and actually look a lot alike in them. They are both of when they were 9 months old.


These last 2 pics are just cute ones! Riley is making her "silly face" and Aydia is just smiling, cute as ever!



Ok, lastly, I really need you blogger's advice on this one. I am looking for a new double stroller. The one I have now, the Graco duoglider, I absolutely cannot stand. It worked good for about a year and then just decided it hated me. I try to not have to use it because it is so frustrating to me. I go through the stores with my teeth gritted saying, "I hate this stroller!" People look at me like I am crazy because I get so mad about a stroller! It is pretty funny! Anyways, if you know of a good one, please let me know...I need it!

Go Josh! I hope his interview goes well and he gets the job. What dept. was it for? I remember when I was dating my husband and he was waiting to hear ifhe was hired & I will never forget that phone call of good news as long as I live. I think the only one that tops it was when he called and told me he was finished first on the captains test last year. I cried and screamed and jumped all over the place. ;) Those boys work hard.

I hope the interview goes well and Josh gets the job!!!
