Fair and Fire station

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the fair on Valentine's Day evening. We had such a blast! My Aunt Joyce came with us and we met Josh's parents and sister and brother in law there. The place was practically deserted! At least compared to how busy the fair usually is. It was such a beautiful evening. Fletcher wanted to ride everything Colton and Gracie did so we kept having to beg them to ride the "baby rides". Next year he'll be able to keep up perfectly!




Happy Fletch w/ Aunt Katie and Uncle Austin



Thursday we went on a field trip to the brand new fire station in Stuart. It's a fire/police station in one so we got to tour the whole place! Colton's favorite parts were going into the garage where the police motorcycles are kept and also peeking in to the police armory where they kept all the guns and ammo. I must admit this was pretty neat! We even got to (very quietly) go to the dispatch room where the dispatchers were busy answering the 911 calls. After touring the police station side, we went to the fire station where we learned all about fire safety and got to sit in their brand new fire truck. While Fletch was sitting in the back seat of the truck, he had a major melt down when I wouldn't let him climb up front to "drive". This was a little embarrassing to say the least as I had to drag my screaming child out of the fire truck. Life with a toddler!


Fletcher's officially 17 months!


Stickers are fun!!!
Fletch has a new blankie!
I just made this for him and he loves it! It's so soft, silky and snuggly. He just recently gave up the binky on his own which I honestly was dreading weaning him from since he was so attached to it. In some ways though it was nice because he used it as his comfort object. Now, I find him wanting to nurse more often and I thought we were nearing the end of it. So I thought maybe a handmade blanky from mama may help to become an additional source of comfort for him. We'll see : )
