BEVERLY HILLS FIREFIGHTER

On January 3rd Josh got hired by Beverly Hills Fire Department. We are so excited for him to work at this Department. It is the best department, they take such great care of there firefighters! For the last 3 weeks Josh has been in training with four other guys that they hired. Yesterday January 21st was his graduation, it was so exciting.

Josh and I next to his turn outs

Me pinning on Josh's Badge..so Proud of him!

Josh with Oliver and Elle in front of an old Fire Truck.

All of us!

I am so proud of Josh and all of his hard work. This is such a HUGE blessing for us. Josh has worked so hard and sacrificed a lot to be a Fireman. Originally he tested with 400 people and he was ranked #3 over all. Yesterday at his graduation one of the Captains that was in his interview panel, told us that Josh was the last interview of the week, he said that they were done, they wanted to go home and then Josh walked in a Dazzled them. He is the Captain on C shift which Josh will be on and he said that he is looking forward to having Josh on his shift. He has made us so proud! We are so grateful for this amazing opportunity he has been given.

Love you so much Babe!

All of us on the way to the park

We had a great Christmas Eve at Josh's parents house. Before dinner we went down to the park to let the kids play, then we had a nice Jewish dinner. Then the kids did a little role playing of the Nativity story.

Gingerbread house and Lights

All of us with our gingerbread house. Oliver helped and Elle ate all of the candy.

Elle loving the Lights!
Oliver and Elle

There is this guy who has light covering every inch of his house outside and the inside is completely decorated. So we took the kids and they loved it. He has music and the light go with the songs, it was pretty cool. After the light/music show he turns on a snow machine and Ollie loved it.

Knott's Berry Farm

Me and Josh

We went to Knott's Berry Farm for Cops and Firefighters appreciation week and had so much fun. Not too many rides for the little ones but fun ones for the adults. It was a fun day with the whole family!

Our Christmas Tree

Oliver and Elle after we decorated the tree.

Elle is being silly...as usual.

Checkin' out the ornaments trying to decide which one to break first :)

Oliver helping hang his ornaments.

Oliver working and Elle working to destroy what Oliver has done!

Decorating the tree was pretty interesting this year. Oliver loved hanging the ornaments and Elle loved trying to break them and take as many off the tree as she could. So need less to say we had to fix a few ornaments and the bottom of our tree was bare :)

November flew by so Fast. We had a great Thanksgiving with my side of the Family.

And then had another great Thanksgiving the next day with Josh's side. And after dinner we

went and played Marshmallow shooter and the Boys loved it...kinda gross but Fun!

Elle's 1st Birthday

Elle turned 1 on October 9th and we celebrated with a Birthday party and Cake!

Elle with her party hat on (half way) in her new rocking chair from Grammy and Papa.

I don't think she smiled in any of the pictures.

Well I guess this is the only picture she was smiled for.

She loves Food, especially sweets!

Me and The Birthday Girl, I can't believe she is getting so big!

Dad and The Birthday Girl!

The Dessert Table

Elle had a great Birthday, I think it was kinda overwhelming for her but she still had fun.

She is such a fun little girl, full of energy and spunk. She loves to tease Oliver and get a reaction.

She LOVES food, she will eat almost anything. She loves bracelets, purses and anything she can wear. She says Mama, Dada and then screams or grunts for everything else she wants or she will sign more, food and thank you. She loves to ride on our bike with the ibert and loves to be outside. We love you so much and are so glad that you are our little girl.

Happy Birthday!

September 2010

Our Carpenteria Beach trip.

We only had a few days of sun but had a lot of fun!

Us playing in the sand.

Elle loved the sand and Oliver hated the cold water.

Oliver giving me a weird smile and creepy eyes.

His favorite part of the trip riding his scooter and skateboard

with all of his cousins!

Another favorite was his bed in the trailer.

Ollie and Josh in the HUGE hole daddy dug for him to play in!

Sisters!

We had a great trip. This was our first trip with our old little new trailer, and it was so nice to have it! Oliver loved his bunk bed and Elle loved having somewhere to crawl around since she hadn't started to walk yet. Can't wait until our next trip in July!
