The Letson's in B'ham

July 23 2012

Our family headed out for a 2 week journey to (well all over).   

We have been anticipating how the boys would do,  And well it took Noah a while to go to sleep, he did nap well.  

We arrived mid afternoon in Birmingham AL to stay with my cousin Tori.  The boys really loved seeing their "friends" (cousins).  They had so much fun outside in the fort and on the swings. 

Sweet Olivia

Luke liked the swing.

 

Drew put up the Eno for the girls and our boys to play in.  

Ella Grace wanted in too.

Daddy and Lukers.

On the fort.  

Luke liked the house.  

Here are these sweet  kiddos eating dinner.

All that playing really wore this boy out.  

But this little boy decided he would wake up around 10 and stay awake till 2 a.m.  Yeah Momma and Daddy were tired.  But at some point during the night we just sat there and laughed.  It was either that or cry.  

Zucchini Pie

 July 22 2012

Well we were having veggie night for small group and I was making the dessert so I decided to make Zucchini Squash Pie.  I would offer you a recipe but really all you do is take an apple pie recipe and substitute the apples for sliced zucchini.  

After they were cut, I realized that they would be able to tell they where not actual apples.  

 I did get comments like, "is this dill pickle pie?"

 You really can not tell the difference from the outside, and the taste is just like apple pie.

Joshua's Party

July 21 2012

It was pouring the morning of Noah's friend Joshua's party.  He has really been looking forward to it.  

But we braved the rain anyway.  

Good thing we did.  We had a blast at the Spiderman party. 

Blair, (Birthday Boy) Joshua, and Jordan.

 And the when the candy finally came gushing out, I had to tell Noah it was okay to get some. 

The rain slowed enough for some pool action.

We had lots of fun, Happy 3rd Birthday Joshua. 

Sweet Anna Caroline

July 19 2012

I got to meet a beautiful little girl today. All my friends are having babies and I am finally making the rounds to see them all.  

This is 

Anna Caroline Beasley

 And she already loves me,  she fell asleep in my arms, and talked to me.  

Sarah is such a good little Momma and I just love both her kiddos. 

Introducing Cason Wade Spruill

July 18 2012

Happy BIRTH day to Cason.  Well on July 17th.  We went to welcome a precious little boy.  

Tripp and Traci are our good friends, and we have been praying for a while that they would hurry up and have a baby.  

the NEW Momma and Baby Cason, and me.

 Drew and Tripp have been best friends for a long time, and it is so much fun to see him become a father.  Tripp we know you will lead your family well,  praying for His guidance and wisdom as you bring up your son.  

 Check out these precious baby feet. 

And I absolutely loved seeing Aunt Erin hold her precious nephew.  

 I love meeting new babies, it helps me hold my growing too fast baby a little tighter.  And kinda makes me want more chillens.  

Happy Birthday Madison

July 16 2012

I just realized this today that 10 years ago, Drew and I went to the Oxford Humane Society and picked out a sweet little puppy we now call Madison.  

It is hard to believe that she has been around that long. 

After we moved to Kenya, she and Raleigh stayed with my parents and they love it there.  

Noah sure does love her.

 We let the boys play in the slip and slide again.  It was much hotter this time, and Luke seemed more interested in the water that before.  

 Then we got out one of Noah's birthday presents from the Beasley's.  He loved it.   

Concord Homecoming

I grew up going to homecoming in Chunky MS.  It was fun to let my kids go and run around.
