Aunt Cindy's 50th Birthday

My mom's sister, Cindy, just celebrated he 50th birthday! We had her a little party on Sunday afternoon. We ate some delicious steaks, and had little cakies from the Flour Shop, which is my favorite! Happy Birthday Cindy...we love you!Drew being goofytwins

the dogs were even fesitve...top is Booker and bottom is Izzi

Just my size!

I know how alot of people feel about Krystals...but I love me some mini cheeseburgers! We do not eat them often, but over the weekend we had some for dinner one night. Ford is very interested in the food Gabe and I eat, so he naturally wanted a bite....infact, he wanted the whole burger. And he loved it, and they are the perfect size for little hands! First bite...

now your turn mommy!

Water Party

On Wednesday, Laura and Ella Tate Alsup had some children for church over for a water and splash party. We all had such a wonderful time. We had fun in the sun and then had a delicious lunch that everyone had provided. It was Ford's first time in the baby pool. He love it, and he could have spent the whole day in it and become a little prune. He was so tired he crashed during lunch in the midst of all the noise. It was a wonderful day though, and thank you to Laura and Ella Tate for being such great hostesses!Giving Ella Tate a big kiss

10 months!

Another month passes...Ford is getting so smart. I feel like everyday is a new thing. He is constantly making Gabe and me laugh. I had a hard time taking pics of him because he wouldn't sit still. Alot of the pictures are blurry...but here are the ones that made the final cut! We love you little bubba!

A few missing posts

There have been a few adventures lately that I have not blogged about...so this will be a catch-up post. First, a couple weeks ago, Ford and I went to the library with Courtney, Nolen, and Grady for story time. We had planned to go to the zoo, but when we pulled up there were almost 10 buses unloading. Unfortunately we skipped the zoo and headed for story time! It was so much fun and we went to chick-fil-a afterward where the boys gobbled up some chicken!

The next set of pics are from my parents house. They bought Ford this little plastic chair to sit in, and he loves it. One of his new things is to crawl around with things in his mouth. He will do this with food, toys, remotes, etc. It's pretty funny to watch.

We also have just celebrated Laura Alsup's birthday. We went and had pedicures for her treat! It was so relaxing. We ate at Bronte afterward, and went to see baby Reese too! We sure missed having Courtney and Katherine with us though!
