Namaw's Birthday BBQ

Tuesday was Namaw's birthday! Our family gathered together to celebrate! She was surprised when Tyler and Ann dove to town to have dinner with us.

Caleb took a picture of everyone sitting around the table. He and Tyler were sitting at the bar. I guess they wanted everyone to know that they were there too.

Daddy Steve got to try out the HUGE grill that came with their new house. It produced some yummy chicken!

They boys were busy playing football and basketball.

At one point Brody decided he wanted to ride on the riding mower. He didn't look at the seat first...so he didn't notice how wet the seat was! He came inside asking for a different pair of shorts to wear. I didn't have any extra clothes for him with me. I guess I could've walked the block to our house to get him some, but instead Namaw said he could wear a pair of Daddy Steve's. She was thinking of putting him in a pair of elastic waist shorts and safety pinning them to hold them up. When they came out of Daddy Steve and Namaw's bedroom he looked like this:

I guess he insisted on wearing khaki shorts like Daddy and Daddy Steve were wearing (I found out later he was also wearing Daddy Steve's undies!) Namaw had to safety pin so much together in the back that it looked like he had a tail!

Daddy Steve and Namaw have 3 mulberry trees at their new house. Earlier in the day Namaw and I picked enough mulberries for me to make a fruit cream pie (Lavonne Farney's recipe...yummmm!) It was really good! Brody got to help Namaw blow out her birthday candles and he was so excited about it he was almost shaking while waiting for us to finish singing "Happy Birthday"!

It was a fun evening that ended all to soon (some little people needed to get to bed). We're so blessed to have Namaw in our lives and it was fun to celebrate her birthday together!
