Nanna's Birthday

The day after our Independence Day celebrations, we traveled up to Burley for some more celebrations.  It was Nanna's 50th birthday.  We drove up and played the entire weekend and celebrated a big birthday.

Beckham's cousins and aunts and uncles were there, and he was oh-so happy to play with them.  We have missed them!  He loved to have little ones to play with.  I think it is fun to watch him try to interact with other children.  He just wants so much to be like the big kids; walking and talking.  He sure loves his cousins.

It was too nice of a day on Saturday to be inside.  We pulled out the swimming pool and spend the afternoon playing in the sun.  Beckham was a huge fan of the pool and playing with the people in it.

We even pulled out the volleyball net and played a few games.  Goodness!  I need to practice!  It was an excellent way to spend a summer afternoon.

Beckham kept a close eye on everyone from his stroller.  He was so happy to be outside.  If I would have let him, I'm sure he could have spent all day in that stroller simply because he was outside.

Later that evening, Jason and his dad made a delicious dutch oven meal for us.  It was wonderful.  We love to cook out in the summertime.

We didn't forget the cake.  It was ice cream cake.  Yum.  And, yes.  There were 50 candles on it.  With the help of Kayson, Nanna managed to get the candles all blown out.  I love the look on his face in this picture.  This is serious business, you know.

 And on Sunday, we spent a nice day with our family after church.

 Thanks for posing so well for me, Kayson!  What a fun cousin Beckham has!

Happy Birthday!
