Meet Rusty

Meet Rusty...  the newest addition to the Wasson farm!  Everything here has to have a name, you know. :)

Josiah started off driving cautious and slow - like he does everything.  He puttered around the farm like an old man, but we knew it wouldn't last.  Within a day he was driving Rusty at full speed.  The boys buzz by my office windows so fast that I can barely wave before they are gone! :)  Needless to say, they are having a BLAST! 



Shepard's Birthday 2011

Little brother says that Shep's birthday is looooong...  it keeps going.  I guess that's the best kind of birthday!

Grandma and Grandpa came for a cookout and hayride one evening...

Shepard's actual birthday was all about the food!  He'd been planning his meals for weeks!

For breakfast, Sara Lee Butter Struesel Coffee Cake (yum)

For lunch, China Jade

For supper, Red Lobster (yes, he loves shrimp)

And somewhere in between all the eating he opened gifts and we sang Happy Birthday...

some sweet brotherly love... 

Happy 7th Shep!



Shepard's Birthday Party

Shepard and Catherine shared a birthday party here at our house this weekend...  it was so much fun!

We ate chili and had a bonfire and a hayride.  This was the first time our kids had ever been on a hayride and they really loved it.  Shepard told me today that he loved his party so much that he wants to do the exact same thing next year! :)  Here are the photo highlights...

He had a camo cookie cake that the boys decorated with their toy soldiers...  really awesome! 

S'mores are messy! 

The birthday kids!

Soccer Fall 2011

Josiah and Shepard are playing Upwards Soccer with First Baptist Van Buren and they are having a lot of fun.  Here are some pictures from the games last Saturday.

It's really all about the snacks! :)

And John is the assistant coach on Josiah's team.

Grandma and Grandpa came to watch!



Tennis Fall 2011

The boys love tennis lessons every Friday morning in the fall.  I do, too!  I love visiting with the other moms while the boys play.

Will isn't old enough for tennis lessons yet, so he plays with some of the other young kids.  Here he is climbing... he's always looking for something active and daring to do!
