Fun in Birmingham

We had a great time in Birmingham! Noah got to meet friends and family which was wonderful. Also we visited a pumpkin patch and a scarecrow trail. We learned that Noah travels pretty well, barring no standstill traffic or any other stopping. (Yea!) We started out the week meeting Daddy's extended family. We took tons of pictures of all the cousins, but it is impossible to get everyone looking in the same direction...unless you start a Veggie Tales DVD (see below). We may have started it to entertain a 2 year old, but everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for hosting Aunt Dana!
Next the boys and I went to stay with Mommy's family while Daddy went to Granddaddy's lot to work on his new house. The pumpkin patch was so much fun, it will get it's own posting with pictures. Noah and Joshua got to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa, and Granny (My Grandma). They also got to go to the park while Mommy and Celeste took a short shopping trip.  We visited Aunt Stoppie and her broken ankle at work and Joshua sat in her lap while Celeste pushed them in a wheelchair.  Then at the end of the week we watched the Alabama - Tennessee football game at Aunts Celeste and Elaine house.

We took an afternoon trip out to Granddaddy's lot to see all the progress and meet more relatives.  Afterwards we went back to Grandaddy's house to eat dinner and meet his step-cousin Miller who is a couple months older than Noah. Here is Granddaddy with arm arm (and leg) load of grandsons.
Next we went to Huntsville to see Grandottie and Jerry Pop. We all went to the botanical gardens in Huntsville for a picnic and to see a scare crow trail. Most of us had a great time. I say most of us because early on we came to a tree house exhibit that had a slide. I was at the bottom catching Joshua and on the last trip down the slide he went air-born and flew into my front teeth. Joshua had a knot at his hairline and my top four teeth were numb for a couple hours. When the feeling did come back my whole face hurt. It was still a good trip.  I'm glad we stayed because we took a ton of great pictures and enjoyed the company and pretty location.

Yep, I need to get a CD of your photos because they seem to be better than ours! We surely did enjoy your visit.
