Asa's Barnyard BBQ

I can't believe that my baby boy is ONE!! It seems like just yesterday that he was born! Anyway, we had a wonderful 1st birthday party on Saturday. We invited all of our family, and many of them were able to make it! The weather was perfect. We ate boiled peanuts, BBQ, cake, and ice cream while all 0f the kids played on our new playset (given by Granddad and Nonna to all 3 for birthday & Christmas this year). It was a lot of fun. Check out some of the pictures.

Mommy, Daddy, and the Birthday Boy

Our little farmer in front of the barn that I painted as a decoration.

Every boy looks macho on a John Deere! Well, except for boys in red gingham with horsie appliques on the front. They just look downright cute!! Sorry, buddy.

Getting a decent pic of the 3 of them is rare!

People say Asa looks like his Daddy's side of the family. Those big eyes, dark hair, and olive skin make him a "Scott baby."

This was the ADORABLE barn cake that my friend, Lisa Mayfield, made - please notice how terrible it looks on the front (the green part just below the fence). It wasn't always that way. The reason for that would be, of course, Brynn. She got into his cake and decided to "rake" the "front yard" with her fingers. I was furious!! I tried to fix it as best I could, but oh well...


Asa enjoyed his own cake and ate EVERY bit of it (with a little help from his sisters).

This galvanized tub kept him still while we opened presents.
