It's been so long

Our computer died.
We got a new one finally.

I have so much to update on, but I will try a quick short and sweet post just to keep you up to date on the Littletons.

We removed wall paper from our kitchen. It's still not done, but we did paint the living room.

Andrew worked the 4th of July, but we went up to Dell and watched fireworks in the distance.

My son turned 4 years old Monday the 24th!! He had such great fun with his great grandparents.

AND, I'm still pregnant.









































I have a 4 year old!! I can and can't believe it.

He got a phone call from his grani and then his papa. He talked to both of them!
He also got a package from Grani. It was some cookies.

Then his Tulsa Great Grandparents came to town with Grandmama. He got lots of presents and a spiderman cake. We went out for dinner and then went to see the movie, "Cars".

Tuesday we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a birthday lunch with mommy, daddy, aunt Robin and Aunt Norma. (Boomer was there too)

Both kids had lots of fun. Haven has also gotten gifts the last few days. She keeps wishing Gibson "Happy Birthday!"

Well, this is becoming not so "short and sweet"

Here are some more pics.

pool, VBS, new car and bonus photos

Quick snack before swim time.
Haven can swim by herself with her floaties, but she would rather hold on to mommy or daddy. Her Grandma and Grandpa just got her a little boat to float in. She likes that alot.
When Gibson swims, he says he is swimming like a Turtle! I'm the big turtle and he is the little turtle.
This is one of Haven's VBS teachers. Her favorite part of VBS was painting. I also asked her what Bible story she heard. She said the red one. (The bible they read out of was red) :)















Here is Gibson walking with his class. (I was sneaking around taking pictures of him while I was on break from my class)




He enjoyed playing outside.











Here are some of Gibson's teachers. He took this picture himself. (He wouldn't sit with them for a picture)
















Here is our new car.
Yes, it's bigger and so much nicer, BUT incase you are wondering, Our neighbors have one too. (they are in their 70's) Also, Andrew grandparents have one. (same color and everything!) We bought it from Andrew's great Aunt. She gave us a really good deal and now I don't have to worry about driving with 3 children. they will have plenty of room and stay alot cooler.



















And just for fun, some bonus pictures. Andrew and I have a queen size bed. I want you to notice that I am NOT in the picture b/c I am the one taking it. However........ I WAS in that bed just moments earlier. And in case you forgot............ I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT!! I think we need a bigger bed.






And here I am with my little girl. We are at a pool party for our small group. Not only did the kids swim with their daddy, but we got to look at cows and chickens.







Coming soon...... Gibson and Haven photography.

Guess who??

Who are my babies huddled around?????????




BABY HANNAH!!!!!


Look at my little girl. She is going to be such a good helper for the new baby.














Gibson on the other hand, may not have the natural gift like Haven to take care of babies.
(He almost dropped Hannah on the concrete during this photo shoot)














We took these pictures outside of Aunt Christy's work. She works at the library at the seminary. The campus is so pretty.



And, one more baby we saw was baby Issac. He lives in St. Louis with Uncle Randall and Aunt Emily. We stayed at there house to break up our trip home. My kids had fun with baby Issac and his toys. Issac just turned one recently.










Up in coming..... VBS and our new car!!

Gibson's picture of Aunt Annaliese

Gibson is getting to be a pretty good photographer. Here is one he took of Annaliese.













After my visit in Memphis, I drove to Nashville. Annaliese came down to Joelton to meet me. She hung out with me that afternoon and night. For dinner, we packed up the kids and Grani and Papa and went to Olive Garden to meet Melissa Greene. She was my maid of honor in my wedding. She is a school teacher.




After dinner, Annaliese and I hung out with Melanie Simpson until Andrew's flight landed. Melanie is my closest friend from college. She is my dancing bud and I miss her very much. She danced in my wedding which is one of my most special memories from my wedding. If I hadn't moved to OK, she and I were going to open up a dance studio.







This is Bridget Philips. She is one of my closest friends from Jr. High through High School. (She is mentioned on my adoption post b/c of her adopted brother Keenan) Her daughters are close in age just like my two kids. We had a good visit. I love seeing her. She and her family moved back to TN the same month Andrew and I moved to OKLAHOMA!!! That was real annoying.









Rachel Wilson brought her kiddos to Papa and Grani's house for some more visiting. Rachel and I met and grew close through the Mother's Day Out program at Joelton First Baptist. She and I had fun teaching MDO and I miss getting to see her every week.









Haven, Katie, Alie, Wes, and Gibson.

CHEESE!







Up next........ our visit with baby HANNAH!

Our trip to see Hannah started in MEMPHIS

Here are the kids in their travel attire. Everyone needs sun glasses and a pirate hat to travel.






Aunt DiDi's house was so much fun! She has cool hats and kitty cats.


The kids left for Nashville with thier Papa and Grani, so Aunt Didi, Robin and I went out for Sushi!!

I enjoyed 2 full days with out my kids. I missed them, but I also got to see some old friends.


This is Katrina and her 3 month old Stella. I haven't seen Katrina since highschool. She and her husband moved to back to Memphis recently b/c of the hurricane.





My camera was full, but I also got to see my friend Natalie Hayes, who I hadn't seen since my freshman year of college. She and her husband will be missionaries to Cambodia next year.









This is my friend Karen. She and I went to highschool together. The last time she saw me I was pregnant with Gibson. She is getting married in July.















I got to go see my friend Dawn. (Dawn is mentioned in my adoption post) She had pitures of her wedding and her classes she has taught since graduating. I had fun visiting with her.

And here is Amy. Amy and I have been budies for a long long time. She and her husband Clint took me out to eat. She also tried to give me an Ultra sound at the Vet where she works. Dr. Cooper (amy) and I were not successful in seeing much of the baby, but it was fun trying.

We went to church together on Sunday. I haven't been back to my old church in a long time. Bellevue Baptist has a new pastor and I like him alot.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to visit with these girls. I'm not sure when I will get to see them all again.

MORE PICTURES OF OUR TRIP TO SEE HANNAH COMING SOON!!!!!!!

Dance recital

My first dance recital ALL by myself was 2 Fridays ago. Usually I have Lyndel or someone else to organize and most of all TALK, but it was all me. As you can see I had "help" from my little ones. They wanted to stand up in front with me as I welcomed everyone.
I had to stand in the back and do the dances, but my children stayed up front to watch. (I feel kinda bad for any of the parents whose pictures have my kids heads in them) Oh well!










Here I am with one of my dancers. My older girls had to dress as children from another country. Isn't she cute with her white face and chop sticks?









The recital was a success. I'm glad it's over though. Right now I have two other ladies teaching summer dance for me. I hope to start back teaching mid September after the baby gets here.



Stay tuned for more pictures from May.........anniversary........mother's day.......AND our trip to Tennessee and Kentucky.
