There's a new Sooners Fan in town

Ruth's Birthday!

Apparently it is very difficult to blog with 3 children! Here is an update of the events of July 9th, 2010...


About to go in to surgery. Bryce calls this my lunch lady picture.


Ruth makes her appearance and weighs almost exactly what Gemma weighed.

And Dr. Whiddon.

So thankful for a smooth delivery and healthy baby. What a wonderful day!

Ruth Adelle

She's here! 6 lbs, 10 oz and 18 in long. So thankful for a smooth c-section and beautiful healthy baby. We are busy adjusting and falling in love.

Goodbye Annie

This week we said goodbye to Annie, my Camry. I purchased her after I got my first "real" job out of college. I had her almost 10 years! She had over 160,000 miles on her. She was very faithful to our family. As the arrival of Hutson Baby #3 has drawn near, we have been praying about a new vehicle to comfortably fit us all. This past weekend we finally made a decision and welcomed Bessie into our family...


She is also a Toyota. Zane had a name for her by the time we got her home. We are grateful and looking forward to the many new memories that will be made in our new-to-us Sienna.

Happy July!

This spring has not been one of my favorites, in my large, easily over-heated state. There are a few things that have managed to keep me smiling nonetheless...

My newly planted balloon flowers in the front yard. So lovely.

Some SWEET treats...

Apples baked on the Grill ~

6 Granny Smith apples cored

1/4 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. coconut

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix the above 3 ingredients and fill the center of the apples. I also added a few chopped pecans. Then wrap the apples in foil and place on the grill for about 20 minutes. Delish!

Watermelon Cooler ~

4 c. watermelon seeded

2 tsps honey

2 sprigs of mint leaves

Ice

Blend all until smooth. So refreshing!

And of course my Adorable Family, which includes my amazing hubby. He's taking the picture here.
