Doing FUN things!

Hi! this post is a collection of some really fun things we have been doing lately. Its a little scattered due to our transition from SLC to Falls Church, VA - Enjoy the pictures!


At the last Home game of the summer for the BEES! Henry LOVED Bumble, and for the parts of the game that Henry was just a little too wiggly to sit in our sweets, we followed Bumble around. I love the picture of Henry with his hand on his heart. His eyes are so big and round and beautiful!
Last picnic with Aunt Jessica, and Uncle Cory. Grandma and Grandpa Snow were there too. 



We took a break from our 4 day cross country drive to watch the Royals VS Yankees game. Henry LOVED it! He danced and cheered the night away! We saw Jeter play! 



We stopped to see the St. Louis Arch. It was amazing! We didnt take the opportunity to go up...mostly because I didnt dare! 
Henry asleep in a car FULL of stuff! The poor boy was surrounded! But he has become VERY attached to both his binky, and his sunglasses. Gotta love my sweet boy. 

Playing at a SUPER fun water park in Alexandria!

LAGOON!

Well, we made it to lagoon. With a little tugging from my family we bought Henry and I a pass (Daddy had to work) and spent the day with Grandma Julie, Aunt Jenny, Aunt Jamee, Aunt Carly, Aunt Livi (who just got home from Hawaii - Just in time!), Uncle Christian, and all the kids! We had so much fun! With the exception of the rides that someone couldn't ride with Henry on...He had SO much fun too! Here are some of our fun moments!
Grandma Jules, Sarah, Aunty Jenna
Samee, Aunty Livie

Favorite Pic of the day. Henry waiting in line for the Merry-Go-Round
Alright, Maybe another favorite. Loves his horsey!
Riding Puff the Magic Dragon with Aunty Car - He was so excited for this one, and then he looked so nervous and scared the WHOLE ride!
Wish we could have done this one a few more times. He LOVED riding the bummer cars with Sarah
Riley - Get em Ry! Get em!
Payt and Finn
Garrett, Henry, and Grandma Jules

Mountain Fun and Visiting Draper

We spent an afternoon in the mountain picnic-ing with Grandma and Grandpa Snow. It was so peaceful up there. I wish we had more time to spend in the mountains this summer. Of COURSE Daddy took some really cool pictures of Henry. 





This week we also went with Grandpa Snow to visit Draper and see some of the first homes in the area as well as where the original ward house used to be, which is now the Dome Gazebo, and a park with some memorials. It was very pretty and very peaceful.

Color Me Mine

We spent an afternoon with Aunt Jessica and Henry's cousin Kaitlyn in Park City shopping at the outlets, and painting at Color Me Mine. We had a lot of fun! Aunt Jessica painted an amazing vase, Kaitlyn did a really fun cupcake shaped jewelry holder, I painted salt and peppa shakers and Henry painted his little tile. We brought them all home and Daddy made Henry the blue frame that his tile is matted onto. It was so much fun!

2 YEARS OLD

My sweet baby boy turned 2 today. 2! I am happy to say we had a very memorable day, and I just want to throw in here quickly how incredibly blessed I feel. He is an amazing, spirited little boy, and I am grateful every day that I am his mommy.
Just some of his recents? He has become pretty set in his current diet, which usually consists of milk and a gogurt for breakfast, along with a vitamin. A kiddo turns 2 and they get vitamins and the big kid toothpaste! Holy moly, that's a lot for a mom! Im just teasing. He is just so big almost over night it seems. Anyway back to his stingy little diet? Lunch he prefers mac-n-cheese with a veggie puree of course for my own satisfaction that he's gettin a veggie, chicken nuggets, a peanut butter sandwich, a grilled cheese sandwich...the toddler basics, and not much more variety comes with dinner. He does love cheese sticks, and granola bars. He is a great milk and water drinker, but I'm always looking for great ideas if you mommies or daddies know any. He is Happy! He loves bugs, especially potato bugs! He loves ALL sports, and got an awesome mitt and baseball and a football for his birthday. He is a little finicky about wearing shoes these days, and loves to read. I love my little guy so much.

Thank you for 2 wonderful years sweet boy. I hope you know one day just how much your daddy and I love you.

Enjoy the MANY pictures.
Henry's 1st gift! He opened a card from Aunty Kate, and was excited to find a 2 dollar bill on his 2nd birthday! Thanks Kate!
That morning we ran errands with Grandma Julie who gave him some birthday money and he FINALLY got his mater truck!! I am sure you will all get a chance to see it.
Opening presents with Grandma Snow. She gave him T--Bone to go home with his big clifford, a clifford book, and an awesome Cars t-shirt
Henry's favorite show has become Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and daddy got Henry a 'find it' Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Book. Thanks Daddy!
Henry's Caterpillar Pinata
IM THE BIRTHDAY BOY!
Grandma Julie and Grandpa Keith gave him Mater, this doodle pad, and an adorable little jacket!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
Some of the MANY people that love and care for Henry. Thank you everyone for coming to his party. You cant see all the babies at the playground and moms in the background, but we all felt so loved. Thank you for being such a wonderful family to be apart of!
LOVIN the pinata!
Grandpa Keith was our Pinata holder. Brave man. Thanks Grandpa Keith!
