This is how many pieces of bread it takes to make a PB&J

According to Henry....

What do you want to be when you grow up?

While watching Despicable Me

Daddy: Henry, do you want to fly a rocket when you get bigger and fly to the moon.
Henry: No, I dont want to touch the very big moon.
Daddy: You dont want to fly in the rocketship? And fly to the moon and touch it??
Henry: No
Daddy: What do you want to do?
Henry: Play football. I want to be a football player. With quarters.
Daddy: snicker
Mommy: snicker
Daddy: You want to be a quarterback?
Henry: Yes, I want to be a football player, quarterback.

Well Alright then. Im going to have to learn the game of Football better I guess

Gravelly Park - Brrr.....

Today Jakey and Kaley were out of school for MLK day. Kaley spent the day with a friend and Jakey, Henry, and I went to Gravelly Park to watch the airplanes. We have been before but I am never less amused with each visit. It is so much fun to watch the airplanes come in. Next we'll take a picnic, and go on a slightly warmer day. Although Henry has been before and really enjoyed it, He was very frightened today. He finally warmed up to the airplanes when we got back in the car to watch for a few more minutes. It was just too cold to stay outside too long. ENJOY

Jakey getting some really great pictures

The park has some great views of the Airforce Monument AND...

Everyday Funnies

Henry and Daddy worked on tightening the kitchen faucet together. It was rather sweet. Can you see both sets of tools? Thank you Heidi, and Paige for the tools! Henry LOVES them!

Why, might I put just a plain ol' picture of Henry's bed on his blog, you might ask. Well, because each night as we all gather in Henry's bedroom for a prayer goodnight we go through a rather long process. Each and every one of his cars must be put upside down as they are praying with us, and then Henry gives us all....yes, ALL, each car, a hug and kiss before bed. Then they go under his pillow where he sleeps on them all night long. It is quite the goodnight process.

Henry and Cute Paige Huggin' it out. 

Daddy and Henry

So, today Daddy got dressed and ready for church while mommy was dressing Henry. When both of them walked out of their separate rooms, all dressed daddy quickly realized that the two boys were wearing nearly the identical outfit. So, to settle the debate once and for all, daddy snapped a couple of quick pictures to determine if Henry really does look like daddy. All other things being equal, i.e. the shirt and tie, do they look alike? 

Stuff Henry Looks at when he is Supposed to be Asleep

So, as you may have seen, Henry got a fun camera for Christmas that allows him to take real pictures. Although most of his pictures are fuzzy blurs, as he is still trying to figure out how to hold still while taking a picture, every so often he is able to hold still just long enough for his pictures to be recognizable. I thought I would post a few of his pictures from one of his most recent photo shoots. I believe he titled this series, "Stuff I look at when I am Supposed to be Asleep." Based upon the subjects in the photos and the angles, we believe he took all of these pictures while laying down in his bed, when we thought he was supposed to be asleep, although the true genius of his photographic techniques may never be understood as he may have taken them in some other, more interesting way. For those interested, prints are available at a discounted price. Act now, when Henry becomes the next Ansel Adams these photos may be worth thousands! Just kidding. Enjoy.

Daddy's New Lens

Thanks to some of his generous benefactors Daddy was able to purchase a new lens for his camera. Which means, Henry had to pose for some pictures. Today was a rather low key shoot, though, as Henry would only pose for shots in between eating a peanut butter sandwich. It's still fun to see how fast he is growing and to watch his big personality coming out of his little body!

Only mildly amused with taking pictures

The best part of a peanut butter sandwich is the sticky jelly leftover on your fingers!
