Alright already!

More to ease the nagging of my own self, here is a blog post! :) We have been busy. Enjoy the events and pictures!

Im sure you are tired of hearing about Henry's new bikes, but the kid is a pro! He LOVES riding his bikes, and spends a great deal of time on them. He asked last week if we could PLEASE take his training wheels off. Sheesh. Maybe in the spring kiddo. Maybe in the spring....

Okay, I just had to throw this picture in. Isnt is silly? Henry sometimes INSISTS on wearing his jammie shorts that high. GRANDPA!

We spent a morning up at Silver Lake while Aunt Jenny was in town. I hadn't enjoyed this amazing scenery in several years, and I was happy to go along for the ride! We saw this magnificent moose. Actually there were 2! This was incredible.

Just some of the gang while Aunt Jenny was in town. Always gotta go for a Brick Oven outing while she's here!

Aunty Natty and Uncle Sean got HITCHED! The day was incredible, and we are so happy for them. They both deserve a wonderful, happy life together! Here are a few snap shots. 

Here are our 4 babies born between August and December in just one short year!
Addie, Henry, Finn, Ty - CUTE huh

Henry's lips match his shorts. Gotta love those blue lollipops. 

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Here's some more update in words about our little dude!
Things you might not know about Henry:

1. Henry LOVES cars. Talks about them constantly. He thinks our new little red car is "So Fancy" and recognizes all Toyotas, Mazdas, and Hyundais on the road. He's working on remembering Fords, and any others I can help him with. He recognizes shapes of vehicles. He can pick out Grandpa Snow's same vehicle in ANY color from great distances, as well as Grandma Julie's, and Aunt Carly's, and so forth. He LOVES his cars. He recently picked up an auto trader at a restaurant and now carries it with him everywhere!
2. Henry is the most polite 3 year old boy you will meet. He almost always always says his please, and thank you's - He always says 'bless you' and 'excuse you mommy...' He always replies in such a mild manner and always with a 'your welcome' when needed. Its really quite adorable.
3. Henry LOVES books. If we could spend all day reading, and some days I wish we could, then he would be in Heaven. His favorites right now include Weekend with Wendall, The Big, Ripe Strawberry, Any Clifford books, and so many more... Wish I weren't drawing a blank.
4. Henry is a bit of stinker when it comes to bed time if he has had a nap during the day. He often comes up with 10 or more different reasons to come out of his bedroom.
5. Still a picker eater! What's a mom to do! Henry LIVES on Peanut butter, Cottage Cheese, Mac'N'Cheese, Quesadillas, Cheese sticks, Applesauce, Milk... oh goodness. Thats about it. Really.

Well Im sure there's so much more I could share, but we'll leave it there for now. Hope you enjoyed! Until next time, which hopefully is sooner then later!

Owie?

Henry fell jumping on the trampoline with his tiny cousins just 3 days before his 3rd birthday. If you haven't already experienced a head wound you should know now that they are bleeders. Now, this wasnt his first head wound...he's cut his lip a couple times, but this WAS our first experience with stitches. Not Fun. Thats all I can say. Its a hard thing for a mommy to hold her confused, upset, hurting child down while a doctor pushes, what looks like, a fish hook through his perfect skin 4 times. It was not fun, but Henry was a perfect angel. AFTER...all was said and done. He got a chocolate frosty, and never once touched his cool, new, blue stitches. 

I came out to find Henry had made a Road of DVDS. He wouldnt let me put them away all day! Finally when Dad was on his way home I convinced they had to go back. I love his toddler--ness :)

3 YEARS OLD

Well, our sweet little Henry has officially turned 3! I was kind of hoping his birthday wouldn't come, and he would quit aging. He is mature beyond his 3 little years, and its an amazing thing to witness his growth, and grasp of the world around him. He is so so very chatty. He loves to talk. He asks me a million questions a day about anything and everything. His curiosity is incredible, and as much as I hate to watch him age so quickly I am anxious and excited to see what this little man does with his life. He has great potential, and will do wonderful things. We celebrated Henry's 3 birthday with a steady flow of gifts all day long, and a monster bash with family! We got rained out about 45 minutes into his party which was a bummer, but we are grateful for this amazing little boy. Happy 3rd Birthday Henry! We love you more then you will ever know.

All in all - I'd say it was a pretty AWESOME day. Happy Birthday sweet boy. We LOVE you!

4th Of July - Bear Lake

Bear Lake is Heaven on Earth. I am lucky enough to have a reason to visit often. My parents now own the house that my Dad grew up in, in St. Charles, Idaho. Enjoy the MANY many pictures, and if you ever get the opportunity to... Visit this amazing area.

DRIVING?! Yes, my handsome 2 year old took the wheel and spun us around the lake a bit

Bloomington Lake. Stunning right? It's a short 45 minutes up the canyon from home, and it's amazing. That's snow up there, and the water was frigid but my crazy brother decided to participate in the fun and swung from a rope right into that icy water!

There he goes....

Poor Henry, He had SO much fun on this trip the the stinking mosquitos got him! He woke up with his eye swollen shut. It was swollen for 2 days. Poor little man.
