Henry: (Eats booger.) No, Mom, it's yummy.
Me: Oh Henry...

Oh Henry, maybe someday you will stop picking your nose...

Thanksgiving Count Down 22

I have been trying to get better at being grateful for all the blessings I have. So I thought doing a count down to Thanksgiving with a blessing a day would be perfect.

I am so thankful for little Julia's smile! She brightens up my day even when she is being a stinker! 

What things are you thankful for?

Halloween

Let me tell you I hate everything about Halloween... except dressing little kids up and trick or treating. Especially when they are my own children! For the past week or two Henry has been dancing around the house in his costume singing "Happy Halloween." And yes that is his own tune, he is going to be a song writer someday :)

Is there a cuter Mickey out there?

Look at my tail :)

Our little Mickey and Minnie!!!

Henry had so much fun Trick or Treating! Watching him run down the street with that little tail wagging was one of the cutest things I have ever seen! Thanks Jessica for letting us borrow the Mickey Costume!

Fall Fun

Some good friends of ours, Chloe and Ryan, invited us over to carve pumpkins a few weeks ago. We had a bunch of fun and got some cool pumpkins too! 

Mackay hard at work!

Henry provided the music :)

Chloe helped Henry carve his pumpkin!

So we had our first snow storm of the year and I was actually excited. I don't know what it is this year, maybe being pregnant through the summer, but I am so excited for the cold this year! Sadly the snow didn't even stay for the whole day. Maybe next time we can go out and play!

Isn't it beautiful!

We had a church Halloween party this year. We were not able to stay for too much of it but still had fun!

Pirate Mickey!

Henry and Daddy going on a hay ride!

Enjoying the hay ride.

The rest of these are just fun random pictures of normal day activities at our house :)

Going for a Sunday stroll :)

This last Christmas there was a giant gift left on our doorstep from an unknown person or family. We opened it on Christmas and this awesome toy for Henry was inside. We were, and are, so grateful to the people who gave it! Since Henry was a little bit young for it we have been saving it. We recently decided it was time to bring out the toy. And let me tell you Henry LOVES it! I have never seen him play with a toy for so long. The first night we set it up he played with it for a couple of hours and did not want to do anything else! It has been great watching him play with this and playing with him! Thanks to whoever thought of us last Christmas and gave Henry such a sweet gift!
