Random catch up!

Henry fell asleep in time-out...so cute!

Going to the Temple!

The magnetic letters we got at a yard sale for super cheep!

A part of what I scored for $2.60 at a yard sale!

Having more fun with the magnetic letters.

This next picture has a bit of a story. Mackay and I are reading The Fellowship of the Ring together. Well one Friday afternoon Mackay came up with a super fun date night that we could do after Henry went to bed. We had treats while listening to the sound tracks from the Lord of the Rings movies and then built a tent in our living room and Mackay read to me while we chilled in our tent! It was a lot of fun!
Date night!

The Duck Pond

We have been trying to go on a family walk every morning after Mackay gets home from work. We found a beautiful place to walk close to our home and one of the highlights, especially for Henry, is the duck pond we walk by. Here are a few pictures from one of our walks there. Hope you all enjoy! (Oh and I apologize that  the pictures of Henry and Mackay are a little fuzzy. I was taking them from a little ways away.)





A tiny bug landed on Mackay and Henry thought it was sooo cool!



Visiting Family

Last week Henry and I went on a last minute trip to visit my Mom's family. My grandpa was scheduled to possibly have heart surgery last Tuesday. So Aunt Jen invited Henry and I to go down there with them. Everything worked out so that grandpa didn't need to have surgery which was wonderful and we still got to see lots of cousins and play in the water a bunch!

Henry and I getting ready to take a dip!

Having a grand time!

Just too cute to not post!
Thanks Aunt Julie and Aunt Sheri for letting us stay with you guys! We had a great time seeing everyone! Love you all!

31 weeks


It amazes me every time how big this little body of mine can get to accommodate these little babies!

Our little two year old!

We started out the day with making Henry's birthday cupcakes. Henry really enjoyed pouring all the ingredients into the bowl and then watching it mix. I think his favorite part though was getting to lick the whisk when it was all done mixing :) Here are some pictures of him enjoying the spoils! 



A few drizzles from Henry's whisk :)

The cake batter.
The night before Henry's birthday I decorated the living room by stringing a bunch of balloons together and making him a birthday sign. He was so excited to come out on his birthday to all the balloons and he even liked the sign!



He had this cute "Birthday Boy" shirt from Grandma Carol. I just couldn't resist having him wear it for his birthday:)


I love how his cupcakes turned out! I was not planning on putting any food coloring in the frosting because of stains. But once I put the candles in they just looked so boring. I had the idea of polka dots and Mackay gave me the idea of using a q-tip dipped in the food coloring to get the perfect dots. It was so much fun to decorate and I love the finished product!



We had a little party for Henry with a couple of his friends. Since Mackay's birthday was last week Henry learned that he would get to blow out candles on his birthday. From the moment he woke up and knew it was his birthday he was begging to blow out candles. I told him he had to wait for his friends to get here. Well he understood me better than I had thought because when the first friend arrived Henry happily yelled "FIRE" in their face. Haha it was so funny. Here are some pictures of us singing to him and blowing out the candles.


He blew them out in one breath! I was impressed.


Enjoying the goods!



Next we did gifts. Mackay and I didn't get the presents wrapped but Henry didn't seem to mind one bit :)




This fan is his absolute favorite!

Mackay and I got this at the thrift store for $3! And Henry loves it!

Last of all birthday cards.
We had a great time celebrating Henry. Mackay and I feel so blessed to have this precious little boy as part of our family! Thanks to all who helped make his day special!

Errand Running

The other day Henry decided he was not going to take a nap. So we decided to run some errands instead. We went to the thrift store and found some pants for Mackay that I am going to be make into shorts. Oh the best part of our trip there was we got me a rocking/reclining chair. (Lazyboy style). We also got Henry's birthday present for only $3! I will show pictures of that later when I post on his birthday. After the thrift store we had to go to Walmart and get a bunch of bathroom items. By the time we got home this is what Henry looked like...
looks like for once Mom and Dad wore him out :)
