Mommy Turned 30!!

Yes I turned 30 this year!! It was and still is a little strange but we had a good time celebrating.  Daniel and Henry took me shopping and out for lunch.  Then we had a dinner party with our friends.  That was my one request, I wanted a friend party with no kids! :)  We went to dinner and had a fun time!

Our Little Mater

This year I asked Henry what he wanted to be for Halloween and he said Mater from the movie Cars.  I thought great how am I going to make that!?! And I just knew if I spent a lot of time on it he would then refuse to wear it.  Ask asking him several times if he really wanted to be Mater I gave in and took the risk and made the costume.  It actually turned out really cute! Daniel's mom helped me and it ended up not being very hard. I use a box to make the truck part and added paper plate to make the wheels and engine block.  Then used a yard stick to make the hook and attached a rope with a hook we found in the hardware section.  I put the eyes on his shirt and found a really red neck hat for him to wear.  

He was so cute! He kept saying "I'm driving Mater Mommy!"  And even though it was rainy and yucky he had a great time and kept asking to go to more houses and get candy.  After we were done we went back to Daniel's mom's house to pass out candy. Every time someone would come to the door Henry would give them candy and then take one for himself and put it in his bucket!

All in all I am really glad got the chance to make my first costume for my sweet boy and that he loved it so much!

 Oh and everyone at the restaurant where Daniel is a manager had to dress up that weekend too.  So he went as Billy Mays the Oxi Clean guy. :)

Henry Started School!!

This fall Henry started a Preschool program at a local church 2 days a week and he loves it!  We went up to the school the week before to get signed up and see his class room.  He was so excited he asked to go to school to his "Bunny Class" every day until he started.  It was so cute watching him on his first day.  He had no problem leaving me and ran right in to play.  He is still so excited every time he goes.  In his class the moms help out on a rotating schedule so I have been able to see him in class and it is so fun.  He is one of only 2 boys in the class so he and the other boy Nolan were fast friends! They are so cute and follow each other around the whole time.  I am so glad he is getting to have this experience and give me a little time too!

Henry's Birthday

Last month Henry turned two!! We had a great party with family and friends! He wanted a tractor party, so we had it at a local farm and it was so much fun! Every body got to go on a hay ride and a train ride, feed the animals, play on the slide, and jump in the bounce house just to name a few.  It was perfect! Well almost Henry had fever the night before and was not 100%.  You could really tell he wasn't feeling the best but he still played and had a great time.  We found out later that he had hand foot mouth!  Thankfully no body else got it! But it was still a really great day!

Getting Big!

More of Our Silly Boy

 

 Henry is such a silly boy these days! Always doing something funny. Here are a few examples.

 He is into taking he close off after his nap while he waits for me to come get him.  But this is as far as he gets. And I have no idea what the deal is with the sock on the hand!

 One of his new favorite things is to eat a snack in our bed while I get ready.  He wants to lean on the pillow and be under the covers and "watchy show." It is pretty cute.
