Henry's {FOURTH} birthday!!

Henry woke up last Sunday bouncing off the walls! He was FINALLY FOUR! :). We made him wait until after church to unwrap present. I've never seen him eat him lunch so fast!! He had a small pile of cards and boxes that had accumulated and was so excited to finally open them! 

We Love You, Henry!!!

So blessed.

Yesterday was a downright rainy, chilly day. It actually felt a little winter ish & you could actually wear a sweater & not sweat to death. So I dressed my boys in some Christmas-y sweaters and it was pure cuteness. We are so blessed by these boys. These are the best days!!


Last night was the children's Christmas play at church and before it started the preschool choir sang a few songs. H&P were up there together and I was one proud momma!!! It was Ps first time on stage and he did not disappoint. In awe. Shaking his bell just like he should!! Super sweet! H (on the end) was participating this year which was great to see & he seemed like such a big boy up there being one of the older ones!!


Up next, I'll have to share some pictures of Hs bday :).

Henry {FOUR}.

Henry!!

You are FOUR. You have waited ALL year to be FOUR!!! 

I can't believe it. The years have just flown by!

You are around 35 pounds and 40.5 in tall. You wear a 4T. Size 9-10 shoe.

You continue to be a very detailed little boy. Your memory is crazy good and I can't believe all the things you can recall. You are a great BIG brother! 

I can't believe 4 years ago you were such a little tiny bundle! 

So, so sweet! Where'd that baby go? :/

You are growing into such a sweet little man. Most of the time ;)

You and Porter can go round and round at times but you can also be sweet to each other too! 

You are such a big help to momma with Wells. You volunteer all the time to play with him and are so gentle when you talk to him and give him lots of kisses! 

You have really enjoyed going to "school" this year and it's given you a lot of confidence and you love everything...especially the car line and snack time! hahaha!! :) You know letters, colors, shapes, numbers & are getting better at writing your name!

You are cuddly and smart with a little silly mixed in :). 

You love tractors, trains, race cars and your newest obsession is helicopters!! 

Let's take a little trip down memory lane...

Henry at ONE

Henry at TWO

Henry at THREE

You are still a little timid when it comes to large crowds and unfamiliar people. That's when you just shut down but usually that's when you let Porter take the lead bc he doesn't have any problem there. That's the great thing about brothers...you have each others backs ;). 

Here's a funny little story. Last week Henry asked where he was on the "Ruler" (our measuring stick I recently made) and noticed he was very disappointed when I showed him where he was. The past couple of days he's been cleaning his plate and asking for seconds saying he needs to grow BIG! Last night at dinner he cleaned his plate again and then asked if I could measure him again. I said, "why do I need to measure you now?" He said, "I need to make sure i'm going to be FOUR {feet} for my birthday tomorrow!!" 

Oh Henry, we LOVE you! You made us a Momma & Poppa first! We have been blessed to have you as our son and are so thankful God has given us these past four years and pray for many more!!

Patrick.

Our elf on the shelf is named Patrick...per the boys request. I had another name in mind but they pleaded for this name. So Patrick it is! (not Pat :)). Anywho, Henry LOVED reading the book. Until he thought about it. Then there were tears... He said Patrick was not allowed to be in his room and didn't like the thought of him walking around. When he first arrived he didn't like it, which caused P to get upset too. But we've kept moving him around & day 2 Henry said," Patrick isn't real. I know you're moving him around." And then he seemed to calm down about it. Just a little something fun to do and every morning they run out of their rooms to search and find him. Kit was NOT into it at all at first but man, he's really stepped in and made it fun. Almost all of these pics are his idea. A couple others were hiding in the boys' cup/plate cabinet & yesterday he was buckled up and in the truck waiting on us to go to church :)

Life lately according to iPhone pictures

Happy Friday!!

Christmas Parades!!

Saturday morning we went to our little downtown for the Christmas Parade this morning. The boys were invited to ride on a "float" for the parade. H & P were in heaven!! Kit (the husbands) rode with the kids and Wells & I were waiting with the other wives on the sidewalk.




Then afterwards we hung around downtown with our friends Jackson & Mason! They rode the "train", did the spider trampoline & rock wall. H&P blew us all away with wanting to do the trampoline. They threw caution to the wind and did it and h actually went really high! Proud momma moment. P giggled & had a great time!
























Then after naps we went back out to another parade in McDonough at the square. I think we were all in bed at 9! Haha








P took this one!!








A fun weekend to start off the Christmas season!! :)

My 29th bday!

I had a great birthday! Kit took the day off and we enjoyed the day getting our Christmas tree and having a pizza party in the evening :). 

I laughed out loud when I opened my cookie cake! ;). It was delicious!!

Gifts from my boys! :)

The tree and Mantle! Still doing some tweaking but yay! It's all up! :)
