We ended our day by going to Sammy Heinnywipe's birthday bash. The boys had fun, minus the meltdown Henry had over some popped balloons and in the van ride home. Here is some footage of the birthday song.
This was in Tennesee at Aunt Kim and Uncle Matt's house. Sparklers for the boys.
Daddy went fishing with Henry and Eddie today. Henry caught a baby bluegill and helped me reel in a medium sized female bluegill.
Story: Eddie wanted to be the first one to fish because we only take one fishing pole due to the chaos it causes. I threw it out into the water, handed it to Eddie, he reeled one full rotation on the fishing pole, then proceeded to tell me he was done. Now you know why we only take one pole. Henry took over from there while Eddie went down the way and looked for rocks to throw.
After fishing we went to the local playground and the boys played on the various slides. They had a great time trying to defy gravity with their every move -- up slides, standing on slides, balancing on the edges of the slides (Typical boy activity). Dad just sat back and let nature take it's course. Angie wonders why boys have a need to make her heart rate go up. I just tell her this is the beginning of what lies ahead and brace for it now.
After they at lunch they came out and helped mow the grass for 5 minutes or so. Eddie is very afraid of the lawnmower. He has his little lawnmower, pushing it around the yard. Anytime I get near him, he will run as fast as possible pushing his lawnmower with him. They boys then went on to hitting golf balls in the freshly manicured grass. Henry is developing a nice swing. Eddie is just learning how to grip the club. He doesn't like any advice (I don't know where he gets it), so I have to be very firm with him to help.
So much to talk about! Eddie turned two on October 12th, we've had Nana here for a visit last weekend and Beth, Josh, and the kids are here this weekend. We went trick-or-treating last Wednesday at a retirement center with Katie and Carter...what fun:). Then on Halloween we went trick-or-treating with (Big)Carter, Ella, and Sophia. Henry and Eddie love spending time with all the kids!!! Oh, on Friday we went to get pictures done, and Stacey, Katie and (little)Carter went too! Today, I took (Big)Carter, Henry, and Ella over to Jantzyn's to play for a couple hours. They had a ball! It was Jantzyn's birthday.
Enjoy the pictures...we sure had fun!
Henry needs some cowboy boots! Preferably brown or black. The cute pink boots belong to Jantzyn, but Henry loves to wear them! Daddy doesn't think that Henry needs to be wearing "cowboy" boots, but I disagree. (go figure)
Anyway, I thought that you all would enjoy the picture of Henry in the pink boots!
It's been a long time since I have posted anything...so sorry about that!
It was a very busy summer...yet fun! We spent most of June at home, and then July came...and went! We went to Tennessee the end of July, then on to Daytona Beach for a week, then back to Knoxville for another four days and then finally home on August 7th. It was a long vacation (almost too long) but it was fun! The morning we left for vacation, I found out I was pregnant. A week later the nausea set in and lasted for about 4 weeks. I never felt that sick with Henry or Eddie, so I was not expecting it! It knocked me out many days---I slept a lot! I am glad to be feeling better! I had my first appointment yesterday and he said that everything looked fine and the heartbeat was very strong. I will be 3 months in one week, so the first trimester is almost over. WooHoo!
I am posting some pictures from this summer. Enjoy!
