Trains

Henry has been very into his train set lately. He especially likes me to make "bridges" with small hills and then he laughs as his trains go crashing down. This will generally keep him occupied for quite a while.

So this was the first day I set them all up, then I discovered he only really cares about the bridges, so then I got smart and only built him bridges.

Here's the little conductor!

Sleepy Boys

Henry has always been a great sleeper, he must get it from his father, because I do not require a lot of sleep, nor do I sleep well on general principle, especially these days. Every now and then Henry will end up in our bed for various reason, illness, hot weather, it's rare so we do enjoy the time we have to snuggle with him. He always prefers Kevin over me when it comes to snuggling.

My boys, I wonder where they are gonna put the baby?!

Probably watching a show early in the a.m.

The Big Birthday Party!!

This year we celebrated Henry's second birthday with his cousins Cole and Reed who have birthdays within days of Henry. Auntie and Uncle Bryan were kind enough to host the event and all of our family was able to help celebrate! The boys had a great time and other than a few squabbles about whose birthday party it was, it went extremely well. Kate has some cute pictures on her blog with the boys in their 1,2,3 T-Shirts, so check it out!

Kevin worked extremely hard on this baseball cake. I baked it and he decorated! I think he did a great job, and Henry definitely loved it!

The three birthday boys! Grammy made Cole's soccer ball cake and Reed's beach ball cake, we'll have to come up with another theme for next year!

Egg Coloring and the Park.

This year we colored Easter eggs at Auntie's. The kids had a great time and we faced the challenge of getting the blue dye out of Henry's hands. Normally I would not mind Henry having blue hands for a few days, but he had his two year pictures the next day and the blue hands were not part of my plan. Anyway, we had a great time, thanks Auntie!

After his pictures, Henry and I spent some time at the playground, until it became swarmed with older kids and we decided to head home.

I think Henry only used to blue dye the whole time.

The "big" kids.

Peek a Boo!

Easter

So, I know that Easter was a month ago and I am very behind on posts, but things have been extremely busy around here. I am actually taking advantage of the fact that both Kevin and Henry are sleeping to catch up on some posts. So, here is Easter. We had a great day and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

The Easter Bunny came to visit!

All dressed up.

Egg hunt and my aunt and uncle's. The competition was not too tough this year considering Henry was the only kid because his cousins were all home sick.

Henry had a hard time functioning throughout the day since we were visiting during nap time, he took advantage of Papa and got a lift.

No, this was not Henry's birthday celebration, but seeing as Easter was right after his birthday, Henry thought that every dessert warrants candles, the family was happy to sing to Henry and let him blow out some candles.

Egg Hunt at Jake's

On Friday Henry and I went to an Easter egg hunt at Henry's friend Jake's house. We had beautiful weather and all the kids had a great time. This was Henry's second egg hunt of the season. The first one he was somewhat confused and did not collect many eggs, by this egg hunt, he figured it out and was able to fill his bucket!

Henry and Mason, I think Henry was running to find eggs here.

Jake stealing Henry's eggs, actually I think he was more into the basket than the eggs.

Henry with all his eggs! Thanks Jake, we had a great time!

Henry is Two!!!

Henry turned 2 on April 1st and was lucky enough to spend the day with Mommy!!! I took the day off of work to celebrate and catch up on some doctor appointments. Henry's two year well child went well, Henry is in the 70th percentile for weight and 40th percentile for height (the highest he has ever been!) Henry is developing well and overall he is a healthy toddler, (aside from constant ear infections, but we're working on that!)

Here are some pictures of our fun day. We started the day with a bagel and a coffee, Henry's favorite. Typically Henry is happy with a coffee mug filled with water, but on his birthday I gave him a small cup of real coffee, he was mighty excited as the pictures show!

If you click on these pictures you can see his cream cheese covered mouth!

After our fun filled day Henry's cousins stopped by for some outside fun and presents of course!

Henry let Jack and Luke help him open his presents, he was more excited to play with them than open them.

We got Henry a bowling set (by far the new favorite toy) and a T-Ball set, which he also enjoys.

Henry got many birthday phone calls from all of our family!! Thank you everybody who was thinking of Henry on his special day!

To end the birthday we took Henry to Friendly's where he and dad shared an ice cream sundae! We had a such a great day and are so very thankful for our big 2 year old!!
