James the student

James is having a great school year so far.  We are excited to have his first conference soon!   He is taking school very seriously.  He made his own flash cards a few weeks ago for all the sight words he is supposed to know for the 1st quarter.

Meeting baby Greyson

Today we got to meet baby Greyson.  My cousin Mackenzie had Greyson on Sept 27th so he wasn't even a week old.  He was just perfect!  Congrats to Nick and Mackenzie!

Henry is 1

Henry, how can you be 1?  This has been the fastest year ever!  You are so happy and such a good baby.  Your personality is coming through more and more.  It is fun finding out who you are going to be!  You are very easy going most of the time.  You are starting to hate diaper changes and getting into your car seat.  You are becoming a predictable sleeper.  You have transitioned to 1 nap much faster than your brothers did and you usually sleep 2-2 1/2 hours in the middle of the day.  You go to sleep at night between 7-8 and sleep anywhere from 5-7 am.  You are still nursing around 4 times a day, but I can tell you are wanting me less and less.  You refused to nurse before bed last night and have started to refuse during the day too.  You are growing up!  You love to play with your brothers and they love to make you laugh.  They are very rough with you but you seem to love it.  You are going to be a very tough boy.  A few times I've seen you fall or bump your head and it hardly phases you.  You aren't walking yet, but you are starting to cruise the furniture.  Maybe by 13 months you will take your first steps.  You had your 1 year check up this week.  You are 24 lbs 13 oz and 31 inches long.  Your hair is still as red as ever!  It is starting to fill out more so you don't have the redhawk quite as much anymore.  You love almost any food we give you and you are a very good eater.  I can hardly put it on the highchair fast enough!  James has given you the nickname Bubba and your other nicknames are Henry T and daddy likes to call you Hank or Hank the tank!  We all love you very much Henry!

Henry's Pumpkin Party

I had so much fun planning Henry's 1st party!  I think I've been on Pinterest too much because I obviously went a little overboard(compared to what I normally do for parties) on all the details.  But, Henry will only turn 1 once and I wanted to have a very special party for him.  
Custom party hat idea from here.
Fall porch
 I got a little pumpkin party package from Etsy.
 Banner with pictures from his 1st year.
 My favorite fall decoration has to be his newborn picture on the pumpkin.
 All the food!
I made:
Sausages
Quiche Lorraine

 Henry's smash cake


 We had great weather so we set up tables outside for guests.
 Ready for cake!
 Yum!
 Enjoying his new riding toy!
 More pictures!

Happy happy Henry!!!

Llama, llama red pajama

This is Blake's favorite book right now.  He has to read it before nap and bedtime everyday.
