My sweet court jester and some trains

I was very hesitant to buy this hat for Henry, but I am so glad I did because I think it is precious!  Beau and my brother both think it is a little strange, but Henry looks adorable it in!  Here are some shots of him playing in the backyard when it was really cold outside (then it was 60 the next day).


Here is Molly in her Christmas sweater......


Henry's eyes are turning green like his daddy!


On another note, we went to some random farm a few days ago who have something called 'Trains Lights and Tractors.'  We went with our good friends TNPLH (Liam and Annah) and Henry loved looking at all of the trains on the wall, the moving trains and the train lights.  He was not as interested in the tractors or Santa but it was really fun for him.  Just as a side note we all went to San Jose (7 of us) for a quick dinner and there was a 30-40 minute wait.....who has ever heard of that at a Mexican restaurant?????  Other than that, it was a successful night!!!

Movie madness!

I pulled my Flip video camera out a few days ago because I feel like I am missing some opportunities to video Henry.  He really is hilarious and precious at the same time.  Hope you enjoy the videos!

On this first one, we are getting ready to leave our house and Henry is saying bye to all of the people in the Nativity Scene.....kissing baby Jesus (just listen closely and you can hear it).


Somehow Henry has learned how to count to 10.  Last week he was doing an amazing job, now he skips the number 5 and calls 8, H, but it is pretty cute nonetheless!


In this video, Henry is tickling the school bus in front of him (this is his new favorite thing to do....tickle).


This video of him interacting with the Nativity scene is much better.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

 Santa came to our house to visit Henry and some other sweet boys and girls.....well, we were not sure if Henry would be excited, indifferent or scared to death.  When Santa walked in, Henry got mad and scared at the same time.  I think he was scared of Santa and mad at me for letting some strange looking man in our house.  He started to throw a little tantrum and then ran to me and hugged me TIGHTLY!!!  It was a big difference from last year with Santa!


 This was Henry last year with Santa.....
He seems pretty happy and indifferent!


This is as close to Santa he would get for a while without freaking out.

Finally, I forced him to sit on Santa's lap.....

As the night went on, Henry did warm up a little to Santa, but not enough to get back on his lap with out crying.  These are cute of Santa playing cars and trains with Henry! 



Some of these pictures are on my Christmas card, so I hope you enjoy them twice!!

Better late than never.....

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! We have been going nonstop since the week before Thanksgiving and I am pretty sure that it will continue until after the New Year!  It has been fun and exhausting to say the least!  Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend....Beau and I had all the family at our house for Thanksgiving lunch and then we went to Sumter for dinner.  Needless to say I ate a ton and have not stopped eating since!

I took a few pictures of Henry playing with the dogs one night.  He LOVES the dogs now.....maybe more than us!  He has finally started calling the dogs (Moyee-Molly and Bee-Sperry)  Who knows where Bee came from???  He is so funny with them.  He loves to steal Molly's ball so she will chase him and knock him down.  He laughs and laughs.  Henry also loves to run his trains all over Sperry and also share his bankey with him.  Sperry does not seem to mind!

This picture snuck in the Thanksgiving ones....YO GABBA GABBA!


Here she comes......


This is a little blurry, but how happy is Henry here????



Thanksgiving day.....


Beau fried a turkey again this year....yummmmm!


I doctored this photo on Picasa....what do you think?  Is it better than the next picture?


The Sumter family!

DRAWIN!

That is the southern word for drawing!  This is going to be a quick post, but Henry has become very interested in drawing.....however, not with crayons or markers, but pens and pencils.  He has also found that he can draw on other things besides paper....ie. the seats in my car, the desk, the door, the kitchen floor.  He is also very particular about what he draws on.  He does not like the big pad of paper that I bought him, no way!  He likes post it notes and pads of paper.  Oh, he also wants us to draw trains and trucks for him to color over.  Who knows, maybe we will have an artist on our hands! 
Here he is relaxing while drawing!

Listening and Dancing to Music is AWESOME!!!!

For all of you Yo Gabba Gabba fans, we had the opportunity to go see Yo Gabba Gabba Live and it was awesome!  Henry had been fighting a viral infection, so he was a little under the weather, however, when he saw his grandparents and all of the characters from "Babba" he was in heaven!!!  We had a big crowd there to support our little guy and Henry was absolutely perfect the whole time.....he actually sat in our laps and watched the show.  He was completely amazed at everything, the lights, balloons, and the action on the stage.  I hope it was a magical night for him!


Henry can't get over everything he sees!

Beau decided it would be best to wear glasses like DJ Lance Rock!                                         

We HAD to buy Henry a Gabba shirt....Brobee it is!

Let the show begin!




These pictures were all taken from different phones because I did not think cameras were allowed....I was WRONG!!!  Everyone brought cameras and Flip video recorders.

After a little while, Henry finally came down to sit with his mom and dad.  He did not stay long....he prefers his grandmothers!
 



My litttle guy so focused!

So stinkin cute!

NO, NOT BEAU AND I......

Happy Halloween to everyone out there!!!  We all celebrated Halloween this year by dressing up in fun costumes.  We went first as Kat Von D and Jesse James (don't ask about Beau's tears).....like the sleeves???

Here were some of the costumes from the girls.....


 Then the boys......

Can you guess what Henry was??

You are getting warmer......



Yes, he was the most precious and adorable SKUNK (thanks to our friend Micah)!
He looks so enthused......I think it was because there was a "Choo choo" nearby.  He could not focus on anything else!



Here we have Jac Jac as a fairy (Tinkerbell, I think).
Delainey was also a fairy but blogger is not cooperating and she is the last picture at the bottom.

Now we have the boys....Henry, Ward and Carlisle.  It was almost impossible to get the skunk and spider to sit down and look at the camera and when they finally did, Ward was looking away.  Oh well, next year, maybe????

 Now it is finally time to TRICK-OR-TREAT!!!!  Henry is waiting patiently!

 And we are off!

At this house, he chose a pixie stick and a sucker (his favorite candy as of lately).

And her is sweet Delainey!


Happy Halloween everyone!
