Buddies

Henry & Nathan have been spending lots of time together lately. Even though there are the occasional struggles, pushes, and pinches, they have been having lots of fun together.

They had fun at Nathan's birthday party at Pump It Up a few weeks ago.

The fountain at the Beaverton Farmer's Market was fun even though it was really cold out that day. We'll have to go back on a nice sunny day.
They even took a bath together one evening. Cute!

Happy Father's Day!

I know I'm two days late, but I couldn't let Father's Day go by without acknowledging Henry's wonderful daddy. Not only do I love Jeff, but Henry is crazy about him!

Jeff is the kind of dad who gets down on the floor and rolls around and tickles and chases Henry from room to room. But, he's also the kind of dad who covers Henry's face in kisses and tells him "I love you, son" over and over. Jeff takes Henry for walks in the wagon. He buries him in pillows and blankets on our bed. He spends hours building elaborate train track configurations that Henry promptly destroys. He takes Henry to the store and buys him two donuts. Henry may someday have uncertainties in life, but he will never have to wonder whether his dad loves him. Happy Father's Day to Henry's Daddy-Dadders!

The Levi Train

Last Sunday we went to Levi's 4th birthday party. It was at a large scale model train station where people could ride on the electric trains. The kids had a blast riding around (and around and around) the tracks!

There's Levi in the front, Henry in the gray sweatshirt, and Jeff right behind Henry. Henry and the adorable Avery waving as they rode past.
Jeff and Matt...I don't really know what to say about this one!
Birthday Boy Levi got to be the engineer and drive the train.The cupcakes were delicious!

Big Boy Bed!

Henry got bunk beds today!


Tonight is Henry's first night in a big boy bed. Jeff took apart the crib and moved it out into the garage, and I feel kind of sad that Henry's babyhood is officially over. But, at the same time, it's exciting that he's growing up and doing new fun things.


We bought the bunk bed, both mattresses, two superhero Pottery Barn sheet sets and two Pottery Barn comforters all from a lady on Craigslist. Great deal!

My Little Astronomer

Henry gets super excited whenever he sees the moon, so I was super excited to capture his excitement on video!

Can you SEE this video? I'm trying Blogger's video feature instead of YouTube, and I don't know if it's working. Someone please let me know if you can see it. Could you see the video that I posted two days ago? I need feedback! Thanks!

A Few Quick Pics

One of Henry's current favorite books is Corduroy. He likes me to read the book over and over and over. He loves Corduroy's green overalls, and he started calling his green tank top green overalls. "I have to wear my green overalls. I need my green overalls!" I looked on ebay and found something a little closer to Corduroy's overalls than the green tank top. Now Henry wants to wear them every day. When he's wearing the green overalls, we have to call him Corduroy. He insists.

Last weekend we had some friends visit for a barbecue, and they brought over Henry's future girlfriend, Zoey. They were so cute together, and Henry has asked several times when Zoey will come over again. Too bad they live in Texas!

"Hey Zoey, like my wheels?"

What a cute couple!You can tell Henry likes Zoey because he let her use his prized Thomas umbrella.

Henry and Nathan are quickly becoming Best Buds. They play so well together lately and Henry says that Nathan is his "best fwend."

Only the best of friends eat dinner in the buff and/or in underwear.

Taking a Bath in the Dirt!

I don't like dirt, but Henry sure does!

The only thing that distracts Henry from the dirt is fire! Scary!
