Just A Cute Picture

Just had to make a post. I found this picture I took when we went to McCoy's baby blessing. I love it. It should be an ad for puppies or something.

Favorite Aunt?!?!?!

OK, so on Ryker's birthday, Lindsey had to go visiting teaching, and not wanting to pass an opportunity for the girls not to be begging to play with Kamrie for just one day, I offered to keep the kids while she went. Then I got this great idea that I should take birthday pictures of Ryker. So, I left him with the girls in the front room and went into Henry's room to hang a blanket over the crib for a backdrop. It seriously took one minute. I came out to get Ryker and he was not in the room with the girls. That's when I noticed that the front door was open. I hurried outside, and this is what I saw. "Where are you going?" I yelled out to him. "home" he replied so matter-of-factly that I started cracking up. Then I took the picture. Then he started waving and smiling for the camera. Then the girls went and brought him back in the house. What a kid!!! You have to admit he is absolutely darling, charming, handsome, and cute.

4 Months

How can my baby boy be four months already? He is such a delight and brings so much joy to our family. He is a pretty easy going kid...you'd have to be if you were being held, kissed, and mugged for most of your waking moments. The girls have yet to get tired of holding Henry. And they still last a few short minutes. Although, if I have to get dinner or laundry or something, they are really good about "tending" him.

Henry is such a smiley guy and basks in the attention that is showered on him, laughing, smiling, and blowing bubbles. He talks, babbles, and shrieks. He laughs and laughs at peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake. And he loves to be the flying Junior Birdman. {scout song from Woodbadge...leave it to Nate to come up with that one} He sleeps anywhere...even his crib. {major accomplishment for this clingy mom and subsequent four previous clingy children} He takes a bottle. {we even got to go to the temple two weeks ago for our ward conference temple trip :)} He likes to hear his name. He gets fussy at night and likes to rock back and forth in front of the tv. He is absolutely delightful. We love him bunches.

Heart Breakers

I bought these tshirts the other day for the boys. I think they pretty much sum it up. Clay and Henry{ok, ok...it was me} just had to wear theirs today. No waiting until Valentine's for them. Sam will wait...if he wears it at all. {he's not much for boasting} In fact, the mention of girls makes him grin sheepishly and turn red around his neck. He really is a heartbreaker.

Christmas Eve

Picture A Christmas

Henry was starting to give Grandma a complex. He was turned right around staring at her. Not even the doting sister in the background could divert his attention. It was pretty cute.

Christmas Eve was a really good time. We went to Grandma & Grandpa Lester's house for dinner and the nativity. There is something really sweet about having a real baby to play baby Jesus. Henry seemed to understand his role, and played it very seriously. He had an air of reverence and wonder about him. He lay quietly in the manger while the other kids played their parts. {Camera not available at that time.}

ps. found some of Craig's photos that I had upoaded to my computer

When we came home the kids opened their Christmas Eve present. {pjs...surprise, surprise} My boys have already caught on, and can't wait to see what pjs I've picked out for them.
I love the pictures we took.

Logging Truck

Aunt Lindsey gave this tshirt to Henry when he was born. It's perfect. The logging business is in his blood {South & Jones}, and part of his name {uncle burton}.
