Pumpkin Patch 09

Henry and I went to visit a pumpkin patch on Tuesday.

It was too sunny, too windy, too crazy.

I just followed Henry around to see if I could snap some good shots... didn't get many.

Giving hugs to the pumpkins

This could have been the best picture... but seeing that I cut off half his face, guess we'll never know.

This year's grumpy pic

Found some his size

So excited!

Found one to buy

Last year's pics weren't any better.

Sick Kiddo

Last week, Henry came down with something nasty. Flu? Maybe.

When we went to his 18 month well checkup on Monday, I told Henry's doc how he had been exposed to the flu (my poor sister-in-law and niece had it). Since I'm pregnant, he went ahead and gave me a prescription for Tamiflu and told me symptoms to look for.

Wednesday afternoon, he woke up from his nap with all the symptoms.

I rushed to the drug store to get the prescription filled and looked apologetic to everyone we encountered. Henry looked miserable- red cheeks, runny nose.

Luckily goldfish and dried apricots kept Henry somewhat happy while waiting for the prescription to be filled.

When we got home, I took these photos.

I think the flash hurt his eyes.

Thank goodness for Sesame Street online.... all the Elmo videos a kid could ask for!

He woke up with fever the next morning, and luckily we didn't see it again.

Now he is back to his old self!

Wedding of Jana & Britt

This past weekend we traveled to Shreveport to celebrate the marriage of my good friend, Jana, and her beaux, Britt.

Jana looked absolutely radiant on her wedding day!

The reception was at a venue on the river. It was beautiful! Food was so delicious! Cakes were beautiful! Fun dancing! Good times were had by all.

Thanks, Jana, for letting me a part of your special day!

Texas State Fair 2009

On Friday night, we met up with some friends to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Fair.

We always love going to see the car show.



It was great spending time with little Brinley...

(Brinley was a trooper the whole time. I just think this pic is the cutest. sorry Amy)

... and baby Witt. (The Hartzlers were in town for a conference)

Of course we had to get our Fletcher's Corn Dogs.

Henry's 1st taste of the delicacy.

The girls

Tom getting psyched about the Fried Butter. It was really good. Tasted like a buttery biscuit.

Henry and I were supposed to go back to the fair on Tuesday with a bunch of friends, but due to illnesses, it got canceled.

Luckily, Tom works real close to the fair grounds. So Henry and I met Tom for dinner.

Henry enjoyed the bird show for about 15 mins.

The real reason I wanted to go back to the fair- Fried Peaches and Cream.

Yum!

And we went to the petting zoo.

Henry did not partake in the petting...

... Just gave the animals a friendly wave.

I'll leave you with this pic... what in the world is this??

Videos

Just some random "show and tell" videos.

Here, Henry is showing off his new skill of saying "no":

(please ignore the first 3 seconds)

It's funny because he'll say "no" at inappropriate times... like when I asked him if he wanted a cookie... his loss.

And here are his various body parts.

Playing Catch Up...

Some photos from the end of September:

Henry and I went to Ella's first soccer game.

During half time, PawPaw kicked the ball around with some of his grandsons.

Henry got to be the goalie.
Henry, Thomas, Arden (in from New Orleans), and PawPaw

Ella was the real goalie. The Ponytails won their first game.



We went to Shreveport for my friend's engagement party.
Trisha is getting married in December, and I probably won't be able to make it to her wedding.
I'm glad we got to at least make it to this shindig.

About to leave for the party (thanks Jenny for the dress!)


The next day, we had brunch with my parents, Elizabeth and her two girls.

Madeline showing off her first missing tooth.

Cousins Madeline, Sarah Grace, and Henry... with Lila the doll.

Lately, Henry has been enjoying putting on our shoes... or as he calls them "shhhhhhs"

Our last Ranger game of the year. :(

We bought tickets for the playoffs in hopes that they made it, but unfortunately they didn't.

(View this season's Opening Day... Henry has grown!)

Playdate at the Overstreets.

Thanks Christy for the great day!

Henry stealing Kara's grapes.

He had a fun time hanging out with the girls, Kara, Ava, and Brinley.

This past weekend, we went to Leah's 1st birthday party.

Had a lot of fun playing at the party!

SO... that's about it.
