December 2012

December is a busy month for everyone, and we definitely had an exciting one!  We started off the month going to the beach with Gee Gee, Pots, Aunt Jess and Kate Austen.  It was really pleasant one day, but the next was cold so we loaded everyone up and went to the Ripley's Aquarium.  It was quite entertaining for the kids and fun for us as well!

Some of my good friends and I decided to take our kids to the Polar Express in North Carolina and the kids had a blast.  We stayed in a hotel in Maggie Valley, and I think they enjoyed the room and the indoor pool just as much.  All in all, it was a successful trip.

Henry's golden ticket

 

The four kiddos....Sarah and I had the same pjs for our kids, so Henry matches them.

 

Then Henry had his school performance of Rudolf....it was quite entertaining!  My pictures came out blurry, sorry!

Here are a few pictures from one of our family Christmas celebrations.  This is Hampton, Beaus cousin....he looks really excited.  Henry LOVES Hampton!!!

Aunt Brigit and Uncle Collin came to visit for Christmas and I got a cute shot of Fin with Aunt Brigit....so sweet!

Santa also came to our house for a photo shoot.  The boys did pretty well and now we have some very adorable and memorable pictures!

Halloween and Thanksgiving 2012

I am so far behind in my blogging it is unbelievable.  I have now uploaded all of my pictures and just need to add captions.  Here are the boys this fall in Asheville visiting Aunt Jess and Uncle Brent!

Sweet Kate Austen

Then we had Halloween....that is Pots dressed up like a lion!

Here are the only 2 pictures I took at Thanksgiving.....

Henry actually let them clean his teeth this fall....yes, I know I should have done it earlier.....we tried!

Then back to Halloween at the zoo with Buzz (Carlisle).

Fun times had by all....look for my next post tomorrow!

Happy Fall Y'all!

I can't believe how slack I have been with blogging lately!!!  I am going to try to do better in  2013!  Here are some of the pictures we took at our annual visit to the pumpkin patch in October. 

Finley was actually easier to photograph this year because Henry did not sit still, nor did he want to give me a normal smile.  They are all cheesy now.....

 

See what I mean about cheesy grin....

Soccer

We decided to sign Henry up for soccer this fall through the YMCA....well, they ended up having a ton of technical problems and Henry was put on a team that is 6 and under.  Even though we were nervous about the gap in age, Henry did awesome!  He had a few good games and few where he was not interested at all.  Luckily, we signed him up with his best bud, Carlisle, so that helped motivate Henry to get out and do his best.  At 3 1/2, Henry really just liked running around the field and looking at airplanes in the sky.  We are going to try again in the spring and hopefully he will get more interested!  These are pictures from his first game and he held hands with the coach for the majority of the game.  I did get a few shots of him running and talking to his buddy....This Saturday (November 9) is his last game, so I am super behind on posting, but his has really done great getting out on the field and trying his best to get into the game.  We are very proud of our little man who is growing up so fast!
