Happy Thanksgiving from the Schulte's

Thanks Lois, I mean grandma Kim for showing Henry the joys of fake fire...must be a grandma thing:)!

Great picture of grandma Kim and Henry. I don't have enough of those...

They boys chillin' on Friday.

Henry opening his christmas present from great grandma and grandpa Schwartz...

Thanksgiving 2009 has come and gone. We shopped, we chatted, we even drank some wine! Henry saw the Schwartz's in Iowa and the Schulte's in South Dakota. The weekend ended perfectly with dada's shooting his prized buck. It was great to see family and eat some wonderful food, but I'm sort of glad to be home ready for the crazy holiday season to begin:)

Tools and tough guys

Checkin' out the action...

Not quit sure what that was all about...

Yummers..don't even want to know where that had been.

Over the weekend, Matt, Henry, and Uncle Jay took some time to work on Matt's 4-wheeler. Henry, not wanting to be left inside with ol' mama bear, joined in some wrench and screw driver fun. He really likes his Uncle Gay, he can't quit say Jay yet...

On a sad note, Matt's grandma Eva passed away over the weekend. She is survived by 11 children, 35 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren. She was an amazing woman who led a very full life, and she will be missed.

On a lighter note, Matt has given me the go on doing a little remodel of the basement, nothing crazy, he said...hehehehehe:) My ever faithful and patient friend Jordan, who has the most amazing home, is going to help me out since I seriously cannot paint, AT ALL! First we will tackle painting the living room and Henry's bedroom. Stay tuned... I need all the ideas and help I can get:)!

Mini me

All dressed up and no place to go, Henry decided to clean, just like his mama. Don't tell dada's, but when you spend 90% of your time with your female half, you tend to lean in that direction. I know that will change as Henry learns to hunt, mow the lawn, 4 wheel, and snowmobile, but for now, I enjoy the special moments I have with my bubba. Isn't he just about the most handsome little man?

A fun evening with the Berg Family

Henry and Ms Sadie spending some quality time together.

Lil Holly eating some pizza..What a dollie!

Henry has some really amazing relatives, come to think of it, Henry's a pretty lucky kid in that department. He's got so many close family members including great grandparents and even second cousins that are all very much a part of his life. One such family are the Bergs Kevin, Em, Charlie, Tommy, Sadie, and little Holly. They joined up and grampa Ken for supper last evening after attending a high school football game at the Dakota Dome. Sadie thought Henry was the cat's meow and was constantly wanting to be by him, play with him, sit by him, and squeeze his cheeks. He enjoyed all of the attention especially after his hard week at the daycare.

Return of the biter

So Henry's got an amazing daycare provider and 4 of the 5 kids that go to her are wonderful. Henry even has a girlfriend at the sitter, however, there is one monster who won't leave my baby alone. Since he's been going to the sitter, he's gotten bit 6 or 7 times by the same child. I have tried talking to the provider, she assured me the mother has been notified and is working with the child. That was 2 months ago. In the last week, Henry's gotten bite three more times. TWICE IN ONE DAY! WHAT DO I DO??? I am at my wits end. I had to discover the last 3 bites myself. The latest were last night while I was giving my baby bubba a bath. Two very distinct sets of bite marks on the same arm. HELP ME!!!!!!!! ANY ADVICE??

To the park we go...

Dada's is putting Henry in his swing.

Henry and dada's getting ready to slide down the slide.

Next summer bubba, next summer:)!

In hopes of enjoying the most of this beautiful day, dada's, Henry and I went to the park. Henry hasn't actually been to the park since he started walking due to rain and crappy weather in general. His eyes lit up as we approached the gaggle of kids. As soon as we let him out of his wagon, he toddled off towards the play equipment. Dada helped him slide down the slide and pushed him in the swing. Then Henry decided he was big enough to make his way towards the big kids play area. Mama spotted a kid with a mask on, and decided that it wasn't worth the risk of contracting H1N1 so we made our way home before Henry could decide he wasn't big enough to wrestle with the other kids!

It's just you and me sister!

So, my dearest friend Jordan and I have officially made the leap into business. The photography businesses to be exact. Yes some of you might be saying, Jessica, there is no way that your pictures are good enough to take in any income. And yes, you would probably be right, BUT Jordan's are and with a little help on the business side, Jordan K Photography is sure to be a success. And you just never know, with a little time and help, this ol' girl might just surprise you. Here are a couple shots from tonights session. A SWEET little girl named Hope with the most captivating blue eyes. She's 6 months old and just the most well behaved little thing!

All Hallow's Eve 2009

The group! Henry LOVES LOVES LOVES these kids!

Henry and his vampire buddy, Hudson! They are so freakin' cute!!

Henry digging in his loot...

I think grandma and grandpa where having just as much fun at Henry!!

Henry had a BLAST last night. I think it was a very successful Halloween for the little man. Our golish friends the Krogman's came over, and after a quick photo session, playing wildly in the yard, and getting some candy, they were off. Henry was all dressed up so we headed down to Han's the babysitter's for a little lovin' and some more candy. Grandma and grandpa Schulte came down to see their little man all dressed up, and Henry handed out and ate candy the rest of the evening. His pirate costume was ADORABLE!!!!!!! Definitely a change from last year how they change so quickly!
