A little funny for your day...

So I don't have any pictures, but I will have lots from Halloween after the weeekend. I do, however, have a funny for you today. Matt woke up to get in the shower this morning and came out of the bedroom to find the lights in Henry's blaring away. He expected to find a toddler destroying his room but instead he found little Henry Marvin sound asleep on his pull out couch curled up with his blankie and pillow sound asleep!!!! I LOVE IT:)! At least he's staying in his room and being quiet about it. It's stories like these that make me enjoy being a mom so much...

Round two...

What started in August as another right of passage for my sweet boy, turned into a 3 week nightmare for Matt and I. We thought that since Henry was two we should try the big boy bed. Since his crib converted into a kind of half toddler bed, we gave it a whirl. For the first week, we could hardly get him to stay in bed. It was so bad at one point we were locking the door on him. How horrible did I feel just admitting that right now?!

After three exhausting weeks, we gave in and put the tired bubba back into his safety net, his beloved crib. For two months, we were home free 12 hour nights and 2 to 2 1/2 hour naps during the day. Then one fateful evening while Matt was out of town, I heard the door slam downstairs, my baby bubba had managed to climb OUT of his crib. He was so proud of himself! He beamed at me, "Mama I sleep with you, K?"

So we are entering round two of the big boy bed saga. With a totally new bed in hand and Toy Story sheets surrounded by every known stuffed animal on the blanket, we will venture forward into the world of the unknown. Pray for us first timers!!!

Seriously, could he look any more grown up on this picture???!!! *tear*

Cheryl and Bill

Since beginning my tenure as receptionist, I have come to know an amazing medical staff. This office is filled with extra ordinary individuals. One such lady is one of the nurses, Cheryl. Her and her significant other, Bill, are two exceedingly loving individuals. They are so good with each other and both so nice to my son, who had to tag along for our photo session. I hope you enjoy your sneek peek Cheryl. I had such a nice time with you guys this evening!

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend Henry and I made the trek to Iowa by ourselves for the first time to visit grandma Kim, papa Jeff, and uncle Nick. In typical teenage fashion, Nick was either sleeping, taking his PSAT's or gaming it up with his friends, so the rest of us ventured to the local pumpkin patch to see what we could see. We saw big tractors, pumpkins, roosters, and a kitty cat! The weather was perfect and so was my little man! Papa, I want this pumpkin and this one and this one...

Wittmuss Family...Take TWO...

OK so I could seriously post pictures all night from our session this evening with the Wittmuss family. The photos turned out that well. I will only post a few for mom this evening. I think they turned out fabulously and really captured this families fun loving nature. I L.O.V.E these two kids. Ella is about the most well behaved fun loving girl I have ever come across and little Theo is a twin in personality to my Henry. Sarah is sort of a kindred spirit as we are more alike then she probably realizes. So to you Wittmuss family, enjoy!!!!

There are more to come, mom. I'm going to have a burn a disk for this one!

Ode to 50 years

What do you say to two of the most influencial people in your life when you are asked to take their 50th wedding anniversary pictures. You say YES, of course!

How do you describe how important they are to you....hopefully through my lens....

My grandma and grandpa George are two of the most amazing indivduals anyone will ever meet. Their kindness and generosity as been felt by people all over the globe. I am so fortunate to have had these two there while I was growing up to guide me and offer me shelter at times when I most needed family in my life. They have raised 4 daughters together and are still married! Yes, folks that in and of itself is a major feet. I look to their wisdom and guidance as I raise my own son. So to you grandma and grandpa, I love you more than words can express. I owe so much of who I am to your strength and love! Thank you, thank you for loving me unconditionally and Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cousins...

Henry got to spend some incredible time with his cousins this weekend. I wish these guys lived closer because Henry just adores both his cousins Gage and Gavin to pieces. It was funny to watch because Henry would follow Gage around and Gavin would follow Henry around! Too precious...Well my little man is up so I'll just share pictures with you for now:)

Gage and Henry buddies forever!

The boys!

Gavers!

He's gonna get those big boys!
