Sprinklers

There is a mall down the street from us that has outside sprinklers for the kids to run through.

Henry loves them. On this day Henry was running through the "little kid" spinklers. He really liked them... until he saw the "big kid" sprinkler. More photos to come....

The Zoo

Wow, it has been a while since our last post.

We have been busy, busy, busy here at the George house. Bryan has been working crazy hours and Henry and I have been busy enjoying some amazing Colorado spring weather.

Last week Henry and I ventured to the zoo with our friend Suzanne and her two little ones.... we had a great time.

I bet you are wondering, What did Henry like the best?

Was it the bears?

No.

Was it the friends?



Nope.


It was the ice cream.

Thanks to Mrs. Suzanne, we had soft serve ice cream. Henry loved it. I mean, thought he might die if he didn't have more immediately, kind of like it.
We will hopefully be going back to the zoo very soon, we have a membership now, so Henry can enjoy the zoo as often as his little heart desires....
We are headed to the pool for the first time this summer this coming Friday. Photos to come of that soon- we are hoping he loves it as much as he loves the bath tub and shower....

Always getting into something....

I think that it must be the pleasure of raising a boy that he is ALWAYS getting into something. If I turn my back for even a second......

He decided to empty out an entire package of baby wipes. They were all over the dinning room and as per usual, he decided to go ahead and suck on these lucky few....

Guess I should know, as soon as it is quiet.... TROUBLE.

Updates

These last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind for us here at the George house.

With travelling, weddings, and family emergencies we have kept busy and the month of April flew by!

Jeff, Bryan's dad, is still in the hospital. They have moved him to the rehab portion of the hospital where he will continue to improve. We aren't sure how long he will be there, but we are praying that it won't be longer than a month or two.

Henry is getting so big! He is now 13 months old (hard to believe that a year ago we were talking about having a one month old!) and is doing lots of new things! He talks non-stop (seriously, non-stop) whenever he is awake, he has learned that he can almost run (yikes, that is scarier than walking I think!) and he has really taken to being outside. Last week when the weather was in the 80s we headed over to a park that has a children's stream to play in- the water was ICE cold, but that didn't stop Henry from deciding that it would be great to get in and play. I made him hold my hand, but he was itching to get in and make a mess... guess we will have a little water baby on our hands this summer.

Other than that we are looking forward to some fun upcoming events- we are headed to Aunt Jayme and Uncle Tyler's wedding reception in Gering, NE this weekend, next weekend we will be celebrating mothers day (can't believe we are already at that point of the summer!) and in June we are headed to CA for 10 days- we will be staying with Bryan's mom at her sister and brother-in-laws house on the lake. Bryan and I will also venture to SF and Napa for a couple of days- sans Henry- our first LONG trip away from baby boy. We are so excited!

Hope that everyone is well and enjoying these first days of spring- it snowed 6 inches here at our house last night, but the sun is out now, so we are headed out to run some errands!


(Henry right before Easter- look at all of those teeth! There are 10 now!)

Jeff

We had a rough weekend here at the George house.

Sunday Jeff had a brain aneurysm. Luckily he was with Linda so they were able to get him to the hospital quickly. At this point we aren't sure what the final damage is, but he has shown AMAZING signs of recovery.

Bryan and I were both so excited that he recognized Henry, bringing us both to tears.

We love you Jeff.


Please keep pur family in your prayers in the coming weeks.

Easter!

We had a great Easter Sunday with our families... the weather wasn't very nice but Henry seemed to have a fun day anyway!

A few photos from the day:

Henry's Easter Basket from Momma and Daddy
Henry and Daddy all dressed up!

Our little family, no smiles, but no tears either!


Eating treats from his Easter eggs: goldfish, puffy crackers, m&m's!


At home, playing in his Easter basket, the grass was edible

Oh my, quite the mess!



Eating his peeps!



Yum!


Also a mess!

Happy Easter!

Easter Bunny

Went to see the Easter Bunny today with Nana.

Henry was such a good boy. He was pretty interested in the giant bunny, but he didn't cry. He gave us a few of his serious, concerned looks, and no real smiles- but no tears.

Can't wait for Easter!
