Happy 1st Birthday Henry!

Our little baby is 1 Year Old!

(Well, technically it's tomorrow - September 5th, but we had these balloons from a PTO event, so I had to take his picture with them before they deflated).

Henry took his first steps on August 27th, but he still prefers just standing there. We finally have his allergies under control & he really is a very happy little boy (with little red curls I should add)!

Lake Coeur d'Alene...

We took the boys to Lake Coeur d'Alene today & had SO MUCH fun!

My little sister Ciarra is visiting, so she played with the boys in the water. Henry loved floating in his tube!

Henry also liked to point at the Seagulls - they cracked him up.

Patrick & Jack had fun digging in the sand. What a fun summer day!

Getting Closer...

Henry is standing on his own now, still hasn't taken a step forward. He is also starting to drink from a Sippy Cup (he LOVES apple juice).

Henry's skin is starting to clear-up. We took him to an alllergist & found out he is not allergic to potatoes, instead he is allergic to:

Peanuts
Milk
Eggs
Cat Dander

We cut back on his dairy (he'll move onto Soy milk instead of whole milk once he is weaned), started applying a cream & he cleared-up in about a week! He seems SO much happier.

Happy Birthday Pancake...

Patrick turned 3 today! We celebrated with pizza, cake and presents. Of course the highlight was his new Lightning McQueen! He can't wait to cruise! Ka-Chow!

Camping at Union Creek!

Here's some pictures from our camping trip to Union Creek. It was the first time the boys have gone camping & the first time they have gone fishing. They had a blast. Their favorite part was sleeping in a tent. Jack & Patrick caught 3 fish altogether. Thanks Papa Rodgers, Keli, Sky, Sandy & Roger Dodger for the great time!

The last picture is of the "egg tree" - the campers in the site next to us left their eggs in this tree & we thought it was just too weird not to take a picture.

Cousins!

Jack, Patrick and Henry got to meet their cousin Brooklyn for the first time last week. They love him - Jack now has "Brooklyn" saved as a player on his Leapster :-)

Thanks Aunt Heidi for bringing your cute little guy down for a visit!
