Hurt Toe

I was walking through our little hallway and kicked Hanks box of blocks so hard I thought I possibly broke my little toe. I hobbled into the living room and sat down. Hank was concerned so he came over and squished it and kissed it. Later on I said wow my toe really hurts! He looked at me with a serious face and said you have two choices mom 1. go to the doctor 2. massage your toe. "since you took the massage classes you should do the massage because you can do it better mom, I can try if you want me to".

All this made me think about how lucky I am that Hank is so down to earth and honest. I love how smart he is!

Our Thanksgiving

First we went to Mom's house and had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa Great, Mom, Bri and Kim. Hank had a lot of fun playing with Uncle Briant and it was fun to watch them.

THEN.... we went to Uncle Art's house and Hank had a great time playing with all of Uncle Art's toys. I don't think pick up sticks will ever be the same! It was nice to hang out with everybody.

At one point Grandpa B was asleep and Hank went up to him and pounded on the pillow in his lap three times really quickly and woke him up. It was hilarious! I think that both of them enjoyed playing with Uncle Art's tops.

Just a little update on Aunt Kim...she has a little (tiny) belly. I wasn't able to capture it for Abby and Emily very well but it is there! You guys will be able to see it at christmas.

Thankful

I have had a hard time keeping up on posting on the blog. Guess life just gets too busy sometimes. Then I try to remind myself to slow it down and stop and enjoy. I have been doing this more lately and have found that I love the time I get to spend when life has slowed down a little bit. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving here are a few of the things that I am thankful for this year.

1. Hank
2. My Family
3. My health
4. Ability to work
5. Spending time with Hank that is not rushed

I am sure I can think of a hundred more but the important thing is that I am thankful that I am living and enjoying my time with an awesome five year old!

PTL...Guitar Hero

So I just wanted to post some pics of the great stage that my brother and dad helped set up for the guitar hero tournament that the PTL did for fellowship night last Saturday. It was so much fun. Exhausting but fun.

PTL Meeting

So I was at a parent teacher league meeting last night and guess what! I volunteered to be the co-president for next year. I think I am crazy and I will be hitting up all of my friends and family for suggestions on organizing different events and for getting the other parents involved. I will have to get more parent involvement so that I have people to delegate too.

It will be fun and I have already been so involved this year that it won't really be that much more work (hopefully!)

Girlfriend or Future wife?

So I asked Hank the other night if he played with his girlfriend at school.

Me: Did you and E play today?
Hank: Yeah
Me: Did you hold her hand?
Hank: Yes, Mom E said she is going to marry me, but I am NOT going to marry her
Me: (after I was out of shock) When is she marrying you?
Hank: Not until we are a little bit older
Me: Well you have to wait until you are both done with school, college too. Maybe until you are about thirty.

I just couldn't beleive it! I guess since this is his second girlfriend that I am going to be in a lot of trouble. I spoke with E grandma and she was shocked at how much they play together becuase E is such a girly girl. But Hank will play almost anything.

Fall = Leaves

Hank and I had a great time cleaning up the leaves that had fallen. He is great with the leaf blower.

Congratulations to my Brother

So I know that I am having a new Niece or Nephew.... (I know but won't tell their story)

I am so excited and I wanted to congratulate my brother and his wife. They are going to be awesome parents and I am glad that they have been a part of Hanks life.

November already.

I can't beleive that it is already November. Time has just flown by this year. I had Hank's first Parent Teacher conference on Halloween, and he is doing great. The teacher said he likes to think outside the box. Imagine that! We are getting our second snow here in the valley today and I am excited for winter to begin. Hank helped grandpa get the snow plow running last night and he is excited to help use it this year. And I am happy that he is big enough to help more with the shoveling also. Hank and I played video games last night and it is fun to see how he tries to win and then just adjusts quickly to losing and goes for being the most horrible driver in the cars game. I am grateful that he only likes to play video games once in awhile. Not much else to blog about. I am excited for Thanksgiving coming up and we have to get out our decorations soon.
