First Camping Trip

The Henry family went on our first camping trip this past weekend. We loaded up the tent, boat and supplies and headed over to Jordan Lake. We spent a fun filled weekend on the boat, roasting marshmallows and swatting bugs. The boys had a blast and Mom & Dad were even in total relax mode. We are looking forward to heading out for another trip soon.

The boys.

Everyday with these three is a new adventure. Dalton and Ian have settled into their life with Mommy. They love going to the gym with Mommy and playing with their new friends. They are becoming excellent shoppers and experts on all of the local playgrounds. Colin amazes me how well he is doing in school. He gets up everyday and puts on his backpack and goes into that big school all by himself. He has a great set of friends and is learning so many new things each day. We are coming to the end of the school year and getting ready for a fun filled summer. We have a camping excursion and trip to Jersey planned. We also have a lot a boating planned as well.

Soccer

Dalton and Colin had a wonderful soccer season this year. Dalton went from not moving during the first game to actively chasing the ball and scoring several goals for the other team. It was a lot of fun to watch his growth. He loves the game and is sad that he doesn't get to play right now. Colin has improved greatly as well. He has an excellent kick. They are all signed up for next season. By next spring maybe we will have 3 on the team.

The new boat!

We are very excited to be the proud new owners of a Pontoon Boat. We are loving every minute of it. The boys have ventured out on the tube with Daddy and have even tried a little fishing. Mommy is working on her driving skills as one has to manage the boat while the other deals with the trailer. It's a learning experience but a fun one. Can't wait to take all of our family and friends out for a ride.

New Year

The new year has started busy as usual. I have been very bad about updating since Christmas but I will work on getting everything up to date.
We spent the New Year at our neighbor's the Bethea's. We did not make it the entire night and brought the kids home about 11 and put them to bed. Things certainly change as they get older. We spent a lazy day the first of the year hanging out at home and ended the day with our traditional dinner of pork & sauerkraut. We anticipate a very happy & healthy new year.

The following weekend we made a trip to PA for Steve's annual cabin trip. Terrance and Colin joined the group this year. They had a fun boy's weekend with four wheeler's and new four letter words for Colin. Dalton, Ian and myself made the trip but stayed down at Great Grandma's in Hanover. We got to spend the weekend with Grandma as well.
This past week the boys got a shot of excitement in the form of snow. About 6 inches to be exact. Colin was out of school already so we didn't technically get a snow day. We had lots of fun playing in the snow with all of our new snow gear. Daddy even came home early and took the boys for a ride in the snow on the four wheeler. It was fun while it lasted but glad that we don't get it all the time.
We ended the month with a birthday celebration for Colin. 5 years old, it's amazing where time has gone. He had a fun filled weekend starting with spiderman cupcakes at lunch at school. Later that night it was the monster truck show with Daddy and Dalton. The next day, his actual birthday was a small party of a few of his friends to the movies. We saw Hotel for Dogs and then came home and celebrated with more spiderman cupcakes.

January was a fun filled month and now its onto February!
