Summer fun

Henry has wasted no time splashing around in his new water table that he got for his birthday from his cousin Greta! Loves it:) My arm was getting sore today holding a cup way up high and splashing it all over...again, and again, and again, and again. He thought getting splashed was hilarious....that is until he tripped and fell into the glass sliding door and got one nice goose egg on his little head, ouch:(

Happy Birthday to Henry.....again!

Henry's birthday bash was quite the par-tay! We lucked out with (semi) nice weather (minus the mist and wind I guess) and had a wonderful group of people over to our house. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody that made it, we had a blast! The MN Twins fans were in full force....weiners on the grill....a well manicured lawn.....I could have sworn we were at Target Field:)

Once again, the boy did not want anything to do with his cake. He loved the singing and applause, but no cake. This was the extent of his "1st birthday cake face." I know, terribly messy!

He did however have quite an interest in that keg!

Henry had so many nice friends that came to his party! He's such a lucky guy!
Amerie and her parents, Nick and Koryn.

Jack, the balloon lover!

Finley, the Twins cheerleader. Finley loves her cake so much that her mom thought she and Henry would make a great couple....she could eat all his desserts when they go out to eat:)

Baby Owen....yes, some White Sox fans managed to sneak in too!
Owen's mommy, Lisa, and Megan.

G-ma and G-pa Olin with cousin Riley and Henry.

Poor baby was so exhausted (at 6:45pm of course) that he couldn't even open up all his nice presents that night. He was quite spunky the next morning (after 12 1/2 hours of sleep) and tore apart all his great gifts! Thank you!

Riley brought him his very own ATV. We got such a kick out of watching the little babes ride around:)

Cousin Greta decided that pushing that button to make it go wasn't much fun, so she asked Henry to push her instead....all the way down the driveway! The wind was blowing through his hair, he was getting stinky armpits, and his heart was a-racing after that!

Once again, we can't say Thank You enough to everyone for making it to the party! What a memorable day:)

Happy Father's Day

What a guy, that Henry, he got his pops a Father's Day present that the whole family can enjoy.....a bike trailer! We enjoyed our first ride today after a few tears over the helmet-wearing :( Does this thing look cushy or what?! He sure knew what he was doing when he picked this out for his Dad.
I love you Daddy!
Love, Henry

What a day!

Message for the day
What an incredibly fun day the Krump Krew had yesterday for our sweet little baby Henry Thomas' 1st birthday!

Henry is diggin' his new music set from his Tante, thank you!

Safety first, Henry. Such a good rule follower :)

This boy definitely was NOT his mother's son during birthday-cake-eating! Henry had absolutely no interest in the cake. He whined until he got his strawberries and blueberries instead. Check out that look of disgust on his face when staring at that delicious piece of cake sitting on his plate.

I'm one, Oma and Opa, I'm one year old today!

There's really no shortage of kisses for Henry around here!

For the afternoon, we headed down to Minneapolis and made a stop for some birthday ice cream at Sebastian Joe's! Once again, no interest in ice cream....who's kid is this?! Not even a taste of a homemade waffle cone would do it. Cheerios instead, please!

Brian and Lance invited us over to watch the Uptown Minneapolis Criterium bike race. We were able to stay and watch the women's race, they zoomed right down their street 30 times and Henry loved it! He was mesmerized by those bikes.

Henry and Brian

The Minneapolis po-po were riding around on their bikes. Henry was pulled over for partying too hard on his b-day.

A family photo op!

Wait, I hear the bikes coming again:)

After a day of partying hard, here's what I saw 2 minutes into the car-ride home. He managed to stay up until 7:15pm last night, and then crashed hard!
What an exciting year it's been, Henry Thomas. We love you!
