My 4 children

My beautiful children. They were all matching in this picture. I love matching them. :)

Luke (7), Beau (2.5), Henry (5) and Lola Cate 2.5 months)

Teeth

Henry lost his first tooth yesterday!! Just like Luke's first one, he lost his tooth at school. Henry said he looked down at lunch and it was just there, on the table. :) He already has a new tooth coming in where he lost it and the tooth next to it is loose as well. The tooth fairy came and left Henry $2.00 in his tooth pillow (thanks mom for the pillow!)

Henry's 4 year old check up

The big 4 year old check up! Toolkit like a champ...with the help of Popsicle bribery. :) and our awesome nurse Martha. 

98th percentile in height and weight. Henry continues to be on the fast track to growing bigger. He is only 6 pounds shy of Luke's weight. He weighs 47 pounds. And sadly I forgot the height. But he is growing into size 6 clothes and can wear many of Luke's clothes. In fact he loves to go through Luke's clothes to pick out something to wear. Bothers Luke so!

He was a little nervous. I could tell by the way he was holding hands/fingers. 

He let me pick out his clothes thankfully but he won the shoes. Atleast they are cute! And the office loved them. 

He is paci free and 100% potty trained for almost a year now. Our big things to tackle this year is sleeping all night and in his bed (Henry has never been a good sleeper) and improving eating habits. 

Henry's birthday take 2

 We finally had time to celebrate Henry's birthday at home... Mom and dad came up and we had ice! Henry got an easy bake oven. So cool.

So grown up. 

Henry is 4!

Our sweet Henry turned 4 today! We are currently at the beach with Papa and Anny so we celebrated here.  We will celebrate with the rest of the family when we return. As promised at 4 he had to give up his pacifier. Finally. So today we have been paci free so far. Wish us luck tonight. Here are a few pictures of our celebration.  

Henry hacked for this cake 

 So we did our best and this is what our version turned out like. 

Pretty good for making a cake in a hotel room. And he was pleased. 

Some of his birthday presents so far were a jack hammer, a boy elf (like the one Luke got for Christmas), Legos (that Luke is thoroughly enjoying), a new lawn mower and a treasure chest full of goodies. I'd say he has had a pretty good day so far. 

Later we are going to go to the hotel water park and ride the water slides. Earlier we hit the lazy river, the pool and the hot tub. Luke went to the beach with Papa. 

Birthday Boy

Luke turned 4 last Thursday, December 6th! I cannot believe we have a four year old and I cannot believe how fast the past four years have gone! Our family of four celebrated Luke's birthday on his birthday. Today, Sunday, we celebrated his birthday with the rest of the family! Anny, Papa, Jimmy, Yoo-Hoo, Uncle Chris, RaRa, Adaline, Aunt Natalie, Uncle Patrick, Emma Kate and Tyler all came to celebrate with us! Luke was so excited to have everyone here! Its always fun to get all the children together! Thank you for helping us celebrate Luke's birthday!!

 A farm cake for the big boy! Our gift to him was a "farm set", by request of course.

 My handsome fellow with one of his favorites, Woody from the Toy Story movie-Thanks Anny and Papa!

 Four fingers!!

 Just a little embarassed that everyone was singing for him! He is a shy, bashful one!

He chose a pig for his birthday treat!
