Teeth

Well, Henry now has two canine teeth and his two front, bottom teeth. I hope other ones come in soon or else he will look like one of those jack-o-lanterns =) I can see more teeth making their way done. I think baby teeth are the coolest things because one day they aren't there and then a month later....they are so big!! and Henry is learning just what those sharp little things do...He is learning to bite into things, bite off pieces and all that. Its fun to watch him explore with his teeth.

Now we are going outside to play in our little blowup pool. The weather is supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow so we may head to the beach again....or maybe the mall to get out of the heat! Plus get Henry in his pool. AHHH you have to love summertime. Sun tea with ice, bbq's, firepit with friends making 'smores. I can't wait to have more corn on the cob, eat some home grown tomatoes and watch Henry eat them as well! HAHAHA

A quick trip to Idaho

Henry with Grandma and Grandpa Cudaback...the haven't seen him since he was 3 weeks old.

The happy couple

Crazy Uncle Jeff with Henry

Happy Aunt Manda and Henry

for Kate's brother's wedding. Boy was it a quick trip. We drove through the night because we thought it would be better for Henry since he is already asleep...worked out pretty well I think. We stayed in Twin Falls with Brad's parents. We had a belated birthday party for Brad at Stefanie's work...at a Comfort Inn hotel. It was fun. Delilah and Henry played with the box from the sweatshirt Brad got. It was hilarious because Henry was playing with one side and Delilah the other and then Henry sat on his to play with Delilah's. Overall they played very well together. I think a few times Henry was like, "come on, there is so much to explore in this house/hotel lobby....why are you just sitting there". It was cute to watch them together.

We made a quick stop off at the Poes in Pocatello- Ray and Tannya, Jennifer and her kids, as well as met up with Cousin Diana at the wedding...her fiance was in my brother's wedding. It was good to see them and have them see Henry. It had been since Christmas since they saw him...and he had grown so much!

At Jeff & Camille's wedding (in Pocatello) we had a great time, hanging out with family & friends as well as dancing and watching the cute couple exchange vows. All in all it was a great trip. We were happy to make the drive and be able to be there for my brother and our new sister-in-law for their big day! Henry was a trooper, being handed off from person to person, eating all his food from Grandma Cudaback (she fed him) and then staying up til past 10. He was hanging out with Daddy while Mama and Aunt Amanda danced it up on the dance floor. Brad was walking around with Henry...mostly trying to keep his little ears away from the loud music and Henry was calling out "Mommm Mommm Mommma" and then he found me...I took Henry in my arms and within a minute he was alseep. So we said our goodbyes and good wishes to the bride and groom. We are so happy for them!!!

We headed back to Twin Falls to stay the night...thinking we were getting up to leave by 8 am...but we slept in until 8 and then had a lazy morning and left around 11 with a stop at the cemetary to say hello to Great Grandma and Grandpa Poe. Henry and Brad had some time alone to talk to them. It was emotional. But we got on the road around noon and headed on home. We took our time, we stopped to eat at a pizza place in Truckee and then made it home by 11:30. We had to load everything from the pick-up into the house because the house was fumigated while we were gone...and little did we know we wouldn't have hot water until Wednesday...we got home on Sunday.

A day at the beach!

face plant into the sand

About to feel the coldness of the ocean

Daddy and Henry on the beach

Chillin' on the blanket

Well, Henry had his first real experience with the beach this time! We have taken him when he was about 3 weeks old...so that wasn't anything worth telling about but now we have something to say. Henry loved to play in the sand...crawling all over in it. He actually didn't eat any...putting it in his mouth via his hands. BUT he did take two face plants into the sand, one on each cheek and got sand in his mouth...possibly his eyes and up his nose. Needless to say he wasn't a happy camper but was in good spirits. He played in the ocean with Daddy and Mama, seperately. We needed someone to take the pictures. We were all enjoying the sun and the beautiful day. We think Henry had a good time hanging out with new friends (a 1 year old and a 2 year old.)
