Harryisms

Today was Harry's first day of school! He goes on Tuesdays and Thursday to the same place he went the last two years but for a less amount of hours and days. He LOVES it there! I dropped him off and he ran to his class! When I picked him up he gave me a huge hug and then told me that he was going to stay longer. He then threw a short fit and was on his way! He talked about his day the whole way home! I enjoyed the day too:)
I wanted to write down a few Harryisms before I forget them.
I was in the car and I asked Harry who made the trees, grass, etc.. and he said God for all of them until I asked him who made the rain. He paused and said, "Noah"! If you know how much Harry loves animals, it is not hard to realize his love for Noah. Noah is a god to Harry! I guess there could be worse Heroes!
Harry is very aggressive, not in a bad way. He gets really excited and starts punching the air. He will sometimes get really close to me and pretend to punch me, but not follow through. He then says, "I can hit Daddy, Papa, Scott, Paul, Tyler and Bobo."
Every time I am on the phone he guesses who I am on the phone with and then asks what we are talking about. Sometimes he eaves drops and will ask me questions about it later.
He craves social interaction. This gets a little old, but we are working on it:)
Anything that is pink is of course Georgia Kelleys!
When we are at Wal-Mart he starts the "I want" fit and I tell him that we buy toys and presents for other people not for ourselves. He will then say, "Georgia Kelley needs that." The other people he will mention are Brooklyn and Caroline. They need cars and footballs:)
After spending the night with my parents and eating probably 50 Popsicles he is addicted! He asks for them every hour! We went by their house on Sunday for one hour and he ate four! He will tell me he wants Bobo's Popsicles not ours!
He loves trucks, trains, and cars. I guess that is no surprise.
He still loves riding his bike and swimming. We are still able to swim and I am taking advantage of our time together. My biggest fear with having another baby is hurting Harry's feelings. Right now we wake up and I ask Harry what he wants to do each day. He will usually say ride his bike at the dog park or go swimming. We do that and I am able to interact with him. I will feel so bad when I am not able to play with him as much. I know everyone child with a sibling has gone through it, but it can't be easy!

Hot Springs with the Halls

We went to the Hall's house for the weekend in Hot Springs! It was a long drive, but well worth it! We had so much fun with our great friends! Let's hope that Adalie is more excited about Harry hugging her when she is a little older!
Kim and Adam have the two most well behaved kids on the planet! I seriously need to learn their tricks!
On Sunday morning Harry asked where his friend was; he was talking about Adam! I think Adam letting him help drive the boat may have just put him high on Harry's list!
Kim and Adam can make some mean peanut butter ice cream! I requested it and boy did it taste as good as I remembered! Harry and Adalie loved it too!We got the joy of visiting with our friends the McMennamy's on Sunday after church. They moved down to HSV from Bentonville and we missed them so much we had to make a special trip to see them! You can always expect a good time with the Halls and they did not let us down this weekend either! I was sad it was so short! We hope to see them again soon!

Harry Gets Stuck

What makes this funny is that Harry really got his feelings hurt when we watched it and I laughed. He told me to not ever play it again!

Harry Gets His Groove On

It may be a parent thing, but we think our child is so funny! Here he is at Kia's wedding breaking it down . The funny thing is that this video was taken at the end of the night! He had been dancing long before this video was taken! Don't you think he should have a dance party for his birthday?

Harry Plays

If you know Harry, then you know Harry LOVES people. He is much happier when there are people around than when there are not. We find ourselves with friends every day at some point and I very rarely think to take pictures. I decided to get the ones I have taken, although some are not so good, and throw them in a mauge pauge post. What is sad is I don't have any pictures with Harry and his cousins or play dates at the pool! We spend a lot of time with Harry's cousins and at the pool with friends! Maybe I can work on that! First up Mr. Payton, or Pay Pay if you are a Ware! This is Harry's best friend from his class!

Lindsey is also one of his best friends! His mom and I really the ones who have the most fun on our play dates! Harry is exhausted here! Can you tell? On a side note, we think our child may be the only three year old who has to have his paci and Shaggy about 50 times a day!

This is the only decent picture I got a Jump Zone. This is the best place in the world to wear your toddler out! We will be frequents at Jump Zone once GK gets here! Jake is the kid behind Harry. Jake is another one of Harry's best buds! I know Harry's best friend list sounds like mine!

I decided to make this post after our visit with the Millers! Harry had more fun at their house this morning then we did at Disney Land in July and I am not exaggerating! He is still talking about the ducks and the four wheeler! I enjoyed our visit too!


Own taught Harry the ropes on how to feed the ducks and drive the four wheeler. I think Harry would really like one of these. He begged to go back to Mrs. Linda and Owen's house!



Welcome Miss Mallory Kate

Miss Mallory, Harry's fourth girl cousin, was born yesterday afternoon! She weighed 8 lbs 6 ounces! She is absolutely beyond precious! I am sorry I do not have any clear pictures of her.

Harry and I got some one on one time with her this morning. I wish I would have taken pictures this morning because she looks so different today! We are excited that Georgia Kelley will have a cousin so close to her age! I am sure that they will be best friends!
Harry was much more interested in their goodies and Brooklyn than Mallory. I am hopeful that will change:) We love Mallory Kate!

Georgia Kelley's Little Rock Party/Shower

We were thrown a couple's shower in Little Rock this weekend! I never know how to word events like these! I have chosen a few and I hope those who read this do not think I am being cliche or boasting! Word 1: Blessed We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends in Little Rock! Last night we had a mix of our friends from college and from Chad's high school! We feel like our Little Rock friends are some of our closest even though they live far away!The Fowlers and Halls are two of the best party throwers we know! What makes it even better is we were the guests of honor! Actually, Georgia Kelley was and they knew how much she loves Lilly Pulitzer prints and colors! That leads me to Word #2: Appreciative We are so thankful for not only the gifts, but the strong relationships we have been given! I could go on and on about how overwhelmed I felt by the love they have shown us! Darren and Jamie are getting married in December! Darren and Chad played basketball at HU together! We have a "lotta love" for this couple!
If you know Beth, you know there was a lot of laughing!

Word #3: FUN I guess that everyone thinks their friends are fun to be around! Chad and I talked about how this group was one that we could just let our hair down with. We laughed and laughed! The best thing about these friends is that they get us! If you saw the gifts that were given, you would really know that they get ME! I love the friendships that are close enough to be unconditional; I would say we have that with all the couples there! We have a lot of years invested with all of them!
Lucky for us Matt and Beth were in town from Michigan!
We could not have been with better company and I am so sad I didn't get pictures of all the attendants!

There's One in Every Crowd

We had a fabulous time at Kia and Matt's wedding on Saturday night. We are so excited to see Matt and Kia finally get married! They were a beautiful couple and they hosted a very fun and enjoyable night! I don't' know if anyone had as much fun as Mr. Harry! He danced the night away. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! He was very excited the was invited! He was obsessed with the princess!

Here is a picture with the bride, Kim and, James! She as a busy little princess! The wedding and reception was just superb! Every detail was gorgeous!

This is right when we arrived to the reception! Those two were ready to rock! The wedding was beautiful; I wish I would have taken more pictures of the decor!

He doesn't stop dancing! Harrison Dean the Dancing Machine! We had such a fun time with the Hall family! Their kids are as easy as easy to be around as they are!

I got a little cuddle time with Mr. James! He is one precious boy!
Harry felt the same way I did! Actually, Chad held James more than Harry and I did! He was pretty impressed with how sweet this baby was too!
