Just Another Harry Day

One time there was a little boy who went to bed super early because the babysitter did not follow his mom's directions. He decided that he would wake up super early and why not,there are so many fun things to do in the cool weather! He went to his favorite restaurant!

He went to see the construction of the new Crystal Bridges Museum! This was one of the cooliest things he has ever seen! He likes to talk about pulleys, cranes, construction hats, and other tools!

There are many cool places in Bentonville and not only is the trail that you can see the making of the big museum, but there is this fabulous flat park that is catered to dogs! If you know Harry, he LOVES dogs!Harry rode his bike for over an hour in that park! The more he rode the more arched his mom's back became! This bike was the best $15 his mommy has ever spent!

After a long solid nap Harry decided to paint some canvases for Georgia Kelley!

These are the kind of days that Harry loves the most; unplanned!

Drivers Beware

I have been super motivated to post more lately, can you tell? I get blogger burn out quite a bit. I hope I can keep this going!
Harry got a "big boy" bicycle this weekend! As if he needed another riding toy; I got the bike and helmet for $15 at a consignment sale. I am a sucker for riding toys....strange! I got it for him on Thursday and he was so excited he wore the helmet home! He put it on himself. He jumped on and had a few problems getting the peddles going. That same night he was headed to Mimi and Papa's house for a visit. He wanted to take his bike and lucky for me Tyler and Papa taught him how to ride efficiently! He is a master now, with training wheels of course!

These are pictures of him just starting out! His helmet was a bit big. When Chad got home he worked out all the kinks! I think Harry was more excited to show Chad than riding! Chad was out of town to see the first independent rides.

This picture is my favorite. Harry came in while he and Chad were outside and told me he had to have his baseball helmet. He was acting like it was life or death. He put it on and told me that was how he was going to ride his bike! When I tried to take pictures he whined, "I don't want to say cheese anymore!" He hates getting his picture made! Isn't that annoying!

American Idol Not Teen Idol

Kim and I have been to many concerts together in our day, but this may have been the best of all! Oh how things change in 10+years! Kim gave me one of the coolest birthday gifts, tickets to the American Idol tour O9! It was a pure blast! Kim and I wore green for Kris Allen! I was surprised at how my opinions changed of the contestants after watching them live! My favorites were Lil, Matt, and Kris of course! Matt sang "Georgia On My Mind" and he was absolutely amazing! He was a pure entertainer!

Lil's pictures did not turn out, but the chick can rock out! I danced the most to her songs! She was so fun to watch! I am not going to lie and say that Adam does not have mad vocals, because the guy can perform! His dance moves were very interesting during that last song! Kris Allen had the crowd, but he did not sing as much as we would have liked! We called the Hogs!He sang his hits and they were wonderful!Then the whole crew came out and jammed! It was a great concert! I still do not like Megan, she just rubs me wrong!The guys enjoyed it too, but they were not dancing as much as they could have! Isn't it funny how your perception of things change once you become a mom? Kim and I both either talked or texted our sitters during the concert. We looked at mothers and felt pity that they had their toddlers with them! I will say we still know how to have a good time! It was a great date night and I don't think we could have enjoyed the night any more! We loved hanging out with the Halls!

I have to thank my parents for watching Harry! I think he had 20 or so Popsicles with my dad. I am not exaggerating! Dad gave him one for breakfast!

Stichin' Sisters and Kitchen Queens

Thursday was one of those days that I just had FUN! I was able to hang out with best friends and new friends doing what I like to do best!
On Thursday morning we sent the big kids to camp and pulled out the machines! Kathy, Holly and I have been talking about getting together for a sewing session for months and it finally happened! I want you to know I am really concentrating in this picture on making the perfect ruffle for Miss GK! Kathy created a dress, Holly made a hooter hider, and I worked on Georgia Kelley's bedding and recovering her chair! We really enjoyed ourselves! I am hoping we can make this a happening thing once school starts up!

My neighbor, Ashley invited me to one of her monthly events that they call Kitchen Queens! Since Chad is out of town I asked the Ware's to watch Harry and he may have had as much fun as I did! We had a ball! These girls are just too much fun! I totally copied this pictures from Ashley and Tara's blogs! Please don't call the copyright blog police on me! This month's theme was Asian and I confess I threw in PF Changs and didn't say a word, except to the host and the girls who invited me! What is more fun is that most of these girls have blogs that I could stalk for hours!

Snap Shots

I could not help but post these pictures. Can there be a better backdrop for such a treasure?

This was our family self-taken photo. I may sound cliche, but my happiness is driven by these two guys! We are all ready for Georgia Kelley to join in!!

3rd or 4th Annual Weekend Gettaway with the Fowlers

We had another fabulous weekend with the Fowlers, despite the lack of pictures I have! We decided to be "crazy" and hit Branson with kids instead of our regular summer gettaway at the river and a cabin without babies! The only two things I really like at Branson are White Water and the Dixie Stampede! I don't even like the shopping there that much(although you can probably tempt me to go)! I may just be a snob, but the strip just got on my nerves! I hope it is a pregnancy thing and I am not going to be a vacation snob!

I have been to SDC twice this year and one time it was too cold to breath and the next time it was to hot to walk! I think White Water was up our alley! Harry LOVED it!

Kaleb was a little more independent for his own good! He is the best natured baby! Harry was obsessed with him! Katie has a lot more pictures on her blog!

The most fun was had when the babies went to bed! We laughed and laughed! Don't you love the grill the guys bought on their long trip to the grocery store? It was a fabulous weekend with great friends!

A Harry Fourth

We have come a long way Yankee Doodle!

The parade wasf un, but working on his golf swing was a bigger priority!

We had a very fun fourth weekend! Friday night we spent with friends while all the kids stayed at our house with a sitter! The next night we hung out with neighbors and mooched off every one's fireworks; there were plenty to go around! It was relaxing to be at home for the weekend!

Harry isn't Hairy Anymore

Baby needed a trim and ended up getting it all whacked off! I would never had done it if he had not been called a girl three too many times!

A couple of days before the cut; you can see the curls. You can see how happy I am, let's say that is how I felt about his hair before the first hair cut!

He didn't like the water so much!

Paci made him much more relaxed.The outcome. I am not going to say I hate it, but he does look much older than he should. I am getting use to it!
