BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

We celebrated Henry's birthday this past weekend with the Wisconsin family. He will have another party for the Minnesota family on his actual birthday next weekend. It was nice to get done filling our 3rd silo on Wednesday, so we could finish up Henry's present in time for his party on Saturday. We made him a Train-Activity Table/Toy box.That sucker is heavy. I will post pics of it  on my Feats blog,'cause I wanted to keep this post with the "little" people pics.So, here goes.

Jessica and Andy brought their bounce house along, but it was cold and rainy, so Uncle Al accommodated  by letting them set it up in his shed across the road.

They had balloons in there to bat around as well as the jumping going on.

Henry, of course is mostly into crawling, so the older kids had to watch out for him. They were pretty good about it.

He did like to climb to stand on the side, though, and smush his face against the net.

Uncle Al playing with Henry on the side. Jayden finally figured out how to stand up and bounce, but she usually wasn't up too long before Bel and Blake "bounced" her down.

Blake and Bel are regular pros at the bounce house thing.

Speaking Uncle Al's shed; here's Bel and Jayden standing next to his combine tires. This is in the back part of the shed, not where we had the bounce house. Bel got to ride with Uncle Al and Lisa in both the combine and his big tractor. Jayden was more interested in Grandpa and the cows; although, in the house, Jayden was all about Uncle Al this weekend.

We finally got them all together on the sofa, so Grandma could get a picture of all the 

grandkids together. As you can see, it's not so easy to get them all to smile at the same time, but I think they did alright.

They are Henry, "pretend" 1 as Bel says, 'cause his birthday isn't til next week.

Jayden, 2, also next week.

Blake , 3 a few weeks ago.

And Isabel, 4 last May.
