Happy Birthday Henry Bitner!

Well I know 2 posts in two days I am on a roll not really I just wanted to document another one of our sweet kids birthdays. Henry turned 1 today and can I say this year is pretty much a blur. Henry was my biggest baby weighing in at 8lbs 11 oz. I was expecting a much smaller baby since I ran throughout my whole pregnancy. I remember the shoke we felt when we saw our sweet baby, because we thought for sure we would have a girl.( we didn't find out what we were having) I have to say he is such a sweet little boy. I have really enjoyed Henry's chunkieness. He is about 2 lbs shy of Brick and I hardly have a chance to put away Bricks clothes before henry is in them. I have noticed lately that he is starting to defending his own. Today Brick was trying to get in his new car and Henry went for the eyes,screamed at him and scratched him. Henry has been one of our kids that will eat anything and everything. He loves sweet potatoes and mashed bananas. He will pretty much eat anything. I have loved seeing him grow up this past year as he has achieved different milestones in his life. Yesterday he learned how to go down a slide, and we are working on going down stairs. He loves clearing out my cupboard and climbing in. He is into everything, I pick it up he throws it out. He loves helping me as I am loading the dishwasher. He thinks I should load everything he can get his hands on twice. He loves to be on my hip which probably is contributing to my shoulder that has been hurting. He loves it when JOnah comes home and picks him up he has the biggest smile on his face. Henry is a joy to have around and a blessing in our lives. Happy Birthday Henry we Love you!!

Happy Birthday William Brick!

Today we celebrated Brick's 3rd Birthday! He was excited this morning to see the decorations, eat green pancakes ( one of his favorite colors), open presents, play Ninjas with Jonah before he left for school. Brick idolizes Jonah and look up to him and watches his every move. He mimics jonahs actions and when Jonah is done brick is done. SO we are trying to help Jonah understand that Brick is following his example. Brick is full of energy, he loves the colors brown and green, loves mac and cheese, loves playing computer games, (he is our IT guy) I don't know if he ever fixes anything, but he sure does mess up the computer every now and then. But then again how do they learn. He does pretty well for a 3 yr old on the computer. Once you get him on the site he is good even if he is losing in his mind he is winning. It is cute to see the personality that has been developing since his paci went away. He talks a lot more. When he was asked how old he was today on many occasions he said he is 8. We don't know where that came from. He is still not potty trained mostly because I am tired and i would rather deal with diapers then messes. It will come soon I can feel it. Brick is a very caring boy whenever he says prays he always prays for the same thing that Jonah, Londyn and mom will get better. It is cute. He enjoys sunbeams at church and on sunday during sacrament meeting he was looking through his Book of Mormon and he saw a picture of Jesus and he said " My Jesus" We love our Brick so much and we are so grateful he is in our family. I am sure you all have enjoyed many tender moments with our little William Brick. Happy Birthday Brick we love you!!

Henry's first haircut

Well I know it has been a while. Life has been busy. We started the new year off with a resolution to not eat out for a whole month. It was hard for a couple of days but we did it and are going to do it this month too. I have found that I have become more creative in my cooking. It is exciting.. School started back up for William, jonah and Londyn. Which has kept Brick, Henry and I at home most days. They are so fun to watch wrestle and to watch Henry mimic everyone. I did something I thought I would never do again and I signed up for another half marathon. I don't think I like training for this one, because it is cold out and there is snow no fun! Don't ask me what I was thinking. Now it is back to training again and hoping for a better run this time. Tonight Henry got his first hair cut and he looks soooo different. His curls were cute but were getting too girly and William gave all the boys a haircut. Well all for now. More later hopefully!
