Birthday Time!

Last Sunday we had a family dinner to celebrate my step-brother Chris and his birthday. I volunteered for cake duty (bake and frost) and recruited my nieces to help me--they were great helpers and we all had a fun time with each other :)

All suited up and ready to go!

My Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Doyle were fortunately in town and were able to have dinner with us too. Henry loved Aunt Rhonda so much and enjoyed being with her a great deal. While Aunt Rhonda was talking to my mom Henry just stared up at her and listened--like in the picture below.

Surviving the wilderness one Cheerio at a time...

My side of the family went camping this weekend up Big Cottonwood Canyon and Henry and I thought we'd tag along for a few hours. Bobby would have come with us, but was being attentive to other duties he had, so we ventured out into the wilderness, just Henry and I. It was so wonderful getting away from the noise of all things electric and to sit around the campfire with only the sound of the crackling flames on wood. It was so relaxing... Henry was relaxed too--more relaxed than I've seen him in a long time. He was perfectly content to simply sit in his chair and watch the nature around him--and anyone who knows Henry knows he's never still (unless he's sleeping). So ultimately, it was a really great few hours and I was glad Henry was able to enjoy some quality time in the outdoors.

Summertime fun :)

This week Bobby took Henry into the pool for the first time. Henry had a GREAT time and we were able to get a few fun pictures. The bottom picture is of Henry eating watermelon--he LOVES it! :)

We also want to send a big HELLO! to all our friends at CERNER. Thanks for following our blog!

4 Generations!

This past week my father-in-law who was in town from Kansas City and grandfather-in-law in from California came to visit. It was so great getting to spend time with them and to have the opportunity for Henry to get to know them better. Thanks for coming over Dad and Grandpa Zenk! We love you!

As a side note, I found Henry hugging his lamb like this one night...

We love our sweet boy :)
