Heroes

Henry, even at 12, is so stinking cute sometimes. I believe he heard someone on TV mention Heroes. I'm not really sure but he says to me, you know, Daddy is your Hero and you are my Hero. I just thought it was so adorable. We must be doing something right if he thinks we are all each others heroes. OR, maybe he doesn't know the meaning of the word. Oh well, I'm going with the first one!

Puberty

Henry is getting a little peach fuzz above his lip and you would think he's the Tom Selleck of the 80's the way he talks about it. So he says to me the other day....

H: Remember that Gel you gave me for my hair?
M: Yes
H: Well I put it on my lip to keep the hairs down.

I had no reply to that! Speechless!

Brother or Sister

The other day I had a conversation with Henry in the car and this is how it went:

H: Mom, why don't we adopt a brother or sister for me?
M: I wanted to but your father didn't.
H: Well let's just do it and surprise him.
M: You can't do that - it's against the law - daddy would have to know about it.
H: Well it's probably a good thing I don't have one anyway.
M: Why?
H: Because I would just torture them.
M: (Sigh)!

Mr. Sensitive!

So last night Henry and I are watching the new Tim Allen show. Forget the name of it. Tim Allen takes his small grandson out trick or treating and comes home, takes off the kids mask and it's a different kid. Most people would laugh. Henry gets up says "I don't want to watch this". I said why? At first he wouldn't tell me. I finally got it out of him that he didn't like the fact that he brought home a different kid. I said does that upset you? He said yes. He didn't think he would be able to get his grandson back. I said of course he will. I said - it's just a tv show - it's not real. He said he still didn't like it. Whenever I think my kid is so tough he goes and does something like this to make me realize he's really Mr. Sensitive. I love that kid.

Jaxon

Jaxon had his 1st birthday on Dec. 8th. What a cutie patootie! Henry loves this kid to death.

More Xmas

Christmas

Christmas was pretty quiet this year. Henry got a PS3 - his big gift.

HENRY TURNS 12!!!!

Ahhh the life of a pre-teen. Henry wanted a party and I think he's getting too old for them so I compromised and had invited a few friends over to watch a movie and have pizza. He really has a nice bunch of friends this year. The boys watched Space Balls (sorry parents, I didn't realize that movie had so much bad language). They ate pizza and junk food and played manhunt. I think they all had a good time! Here are the boys!!!! Gavin, Alec, Thomas, Joe, Samuel, Danny and Zack.

The Scream!!!!!!!!!!

Henry has been wanting to be the villain from the movie "Scream" for a long time. He's never seen the movie so why he wanted to be him is beyond me. He went trick or treating with his neighborhood buddies. He had a great time!

Dan & Amy

My nephew Dan got married recently. Wow! I'm getting old! They really are an adorable couple!

Fall

We went apple picking recently. It was not very successful as most of the apples were sad. We did make a nice pie though!
