Iowa Birthday

Henry was excited to have his cousins Piper and Silas over to help celebrate! He was also excited about the water bottle we let him hold....

Aunt Amber made him a very special cow cake!

As long as the candle was lit he was happy : ) 

As soon as we tried to taste the cake...

Well, let's just say he hasn't acquired his taste for cake just yet!

 Still a little upset about how things were going...

and a bit doubtful that Grandma could make it better.

Oh, but she did!

What else makes him happy - riding the rocking horse his Stauffer aunts & uncles got for him at his baby shower! Finally, big enough to ride all by himself : )

Already showing he knows what to do now with these gifts!

 He sure loves his new cup!

 and his new John Deere push and ride!

Lastly, we broke out our big Craig's list find - a tool bench!

"Hmm... I need to screw in one more piece..."

but where.....

Wrestle time with Uncle Nate

And I just couldn't narrow these next ones down so 3 more of Henry and Nate.

Such a relaxing afternoon - can you tell?!

We enjoyed a little bear crawling action!

What were they watching?

An intense arm wrestling match.

One proud Momma!

Oh, this is the life!

Can you guess what was next on the agenda?

 That's right! Time to change the corn cob : ) 

Good work, Piper!

Taking his job very seriously! Look at that concentration.

Lastly, some fun fall photos!

Rake it up to do it again!!

Gorgeous fall day! Thanks for coming Silas and Piper!!
