Kansas AGAIN!

I was able to fly out to Kansas again on the 18th to help my sister and her kids drive to Utah for the Holidays.  She has three kids and the oldest is 4.  My flight went to Manhattan, Kansas by way of Chicago O'Hare airport, for those of you wondering it is not on the way.  I hadn't ever been to Chicago before and now I have seen some of airport.  I thought it was great that they were decorated for Christmas.  We left Friday morning at 9 our time and got into Salt lake Saturday about 3:30pm.  I knew by the drivers that I was home.  We were blessed to make it before the storm hit because it was a big storm. 

My boys shoveling so I don't have too! 

Happy Birthday Henry

Ok so I am a little slow getting these up here but that is how life goes!  Henry had a great birthday and here is the proof! 

He has wanted a scooter forever and I didn't know how to wrap it so its in the huge box on the right.

He had to take his socks off so he wouldn't slide off. 

We had pumpkin cupcakes and sang to him.  He wanted to light the candle.

Grandma Baker and Aunt Marlene came over on Saturday even though he told all of us he already had his birthday. 

Halloween 2010

What a fabulous day for Trick or Treating!!  Or something.  None of us were dry when it was all over but we had fun and all got candy.  Rob and I took my niece Monica with Henry to go get the candy.  We made it to about 15 houses and called it a night.  Monica kept trying to slow Henry down and told him to conserve his energy.  HAHAHAHAHAHA  He has enough for five kids without the candy.  I made Henry's costume and my mom made Monica's. 

Building a Snowman

It snowed again on Wednesday morning or Tuesday night.  There was a lot of snow so Henry wants to go play of course.  I made him wait as long as I could cope with the repeated question of 'Is it time yet?'.  Then I cleared of the steps of the deck so he wouldn't slip and helped him build a snowman.  He kept making snowballs and randomly trying to attach them to the snowman some stayed most didn't.  He told me not to help so I made a miniature snowman which he them demanded saying I made it for him.  So here are the photos we had fun!!

Last year Robby bought Henry his own snow shovel so he was shoveling the grass. 

FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON

Henry was so excited!  Can I go outside....not yet its still cold let the sun come up.  Can I go outside....not yet.  Can I go outside.....OK. 

But next time find a safer place to build a snowman. 

Breakfast?

So I am not very good at getting breakfast ready so I thought I would try a crock pot oatmeal recipe.  One of those you put in before you go to bed then when you get up its ready.  Sounds like a great idea right?  If only I hadn't woken up with a headache and staying in bed longer than usual so it kept cooking........

Not so good.  I didn't make anyone eat it. 

Stolen Camera

Ok it wasn't stolen, I left it in the car and some one decided to take some pictures.  Guess who!

Labor Day 2010

We spent the afternoon at Marlene's home hanging out.  They painted the side of the garage. 

Another Party

Here you go a little late but this is the next family party.  We had fun and ate food!

Family Party

We had a Baker/Booth/Hatch/Fisher/Keller Family Party this weekend,  I was so much fun and I am so glad that so many were able to come.  And...........................because it was so much fun we are doing it again in two weeks.  Anyway here are a couple of pictures I know I should have taken more but I was enjoying everyone. 

CAN YOU FIX THIS?

ANYONE?

Kansas Trip Part 2

We were there over a week waiting for little Beatrix to be born.  Here we are at the mall trying to move her along and getting some energy out of the boys.  That was the real reason for the trip.

John entertained all when he shot off this rocket a few times. 

Can you see it?

Hanging out on the floor. 

Henry loved Fistan's bigwheel and I had to fight him whenever we got home to come in the house instead of riding it. 

Well he loved it until he crashed!  He got some good scrapes, and I was thankful he had jeans on!

Kansas Trip Part 3 The Baby

Here she is Beatrix Bernice Bingham. (I hope I spelled that correctly)  Henry wanted to hold the baby all the time and was upset when we took her away.  She was crying in her bed one day and Mitzi was getting ready to pick her up and he started singing to her.  So cute!!

Sunday August 1st she was blessed and this is what the boys were doing just before pictures.

The cutest of all!!

Zoo Day

Rob took a long weekend which was great!  We decided to go to the zoo and here are the pictures!  Henry loved it mostly in our hurry to get there we forgot to make sure he ate enough breakfast.  We did have fun anyway!  Thats why I have snacks in my bag right?!!
