Baby Hensley's First Dresses!

Baby Hensley's first outfits...picked out by her big brothers.  

This is so fun!

Ninja, Captain Hook and a Baby Shark

Well.....they days of Eric and I picking and coordinating matching outfits for the boys on Halloween are over.  Both Gavin and Nolen had very strong opinions about what they wanted to dress up as.  We went over to a friends house this year and went trick-or-treating with 2 other families.  The kids had so much fun!  They got TONS of candy....which I wish would go away.

Little Captain Hook could not be any cuter!

My Ninja!

I love this picture.  Hot husband.....adorable shark baby.

Love that smile.

Gavin looks so grown up to me.  This is the only picture I got of him after we left our house.  He was way to busy.

Nolen in full costume.  He had fun but once his little bag was full....he was over it.  He didn't want to go to anymore houses.  He said he had enough candy, he was cold and was ready to go home.  That boy can whine with the best of them.  I think 4 is the age of whining.

The next day I put Cohen's costume back on him and took some pictures.  

Little Man standing....he has zero interest in walking but he can stand for as long as he wants.

Love him.

Pumpkin Carving

Eric and the boys (well mostly just Eric) carved pumpkins.  Gavin and Nolen ran around the yard and got more grass stains and holes in their jeans while Eric carved pumpkins.

Family Fun at the Pumpkin Patch!

When we asked Gavin what he wanted to do for fall break since we weren't going to Florida, he said he wanted to spend the night with Mamaw and Papaw and go to to Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch.  That sounded pretty reasonable.....so Thursday night he spent the night with Eric's parents and had a blast and Sunday after church we headed to Oakes Farm!  

This little mini Eric melts my heart.  That smile and those dimples....he is quite the charmer.

They really do love each other....most of the time.

Gavin being silly.

Mommy and Cohen.

In the corn maze with cotton candy = happy kids

Nolen searching for his pumpkin....it took him about 5 seconds.

It is so funny how different the boys are.  

It took Gavin forever, he wanted to find the perfect pumpkin.

Nolen on the other hand, just ran out and claimed the first pumpkin he saw.

Daddy and his boys

Our family.....we are so blessed.

The Beach

Have I mentioned that my kids love the beach?  Well, they do......

Eric was hunting in Canada over Labor Day so the boys and I headed to Florida.  There was a tropical storm so it wasn't exactly the best beach weather.  We only got to go one day and it was cloudy but the boys didn't seem to mind.  They had a blast.

 Nolen and Ayla....they looove each other!

When we got there, Gavin was pouting because I wouldn't let him bring his I-Pod down to the beach.  That lasted about 5 seconds.  As soon as his feet touched the sand, he forgot all about it.

Sand does not bother this little guy one bit.  When he was a baby, he hated the sand.  I am sure I have said it before but you could sit him in a chair and he would not move for hours because he did not want to get sand on any part of him.  I would say he got over it.

My big boy....he looks so grown up here!

Nolen being silly.....

Oh Mom, seriously.  Can you get me out of this thing?  I wanna eat some sand!

Gavin Boogie Boarding

Little toes in the sand.

This was the first time that I sat Cohen in the sand and just let him play.  Of course, he had to taste it.....

Want some?



First Day of School!

Gavin started school this week.  He was not very excited.  For about a week before he started he tried every day to talk me in to homeschooling him.  He gave me all the reasons that it would be best for both of us.  We could sleep later, he could do school in his "comfy's", I wouldn't have to pack his lunch and he could eat at home, he could play with his own toys at recess.  They were all good reasons....but he still had to start school bright and early Monday.

I cannot get over how much he has changed since his first day of Kindergarten.  He looks so grown up!

August 2010--Gavin's first day of Kindergarten.

First day of 1st grade.

Gavin is such a smart little boy.  We are so proud of him.

Nolen started his last first day of Mothers Day Out this week too.  Next year this time.....Nolen will be going to Kindergarten!  Aaaaahhhhh.....my babies are growing way too fast. 

He didn't really want to go either.  Ha.....I don't know what is wrong with my kids.  It must be because they have so much fun at home with us that they don't want to go back to school!

Once he got there, he had a great day!

We had to fill out a little information sheet and I asked Nolen the questions and wrote his answers.  His favorite food is spaghetti, his favorite thing to do at school is play and when he grows up he wants to be like his Daddy (he is well on his way).
