Colt is Here!!!

New Year's Eve I became a AUNT!! Jonathan and Alison had their baby... Colt Nathaniel Henson. He was almost the excat same size as Cash!!!


Here are all the Henson boys! Toby, Toby's Dad, Cash and Jonathan holding Colt!! I can not wait till Colt can play with Cash!! So excited!!


Christmas with The Hensons (with Snow!)

Christmas Day night we left my parents and drove to Toby's parents in Dublin, where it had been SNOWING!! We got in around midnight on Christmas and visted and then went to sleep. The next morning we woke up and opened presents, and ate Christmas dinner! Alison and I even took an afternoon nap!
Toby's Uncle Don went outside and built Cash his first snowman! Cash loved watching but did not want to walk on the snow, so Toby had to carry him and sit by the snowman in order for him to take his picture by it.




Cash got to be our elf and hand out all the presents to everyone when it was time to open them. Jonathan usually has been the elf in years past but passed this on to Cash this year! We spent the weekend, relaxing and enjoying the cold tempatures in Dublin! Thanks for a great Christmas and all the goodies!!(including my Sarah Palin book! I love it)!

Christmas with The Youngs

We spent Christmas eve and Christmas Day with my parents this year. Cash really got into Christmas this year and had a blast. The pictures are kind of out of order, but here is my Christmas summary.... better late than never!
Cash got new shoes from Santa! He was super excited about them! Christmas eve we baked our own cookies for Santa and my mom had bought, all sorts of icing and sprinkles for Cash to decorate his own cookies for Santa. He even requested that we buy Santa his own little container of milk as Cash did not want to share his!
He had a lot of fun decorating his own cookies for Santa, and sitting them out for Santa to eat when he came that night.
We let Cash open presents from my parents on Christmas eve so he was not overwhelmed on Christmas day, and he got a kitchen! He loves it. He even got his own chef hat. He cooks for hours and hours on this. We set it up in our kitchen so when I cook he is able to cook also.
We had a great Christmas with my parents and gots lots of good presents and food while we were there!!! Thanks mom and dad!!

Its beginning to FEEL alot like Christmas!

Well ever since Thanksgiving the last couple of weeks have been a blur. Toby and I have had something everyweekend and have something every day till Christmas. We have tried to do anything and everything Christmas related and go see that we could. I have two Christmas parties that we had to attend for my office and Toby had his. My dad went back to work part time and so my mom has had Cash during our events.

Here is the Gingerbread train that she bought for her and Cash to make! He loved it and its my centerpiece on my kitchen table right now. He loves trains so this was perfect for him. Wednesday Toby and I took off and went with my parents to Palestine, Texas. They bought the 5 of us tickets to ride on the Polar Express.
Here the train is coming into the station to pick us up. The train left at 5pm and drove to the north pole. It was great timing since there was still light when we got on the train but by the time that we arrived at the North Pole it was dark.

Here we are looking out the window once the train was arriving at the North Pole. Once we got there we had to wait for Santa and his elves to get on board. Cash was so excited to get to see Santa's house. Along the train ride they served us hot chocalate and cookies.
The whole train sang Christmas carols, and had a really great time. Cash and all the kiddos wore their pj's on the train just like in the Polar express book. Here is Cash and Toby singing and clapping to festive songs along the way.
Santa came by each row to see each kid and gave them thier very special bell. Cash rang it most of the drive home! (Which like I said earlier was in Palestine so that was 2 hours!)

Here we are waiting for the train to come into the station.

We had a lot of fun and are looking foward to the next week before Christmas, I think that we have one more holiday trip planned on Sunday and a wedding on Saturday!!

Happy Fall!!

Happy Fall! We are loving that the weather is starting to cool down some here in Texas!! Cash is growing like a weed. He moved up at daycare now that we are fully potty trained, he is back with his friends at school and so excited about it!

When Toby was gone hunting in October we went to Jayson and Erin's house and went to the park to play. Cash had a blast!
Jayson even took Cash to feed the ducks and they had fun! I think that they went through a whole loaf of bread feeding them. Jayson is great with Cash, and I think that Cash wanted a break from just me and needed some guy time while Toby was gone! Thanks Jayson!


Cash is finally coming around to liking Hunter now that he can sit up and crawl and play with him a little! We can not wait for another 6 months or so when Hunter is chasing Cash!!

Happy Halloween

Well I am a little late in posting Halloween pics, but better late than never!! My mom made Cash's and my costume since I had to dress up this year since we were having a carnival at work.
Cash is in love with Mickey Mouse right now, so this was the perfect year for him to Mickey Mouse.

I love his costume and believe it or not so did he. He wore it to school on Friday and trick or treating on Saturday.


I love this picture of my boys! Its actually my screeen saver at work. Notice the pumpkin has Mickey mouse ears also?

Our family picture! I think that mom should have made Toby a goofy outfit and he would have fit in just perfect with Cash and me!

Minnie and Mickey Mouse



My parents came up Saturday to see us before we left since mom had not gotten to see the costumes complete on us yet!

Cash had so much fun going door to door to get candy! He would run and run and if Cole got ahead of him, he would say... WAIT FOR MICKEY!! He really got into it this year! Toby and I had a blast watching him. He never wanted to stop when we finally made him come home.
Thanks again mom, for making our AWESOME COSTUMES! We love them!!!
