Henry turns three!









These pictures are a little backwards, but today we celebrated Henry! We started the day with breakfast, hot chocolate and presents. Headed to the playground, at the birthday boys request, for a picnic lunch and then wrapped up the day with some cake after dinner with our super hero friends. We strongly encouraged everyone to dress up like super heroes and our guests did not disappoint. There were some sharp looking caped avengers, even the Dads joined in on the fun. Henry had a blast and we are glad that he felt so loved by his friends and family. He is such a fun kid and so silly. He is a joy to us and we were so happy to celebrate his life today. Thanks for all the calls from family far away that couldn't make it, they mean a lot to us. Love y'all too. We continue to praise the Lord for creating this sweet guy and look forward to year three with our Henny Man.

I may be out of a job.

Don't Fear...

Spider Man is here!
Halloween came a little early this year at the Dirks homestead. This masked crusader has been roaming the halls and climbing the walls. He serves and protects...and he even babysits. What does he simply ask for in return? Peace and justice for all.

Go Cats!

So I was looking through the pictures on our digital camera and I came across this one of the kids in their K-State duds. Turns out that they woke up early one morning, put on their wildcat outfits, and took a self-timer picture of themselves! These kids sure are wild about Kansas State! Go Cats!

Silly Kids

Here are a few fun pics from our week.
Maggie discovered that her legs and arms are now long enough to shimmy up the doorway. Henry tried but he is not quite long enough, so he settled for a photo bomb.
Maggie and Henry continue to induct Haven into the family with pranks and the like. Here they have stickered her "bum bum" a phrase that likes to be said often and with continual giggles linked to it.
Henry and Tyler grilling together. Henry has taken over the job of overseer.
And the main event this week was a trip to "cowboy" night at chickfila. There were pony rides, balloons, free food and story time with a real life Jesse from toy story. When we got there we headed straight to the line. Maggie stepped right up to the front and was ready to go, this wasn't her first rodeo.Loving it! Ride em' Cowgirl!The Colorado kid, however was a little afraid and didn't want to ride. So, we gave him a little pep talk, without success. After we ate we took him over to "pet" the pony; only we pet the pony while putting Henry into the saddle. The woman leading the pony knew our plan and started walking the pony right away and instead of tears a huge grin took over Henry's entire face. He was so proud of himself (and I didn't feel quite so bad about tricking him into it). Of course I walked around with him and it was a lot of fun.
He even wanted to ride again, and he did! Way to go Henry and thanks for a good ride Smokey.

2 months!



Yesterday Haven celebrated her two month birthday! She is such a precious baby. She is so smiley and pleasant. She loves getting attention from her family (and as I've mentioned before she gets plenty of it). Maggie wants to put bows in her hair every day and Henry wants to hold her often. She loves milk and gives really really big smiles after her tummy is all filled up.
