Henry's First Tailgate

With my work schedule it is difficult to get back to Columbia as often as we would like for Missouri games. Over the past few years the Kirkwood/Mizzou Tailgate has become quite the event. Luckily for us, Mizzou played at IU this past weekend and since that's only 2 hours from Louisville, we got to go and take Henry. 

The weather was perfect and thanks to a good friend we got to make the trip up there earlier than anticipated because I found coverage for my soccer games. So after breakfast we loaded up and headed North. 

We had great weather and got to celebrate the Tigers with great family and friends. Henry had an amazing time. He got to run around, eat junk food and see his ZouZou and Pop K. We can't wait to do it again soon!


Henry and his ZouZou. He obviously couldn't be bothered to put down his drink.
It's a tailgate, remember?

Henry and Pop K.  
He thought sitting in this chair was just the best. We stuck Chex Mix in the the cup holder and thought he was just the coolest thing ever. Until of course five minutes later he jumped out, ran around and ate a handful of mud. Parents of the year right here.

Again, too busy eating to take a proper picture.
No wonder this 16 month old is already in 3T clothing. 

With Jason and Jessica Engelbrecht. I've known these for basically their whole lives. So great to have grown up with such good friends. I love spending my holidays with you guys.
Missed you B and Jimmy!

As we neared our limit the only thing that entertained Henry was playing in this cooler and eating the ice. Most likely he was trying to wash the mud taste out of his mouth. 


Delicious cookies at the mixed team tailgate.

Henry Gets a Slide

Henry is lucky enough to have a grandpa that is an amazing woodworker. He made Henry's beautiful crib and this summer he added on to Henry's swing-set. A few weekends ago Nick, his dad, and sister put together this beautiful tower and slide. Henry loves it and absolutely cannot get enough. We are so happy that we could get this done.
