Connor's First Vacation

Look at that Smile while he was getting tickled, so cute!

All clean after his bath!

Oh weird Connor is crying? it's a pretty cute picture though

Playing the piano with Grandma so much fun!

The attempt at a photo session, this was one of the good ones.

Swinging with daddy, we spent a lot of time in the beautiful backyard!

Pretending to be gardeners in their luscious Garden.

Kevin and Connor with the girls. They loved to hold Connor it was really cute.

Well we survived Connor's first real vacation. We have been to my cabin a few times and slept over for a night or two but this was big. We drove for 6 hours roughly and thankfully because we decided to leave at around 7 at night Connor slept for most of the driving trip. We had a lot of fun at Grandma and Grandpa Waite's Connor had so much fun he never wanted to nap so thanks again for letting us come and invade your house and disrupt your lives for a few days we really enjoyed seeing you and Connor just loved playing the piano with Grandma and swinging on the swing with Grandpa. I also want to thank my parent's for dog sitting for us while we were in Star. We really appreciate being able to travel without him it was that much easier not having to deal with Cooper as well so thanks for putting up with him and his neediness. Here are some pictures from the trip and I had my first experience being away from Connor for more than an hour or so when Kevin and I went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, which rocked, and it was a little nerve racking at first to leave him for that long but I hope he wasn't too big of a pain and it was nice to get away from the crying for a little bit so thanks for that one Linda and Steve.

Almost 5 Months Old?

So Connor will be five months old on the 18Th which I believe is Tuesday and that is just beyond shocking because that means he is only a month away from being a half a year old. Ok when did that happen? Anyway here are some pictures of my darling pushing off the ground on his tummy and some of him naked, because he is so smiley when his diaper is off, I don't blame him, so I thought that would be a good way to try to get a picture of him smiling. Anyway I love him and he has been an amazing addition to our family and I am so thankful for him.
ok so this was towards the end of the photo shoot and yes that wet spot next to Connor's arm is his pee and yes that is the dog Cooper licking it off of Connor, Dumb dog.

I love his face in this because you can tell he is grunting like crazy, it's pretty funny.

look at those baby blues!

oh my little angel he loves grabbing his feet.

Look at that big smile, I know it is blurry but I am just not fast enough getting him smiling!

The Newest Member of the Family

Since Connor was born we have been looking for a new car and Kevin graciously sold his pickup so we could have a better family car. We finally got one and it has been so nice to have the whole family in there and not have to sit at an acute angle with my knees in the dash. Here are some pics of it and while I was out there I took some pictures of the horses and barn that are across the street. Anyway we are really excited to take her to Boise to visit Kevin's folks this week and I am nervous to see how Connor will do on his first real vacation. We are planning on leaving in the evening so hopefully he will sleep the whole way there so the five plus hour ride won't be too hard on him. So it is now official I am a "soccer mom" in my SUV although the soccer thing is still a few years off but I can't believe how quickly time flies I mean he is almost six months old...what where did that half a year go?CRAZINESS! Anyway I love being a mom and I am so lucky to have so many wonderful guys in my life I love you Kevin and Connor and yes sometimes I love you too Cooper.

The horses aren't in the family.

"I love driving it, it is so choice"

I didn't take one of the front because the sun was setting.
