Ok, where to start...

Connor loves to play on the playground and he especially loves swinging!
Normally Connor and Kevin wear helmets but it was down the sidewalk so I let it slip, but we love riding our bikes especially up at the cabin, Cooper gets a good workout usually.

The new trucks from Grandpa and Grandma Waite, and rolling them down the wood board was a fun game that Connor couldn't get enough of.
These are Kevin and Matt's old trucks from when they were kids Connor wants to play outside with them all the time.

Connor loves his Grandpa and Chocolate chip cookies!
Playing in his fort, the fort was actually another toy of Kevin and Matt's.
Connor loves music so he loves to play the piano, especially when someone can actually play a song on it!
Oh my, yes I officially have the cutest son ever!
Feeding the horses, I love this guy he is super friendly and nice Connor loves to go feed him.
Wow has he got some gorgeous baby blues!

Connor figured out how to open our lazy susan cupboard so now everything in there, especially Jello, is a new toy. Anyone have any suggestions on how to lock that?
These are bird houses that my sister Lacey had a great idea to turn them into haunted houses for decoration. So this was a fun project I did with Lisa and Lacey I just wish we could get together more often and without our kids. I had so much fun though thanks again Lisa for letting us use your house
Connor also figured out how to climb onto our dinning table which is at bar height so needless to say it is only a matter of time before he falls and really gets hurt.
Yes Connor goes down the slides by himself but he goes head first which is pretty fitting with the rest of his behavior.
Cooper and Connor going down the slides at the same time, crazy dog!
This is the new stroller Kevin's parent's bought for us and I love it so much I am using it even though I only have one child in it. We also were gifted the matching infant car seat so this is going to be so useful in a few months. Thanks again Linda and Steve!
So this is what you have missed since I am awful at staying current with my blog. Kevin's parents came down to visit and Connor had so much fun with them. They brought him a bunch of trucks and oh my does he love those. He couldn't get enough of Steve and would bring him any and every toy he could, it was adorable.
Kevin had surgery on his sinuses and that was a mess. The poor thing I felt so bad I think medicine does not agree with his system. I thought we would never be able to leave the hospital, and my amazing Mom was able to watch Connor so I could be at the hospital with Kevin. Oh and yes Connor was so sick that he was puking all over and having Diarrhea so yes my Mom is truly amazing and we can't thank her enough for being there, as she always is. I love you Mom thanks again! The surgery went well and Kevin is still pretty sensitive but he is working and helping out at home so things are basically back to normal. That was a rough couple of weeks there without Kevin at his full capacity, he does so many things for us it just made me realize how much I need him and how wonderfully helpful he is, I love you Kevin!
A few days ago Kevin's parent's stopped over for a day or two on their way to Colorado Springs for their new Service Mission. That was so nice Connor only took a minute or two to warm up to them and he truly had so much fun. He will miss them and so will we but they are amazing and going to do amazing things. Thanks for everything and spoiling Connor he loves you guys!
I think that is everything of real interest that has happened sorry that was a boring and long post but thanks for keeping in touch.

Swimming Time!




Here are a few pictures of Connor swimming out back. He loves water and he had a ton of fun in his little pool on a hot Saturday afternoon. Anyway not much is new, I have my ultrasound this Wednesday so that is really exciting I think I am in the nesting stage and so I am very anxious to find out so I can get everything ready for the new baby! Anyway that is basically what is going on in our lives except for Kevin finally going to the ear nose and throat Dr. He has had major headaches all the time and occasionally gets dizzy and couldn't lay on his stomach without his ears going "weird" so he finally went and they took a cat scan of his face and basically has Chronic sinusitis and a severely deviated septum. At least we are starting to fix the problem so hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Thanks for listening to me ramble and I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Thankful




There are many things in the world I am thankful for, but I am extremely thankful for the power of faithful prayer. I haven't talked about my recent trial in life because I have a hard time admitting weakness. For those of you who don't know my dear sister Lacey was recently diagnosed with a skin melanoma basically skin cancer. Thankfully through the power of faithful prayer and the will of the Lord she has been given a clean bill of health and will be monitored yearly. Anyone who knows Lacey knows that she is the epitome of integrity which is why she is friends with everyone she meets. To me she is always my big sister, the one I looked up to and would do anything for since birth, even if it meant shaving my head. She is the one I have been jealous of my entire life because she was just always better than me. I know I am the luckiest person in the world to have been so close to her all my life and I know I will never even come close to being the person she is but I am so thankful to have someone in my life that has truly always been such an amazing example to me of the person I want to be. Thank you for your positive attitude through this it is the only thing that has kept me functioning properly. I love you so much Lacey thank you for the some of the greatest memories of my life, it seems like all the fun and wonderful memories I have are with you and our family. Thanks to everyone who faithfully prayed on her behalf and thank you Mom and Dad for your positive and faithful attitudes I know that has helped me. I love you!
On a lighter note Connor got his first hair-cut and he looks so old and it is weird for me that he doesn't look like my baby boy but a little man now. These are also pictures of when we went and fed the ducks Connor had to be held after a few minutes because he was ready to go swim with them in the stream he really loved those ducks.
