My Budding Photographer

Here, for your enjoyment, are Connor's first attempts at photography! (PS, it was the first thing in the morning, which explains all the bed head!)

Chuck E. Cheese

Yike! Yes, I actually went there (the things you do for Connor love....) After having a great birthday party the Saturday before his actual birthday, we decided to have some fun on Connor's real big day (in our little family, a birthday isn't a day, it is an EVENT). Lonny took the day off and we all hung out together and watched "The Incredibles". After a good long nap (for all of us) we headed to Chuck's House of Madness. We played games (I am slightly obsessed with the Spider Stomp game) and ate bad pizza and just had fun being together (plus Connor's new little friend)!!!

Birthday Fun

Here are a few pictures from Connor's birthday party! We started the festivities at the Riverton Arts Festival, where mom had a gig....but Connor was much more interested in the bounces houses and giant sand box then listening to the band. That's okay, he can hear her any old time! So we took the party back to our house and had a BBQ with some of the guest of honor's requested menu (asked for: hambungers - not typ-o, actual pronunciation - hot dogs, cheesy rice, strawberries, watermelon and ketchup. actual menu: hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, jello salad, chips, strawberries and watermelon - close enough - and yes, there was plenty of ketchup on hand). Connor got so many presents it's ridonkulous. There is a pretty funny story about squeezing cheeks you can ask me about or read Angela's blog - though it is 1000 times funnier if she tells it. Then it was time for cake - chocolate (of course, you are thinking, because mom is in charge of this party - well you are right, but Connor did ask for it too - after a little prompting) with Movie Car (Lightening McQueen) and Mater on it. He had all "Cars" themed decorations, including balloons that are still floating around the house. He stayed up late and had a wonderful day! Can't believe my baby is 3!!! Such a big boy!!!

Happy Birthday!

Today my little miracle is 3 years old! I will love you always and all ways, precious boy!!
