Christmas pictures

Christmas at the Grotto: We went to this fun little place in Portland that has lights and stuff and it was so fun! It was beautifully lit up and had a nativity scene. Connor had so much fun looking at the lights and stuff.

Christmas morning: kind of self explanatory at this point...

Connor had so much fun with the toy from Grammy and Papa Jones that he had to play for a little while before finishing his other presents!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!

Connor and Santa

So at our Ward Party they had Santa and Connor got excited to see "HO HO". But as you will see he didn't want to sit on Santa's lap....

Until they gave him a bell. (They did Polar Express as a theme so they gave each child a bell.)

So Connor knows who Santa is but doesn't want anything to do with him :)

Crafts

Just for fall!

Connor's new shirt and tie

And his random monster jammies

His shirts were too small so we got him a new one and I think he's pretty snazzy in it!

Yumminess!

Here's the pumpkin cupcakes I made for a friends party!

They were so yummy!

Silly Boy!

Notice anything new?

If you haven't glanced around my blog lately, look up a little bit from this posting and see if there is something new... YUP! Here's the big announcement! We are 8 weeks (and odd days) along! :) Connor will be a big brother! All I know right now is the due date is Feb. 23rd. My doctor's appointments are coming up soon, but I haven't had one. I just had the blood test done. Which is the same due date as Connor's! (Pure coincidence! I promise) Just so we're clear. :) (If you doubt go back on my blog to July 13th 2009 and it says on there.)

More news to come! (if you are wondering when we will know for boy or girl, it will probably be in Oct., since that is when we found out for Connor)

Boise

So here's what we did while in Boise this weekend

Played at Grandma's House!

Connor loves the slides!

Took lots of pictures!

All the girls!

My mom, Grandma and Connor and me!

All the girls!

Went out to lunch with some friends from college!

Lunch out with these two and their hubbies is always an advetnure

Ashley gave her farwell talk. She leaves for Romania Mission in less than two weeks! Crazy girl, we'll miss you!

Ashley's Leaving!

Lots of driving and lots of food, and of course lots of visiting!

Connor's first owie

Connor was at Grandma Nancy's house and climbing up her trunk and falling onto the couch, when he fell off and sliced his ear. It's kind of hard to see, but it's right where the ear connects to his head. No stitches or anything but it was his first bloody owie. He's done pretty good and its already started healing, but it was kind of scary for him.

This is the gift I made for one of the ladies in my ward.

turned out cute!

Mother's Day

Mother's day was a good day. Connor has been sick but he did well. Mike made waffles for breakfast and gave me a shirt from Wicked and Wii Fit (which I am way excited for). We went to the Hokanson house for dinner which was fun. Lots of playing time!

The Wicked shirt was from when we went to the Musical last weekend. It was so amazing! I have listened to the music for years and so it was fun to actually see the storyline to go with it. :) Thanks for humoring me honey! It was Mike, our friend Corrie and me. It was kind of hetic getting there, but totally worth every minute!

Mother's Day Quote~

I'm trying to do one for every season. This is for May.

Easter bunnies!

This is what I did for my visiting teaching ladies this month. They hide an easter egg that I put a scripture about the Resurrection in. :) Yay for cuteness!

random Connor pictures

While mike was working tonight I had some friends over and Connor decided to see how his feet fit into the husband's shoes. Here's what he found:

We bought Tangled the day it came out and Connor just happened to pull out all the pots and pans that day.... "Frying Pans! Who knew right?

While I was at the Chiropracter, my friend Corrie was watching Connor while I was getting adjusted and the Dr.'s daughter (I think her name is Lilah) was there too. Here are the results:

Connor really enjoyed the Spagetthi :)

Just for Grandma Jones :)

My favorite things about Spring

What I love about spring:

fresh strawberries

the smell of freshly cut grass

Leaving the windows open for fresh air

letting Connor run around outside

mmmm! I love spring...

Connor's 1 year pics

Thanks to Samatha Thyme Sherman for the beautiful pics. (Thyme Sherman Photography)

He's a funny boy. There are more on facebook if you want to look at more of them

Sick baby... :(

So Connor didn't sleep very well last night and the last time he woke up he was really warm (103) and so Mike and I got ready to take him to the doc in the box. I checked his temp again and it was at 100.6 (only like ten minutes later). So we waited an hour or so until Mike went to work about 8 and then I took him in. They said his temp was only 98.5 (but I guess his ibprofen finally kicked in). He did not want to get his temp taken or the other thing. (i think it was his pulse). I took this picture while we were waiting for the Doc.

For all those who know my baby this is so not normal. He can't stand be cuddled usually. Too many things to explore i think. Poor baby has a double ear infection. Yay for antibiodics. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.

Little Stink Bug

can you see him?

He climbed on my bed while I was out of the room.

And when I went in and saw him he just giggled.

What a funny little kid.

Connor's First Cupcake!

Connor's Birthday

I will post more pictures later, but here is one from the Birthday Party! We had so much fun with grandparents and great-grandparents and friends (the Williamson's and the Tan's). Thanks all!

1 year old!

I can't believe my baby is already a year old!

We love him so much.

He's already walking like a pro, and likes to run around.

He loves following me around while I clean.

He likes bananas and cheese and macaroni and cheese.

He loves to be outside and cries when I bring him in.

He weighs 25 lbs and I can't remember how long he is.
