I've waited all my life for this day! -Connor B.

Today Connor turned SIX!!! Usually I would say I can't believe it's been six years but with Connor it's been different. I can believe it's been six years! He was our rowdy one (until Avery came along), he is still our talkative, silly and there isn't a day the boy isn't laughing at something. He finds some of the strangest things funny and by the time you hear him laugh you're laughing too! At age six he loves...

Happy Birthday Connor! We love you so!

Him's a Big Boy now!-Connor B.

All because "him" got a big boy bath tub of course! :)

$25-Tiny Prints

Remember this post....we'll we had a "miscomunication" and I ended up not receiving the code for the free cards in time to order them for Christmas. So, while thinking the whole time I just never got the code I  had somehow missed in in my junk folder. I emailed Tiny Prints and ended up receiving a code for $25.00. I scanned over my options and found these. Once I received it in the mail I loved it! Don't you?

Shh don't tell Tiny Prints but I had a code to use from Shutterfly too and ordered Laynee one.

 Now all that's left is one for Avery!

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

was by far Connor's favorite song in his Christmas program on tuesday night. He did so good and looked and smiled as though everyone was there to watch him.

(before the program)

Miss Morgan before the Program started, smiling at her momma.

Miss Harlie being silly!

Connor setting his own style with his Santa hat.

The girls (Mady and Vivia) didn't care for all the attention.

Avery woke up just in time to see the show!

We enjoyed watching the Pre K and Kindegarden class sing their little hearts out!

 

Oh Crayola!

you've done it again! Connor loves you so.

On saturday to keep this lil' guy entertained we got out the Crayola Crayon maker...

it was a huge success. Connor loved it! He gets so excited over things like this.

Daddy got to "help" out...

He was so proud of the crayons he made!

Wordless Wednesday

Pre K

We got the call on tuesday of last week and was starting our first day of Pre K by thursday. One more doctors visit and a quick phone call to Sue @ Sew Close to Home for a nap mat, book bag and lunch tote and we were set! He couldn't wait and announced that it was no longer Laynee's school, it was Laynee and Connor's school! I could have screamed, cried and jumped up and down but a c section, sore throat and crazy emotions I ended up doing none but was doing all those inside...ha!

I snapped this photo in the car before leaving that morning, we were late (see Tooth Fairy post) and there wasn't much time. I stayed through breakfast and walked him to his class for the first day! He's enjoying taking lunches, which right now is his favorite thing and I'm hoping the whole Pre K thing grows on him. I guess its something to do with Boys but he isn't a "I LOVE SCHOOL" kid. (He did this same thing in K 3 last year.) Laynee was and still is, it must be a girl thing.

Since the first day, Laynee has started walking him to his class. He reminds her not to hold his hand and only walk beside him. I don't think this will last much longer but Big Sister sure is enjoying it for now! Laynee was in Pre K and it helped prepare her for Kindegarden so much. We are so thankful Connor got in and can't wait to see how much he grows this year! I still can't believe he's FOUR and in PRE K! Time flies!



You can call me the Birthday Boy!

Connor turned four on the 6th and ALL week he has been telling us not to call him Connor to call him the Birthday Boy...so that's exactly what we've been doing! He has been taking full advantage of being the birthday boy and has reminded us all week of just that. Saturday the birthday boy finally had his birthday party. He had counted down the days with Laynee all week and was beside himself all day saturday. I planned the party from 5-7 thinking it wouldn't be that hot and that maybe the kids could get some play time outside...we'll that lasted all of 10-15 minutes cause it rained. Our house now looks like a bomb of toys went off and I haven't had the energy to do much if any cleaning! All in all Connor said several times this was the best birthday party ever and he even hugged everyone's neck after each present he opened! He melted my heart each time, he really is a sweet boy when he wants to be! HA! I couldn't have been more happy with the way everything turned out! I bought this package off etsy  @ Dimple Prints and printed out the pieces that we need and it all came together so great! I will def. be using them again! Check them out here!

I need your help

Where can I buy these?

Connor is having a ice cream party and if for anything else I thought these would be great for some of the older kids/adults!

A first and a last

Saturday Connor played his last T ball game of the season and got his first trophy. To say I was ready for the season to be over with is a understatement. We spent the majority of the season watching Connor run off the field or sit and play in the dirt. If you are a parent who is thinking of putting your three year old in tball next year I recommend waiting til they are FOUR! It was a long season for us but seeing Connor get that Trophy and SMILE from ear to ear was worth it all. It's all he has talked about all weekend long. I'm glad the season is over for us!

Our lil' Rugrat team!

RUGRATS!

I'm lovin' his socks rolled down and pants pulled up-he was HOT!

Excited!

Someone's very excited about Avery's baby bed being put up tonight!

Happy

Lil' tiny hands climbing up the ladder on the swing set cause he wanted to do it all by myself...

Here's the scoop

I've been looking over "easy" birthday options for Connor's 4th birthday. I will have a newborn baby just weeks before his birthday but wanted his day to still be special too. It was a tight race between hot wheels (which he loves) and ice cream party...my only concern was could I throw off a ice cream BOY party? We'll after searching http://www.etsy.com/ and http://www.ebay.com/ I think I can! So this years Ice Cream Party will have some of the following...

Finally something with some "boy colors"!

Possible, may go with waffle cones.... 

Chocolate train pops at his last party were a hit...thinking about these for this one!

For all three of the kiddos????

A sign for the table...

I'm also considering these for favors...

So...that's the scoop for now!

T Ball

This year we Adam signed Connor up for T Ball. I don't have much interest in baseball but when it's your own child playing you kinda make your self get into it. Today was our first practice. I snapped a few shots...these are when he was actually ON THE FIELD. He got "real tired" alot and had to come sit by mommy on the bleachers...
