My little man

Connor is growing up so fast. He has such a personality right now and I know that will only become stronger in time. My little man is almost two years old ahhhhhh...It really feels like just the other day he started crawling. Its been a while since I have done a update on him. He is a a hefty 32 pounds and 32 inches tall. He is talking a ton and really copying so many of the things we say. He loves  and I mean really loves Elmo and Cars the movie right now, along with trains and books. He is all boy, He really likes to be chased and then say " I got you" when we catch him! He loves to give kisses, lots of times its after he has taken a toy away from a kid or or pushed him down. ( joys of a toddler). If he could live outside he would,  Its been nice since the weather is finally cooling off so we can spend more time outside again. He has been saying more and more phrases as his clarity of words are coming through. Like

A mess
its stuck
where it go
Momma go bye bye
Play cars
and my favorite I got you

Its really cute when we count to three and throw him on the couch he says " three gain" Oh my little man how much we love you, and have so much joy in our home with you apart of our family.

These are some of my favorite right now

California 2012

In August we went out to California for my friend Chelsae's wedding and decided to make a vacation out of it. We spent lots of time with gerrets parents and family. we made it to the beach a ton;) oh how I miss the ocean and salt air. It was so nice to spend some down time together and do some fun things. Gerret works super hard and many, many hours. It's always super nice to have him around for a whole 2 weeks!! We took Connor to sea world and Lego Land for the first time. He made it onto to his first ride at Lego land cant remember what it was called, It was an airplane ride that basically went around in circle. He was freaking out waiting in line he wanted to jump out and run into the coaster. once it got moving he loved it! We miss California and always talk about how we could move back on the way home, but realize how great we have it out here, and how much we love where we are at here in Dallas and the friends we consider family our here:)
It was also great getting to see my brothers! and for Connor to have some cousin time. I got to catch up with some good friends too that that I never see. I love that even though we don't get to talk much or see each other we pick up right where we left off! love that;)

Here are some pictures of the trip!
