Connors Birthday at the Park

I cant believe Connor will be one tomorrow. Where has this year gone. We were able to celebrate the big "ONE" at the park with family and a few friends. He enjoyed the swings, walking around on the grass not knowing what to think of his shadow, and of course his cake! He mostly rubbed it all over his face and hardly got any of it in his mouth, but we loved watching this first for him!
We are so fortunate to have you in our family Connor, we love you SO much. This year we both have grown in many ways and I look forward to what the next year brings!

Happy Birthday little man!

New Pictures

I wanted to get some pictures of Connor taken around his first birthday, So I asked my friend Kylie to take some and they all turned out great, I love them! thank you so much for doing this. This little man has gotten big fast and I know this will only continue;)

Check out some of the cute pics we got!



I adore that smile of his;)

He is walking

Connor started walking about three weeks ago and he is pretty much running now. well not quite, he gets super excited now that he is moving and builds his momentum and his legs have a hard time keeping up with him. He is literally tripping all the time. This poor kid has so many bruises and scrapes now.
He has discovered a whole new world now that he is totally mobile. He can now climb onto the couch, open doors, attempt to climb into the bath tub, climb up the stairs this one is scary, and as always get into anything he sets his eyes on.
I cant believe this little boy is gonna be a year old on the 11th of this month. where did this year go? I still feel like we only had him a few days ago.
Here is a short video of him walking!

Not so crafty

I do not have the crafty hand for projects. Its something that I would like to develop a hobby for, it just takes time and money. Two things I am very particular with now. My friend Rachel is the craft queen and is very talented in that avenue. So we had a little craft day where she showed me how to make some cute onsies with ties, along with cheap frames from Ikea and jungle animals to go along with Connors room.

Love how easy these Tie shirts turned out and how super easy they were I have some cute gift Ideas now;)

The Animal frames where easy but only because they were done on a Cricut. something I would like to get in the future. They pretty much do all the work you pick the paper and design put the cartridge in pick the dimensions and let it do all the cutting.
Love my little projects! So excited to do more soon;)

Kisses

I mentioned in a previous post that Connor always crawls around with a toy or dragging something along side of him. Well this is his new favorite thing to keep at his side



lately he has been crawling around with this stuffed Hershey kiss bag I got Gerret while were dating as one of his valentines gifts. I guess Connor is putting it to go use now;) glad we didn't get rid of it. He loves that kiss;)

Summer family fun!

Our family doesn't get together very often so when we do and can, we always have a good time together with lots of laughs. My brother and beautiful family came up from Houston and we were able to do some fun things while they were here. Its really nice to see all the cousins playing and the little ones playing too! We were able to have plenty of pool time, sprinkler parks and the Aquarium, and of course BBQ s and lots of food! Things tend to be centered around food in our family as I am sure its that way in most;) We went to the Aquarium that just opened called Sea Life in the Grapevine mills mall. It was fun a small place, but cool to see once every few years. When Connor gets older and can actually point to a fish and understand what it is, we can take him again. Here are some pictures of our fun week with the family in no particular order. Can I just say it is really hard to get a picture with all the kids together so the one I have was the best I could do. Something to work on for next time;

Better late then Never

I am really bad about blogging when stuff happens around here so I guess I am catching up. Gerret's birthday was may 5th which fell on a Wednesday so he was busy with work and young men's. We were still able to do a little celebrating with some friends, Texas hold em and cake! banana cake of course Gerrets favorite cake.
That weekend we went to a Rangers/ Yankee game with some awesome people at the ranger stadium. I had a surprise for Gerret that he didn't see coming. At the 7th inning stretch they do the birthday announcement on the big screen and he was one of them! He also got a bag of goodies with ranger gear and a hat! He was stoked about it. We had a great night and he enjoyed his present. He's not one to be the center of attention but, he certainly enjoyed it that day and he should!


Love this man SO much
