Cabin Fun

 I didn't take many pictures this year at our annual family reunion because my camera died! Luckily others had their cameras so I have a few pics.

Con's first time on the boat he was fascinated!

Conner loved driving with Uncle Jeff

Wake Surfing. I was holding the rope and told them to take a quick pic when I let go because I didn't think the wake was big enough for him to ride it without the rope but when I let go I was surprised to keep surfing for another minute or so!

This year because there were SO many people and new babies at the cabin we decided to camp outside in a tent. It was so fun to be with so much family.

Steel Days

We took Conner to the Steel Days Carnival in American Fork. I grew up going to this so it was crazy to go and see how much has/hasn't changed. The carnival and the variety of people that go to it have not changed but I've come a long way from my highschool days of hoping to sit with the cute boy on the Zipper :) I  have a reserved seat next to the cute boy now ;) 

I made the mistake of only getting a few tickets. I should have known that Conner would eat. it. up. He would have stayed there all day long and kept point to the really big crazy rides and saying he wanted to ride them. I put my foot down and said only kid rides for now :)

Conner had this smile on his face the whole time! He loved it!

Pure Joy!

Just chillin with his arm up!

Conner is 2!

*Well this post is very late in coming but I wanted to get it documented.

Birthday Boy!! Big 2!

I can't believe my baby is 2 now! (June 2) We love him so much and love what he brings to our family. If I haven't saved his life at least twice by lunch then it probably means he's sick :)  Here are a few things about Conner.

• Conner is probably the most active, energetic, high-energy, fearless little boy on the planet. Everybody that spends time with him is amazed by his energy and adventuring
• Conner LOVES to climb! He climbs anything and everything possible. The first time I picked him up from nursery (he went into nursery at 16 months because of our callings) the leader said that she was amazed at the things he could climb and do. She told me she never saw a child climb the things he climbed.
• Conner is FEARLESS. We always say that the little switch that most of us have that tells us things are dangerous or we shouldn't do them has never been switched in Conner. He honestly has no sense of danger or limits. Not only does Conner go down the biggest slide possible at every park, but he will never go up the stairs to get there. He insists on climbing the rock wall up to the slide or the fireman's pole. 
• Conner loves the movie Cars! 
• Conner loves I spy books and finding things 
• Conner loves playing with Cars, trucks, animals, and tools
• Conner loves reading books and when we put him down for bed he'll usually spend a good 30 min reading books by himself in his bed or glider before he falls asleep.

Conner on his birthday! This is honestly the best picture I could get :(

Conner's friends helping him open presents! In the future I will have Conner only open presents from others at his party because all he wanted to do was play with the first 1 or 2 he opened.

Cars birthday cake pan

The cupcakes were a lot better tasting than the cake but Audrey and Conner loves eating the frosting

Con loves to color and draw so we got him an easel for his birthday (the easel at IKEA is seriously cheap and awesome!) He'll draw for 20-30 min at a time which is a miracle for him.

Happy Birthday Conner we love you!

Brent's Wedding

Mark's brother got married in July so we made a trip up to Idaho Falls to help and see the event! It's kind of embarrassing but I actually didn't even get any pictures of the couple. In my defense I was sick while we were there so I was a little out of it.

Conner Loves being a helper! He saw everyone carrying wood so he decided to carry one as well. I think he picked one of the biggest pieces to prove he could do it!

Conner will never cooperate for family pictures

Conner and his cousin Macks. Conner was being true to picture taking form.

They had a vintage shabby shic reception and I wish I could have taken this door with me I was IN LOVE
