Connor's new hair cut!

Yes Connor did just have his first haircut a couple of weeks ago, but he had this horrific bowl cut! Seriously it was straight up 80's! Here is the new and improved Connor.... I think he looks cuter than ever!

What a great day!

Today we had a fun day! After Connor's first haircut we went driving around LA. We visited The Myrtles Plantaion, we didn't actualy tour the inside-just the outside, but it was beautiful! Next time we want to have dinner there and stay the night!










Later we drove out to the River and stretched our legs on the shore, while enjoying the beautiful scenery!










We then drove out to downtown and took a look at the ships and the fountains! Connor had a great time just hanging out with his Pop and Gigi and had a great time playing with his dad!
I know that Connor has really enjoyed spending time with his Pop and Gigi and I know that he will really miss them, they I'm sure will miss him too!

Connor's Very first Haircut!

Today was a very special day for Connor, today he got his very first haircut! We decided that Connor needed to have his haircut, his hair was in his eyes and would become sweety and messy throughout the day! We decided that since we were in LA with Pop and Gigi that we would get it done here so that they could enjoy a "big moment" in Connor's life. We went to this adorable little kids hair salon, he sat in a fire truck as he got his baby hair cut off. He did fantastic, he sat quietly, he hardly ever moved, and he enjoyed the experince! The lady that cut his hair did a fantastic job, she was very patient, great with little kids, and very quick! The lady said that Connor did fantastic and that he was a very cute little boy, I must say that I agree! At the end Connor got to pick a toy out of the toy chest for being such a great "sport"! At first Jared was very upset that I had talked him into cutting off Connor's adorable little curls, but in the end he admitted that Connor looks cuter than ever! He looks so different... so little boyish! He is very proud of his new haircut, infact if you ask him "Connor did you get your haircut today?" he will look at you smile rub his head and say "YES!" Here are some pictures of the big moment!
(Yes I did save a curl for the photo book!)



These are his before pictures!

Here he is getting his haircut for the very first time!













Isn't he just the cutest! :)

Our fun time with Pop and Gigi

Our time at Pop and Gigi's is coming to an end. Sadly we head back soon and it's back to the real world! Connor will miss his Pop and Gigi dearly and we know that they will miss him as well! Our last few days were filled with lots of fun! We spent most of Wednesday splashing in the pool with Gigi, Connor had a blast jumping in and splashing everyone! (He is so brave in the pool now!)



Jared came in on Thursday night, we spent all of Friday reminiscing his childhood days! We went and visited Mike the Tiger at LSU, drove around to all of his childhood homes, schools, and other fond memorable places.





Connor and I went with Gigi to New Orleans on Thursday and we went to visit the aquarium. The New Orleans aquarium is amazing, there were so many cool exhibits to see, there were penguins, alligators, sting rays, sharks, turtles, and tons of fish! Connor really had a great time looking at the fish, saying hello to the fish, and petting the sting rays & shark! (He mostly enjoyed playing in the kid play area!)










So far we have had a very good time with Pop and Gigi! :)

having fun at pop and gigi's



Connor had his very first plane ride! He did fantastic, he loved the clouds and the "uh ohs" (the turbulance)
So far we have splashed in rain puddles, shopped, and played ... played... and played! :) This morning we even decorated pop and Gigi's house, Connor thought that they needed new window treatments! This little boy gets away with everything!Pop & Gi-gi can't get enough!
