Here fishy....

Connor went fishing with his Papa and Yha-Yha a couple of weeks ago for the very first time! He did really well he caught 4 REALLY REALLY BIG fish- they must have been about 8 ft long! ;) He had a really good time- and when he told me about it he said "I caught tree fishyyys mommy, tree :)" He was very proud of his self and told me that he had a "fun time with the fishyyys they feel funny"
So thank you Yha-Yha and Papa, he looks forward to going again! :)

Connor gets a BIG BOY BED!!!!

After many nights of banging up against the wall and telling us that his bed was "too little", we decided that it was finally time to upgrade from our cute little boy bed to our BIG BOY BED! So we took Connor shopping and "let" him pick out his BIG BOY bed! We mad a full day out of the experience, when we woke up we told him that he was going to get a BIG BOY bed and that today was a very special day! I made him BIG BOY pancakes and we ate at the table with a BIG BOY plate and a BIG BOY fork and drank out of a BIG BOY cup! We then drove to Austin for the day ate lunch with Yha-Yha and PaPa and went shopping at IKEA. After an all day shopping trip for a BIG BOY bed and BIG BOY bedding we went home and daddy set up Connor's new BIG BOY bed! Jared did a great job, he kicked Connor and I out of the room so that he could surprise Connor with his new BIG BOY room! Jared rearranged furniture, put the bed together, put bedding on the bed, and cleaned Connor's room. Connor was shocked when he entered his new BIG BOY room! The BIG BOY bed was really exciting for him- but it still couldn't quite compete with the floor under the train table on the first night! Since his first night with the BIG BOY bed he has slept cozy in his... what he calls his "Fancy Fancy Bed" :)

Connor goes to the kiddie park...

Just recently we took Connor to the kiddie park, he loved it! The rides were all very age appropriate, not too scary - but still fun! He really had a great time, he rode the boats at least 5 times, rode the airplane about 4 times, and rode all of the others at least 3 times each. He had such a great time that we went back later that afternoon with daddy! When it was time to go home Connor was very upset- so much so that he threw himself on the ground begging to stay! Now every time that we pass by Connor squeals with delight and begs to go to the kiddie park!

Congrats Tay!!!

This posting is a little late-
I want to say congratulations to my wonderful brother in law, Tay. He graduated just recently from A&M, Tay we couldn't be prouder of you! We are all so happy for you and wish you the best of luck! Here are a few pictures from his graduation!

yummy in my tummy!

This afternoon Jared and I picked up Connor and took him to the park- where he decided to flip out of the swing!!!!! When he sat up he looked at me and said "Lets go slide mommy!" after a quick look over we headed to the as Connor would say... "big boy slide cause I a big boy mommy"
After a nice evening at the park I took Connor to get some Amy's ice-cream! The ice-cream cone and scoop were the size of his head- but that didn't stop him from digging in! He explained to me that "the ice-cream store is my favorite, I like ice-cream, I like to lick it!" every other time that he licked the gigantic scoop of sugared deliciousness he would say "that yummy mommy, yummy in my tummy!"
When we were all done we headed over to Whole Earth Provisions and played with the toys for about 20 minutes, he insisted upon showing me every car they had within reaching distance!
All in all little boys had quite the exciting afternoon..... I wonder what we will do tomorrow! :)

Time with Yha - Yha

We went and spent a day in Gruene with my mom and my Aunt Delores- and her beautiful grand daughter! We had some delicious lunch, some amazing dessert, and some much needed family time! Connor really enjoyed getting to spend time with the baby - since then he keeps telling me "I like babies mommy- their my friend!" :) Mom and Delores here are a few pictures from the weekend! ~Enjoy!

Meeting Mr. Easter Bunny

Connor met the Easter bunny and was quite impressed! I thought that he would be terrified of a BIG GIANT BUNNY, but instead he welcomed him with open arms! For the entire week prior to seeing him Jared and I both explained to Connor that he would get to visit the Easter Bunny- we read Easter Bunny books, sang bunny songs, hopped around the house like bunnies, so when the time came Connor wanted to bring the Easter bunny a gift! We found a plastic egg and stuffed it with stickers and then drew a wonderful picture of Connor and the Easter bunny together! When we arrived the bunny was still in the back... eating his carrots... so we waited and waited and waited some more until the Easter bunny finally arrived! There he came strolling down the breeze way- that's when Connor looked at me very concerned hands up in the air and asked me "why he not hopping?" I had to explain to him that really big bunnies could walk! All in all our visit to our big furry friend went well! :)
