Santa has come and gone....

Connor enjoyed his second Christmas, this is the first Christmas where he some what understood what was going on! Connor must have been very good this year because he got some awsome things from the big jolly man!

Christmas is in the air....

We are going to pick up our Christmas tree today not to mention that we've had hot chocolate all weekend plus we took a family Christmas picture, Connor will see santa for the first time this week and we will be doing lots of Christmas shopping....I love this time of the year!

Connor's Birthday!

It's true, my little boy is ONE! It seems that the year just flew by, I honestly feel like I was just pregnant. Jared and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful, sweet, loving little boy in our life. The past year has been a blast, I can't wait to see what the future holds! Here are some pictures of our little guys birthday party, I'm pretty sure that he had a good time! Thank you to everyone that could make it, it really meant a lot to us!
Below is picture from Connor's birthday party and Connor on his birthday! There are a lot of pictures to see from decorations, to cake eating, to ripping into gifts! Enjoy!

Connor is turning ONE!!!!

Well my friends it is that time, Connor will be turning one on the 17th of this month, it is absolutely amazing how fast this year has gone by! We are throwing Connor a small party this weekend for family and a few friends! I took Connor to get some professional birthday pictures I think that they came out really nice! Here are a few, I will update more birthday wonderfulness after this weekend!
Also- as for the sleeping on the mattress, the first night he fell asleep on the mattress but got up three times...since then however he has slept through the night with no problems! :)

It's been a while...

To those of you that have been visiting my blog to only find nothing new...I apologize! I have lost the charger to my camera so therefore I have no way to post old pictures or to take new ones! I promise as soon as I find it or buy a new one to update you with some very cute pictures of Connor on Halloween! In the mean time I will catch you up via blogging!
If you can remember back to about a month ago you will remember our issue of Connor and his crib! Well since the climbing out incident Connor has been sleeping in his pack and play. Well,his Pop has decided to build a bed for our little guy so that he doesn't have to sleep in the pack and play anymore -he will be bringing the bed next weekend! To prepare for the new "big boy" bed we cleaned Connor's room, put away his crib (very sad moment by the way!, put away his "baby toys", and put away the pack and play - our little guy is sleeping on his mattress on the floor tonight! So why am I sharing this with you? Well, after tucking our little guy in to bed and kissing him goodnight we turned on his nightlight and closed the door, 10 min. later I checked on him to find him still on his mattress but playing with his stuffed animals...10 min. later Jared checked on him to only find the exact same thing....10 min. later I checked on him once more expecting to find him playing with his toys at the book shelf...only to find my sweet very well behaved little munchkin still laying in his bed playing with his toys. (I just checked on him for the night and he is sound asleep on his mattress!) Isn't that amazing....a 1 year old stays in bed instead of screaming, crying, crawling around, or playing with his toys! I'm sure that we have plenty of nights ahead of our sweet little boy ... being "not so sweet" but until then I will gloat about how adorable my little monkey is!

You shouldn't...

and with that being said....happy halloween/voting!!!

ahhh I found this cute!
