Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday Connor was born; just this helpless little lump of cuteness; now he's a big, inquisitive little boy. Today, he came up to me with an envelope and he'd written the letters "RCNCS" on it. He asked me what word that was. Jake and I fudged something, but it made me sad. It was so cute, but just another sign that my little Connor was growing up. Anyway, I put together a collage for my nostalgic self of him through the years:
They really change fast, and you don't realize just how much they have changed until you look back through old pictures.
They really change fast, and you don't realize just how much they have changed until you look back through old pictures. Anyway, we did have a nice birthday for Connor. He didn't really have any friends around, but we took him to Leo's Place - Kind of like Chuck-E-Cheese but with really good pizza - with my family. He had a lot of fun, and it was really low stress for us!
In case you can't tell, he wanted a "Spiderman" theme . . .
The kids played lots of games - Ellie was obsessed with this bee game. . .
Connor traded his tickets for some "bad guy teeth". . .
And we had "A Spiderman cake with frosting that's the web" according to Connor's specifications. He was elated to get a scooter "Just like Parker's". He's been talking about getting one for a long time. He was in absolute heaven yesterday when he got to ride it around the driveway. Hopefully it won't mean a trip to the ER. . . . .
OUR OTHER HAPPENINGS
We got to help my family plant their garden yesterday. It's late in the season, but the weather hasn't cooperated until now. The kids ( and Jake and I) really enjoyed the dirt. :)
The kids loved wagon rides provided by Amber
Ellie liked to do her version of "hoeing," with a hammer
And Connor liked planting seeds.
He's really enjoying having his own personal playmate - Amber. She's awesome. Want to come live with me in Seattle, sis?
Ellie really likes to exercise with Jake and I. It's hilarious to watch. I guess it's good to get them in the habit early! :)Well, that's all for us this week. Hope all of you faithful blog readers are having a good week!

mmmmm... Leo's pizza and burgers... always a favorite! I loved seeing the Connor collage! he has grown into such a well mannered adorable little boy... to his amazing parent's credit!
Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! Happy B-Day Conner!!
Yah, watch out for those scooters, I think Parker hurts himself just about once a day on his! Good to see you guys made it there in one piece!
I can't believe how big Amber is! She's darling. So are Ellie and Connor, of course. I'm glad he had a good birthday.
Glad you're all safe and sound! Happy B-day Connor.
So how old did Connor turn this year? Agreed, they grow up too fast!
