New Teeth!

Earlier this month while Nathan was in Washington for training AGAIN, Conner and I spent a week in Idaho Falls with my family. Conner's top two teeth came through while we were there so he is now up to four teeth...a few more and he'll be ready for steak! :) We had lots of fun on our trip except for when Conner's teeth were hurting and he was a little grouch...and Dad got to miss the whole thing... :)

Here he is showing off his new pair of teeth!
My Mom bought Conner and my niece Kynzee cute new jammies so we wanted to take some pictures of them together...but Kynzee was too interested in poking Conner in the eyes and pulling his hair and Conner just wanted to put his feet on her face...


Conner LOVED playing the piano with my Mom...I don't know how he could have any musical abilities in his genes because of Nathan and I. Nathan was actually encouraged by his piano teacher to quit taking lessons. :)



Here is Conner looking snazzy in his new church outfit.
Just like Daddy! :)
One last random thing...Conner has FINALLY started holding his bottle on his own and it is sooo nice!

Animal Overload

We decided to visit Nathan's brother and his wife in Boise over Labor Day weekend. On Saturday we took our kids to the Zoo. It was both Conner's AND Nathan's first time...I know I also have a hard time believing that he has never been to the Zoo! Here are some pictures from our visit. Although Conner would look in the animal cages I know that we were much more excited about it than he was.
Conner's first bareback elephant ride.

It was fun seeing Kevin, Lena, and their kids. We are really sad that they are moving back to Washington...especially since we just found out that we will be staying here in Twin Falls. Now that we finally know where Nathan's job wants him we can begin the search for a house! I am really ready to get our own place. Hopefully it will be in a neighborhood where people won't cut our bike locks to steal our bikes and where our tires won't get slashed...yes both happened to us just since we moved here. I didn't realize that we were going to be living in the ghetto…

Anyways we made it back to Twin Falls on Labor Day in time to go to the county fair… So Conner got to see even more animals! Here he is staring in a cage at some ugly turkeys...thinking "I can't wait until Thanksgiving..."



Ahh and then the reason why we went to the fair... to get a delicious elephant ear! Apparently everyone else had the same idea so we had to wait in a massive line. I normally wouldn't have been patient enough to wait so long but I thought "Hey I only get to eat a giant scone once a year so I'm not missing out!"
I wanted honey butter on mine and Nathan didn’t so we each decided to get our own… BAD IDEA! I forget how big they are and I didn’t want to waste so I tried to eat the whole thing…can you say stomach ache.
It was nice being able to spend alot of time together over the weekend and we had alot of fun too! :)
