Update

Last weekend we were able to go up to Idaho Falls for a visit. We had lots of fun hanging out with family and friends. One night we went out to eat at Famous Dave's and they had this pig mascot walking around...

My niece Kynzee is fearless and walked right up to it but Conner didn't want to get too close...

Conner spent the rest of the weekend getting lots and lots of kisses from his cousin, whether or not he wanted them...She is the most loving little girl...her mom said that in the morning she has to kiss all of the stuffed animals that are in her crib before she'll get out of bed. :)

Besides our trip...

We have grass!

If you look really close... but it will be about a month before we can walk on it...sigh. So we have been going to the park alot lately because Conner LOVES being outside.

We have been busy working on all sorts of home projects. Nathan built these lovely shelves in our garage for our storage. (oh how I love being married to a handy man!) :)

We want to restain our table, chairs, bookshelf, and bed sooo I have been sanding our furniture like crazy! I will post pics when we are finally finished with the massive project. I have also been working on Conner's room. I am all done except for hanging the valance...pics to come... AND I am working on a headboard project. I found this awesome metal piece when we were in Spokane and thought that it would be cool above our bed.

So far I have gotten off all of the rust and primed it...once again I will put pictures up as soon as I'm done and it's up on the wall... I just hope it looks as good as it does in my head! :)

Lately Conner has been OBSESSED with watching his "Baby Signing Time" dvd. He walks around the house singing the theme song and keeps pointing to the dvd player saying "On, On, On." Here he is vegging in front of the t.v. He would watch it over and over again if I would let him.

I guess that it is at least teaching him something ... He is starting to pick up on some of the signs. His favorite is "Please." He rubs his tummy and says "Peeese." It is sooo cute! It is hard not to give him everything that he asks for because he is being to polite! oh and because he is really cute... :)

Memorial Weekend

We spent our memorial weekend in Washington. Nathan's wonderful Grandma Gilbert passed away and her funeral was on Saturday. Although it all was very sad it was great to see so much family and we managed to have some fun too. On Monday we spent the day playing in Spokane with Nathan's brother and his wife. My sister-in-law Lena's parents were so nice to take our kids for the entire day! We did ALOT of shopping and spent WAY too much money! Since the boys let us shop so much we let them go go kart racing. We finished up our day eating a P.F Changs...my absolute favorite! Conner had some fun too...Here he is enjoying a bath with his cousins. I thought he would be scared with other kids in the tub but nope he loved it!

His cousins also had a blow up bouncy house that Conner liked jumping around and screaming in. If he was a little older I think he would be begging for one too!

On the drive home Conner did great! He slept 5 of the 7 hours so we were pretty grateful! We spent so much time in the car last weekend that I taught him how to sign "more" when he wants another snack...maybe I should teach him a new trick on every long car ride instead of putting on a movie for him like usual...haha!
