Two Cute Videos :)

Conner now has an "extensive vocabulary" of 9 words. :) He can mimick more than that but there are only 9 that he says on a regular basis and understands what they mean. (Unfortunately "Mama" is not included...he used to say it all the time but for the past few months he has been refusing to say it!) I have been trying to get a video of him saying all of them but that is near impossible...haha...so this was the best I could do!

This is Conner's new favorite activity...and Nathan's favorite workout. :)

Lindsey's Wedding

Nathan's little sister Lindsey got married on April 10th in Rexburg so we went up for all of the festivities. Here they are coming out of the temple; they are such a cute couple!


Conner got to meet his cousins that live in Michigan for the first time and he LOVED his cousin Josh. They would follow each other around and Conner kept wanting to give him hugs. I love this picture of the two of them!

After Lindsey and Nate's reception in Blackfoot we headed home.

We had a different member of Nathan's family come and stay with us Saturday night thru Tuesday night. And then Wednesday morning we headed to Washington for their second reception in Othello. Here is a picture of the good lookin bridesmaids. ;)

While there we had Nathan's sister Whitney take some pictures out on the farm:

And of course we had to visit the dairy where Conner enjoyed his first cow ride...


We had alot of fun hanging out with so much family and it was fun to see how much fun all of the little kids had playing with each other.
Here is Conner and his cousin Lucy having fun being pulled around in a sled. I think we may need to invest in one because it is cheap entertainment and also a good workout!

Happy Easter!

This year we had a little easter egg hunt for Conner and he LOVED it! He would hand us every egg that he found for us to open because he wanted to know what was inside. He definitely wasn't very fast though...if there were any other kids on the hunt then he would have only had like two eggs...he will learn as he has siblings that it is important to be quick so you can hoard as much candy as possible! (Yes I had lots of siblings...but luckily I was one of the oldest and therefore fastest...and I wasn't sharin muahaha) :)

1 Year Pictures

We got Conner's 1 year pictures taken the beginning of March and I got the CD in the mail today. I was really excited to get them taken because the girl is really good...but the session didn't go as well as I'd hoped. When we first got there Conner was being shy and didn't want to smile. When he was finally starting to warm up the photographer told me to stand him up on a little chair. I asked my sister to go over by him to make sure that he didn't fall...but as she was headed over there he started dancing and rocked the chair over. He face planted onto the hard basement floor and skinned his nose and bit his lip! He wasn't a happy camper after that and the last thing that he wanted to do was smile for the camera! We were still able to get a few good shots but I was really bummed that he was so sad the whole time because I love his big smile.

I went with my sister the day before to get her daughters pictures taken and they turned out soooo cute, I'm jealous! I had to post a few of my cute niece here. :)

Conner's New Doo

Last night I asked Nathan to cut Conner's hair with his clippers. It didn't scare him like I thought that it was going to and he sat pretty still for a one year old. Besides being really short in the back and having a few uneven spots, I think Nathan did a good job!


Although I like Conner's hair better clean cut, one thing I miss about his extremely long hair is waking up to this every morning... :)

March Birthdays

A week and a half ago we went up to Idaho Falls for our neice Kynzee's first birthday. She looked so sweet in her pink tutu...

Conner didn't get the memo that you are supposed to be nice to the birthday girl because he kept stealing her balloons and her new toys...naughty little boy...


While we were there my father-in-law happened to be in town, and it happened to be his birthday...what a coincidence! so we were able to celebrate with Nathan's family that were in town...sorry no cute pictures of him in a pink tutu for his birthday...

We were also able to go out to eat with one of my bestest high school friends. I'm so glad that she brought along her cute little baby girl! I'm slowly getting excited for another baby...no announcement yet!

It was somewhat warm during our visit (more like us telling ourselves it was warm because it was sunny, but that darn wind!) so we went to the river and fed the ducks.

Crazy Crawler

Conner crawls like this when he doesn't have any pants on because he doesn't like his knees to touch the cold tile. :) Sometimes I put him on his hands and knees in the kitchen before I get him dressed just to watch him crawl like this because it makes me laugh! Lately though he has been ruining my fun...he just stands up because he discovered his balance and thinks that he needs to be walking everywhere!
