Bath Time!!

I just couldn't help but get my camera out....is that not the cutest face ever?!? This goes out to all of you who don't get to see Connor's beautiful smile often! We love him!*

My Hero

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel BLAH? I don't even know how it happened or when. I helped out a friend yesterday morning who had to go on bed-rest (she's expecting and the baby wants to come a little too early). She has a little girl who's close to Connor's age, so we played with her all morning and then put her down for her nap and then came home for Connor's nap. The next thing I knew Connor was awake from his nap and I had a headache and just wanted to take a long nap myself. I called my sweet husband at work to see if there was any hope he'd be coming home early that day and no such luck! So, I toughed the rest of the day out and luckily Connor was a great help and played really well. When Mac came home he layed me on our couch in front of one of my favorite shows, Jon & Kate plus 8, put a blanket over me and our electric heater by my feet. Then asked what I'd like for dinner and made me the most delicious grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup I've ever had! That's seriously what I was hungry for. Ahhh....once my hero came home and I had a little food in me my headache was gone and once again Mac came to my rescue! Thanks hon!*

Bliss

What a fun and wonderful holiday we had! Over the past couple of weeks we enjoyed hanging out with family in Talmage Utah!! Uncle Darrin and Auntie Em were back from Texas for a couple of weeks and we loved having them home! As you can see, so did Connor. It was so nice to have all the brothers and sister-in-laws all together for the holidays. Much to my liking we spent most days in our PJ's, playing cards, games, and thanks to Darrin, the Wii!! Connor got a few sledding rides in...lots of helicopter rides...and we even made a Ginger Bread House thanks to Hannah and Jonathan (great gift idea!). As always we ate way too much food...thanks to mama Dian and loved every minute of it! We hope over this coming year we'll get to see more of my side of the family and make some trips up north!

"Let it Snow"

Sunday morning we woke up to this...about a whole 2 inches of snow on the ground! Connor's first! Mac bundled him up and Connor had his first experience with real snow. I don't know if it was the snow pants making it hard for him to walk around or the mere experience of being cold and having all this "white stuff" around him, but Connor was definitely a little timid with the whole experience. We're looking forward for Mac's whole family to be together for this Christmas and to take Connor sledding in all this "white stuff." I don't know why I'm putting that in " " because Connor is not saying it, I just think I can read his mind. *wink* Well, I'd love to write more but my little boy is seeking my attention to say the least!*

Pilgrim Hats and way too much food!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We started ours off with making these cute Pilgrim hats. It was actually quite funny because Mac came home from work on Wednesday to a frustrated wife because I couldn't get them to look quite right. Mr. Domestic came to my rescue once again and made them look perfect. I know it's a little late now, but in case you want to make them next year...all you need are mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups, ginger snap cookies, and the icing.

We had such a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving this year! We left Thursday morning to Talmage to stay with Mac's parents for the weekend. Everyone made it except for his brother Darrin and sister-in-law Emily. : ( We can't wait to see them at Christmas! I think we all gained a few pounds because we just ate, played games (King, Queen, Peasant!), and watched movies. Oh except Dian and I did a little scrapbooking and made some cute cards! We were sad to have to leave, but we're already looking forward to Christmas!

GO BYU!

This past weekend we made a visit to good 'ol Provo! We hadn't been back to Provo since we were first married, about 2 1/2 years ago. It was a great sunshiny day where we enjoyed watching the Cougars beat San Diego State and even got in a little Christmas shopping. Connor is not one of the sit in your laps for very long kind of boys, so we were extremely pleased when he happily sat on our laps throughout the entire game! Of course we let him stretch his legs over half time.

Dragons and Scarecrows

To start off our Halloween festivities we made scarecrow sugar cookies for friends and neighbors this year. Sorry the picture is a little blurry, but you get the idea. The night before Halloween the elementary school around the corner had a big Halloween carnival for the kids, so we had to take advantage of dressing Connor up in his costume...he's so cute! Connor's favorite part of the night was sliding down the huge blow-up slide (Mac and I took turns going down with him and yes we were the only adults! What cool parents our little boy has!) wink*

Connor did so good with his costume, no tugging or whining, he was a pro!
