Noah William...

We welcomed our little Noah into the world on Tuesday June 4th at 4:22pm. He came about a week early, which was fine by me! : )  He weighed 7lbs 1 oz and was 20 1/2 " long. (Same as Connor)  He has lots of blonde hair and looks exactly like Connor!  No mistaking them being brothers. ; )  He has been an amazing baby minus 2 nights of keeping his mama up for most of the night. He's on a great sleep pattern now being a week old...sleeping 3 hours at a time between feedings (Noah is a great nurser) and his siblings are in love with him as are his parents!









All About Abigail...

Abigail has become such a fun spirited little girl (not baby).  She loves to play dress up everyday especially with her friends and her cousin Addilyn.  Her friends are mainly from our playgroup that we have once a week.  Everyday she wakes up and asks if her friends are coming over to play today or if it's Tuesday since she knows that's her day to play with her friends. We'll be doing a preschool this fall with the same group of kids, which should be a lot of fun.  







 Abby was a little more apprehensive in the corrals, so daddy put her on his hip and she was happy as can be.



Abigail started a ballet class this week and was so excited because she's been talking about dance class for an entire year now!  She has a sweet teacher and will be doing a few classes this summer and beginning a full year in August.
 Abigail loves to read! Some of her favorites are Pinkalicious, Llama Llama books, Shoe La La, Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots, and all Princess books. She's all GIRL! : )

All About Connor...

I feel like there is so much to talk about with Connor...this past year we started a music program called, "Let's Play Music." It's a group class that teaches kids starting at age 4 or 5 basic music skills....singing, note recognition, rhythms, scales, all in a really fun way.  Connor really enjoyed the class and performed in the end of the year recital.  



 Connor finished his 3rd season of soccer this Spring (no pictures) and has just started his first season of coach pitched baseball.  I was able to make it to his first game and it was so cute and funny to watch.  Connor is the youngest on his team, most are 6 already and going into First Grade, but he holds his own and is still among the tallest on his team. I think he's really going to love it!

 Connor loves crafts or as he'd call it "projects." He definitely has his daddy's mind (an engineer's mind).  He's always trying to figure out how to make something...a kite, a garbage picker upper (our term), books, cards, and as of recently he's helped his dad make a lacrosse stick and a bow and arrow.
 In April we headed to Talmage to help out with cows and Connor absolutely loves it!


Connor has become a very good beginning reader...we have 3 volumes of the BOB books and he can read most with only a little bit of help.  Mac and Connor finished two of the Magical Treehouse books and I think reading comprehension is not quite there yet, but I know he enjoys the one on one time before bed with his daddy.  Our next book I think we'll try is Charlotte's Web.  Connor is such a fun boy and we love how excited he is about life and how much spunk he brings to our family!

A Funny Conversation...

My friend overheard this conversation at her house the other day between the kiddos...

Jaley: We're not watching TV today, so find something else to do.

Abby: Like Sundays we don't watch TV.

Conley: But, sometimes we do.

Connor:Yeah, but just church stuff like prophets and football, right Conley?

Conley: Yep!

T U B I N G






Disney Land

We really enjoyed our time at Disney Land and California Adventure Park!  
Abby's favorites:
Meeting all the princesses (Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, etc)
Dumbo Ride
Carousel
The Nemo Submarine

Connor's favorites:
Space Mountain (can't believe he wasn't scared!)
Cars Ride
Being selected to be a Jedi in the Star Wars show and fighting Darth Vader
We had perfect weather and really enjoyed making some fun memories with our family!










SAN DIEGO

In January we took the family on a trip to San Diego to see Grandma and Grandpa Burgan and Uncle Seth!  The kids absolutely fell in love with the beaches...we visited Coronado Island, La Jolla, and stayed a block away from Mission Beach.  On our day trip to Coronado Island I forgot to pack towels, thinking the kids would only get their toes wet and wouldn't possibly be swimming in the ocean water in January....I was wrong!  They had so much fun running from the waves that Abby tripped a few times and got soaked head to toe.  It was worth it!
