Some new pics

Connor loves riding in his new cozy coupe!  This is his first "Go!" (That's what he says for car)  He's growing up way too fast for me these days.  He's loving the warm sunshine and would spend every minute of his day outside if I'd let him.  I'm sure it'll just get worse now that he has a cool car to ride!  I have to say he's a patient boy because I bought this for him a day before Mac was coming home from a business trip and thought it'd be a sinch to put together.  Well, after about an hour of trying I gave up and decided this would be a daddy project.  To my defense Mac even said he was surprised at how much went into putting it together.  It made me think how lucky I am to have a loving husband and how hard it'd be to be a single mom.  

This is Connor devouring his pears one day.  I wish you could see the juice running down his chin and the grunting sounds he made while eating...you'd think it was his first time eating a pear.

Happy Earth Day!

Our Easter Weekend!

For Easter weekend we went to Grandma and Grandpa Burton's farm! It was time to brand the new calves and give shots to all the cows.  Connor had a blast with his miniature whip and riding on the four wheeler with dad!  It was a good time spending time with the family...especially after we got the stink off of us!  Thanks Uncle Lynn and Aunt Cheryl for letting us come help!

Happy Anniversary!

Mac and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary today!  I can't believe we're no longer newlyweds.  In our three years of being married we've lived in 3 places... Provo, Utah--Austin, Texas--and now Vernal, Utah!  It's been the best and most exciting 3 years of our lives!  We're also a family of 3 now...blessed parents of our little Connor boy.  I think 3 should be our lucky #.

On a side note, I have the coolest husband ever....Mac gave me "Twilight!"    

Need some advice!!

Okay here is my dilemma.  We have 3 bedrooms in our house.  As of right now our spare bedroom is empty besides our card table which serves as our computer stand.  So, I've been saving up for furniture for our "guest bedroom."  Well now that it's time to buy it I'm having second thoughts.  Here they are...Connor will be growing out of his crib within the year and hopefully by then we'd have another addition to our family. I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself (no second child yet) but investing in the right kind of furniture and planning ahead is crucial especially when you don't have money just falling into your lap.  Would you put a toddler bed in with the nursery or should we give him his own room and just not have a guest bedroom?  One more thought on the issue....I could buy a platform bed for Connor instead of a toddler bed which could serve as a guest bed when we have visitors and then just have Connor in the nursery for that time.  Because really 99% of the time we don't have visitors sleeping over.  But that 1% of the time it'd be nice to have a comfortable bed for them to sleep on.   Ahhh...people have told me it'd be too hard with nap times and bedtimes to try and put two young kids together.  What do you think?  All you moms who have experience!  And even those who aren't parents yet!  Sometimes you just need a little advice from someone outside looking in to the problem.

We have turned over a new leaf! We have been lifetime PC users, but no more.  After having our laptop crash we bought a brand new hp computer with Windows Vista that gave me headache after headache within the first month!  While visiting my brother and best friend on our last vacation we were convinced to give apple a try.  After playing around for a while on their computers, I was totally convinced it would be worth the investment.  After all they cost twice as much as a PC, but after all our troubles I wanted a computer to last!  It's so easy to use and there are so many cool components to it that make putting newsletters, scrapbook pages, slideshows, baby books, baby growth/milestone charts together in a sinch!  No regrets here!
