Happy Belated Father's Day!

Dear Dad,

You are the coolest, most fun dad EVER. I want to be just like you...which is pretty much inevitable since I am basically your little clone.

Love, Connor

Sign Language

Just in case hyperventilating, pointing, grunting, and occasional screaming for more food doesn't get the message across to Connor's rents that he wants MORE food, he has figured out a new trick: Sign Language. Loose translation: "More Blackberries please...umm how about NOW!"

Water Baby!

On Connor's real Birthday (Tuesday) we took him to the park to play with his little friends.

I think he might like the water...

Birthday Boy!

Almost 40 of Connor's family & close friends came over for a Birthday BBQ. Here are just a few highlights of the good times. Connor was happy to see everyone there and loved, loved, LOVED all his gifts (thank you!):



Connor wore his Birthday hat,

and so did Scottie...

Connor loved his cookie monster cake & cupcakes...

And so did Janeen...

Connor loved his new wagon & all the rides in the back yard...

And so did Troy (side note: I do not believe the weight limit is actually 700lbs on the wagon. Someone please arrest the Safety Police themselves!)...

After playing with all his cool new toys,

Connor was tuckered out!

Cheers & many many thanks to our wonderful family & friends:)

My favorite things...

My top 5 favorite things in life:

#5) The refrigerator. It opens. It closes. It contains lots of fun containers. Plus I LOVE everything that is in the fridge...namely food (see #2 below).

#4) Cheesing it up for the camera. Its basically my all time favorite face to make...eyes almost closed, mouth mostly open.

#3) My dad's hats. I don't want them on me. I don't want them on my mom. I just want to put them on my dad. Whenever I see one lying around I HAVE to grab it & bring it to my dad.

#2) Food. Almost any food is pretty exciting. Sometimes I get so excited I hyperventilate. Right now, my most FAVORITE food is frozen blueberries, which leave a really cool dark purple stain on my fingers and face:)

#1) Day-de. Still my most favorite toy of all. She is just so dang fast and hilarious. I usually try to give her a toy, but lately I've decided to try to give her some kisses like she gives to me. I just love that silly dog!
