CATCHING UP

Connor is getting so big he is crawling every where of course he started crawling around 6 months and I think he is going to be walking soon. He walks along furniture really well. A couple of days ago Donovan and I were playing with Connor on the grass and he stood up by himself and held himself there for a little while before falling back onto his bum. He sure is growing up to fast. This outfit my grandma bought for him from cabela's it is so cute the hat says I will hunt for hugs.

This is our newest niece. Donovan's sister Brandie had a baby girl on Aug. 30th she was 5lbs 13 ounces and 21 inches long and her name is Mallory. She is so adorable. Donald is our nephew Donovan's oldest sister's son, he really likes to hold his cousins!

Connor thought it would be fun to get into the flour in the pantry. He was having so much fun I of course had to take a picture before I cleaned up the mess.

Connor is also great at helping me with the dishes. He is just getting into everything and is so curious about what we are doing around the house.

I had a mishap with my car a week ago. I was on my way to work on Tuesday morning and I rolled the nissan. I was very lucky that Connor was not in the car and that I only had scrapes, bumps, and bruises. I am so blessed to not have any worse injuries. I do have to say the Nissan held up around me in the driving seat better than I thought but of course it is not fixable.

We took a very quick trip to Oregon. We were there only a couple of days but my Aunt and Uncle and cousins had not met Connor. We unfortunately did not make it to my grandparents in Oregon we just did not have time. But luckily they will be coming to visit in a month or two. Connor loved to play in the sand but hated the water of the ice cold Oregon coast.

Brooke just loved Connor she took him everywhere with her it was so cute.

My uncle Dennis cut a hole in this box for Connor to play in and he loved it!!

This is Connor walking around the living room with one of his many toys. It is very true what people say once you have kids time flies by :)

Flaming Gorge

The trip to Flaming Gorge was a blast. The only downside is it was cold who would of thought it would have been cold in August. We still had a lot of fun. We did the tour at the Dam on Saturday because it was to cold to get into the water. It was fun to watch Connor look all around at all of the equipment at the Dam.

Eventhough it was cold we still had to let Connor play in the water and sand. He loved the muddy sand and was okay with the water as long as it was only on his hands or feet. The life jacket sure made it hard for him to move around but he was still so cute!

Donovan thought I was crazy when I packed the whole house but we have never gone camping with Connor and I didn't know what to take so I just brought tons of stuff. But it turned out because we used a lot of the things that I brought.

It was cold especially at nights and in the mornings so we bundled Connor up and had him wear gloves and a hat it was so cute. With all the clothes we made him where he was probably sweating but we really didn't want him to get cold in the middle of the night. Connor did fairly well in the tent we took his pack and play for him to sleep in at night. He lasted a while but then he woke up crying so Donovan took him, he snuggled right up to Donovan and slept the rest of the night.

Uncle Karl is so cute with Connor he has so much fun with him. It was fun to have the whole family on the trip. We have never all gone together as a family with all of our spouses and it was alot of fun hopefully we can make this a yearly trip:)

The girls on the boat!!! Friday was not hot but it was warm enough to go on the boat and enjoy the water a little. Flaming Gorge is so pretty, but the water is cold and since it was not hot outside us girls didn't get in the water till we new that we were heading back to camp. But of course Karl and Dan had to wakeboard even in the freezing cold water.

Connor is helping Donovan pull Uncle Dan up on the wakeboard. Connor loves the boat! He always has so much fun and luckily the movement of the boat usually puts him right to sleep it is great!!

We all had a really great time at Flaming Gorge, I was worried to take Connor camping for the first time but it turned out great, good thing for family, it was a blast to have us all together!!!!
