Connor's First Visit to the Dentist

Today Connor went to the Dentist for the first time. I know I am totally a slacker he should have been a lot sooner, but, better late than never right ! Connor did great we went to a pediatric dentist he watched a movie while they worked on his teeth. Connor let them floss and clean his teeth the hygienist asked me several times if this really was his first visit to the dentist because he was being so good. I am so glad he liked the dentist we will see how his next visit goes.

Soccer Week 1

This week was the first official week of the indoor season. Connor was excited to kick the ball, it is fun to watch all of the kids huddle around the ball.
We have really focused on basketball with Connor so he really didn't have much exposure to soccer before we started the season. This puts some explanation to the picture of him picking up the ball with his hands. The game went fairly well. We only had one problem during the game the ball went behind the goal and Connor wanted to get the ball and give it to the ref, the only problem was that so did one of his teammates. So it started with Connor getting pushed, so he pushed back, and then the other boy pushed Connor again so Connor took his hand and smacked him in the face of course the boy started crying the poor ref didn't know what to do since they were on the same team. The coach talked to both boys and Connor said he was sorry and all was well and the game resumed. It was a rough first game but we had many discussions about not using our hands in Soccer especially using them to hit others. Hopefully the talking helped we will have to see how next week goes.

Connors Soccer Organization Day !

We signed Connor up for indoor soccer this year. This is the first sport he is old enough to play we are so excited Connor has been talking about playing since we signed him up a couple of months ago. Today was the first day, they did an organization day where the kids got their uniforms, met the coaches, and then they did a little clinic to teach some of the kids the rules. It was so much fun watching all of the kids chase after the ball. Next week is his first game so there will be more posts and pictures to follow.

Valentines Day

I had to work the night before Valentines Day so Donovan was great at helping get everything ready for Connor in the morning. We put paper hearts from Connor's room throughout the house leading him to the kitchen table were his valentines were waiting for him. The funniest thing of the morning is when Connor woke up and came out of his room he walked in to wake up Donovan and he said: " oh Daddy did you make a mess, we can not make messes we need to clean it up", so Connor picked up all the hearts on his way to the table.
Connor was so good to wait for me to get home to open his valentine. It was so adorable as I walked through the door I received candy and cards from my two favorite boys. Connor opened his valentines he was excited for his candy, heart crayons (thanks pinterest), and bath letters and numbers.







After we opened our valentines we cooked an amazing valentines breakfast, including heart pancakes, berry shakes, heart croissants filled with eggs, cheese, and bacon. Donovan had to head to Casper, Wyoming for work so after breakfast and a quick nap for me he was on the road. I was sad he had to leave on Valentines Day but we had a great morning and I was glad to come home and have breakfast with my boys.



It was a nice day outside and one of Connor's favorite things to do is to play outside, so we headed to the park to play, Connor was excited to play at the park and was happy to have Nana join us.






We had a great afternoon at the park. After the park we headed home and Connor and I watched movies. Donovan was in Wyoming till Wednesday night so Connor and I had the night to ourselves. I let Connor pick what he wanted for dinner and he chose Cafe Rio. Nana joined us for dinner since my Dad was working as well. After Cafe Rio we headed home and went to bed. This Valentines Day was almost perfect, I wish Donovan could have been home. Many would consider this not a great Valentines Day but I love spending time with my family, these are the days and moments that mean the most to me and I look forward to many more occasions that I get to spend with the 2 greatest boys in my life!

Story Time

Today we went to Story Time at the Library. It was a lot of fun they did a couple of songs, and a couple of books and then sent the kids home with a craft. The theme of the week was pigs. Connor had a great time. After story time Connor got to pick out his first Library book to take home.

Connor's New Room

My mom and sister have been bugging me since we moved into this house almost 3 years ago to decorate Connor's room. I love to look at different paint colors but I am not be brave enough to paint. So finally we decorated Connor's room. We also moved him to the bigger room so he would have more room to play. Connor loves tractors and Target had this really cute bed set, so tractors it is.






I still have a couple of more things to paint and hang but for the most part Connor now has a room that actually has some character, and of course he loves it.
