Family life

Sometimes when I am tending to Connor I will stop and think "wow, I'm a mom" it still hits me funny sometimes because it doesn't seem real. I remember when I was little and I had a baby doll. I took that thing every where. My dad even made it a high chair so it could sit with us at dinner time. I would give it a bath, nurse it back to health, and change its diaper. I loved doing that and ever since then all I wanted was to be a mom. Now I am and it is everything I ever hoped for. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it is a huge struggle; a few days ago I had to take Connor to the hospital because he kept getting weird rashes all over himself. We waited in the hospital forever and Connor was tired and wouldn't hold still. He wanted to walk everywhere, first out of the room, then to the nurses station and then he found a wheel chair that he had to play with. When I picked him up he would throw a huge fit. The doctor finally saw us and decided that he was just getting some hives, they could be from an allergic reaction or because he has sensitive skin. So I get to pay a huge bill for nothing basically but that's life.
Since we have been tight on money we haven't been able to go do anything, usually we go on a "date" at least once a month with just me and Trevor but we can't cuz there isn't any funds. Thats okay though but I feel that I need a break from Connor sometimes. I know that sounds horrible but it's nice to just have some me time... I guess that's why I stay up so late. I love being a mom and a wife its the best!!

Back from Jackson

We went to Jackson Hole yesterday and it was a lot of fun even though the weather was crappy. It rained a lot but the sun did shine for a few hours. We got up at five and left at six, Connor wouldn’t sleep on the whole drive. Once we got there he went straight to Grandpa and was very happy. He wouldn’t take a nap during the day, too much to see I guess. He finally did conk out for about 20 minutes. Since Connor is walking now we went outside with him and walked around with me holding one hand and Trevor holding the other. It was sooo cute! He just got new shoes and he was having just a little trouble walking in them but after a while he got the hang of it. On the way home he cried most of the way because he was so tired. It was raining soo hard it was kinda scary. Once we got home we put Connor to bed and he slept really well. I was kinda surprised he didn’t do well on the drive because last year he did fine and slept a lot but he was only six months old then. Here are some pics of us at the car show and a few of my fam with Connor and a couple of cars I liked.
