Connor and his cars

Connor is such a little boy, he has been playing with his cars all day driving them around making little noises while he pushes them along. He will even grab the remote to the tv and drive that around too. It looks like I will be needing to get him some new cars because he is getting a little bored of some of them and has been "driving" anything he can get his hands on!

These are the days of our lives

I had a rough day today. First I find out that Trevor is now working six days a week with no lunches and mostly shifts from 12-10. I know we need the money and I am so proud of him and very grateful to him for working so hard but I am selfish and want to see him more. Then, Connor made a huge mess with his food, he would eat one piece of chicken then throw a piece on the floor, eat one, throw one this pattern continued until it was all gone. Then, later I placed him in his playpen so that I could clean our very dirty kitchen, as I am cleaning I hear "hrrrrmph!" I look over only to see him doing a pull up on the side of the playpen and do a summer salt out of it and land flat on his back. Luckily there was a pillow right in front of it so he was fine. Thank goodness! So, now that the playpen is no longer an option I have no choice but to let him roam freely among our living room which is full of things to get into. He wont leave the garbage can alone, he wont leave pictures on the coffee table alone, he finds little things on the floor to put in his mouth, and he hits the front of the glass cabinet and I am afraid it will fall over on him. Then it was so damn hot in here so I got the window fan down and set it in front of the couch while I worked and tried to keep an eye on Connor. Well, he decided it would be fun to stick his little finger it the fan while it is running, luckily I caught him before he got hurt!
Enough is enough, time for a nap. Oh but Connor didn't think so, so all he did was cry, and cry and cry until I got him back up. After about an hour I put him back down for a nap with a sippy cup and he cried and cried because he wanted a bottle not a sippy. So I gave him a bottle and he went right to sleep, yay!
The story ends good, Trevor got off work early and made me dinner! (that's a shocker!!) Connor went to bed early and is sleeping through the night (so far). Oh motherhood, I wouldn't trade it for anything!

The 4th of July

We had so much fun on the 4th! First we went to the parade, it was Connor's first parade and he loved it! His favorite was the marching bands. He would smile and clap his hands it was so cute. Then me and my mom and Connor went back to my house while my dad and brothers went to a car show in which they entered my dad's car. Trevor was at home with us because he was feeling sick. After a few hours we went to go watch the fireworks at that field by the site building in IF. We had hot dogs and just hung out until the show started. Connor was really tired by the time the fireworks started but he still watched them with great curiosity! This was the first time we had brought Connor to the fireworks. By the time we got Connor home he was asleep, he didn't even wake up when we got him out of his car seat. We put him in bed and he was out for the night. We had a great time with my family and Connor is just so cute!!

A day at the park.

Today after Trevor got off of work we got the stroller out of the trunk of our car and strapped Connor in. We went out the front door and started to take a walk. We walked down to a park that is about a mile away from where we live. When we got there we let Connor play around and took turns going down the slide with him. It was so nice to get out of the house today! I love taking walks in the sunshine with my guys! Connor is changing so much everyday, it is amazing. He is running a little bit now and walks every where. I really don't think that life can get any sweeter for us!

My Birthday

Today was my 23rd birthday and it was awesome. Trevor was so great to me today. He made me breakfast and then took me to have my hair done which I love. Then we had dinner with my family and watched Gran Torino which I also love. We took some family pics that turned out pretty good. I didn't realize how fat I've gotten these days. Connor was in a really good mood today so that was a plus!!!

Fathers day

So father's day was yesterday. Trevor had to work for a few hours but then was able to get off. We just stayed at home and watched some movies and I made him a nice dinner. Here are some pics of Connor and Trevor.
