A Big Adventure

On Saturday, Chris decided to take Connor on a
big hike out in Moab to see "Delicate Arch". Chris's
friend Cory and his little guy, Nick, went along. They
ended up having a great time and the boys did great too!
Here are some pictures from the day.

Little Buddies!

Chris got off work a little early and the weather was
so great so we walked down to the park. Connor's
friend Nick was able to meet us there. They always
have so much fun together!

Just too cute!

Steamboat Springs

Last weekend we went to Steamboat and stayed in a big
condo with my whole family. Everyone got to go
snowmobiling (except me and Connor!) and just
enjoy some great time together in a beautiful place.


Here we saw a BALD EAGLE (the one in the middle)
on our way up there! When we first saw him, he was
right near the road so we got a great first look. They
are HUGE, at least 2 feet tall. We felt privileged to see
such a special sight.

Read Me!

This is a picture from Super Bowl weekend. Chris,
with our friend's Tony and Nicole's sweet little
girl Ella, and of course Connor Lee. I think this is
a super cute pic, but I'm also posting it so everyone
can get used to the idea of what Chris will look like holding
TWO kiddos....











yes, that's right...










I am....











PREGNANT!!!


I'm almost 12 weeks along, due September 22.
A very special day because that was my Grandma's
birthday:) We had our first appointment and
ultrasound and all looks well. Good, strong heartbeat
and baby was kicking and moving all around! I have
been feeling very yucky and look forward to this next
week passing and being done with the first trimester.
We are so excited and continue to pray for a healthy
Mom and Baby! We'll keep ya posted!!

Dad's Boots!

Chris got some new snow boots and, seeing as how Connor
is obsessed with wearing his own boots, he was super
excited to try on Daddy's. They are as tall as his whole leg!


"Killer boots man!"


Posing for the camera:) For some reason he
thinks he needs to squat down when he poses.
I think it's because we are usually squatting down
to his level.

My Helper, My Mom

I've pretty much been MIA the last two weeks, blogging
and otherwise, because I was down and out with a really
bad respiratory virus. It was the worst and longest sickness
I can remember having ever, let alone since I've had an almost
two-year-old to chase around. Thank goodness, my Mom
was able to come out for most of the two weeks and help with
Connor and the millions of other chores I was neglecting. I
don't think I would have survived without her and of course
my selfless, doting husband:) A BIG Thank You to you both
and everyone else who helped us through the last couple weeks.


Here's Connor and my Mom getting some fresh air.
They were playing out back and he came in to get
"his" chair . He set it by Mee-maw and then (you can't
really tell in the pic) he worked hard to get his legs
crossed, just like hers. So cute:)

Zamboni Ride!

One of Chris's patients owns the ice rink here in town
and offered a ride on the zamboni to Connor during
one of the hockey games. We knew Connor would love
that so Chris and my Dad took him. What a special treat!
