East Texas Family!

Connor and I just got back from our almost 4 week vacation in Texas and Arkansas. He met a lot of family and friends!

Our first stop after flying into Houston was cousin Lisa's house for a family dinner and then to Aunt Loretta's to spend two nights. It was so good seeing them all! I'm glad Connor was able to meet them.

Father's Day gift for Daddy!

Ron asked me for a picture of Connor and Koogle together before Koogle passes. I thought this would make a great first Father's Day gift for him. I had Cherie Shirey with Dashing Life Photography take them. It was a rainy day so these two were the best we got. The Green Bay Packers blanket background wasn't planned, but turned out cute and Ron loves it!

First Camping Trip!

This past weekend we went to Whiskey Gulch (Kenai Peninsula) to clam dig for Connor's cousin Jack Thomas' 5th birthday party. We had a great time! Connor did great on his first camping trip. He got cold the first night we were there, but once we put him in bed with us and he was fine. He loves the outdoors like his Daddy. This was also Junior's first time to see the ocean. While he LOVES the lake, he wasn't a fan of the waves chasing him out of the water! It was obvious he was a bit scared.

Junior's first time to see the ocean. He LOVES the lake, but he didn't really like the ocean. The waves were chasing him!

3 months old!

I can't believe it's already been 3 months. He is growing up so fast. He's changed so much in the last month. He can now grab toys/rattles and control them to his mouth. He loves to suck on (eat) his hands and fingers. I think there is movement in his gums that is bugging him. He can lift his head all the way up during tummy time. Thank goodness for his My Little Lamb Cradle 'n Swing and Baby Einstein Neptune Ocean Adventure Play Gym. He LOVES them both. He also loves the dogs. He's started laughing at Junior. It's so cute. He really is a good baby...we are blessed!

More Pics!

Connor thinks he is so big and always wants to be sitting up. We have to help him of course.


We've been using our BOB stroller a lot! Just not losing any weight...






Junior loves to fetch and brings his ball to Connor to throw!

Junior is so good with him. I can't wait to watch these two grow up together!

2 months old!

We are a little late posting Connor's 2 month photos. Our computer was in the shop. He's such a good, happy baby. He's really smiling a lot and even chuckling. I am really lucky. He only cries if there is something wrong like hungry, diaper needs a change, tired, etc. All very fixable. I'm blessed to have such an easy baby. The car seat is still an issue (he hates it), but it seems to be getting better.
