Christmas has come and gone. Just so you all know that my Christmas tree and decorations are down and put way.

This is Parker's second favorite place(the table or anywhere there is food is first) Connor's bed. After a minute or so of struggling he gets up and finds Con's shark and starts to babble to it. I just wish he would get in the middle and not hang out by the edge the whole time. The kid likes adventure I guess. Erika invited us up weeks ago to play in the snow. Connor didn't like the sled part as much as riding the four wheeler.

Raiders dad came up for Christmas. Connor was interested with the dinosaur all night and kept asking if he could take them home. Owen brought his present over and Connor opened it and looked at me with a big smile, tapped the box and asked take it home.

Carrie tried to make Parker walk. He took four steps. Thanks Erika for having your camera out and ready.

Well friends another birthday has come and gone. I think Raider finally got sick of hearing me talking about how I don't like running by myself. I am one of those people who hear a story and think it will happen to me. For example there was a daughter and a mom running and some guy got out of jail or broke out and attacked them. Even though this was years ago i still think about it. Its nice to have especially these past couple of weeks when it was so cold and stormy I could still run. The boys like it to, I put it up to the highest it will go and they send car down it.

It was one of those days were I just didn't want to look at the same 4 walls again. So Raider called up Krissy to go to Boondocks.

A little Batman action!

This ride cost 2 bucks but its worth it to see their faces when its over. It called Typhoon, a screen simulated roller coaster. There is wind that blows on your face and the seats jiggle you around.

I am not sure how many people know about the Thanksgiving dinner story. The nursery leader in my ward wanted to do a dinner for the kids. We are not quite sure why. The kids eat like kids. She wanted 10 pounds of potatos made and I can't remember how big the turkey was. She had the kids dress in costumes. Can you call paper hats costume. After a few minutes of sitting the saw that the gym was a big place to run around and thats what they did. I have a feeling that I'll be in nursery till Park turns 3.

Parker is really learning to climb. He struggles for a few moments to get into the chair and then when he is in he flashes a smile and claps.

Erika invited us to go Kaysville's light parade. There is nothing like a little family bondage. I am always grateful for the older boy cousins that around to entertain Connor. Thanks Erika for having your camera always ready to take some snap shots of my family.

Well James and I learned our lesson. We can not take Connor Christmas shopping now. James found this tool box set and threw it in, well you guessed it Con saw it.

Don't you just love it when you kids can entertain themselves. Parker likes get his blanket and pull it over his head and take it off, too bad it doesn't last to long

I am a fan of Kangaroo Zoo, but my Connor falls asleep on the way home and I don't get a nap. I heard that the Classic Fun Center is fun place to go. I called Stacie up and tried it out. It was great we were the only ones there. It was a great deal the pirates cove and bouncing unlimited for 7.50 or so. I didn't think we would be able to get Connor out of the cove part.

We went to eat afterward. I just thought that Park was cute in the chair waiting for more food to come. I can't put to many pieces down for him, because he just puts them all in his mouth one right after another.

Home improvement time. I was alright with getting windows, I would have liked to have done something on the inside. It was a good thing we did it I can stand by the windows and not feel a draft.

I am a little slow these days. These are the pictures that I wanted to show this morning. My mind was not fully functioning at 6 am when Parker was wide awake. This is Connor's first trip to the Dentist office. He went it in and sat in the chair until it was his turn. And then he wanted nothing to do with it. But at least he sat on my lap and let them work.

Connor was invited in to see how they would clean his teeth. Usually the most kids stand by the parents head and watch. But my friend had to crawl up and get as close as he could.

I thought these were fun pictures. I forgot what a pain it can be to bath little adventurous people. Always standing, trying to get to the faucets and letting the water out. I put Connor up front to try to stop him but it doesn't always work, Connor is just a wiggly.

This year for halloween I didn't bother with buying a fancy costume. I found this at D.I. ( my new favorite store) for 2 bucks, it's a Batman cape it came with a mask. But of course Con only wore it for a few minutes and then he was done. And it was always upside down He would not let you put it on the right way, and if you tried he take it off and turn it around

I would have but this with the other post today but it took me so long to figure how to scan the picture I gave up. But I finally figured it out yeah for me!I forgot about this picture until I was cleaning my room the other day. Stacie and I are famous for going to all sorts of expo's. This was from the What a Women Wants Expo. People rent this photo both for parties and wedding. It was free. The first time we saw this both last year I didn't do it. Connor didn't care either this year he threw a little fit when Stacie and her girls went it I told him I would take him but he wanted Stacie.

Mom got a bunch of Lagoon tickets from her work and gave us kids enough for our families. Raider and I kept putting off going. Well the day we went was on of the last big days before the place closed. Mistake. But again I was surprised again at how well Connor did with waiting. Lady bud drop of the first ride he did. He did of a little crying, then he had to move into another seat as you can see he didn't want to stay on. Once the ride moved and he found out that it was fun he could not get enough of the rides. So it looks like we will be getting tickets.

Yeah!! I have had a paint sample on my west wall for what feels like months. I told Raider that I thought that since it is Conference weekend we should do a project. Well Conference came and went and we didn't do it. He woke up on Monday and started to tape.

Before

After. I know what you guys are thinking its so dark but this picture was taken before we put up our new light fixture in this kitchen. There wont be pictures on it for awhile I want to take new family pictures and then I have to make a decision on how to hang them. I HATE DECISIONS.

It seems like I am obsessed with videos. But they are fun. We bought Connor the movie Sandlot. And we watch it more than George! It is funny to watch him hit and try to catch the ball. He puts the mitt up in the air like the character Smalls and waits for the ball to land in it. And of course gets upset when it doesn't. He'll spit on the ball before he pitches and also tries to pull his knee like a pitcher would. Con like to take his mitt places. He wore his mitt all over Walmart, goes to bed with it and of course has it when watching the movie.

When James finished painting Connor's room I always felt like it needed something else. I went to the mall a couple of days ago. There is a little shop that sells those peel and stick things. And they had George. I showed Conn of course he smiled and said George over and over. I was not sure if I should get it or not , so I put it back and told James about it that night. So we went to the mall the next day and I showed him, and of course we got them.
I wish I could have video his excitement. He would come in his room and say George wall, George wall! He normally goes into his room and gets a toy and then leaves, but that night he would sit on his bed, changing table, toy chest and just stare at George. When James came home from work he got all excited said Daddy George wall. He wanted James to go and see his room. Con ran in first and put up his hands like a model on the Price is Right.

Sorry I know that this is a bad recording. This is one of my favorite parts about Grace's volleyball games. I love to watch her and her teammates do what ever this is called. I love going to my nieces and nephews games. I don't make it to every one's games but I am proud of all of them. I know they work hard and try their best. I wish would have tried harder when I was in track, or trying out for a team.

This is the second year that I have done the Step out Diabetes walk. It is a nice easy walk and you end up at the zoo for free. This year was more crowded but now were near as crowded as the Race for the Cure.Can you believe that Connor held still long enough to get his face painted!

I asked Livia to come because this year Raider had to work. I am glad that she could come. The had the mascots come and walk around. Stacie took Connor to see them and he freaked out. Then they came in where we were eating lunch he had to sit on Lulu's lap or mine. That made lunch fun.

Can you see the diffrence between the walks there is still room to move around!!

It was a nice afternoon so before James had to go work we had a little picnic. I wonder when Connor will start eating like Parker.
