Disneyland

I want everyone to know that yes, I know these blogs are completely out of order and totally random, but hey, at least I'm doing it right? We got to go to Disneyland the other day and it was such a blast. Connor was hesitant at first and it took him a while to realize we really were at the happiest place on earth, but he figured it out eventually and had a ton of fun. It was especially fun because my Aunt Jenny came with my cousin Jackson who is only a year older than Connor. They seemed to get along and it's fun having someone that wants to do the same things as Connor. P.S. Jackson is also one of the cutest kids ever!

On the tram with Nanny Janny
First stop, Monsters Inc., he got a little scared so we were unsure of how the rest of the day would go.
Walking with aunties
This is a face I saw a lot throughout the day, not sure what to make of it.
Riding the Caterpillar train. Still unsure of how he feels about this place
He perked up once he saw this sign, apparently Connor can read and saw that it said "Cars" so he got super excited
Even more exciting was getting to meet Lightning McQueen and Mater in real life! Connor is currently obsessed with cars so this was so fun to see!
Riding the Ferris Wheel, we got in trouble because Connor wouldn't sit down. He just wanted to stand and look at everything below.
Toy Story Mania, Connor loved this ride and surprisingly kept the 3D glasses on the entire time without even touching them.
Meeting cousin Jackson and not sure how he feels about it.
Talking to the goats
Jackson being adorable as ever and giving Connor a hug
Riding the train, I literally had to yank Connor off crying because he didn't want to get off.
Aunt Jenny and Nanny Janny taking pictures of themselves. I just thought I looked funny in the background
Riding the carousel, even though it doesn't look like he is having fun, he is. I also had to yank him crying off this ride as well.
Jackson and Connor getting ready to drive real cars!
Connor taking the wheel and loving it
Trying to jump into the water on It's a Small World. He still loves this ride and kept pointing to things and saying "WOW!"
Sweet Aunt Jenny bought Connor and Jackson these bubble blowing guns which were a big hit and it was so fun watching them play with them together. I can't wait for these two to get to hang out more.

Connor wasn't to pleasant when we wanted him to try on hats
Most of the gang at the end of the night. A fun trip, even though we wish Danny could have been with us. But no worries, we will be going back with him in a couple of weeks! Yipee!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend we went to DC to visit Danny's sister Ann and her family before Danny deploys. It was such a fun trip!! We just hung out every day and it couldn't have been more fun. I wish we would have taken more pictures but alas we did not.

On Monday we went to a rose garden party. It was so beautiful and the hosts were so gracious to have us over. They had so much to do for the kids and tons of food, it was great! It was also great when Connor threw a can of rootbeer into the fish pond. I'm not going to lie, this child has definitely made me feel so embarrassed to be his mother recently.
They had these fun pumps that blew up balloons that would shoot into the sky! Danny was so awesome and just kept blowing them up for kids even though it was so so freaking hot in the sun!
We gave the girls a makeover on one of the nights, it was really fun! I hope we have a girl next!
Connor loved to climb up onto Emmetts desk and play on the computer...again another one of those embarrassing moments, but you just have to laugh.
On our last day we got to go see Leia perform with her preschool and sing songs. It was so awesome and she did great!
This is Connor watching Leia. And after this we did go to Georgetown because I really wanted to try DC cupcakes. It was a fun experience but in my personal opinion the cupcakes were not so good, I don't know, it might be because I don't like buttercream frosting. But we still had fun walking around and going through some shops. I even found a couple of skirts that I loved and Danny bought for me, score!

Utah stop

On our fun and exciting move from Michigan to California we took a one day breather so that Connor and I could meet up with Danny's family. We were both so excited to see everyone since Katie's family hadn't even met Connor yet! Connor loved his cousins and it was such a fun day.

Connor and his cousins played tag in the Joseph Smith memorial building...maybe not so appropriate but lots of fun when trying to stay out of the rain.
Cousins!! (I love Hannah posing on the end, definitely a future super model)

Cole and Connor trying to see what was inside of the temple
And Connor playing at the Children's museum. Connor doesn't look at the camera anymore so his pictures aren't as fun. boo.

Danny's Graduation

I am obviously a horrible blogger, but I am determined to get better since Danny will be deployed soon. So here we go....Danny is amazing and graduated from Eastern Michigan University!! It was such an awesome day and we couldn't be more proud of him. He wasn't too pleased that I made him walk, but I think he will thank me one day.

After his commencement we went to his favorite restaurant of all time...Slows in downtown Detroit. And we were so lucky to have Mike Small come meet us. He is seriously one of the best guys ever! All you single ladies.....let me know if you are interested.

Just for fun

I have been going through Connor's closet lately to clean out the clothes that no longer fit him. Yesterday I came across this fun snowsuit that he actually never even wore because I wasn't brave enough to take him out in the snow (In Michigan, it is like below zero degrees and feels even colder) But I thought I would put him in it just for fun to see what he looked like. I'm glad I have a baby to keep me entertained.

Danny's 30th Birthday

Danny's 30th birthday is this friday, but I threw him a surprise party yesterday. We started with dinner at Carrabba's and then we went to the Tigers game. It was so fun, and all of our besties where there to celebrate with us. Thanks again to everyone who came! Danny had a blast and was truly surprised about the game (He found out about the dinner) It was Connors first baseball game and he did awesome! He stayed awake for the whole thing and only got fussy at the end. He's the best baby ever. I also threw together some party favor bags which were really fun- it included a water bottle which I relabeled "Dannygua", a bag of peanuts, M&M's, Big league chew and a noise maker. It was a good night.

He's growing again!

Connor actually lost weight and stopped growing for a couple of months, but after visiting the allergist today we found out he started growing again!! He is now 27 3/4" and 18 lbs. 15 oz. Way to go big boy!
