Thanks Daddy!

Connor Classic:

After Connor's bath while putting him to bed
Mommy: Mmm...you smell so good!
Connor: (sniff sniff) You smell like crap!
Needless to say...I absolutely lost all parental and discipline skills on the spot. After regaining enough control to talk and wiping the laughter tears from my eyes, I asked where he learned that..."Daddy."

December Wrap-Up

SNOW MUCH FUN!
We got a lot of snow on the 23rd. We made a snowman (he actually looks like some creep who lurks in the parking lot after the bar). When he started to melt Connor said "Oh no. His little arms fell off!"

CHRISTMAS

We started out Christmas in Houston with my family. It was an exhausting drive but completely worth it.

Who needs to spend any money when the grocery store has race-cars for shopping carts. I think they would have been happy to sit here for hours. (Notice that Connor has made himself quite comfy with his foot up on the dash!)

Daddy gave Connor a hand-made tool box...and Mommy was brave enough to let Connor paint it (on her dining room table). Pretty sure we went through a whole roll of paper towels. For those of you who know me well...this activity was a practice for me in letting go...I would have liked for it to be all one color...not at all the case. The finished product is 4 or 5 different colors with lots of color mixing going on. Not at all what I would have done!

Christmas Eve was lots of hard work for Connor. He had spent the last few days with Gram and Gramp, and they wore each other out. After no nap that day he crashed on the way home after only 5 minutes...with his favorite hat on!

On Christmas morning Connor had no time to stop for breakfast. However, he did finish off the cookie that Santa only partially ate...Santa should eat all of it next year. The conversation about the cookie went like this...

Mommy: "What do you want for breakfast?"

Connor: "I'm not having breakfast. I'm just having this cookie!"

Sweet boys...

For those of you who don't already know...Connor told Santa that he wanted a Cow for Christmas. When Santa asked if the cow was going to live in his bedroom....he looked at him as if he was crazy and said, "It's going to live on the farm with all the other cows."

So...Granny and Pops "gave" Connor a cow to live at their farm. I guess this was one of those gifts that looked better on the shelf.

That is not a happy boy...we do have other pictures of him trying to get down!

I will close things up with a "Connor Classic"

The boys are sharing a room, and this usually goes pretty well...A few nights ago I heard Case wake up in the middle of the night in a good mood and he was cooing oh so sweetly. The sweet sounds were followed by Connor on the monitor

"Mommy. Mom! Mommy, Case is talking to me."

I am sure he was worried that he would be the one to get in trouble since it was still night time!

Did He Really Say That?

Sometimes I just can't believe the things that come out of his mouth. This was as we were driving (at 10:30 at night) on the way to Houston.

Connor: Mommy, look down there (he pushes my face toward the bag o' snacks). There's cookies in there. You need to get them for me.

Cute Pics of Connor

I couldn't choose just a few...so there are a lot...but he is soo cute. Enjoy!

Ready for football in the cold.
That is not a horse.

Redneck.

King of the Home Depot work bench.

Little mommies

That is a "super bandaid." (The only way Daddy could get him to stop crying.)

Bubble Head

Definitely over the weight limit.

Four Months Old

Case is four months old!! He had a rough week for his birthday week (got tubes in his ears on Wednesday), but he seems to be doing well. He is wearing...I mean eating cereal.

He makes so many cute faces!

This is a picture of him and his girlfriend sweet baby Emma. She is 4 weeks younger than him.

The Wal Mart Man

You all know who he is...the voice on the PA announcing important messages to other employees. Apparently Connor knows him personally or has been working at Wal Mart behind our backs!

Wal Mart Man: "An associate from baby to costumer service please"

Connor: "Yes"

WMM: "An associate from housewares to costumer service please"

Connor: "Yes"

WMM: "Thank you for choosing wal mart and have a nice day"

Connor: "Your Welcome"

Very Long Day

Case and I have had a very long day, although, he slept through most of it. That is a good thing, because it would have been much longer if he hadn't. We are at the hospital...again. This time he was admitted. He was dehydrated and wouln't suck from a bottle, so they kept him. It looks like we are going to get to go home tomorrow. These pictures make him look so peaceful, but it is so sad to me.
