Croquet

We had our friends Kent and Rachel over for a BBQ a few weeks ago. We wanted to play croquet but Connor wanted our full attention and refused to just watch. I decided to try to play with him in the baby carrier...and guess who came in first place?? Yep, I guess croquet is my long lost talent. :)

6th Grade Camp + Business Trip = Auntie M babysits

From May 19th-21st, I had to go to 6th Grade Camp and Nick was in California for business, so my sister said she would take care of Connor for us! They had a great time! Thanks Auntie M for doing this for us!!! When she was here I think she took about 500,000 pictures of the little guy. Here are a few of my favorites!

Mother's Day

Connor's 1st Mother's Day

My present!

Nick & Connor's "gift wrap"

I had a great first Mother's Day as a mom! It started on Saturday when I spent the day in South Center with my mom and sister. We shopped and ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory! It was a fun day!

When Nick asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day I told him the only thing I wanted was a good solid night sleep. So this morning Nick got up with Connor and let me sleep in! It felt AMAZING!! You forget how nice it is to sleep once you have kids!! When I (finally) came downstairs today, Nick had put my present out for me to find. He bought me a set of three wooden vases that I have been wanting to go up on our ledge thing in our entry way. After we got ready for the day, we had brunch with Nick's mom, Travis, Amy, and the kids and then spent the rest of the day hanging out together as a little family at home. I'm liking this Mother's Day stuff!!

We tried feeding Connor carrots today and he LOVED them! He kept licking the spoon and would cry if we would take it away. Messy baby.

Connor is continuing to grow by the second. At his 4 month appointment he was in the 75% for height and weight and 95% for head size! :) He was such a tiny little newborn that it's funny to see his cute little rolls he has now. We are loving it!

Baby Mac!

Lise and Ryan had their 2nd baby a few weeks ago! They named him Mac after her maiden name Macadangdang. We are so excited the boys will only be four months apart and will hopefully be good buddies as they grow up together!

Happy Easter!

For Easter this year we started out early on Saturday with a neighborhood egg hunt followed by a dinner at Melissa's in Bellevue. On Sunday we will be spending time with Nick's mom's side of the family. Here's a pic of Connor in his cute little easter outfit!
