Connor's 2nd Birthday

For Connor's birthday this year, we wanted to do a smaller party than last year. We decided to do a "friend" party with a few close friends and their kids on Saturday evening and a "family" party with just a few close family members on Sunday. Well, neither party ended up being very small, but we had fun anyways! Connor is one spoiled little boy!! I just can't believe he is 2!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

It's been a long time since I've posted! I guess I didnt' take too many pics on Thanksgiving, here is Connor enjoying some pie and then playing the "drums" with 2 turkey basters. We had a nice Thanksgiving this year at our house with some of Nick's family.

No Costume Halloween...

Here's the costume we got for Connor...he refused to wear it! So...we had to think about regular clothes that would be a "costume" Last second, I threw on his UW basketball warm ups...So I guess he was a UW basketball player for Halloween this year. :)

Trick or Treating

Checking out his candy selection

Mmmmm....


We had a pretty low key Halloween this year. Our friends Jimmy, Riana, and their little guy Brian came over for dinner and we trick or treated in our neighborhood. Even though he wouldn't keep his costume on, he did get into the trick or treating this year and loved passing out candy to the kids who rang our doorbell. I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!!

We went to a new pumpkin patch this year in Bonney Lake called Maris Farms. This place is awesome! Soooo much stuff for kids (and adults) to do! You could spend hours there and stay entertained. I didn't even take pics of half the stuff there. I think we'll go back again next year.

Bday Boat Ride

What a beautiful day!

Chambers Bay Golf Course & Mt. Rainier

For my 30th Bday, my mom and Johnny took us out for a picnic lunch on the boat with Melissa & Brett. It turned out to be a gorgeous day! We ended up heading towards Steilacoom where we stopped to eat lunch. What a fun day!

Run For Hope

Nick & Brett

(5 K runners)

Melissa, Me & Connor

(3 K walkers)

We did the Run for Hope this year to support Pediatric Brain Cancer Research. We joined team Ooo-Um-Gow-Ah and walked for Kyle Roger, a nephew of a friend of Melissa's who bravely faught this terrible disease for 2 years. It was pretty neat to see all the people participating for such a great cause.

Puyallup Fair

Brian & Connor

Connor's favorite part of the fair! He didn't want to leave the pig palace! :)

Checking out piggies

Gotta have some fair food!

We went to the fair this year with our Friends, Jimmy, Riana, and baby Brian. I think Connor had a little more fun this year than last time when he had no idea what was going on. He loved all the animals. Maybe next year he'll be big enough to go on some of the kiddie rides.
