Connor thinks Ray is the coolest kid every. Seriously, everything Ray does, Connor has to do. We went up to Shoreline for Bobby & Lisa's babyshower/BBQ. The kids had a blast in their giant backyard. The hit of the party was a bunch of big furniture boxes the kids made forts in. 
Skate Night for Lise was a huge success and raised over $1800 for the Ray & Mac Scholarship Fund. Connor wasn't a fan of the skates, but aren't they cute? So small! I sold bracelets during the skating time...didn't think it was the best idea to skate 7 months pregnant.
For the NW Etch Company picnic this year, they rented a party deck at the new Cheney Statium for a Rainier's Game. Connor had a lot of fun playing his own baseball game up on the deck with the other kids from the company. His favorite part of the day was running the bases with daddy after the game (they went around twice)

Doug & Tammy had us down for the weekend this summer to hang out and play in the sun. My dad and Susan came down for the day and we were able to celebrate his 71st bday a little late with a cake and BBQ. 
Connor and his red face with broken blood vessels after his tramatic visit
Waiting room
We took Connor to his first dentist visit over the summer at a pediatric dentist in the area. The waiting room was really cool (tons of games, puzzles, books, merry go round, etc) He was having a blast until he set foot in the actual patient room...and that's when the screaming began. The next 4 minutes were quite tramatizing...they counted his teeth, quickly brushed them, and said he had no cavities and his teeth looked good. It took 4 of us to hold him down. Nick held his legs, I held his arms, the dental assistant held his chest, and the dentist had him in a head lock. The screaming finally ended when he got to use a magic coin they gave him (for doing a good job??) to pick a prize before he left. He picked a little ninja. Can't wait to go back...
Down at Pioneer Park in the summer, they do concerts in the park for families and kids. A few of us went down one day to check out the disney concert. It turned out to be more geared towards girls...princess stuff...so Ray Ray and Connor decided to do some hard core break dancing in the middle of the concert. It was too cute, Connor was copying every move Ray made.
