The Great Outdoors...

Conner has been having a blast this summer. He really enjoys being outside, swimming and picking up sticks! He tries to go fishing with Jason, but gets bored after a few casts...One day though, I know he will be like the rest of the guys and fish for hours...

Conner has also been enjoying the farm when he is at Miranda's. Unfortunately for Miranda, and her garden, Conner also likes to pull up the vegetables. The Butler's had two baby cows that they were bottle feeding. As you can see, Conner was jealous that their bottle was so much bigger than his.

He was unsure of the cows at first, but did not want to leave when it was time to go!

11th Months Old!

Conner turned 11months old on the 4th of July! We had such a great holiday! Jason and I took the week after the 4th off, so it has been wonderful to spend time together and with our families. On the 4th, Conner got to play with Brody, Beckett, Griffen, Harrison and Madelyn! He had such a great time! Getting ready for our "wal-mart spectacular" with Brody, Harrison and Beckett

How many kids can fit into the pool? (needless to say, this is the second one we have purchased this summer!)

Conner with his cousins, Harrison and Madelyn! Conner also started walking on July 3rd! It was so funny to see him just stand up and walk off. Over the past week, he has become very brave and is walking about the same amount as he is crawling. Here is cousin Jeremiah giving him some pointers...

We also learned that Conner needs to practice sharing...as you can see below does not know what the word means...And to close the 4th of July holiday, Conner rode into the sunset with Gruncle Bill...

Another great thing about our vacation is that Conner met some of his cousins from Ireland for the first time! Ronan, Maura, Laura, Daniel and Stephen spent the week at Mom and Dad's. We were lucky because they came down to the lake twice and we got to go to the zoo with them. It was so nice to see them as Jason and I have not seen them since August of 2005. We had a wonderful time!
