No title necessary!

Conner getting ready to check the deer camera to see what kind of deer have been walking by Daddy's stand! We hope big ones, so big that he will be done opening day....we shall see.

Conner scouting for deer in B's bean fields. Good thing eagle eye Mimi was with us.

Trying out Daddy's new deer stand...in the front yard. Needless to say, I am glad we live where people think this is normal!

I also had to post this video to show how much Conner has grown. He sure is a busy little bee.

Happy 2nd Birthday Conner!

Conner had a great Birthday and a great Birthday party! It is amazing how much he has changed over the past year; time goes by so fast! Conner on his first Birthday...Conner on his 2nd birthday...

It's County Fair Time; See our pize winning.....

1) Prize Winning....Dresser! yep, Conner loves to dress himself. This is what we get when we let him do it!2) Our Prize Winning... Barefooters. Conner loved watching Jason barefoot so much so that he cried that he wanted to "foot". So, here is his first attempt at 23 months old. Afterwards, Jason said to me, "So do you think people would think the same of us as they did of MJ when he held his kid over the balcony; because we are hanging our kid out of the boat?" My short reply as I uncovered my eyes, "Um, exactly!" Conner needs a permanent No Fear sticker on his forehead! 3) Our Prize Winning...Swimmer! Conner is loving his swim lessons (and his swim "teacher" Bailey who was also a fair queen...BUT he would not sit with her with her crown on!)

Happy 2nd Birthday to Conner on August 4, 2009! Pictures to come. We are gearing up for a farm party with 10 little animals (kids) coming over to play!

4th of July!

Even with the rain, we had a great 4th of July! Friday night we had the kids fire-work show over at Toby and Tiffany's and the kids enjoyed every minute of it! Saturday we stayed in but still had fun!

We are working with the boys to try to get them up on the zip-sled this year! We shall see...

B and Mimi's!

Conner is having so much fun (as always) at B and Mimi's. Since he can talk now, he wakes up talking about the "baby digger" the barns and the bombines (aka...combines). We are going to have his 2nd birthday party be a farm theme, so Mimi has been helping me gather pictures. Conner has been busy combining wheat, crawling through B's corn, picking Mimi's veggies and flowers (sorry Mimi), talking to the cows, and running away to Tarolyns!!! He loves his friends at the office (Miranda's family's business and farm). He has a farm book with tons of different tractors and points and says, "Hi B!" "Hi Mark" "Hi Moe" "Hi Steve" Hi Lance" "Hi Jack" "Hi Reese". Special thanks to all of the guys for making Conner feel at home and teaching him all about farming and for developing his true love for Cheetos!

Also, big kisses up to heaven to Mimi's paw-paw Charles...we will miss him! I think he took Conner for his first tractor (mower) ride (and gave Mimi her first Conner heart-attack). A true symbol of a true patriarch who truly loved our Conner.

This and that

June has been a very busy month...

1) Welcome Saylor!

2) Stone came out to play !
3) Congrats Boo and Courtney!

4) The weather was nice enough for skiing (Conner...not so much yet, just practicing)

5) Conner will start swimming lessons

6) Happy Father's Day, Jason!!!

7) Conner learned how to drive off-road (with his hood up or helmet on; as he says. Yes, he is his father's son!) I don't think I have laughed that hard in years!

RACE Weekend!

We decided to wait another year before Conner attends the Indy 500 Festivities...but we did take him to a race at ORP. He loved the vroom vrooms and waived as they went by. As we knew though, he met a 22 month old little girl and liked watching her and her brothers more than the cars!Conner also went racing on a tube for the first time this year. The water was a little choppy with the holiday weekend, so we will have to try it again soon when the water is a little smoother. However, he is doing much better in his life jacket this year! (we are VERY excited about that!)This weekend, Conner also went racing on the "wheeler" with some of his friends! We all had a blast and Conner talked about it the whole way home!Yes, we had to take breaks from our wheeler ride so that Stone, Conner and Griffen could talk to the baby moos!Conner had so much fun racing the wheelers that he had to go to sleep with one! Sweet wheelin' dreams, Conner Mac!
