Happy 14th Birthday Connor!


I can't believe it...my little...no correction....big guy today is 14 and is finishing his last day of middle school. Ugh...I have a high schooler now!!

It's so hard to realize that he is now a big dude...a guy. No more boy. I still wish for the boy. I can hardly find a moment to snap his picture when I can see his face, get a smile or that attitude. I see less of him...his room sees more of him. I can't just pick out clothes and say here...I can't kiss him in front of people...but I still think he's fantastic!!



Happy 14th Birthday Connor! We love you lots,

Mom & Dad

Soccer, Awards and Thank You's!!!

Let me just say that it's so hard to keep my blog up since I started blogging for Bo Bunny. At times I'll stop and think I've blogged only to realize that it's for the BB blog..and not mine. I'll try to update more...even if it's just a quick post!

First bit of news...I have a soccer player in the house!





And yes...it's Connor! I'm so happy...we're so happy and he is! It's been at least 5 years since he's played. And according to the other parents who watched him...he should never have stopped. He was just too hard on himself. Feeling like he was no good if he didn't get a goal and then some. But wow..he's really good! He's fun to watch and he's happy. Now if he could get a goal this season..that would be amazing!


We've enjoyed watching his first two games and have been amazed how well he's played given he's been out of the game for such a period of time. I will say...it's fun to watch the older guys play!

I owe a big thank you too! The sweetest gal...Teri Anderson offered up an adorable pair of Cherry earrings she had made. (thanks to Melissa Phillips for passing this along) I was the lucky girl whose names she picked to receive them! They are so cute and I of course have promised to share them with Haley! How can I not share them! She of course wanted me to make her some more earrings after learning they were handmade. Here's a picture of the adorable earrings..this photo is from Teri's blog.




Thanks you so much Teri...we love them!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also owe another thanks to my sweet friend, Carole Janson! (do visit her blog to see her beautiful work!)

I'm Officially a Mom to a Teenager!

I still can't believe it but today Connor is 13!



My first born cutie has officially become a teenager. I'm not sure I am really ready to accept that he is no longer my little guy..that he's closer to becoming a young man now than I realized. Gone are the days of playing with his trains, trains and more trains. Now he's onto designing digital cartoon animations, playing with his new Xbox 360 and hanging out with his friends.


It wouldn't be a birthday though if I didn't take a small trip down memory lane. Given this is such a big birthday..I decided to go back to the days when he was little..I miss that! Here's my sweetie! (to see larger..click on the pics and use your back arrow to return to the blog)




How cute is this kid!!?

Celebrating his 1st Birthday!


I had this costume made for him by my High School Home Ec teacher. All three kids wore it! He of course was so cute!

Pictures from Connor's 4th and Haley's 2nd party.



Connor's 5th birthday..
Little baseball player!

and now...last day of school on Friday..

this weekend at a carnival..

and last night getting his presents..


He's an amazing kid! So smart and talented! Loves the color orange, very artistic, developing his own style, almost ready to use a razor(OMG!), likes girls..and girls with long hair that are smart..according to him, gets along great with Haley, still doesn't care for his little brother, can be very helpful when asked..and is just a great kid!

Happy 13th Birthday Connor!

Love,

Mom
