Super Exciting news in our family this week.. You are going to be a big brother!!!! Your daddy and I are super excited for you! You play great with other kids, and one of us always plays with you so, this should be alot of fun! A little worried as to how you will react since you are use to getting 100% of our attention. But it will all be okay.. You will be just fine, you are such a great kid! We have spent alot of time picking up the house ( for our 2nd annual pig roast - this weekend) and our company coming in town!!!!! Aunt Jen, Uncle Bob and Johnathan from Florida are flying in friday!!! Can't wait :) And your other Aunt Jen and Uncle Tom are driving in from New Jersey on friday night :) Mommy has family from Hawaii, Chicago, New York, coming in as well.. How exciting this weekend will be for all of us!!!Your daddy and I are counting down the days until our little boy turns 2.. I can't believe time as went so fast!
One last thing I need to tell you... You are totally going through a Shrek phase! I think we have watched this movie 3 or 4 times a day for the past couple of days.. Your lucky its a cute movie.. But I think its time to buy the second and third Shrek...

Dunking Booth

Connor, We had a pretty normal week with a super busy weekend.. Grandma and Uncle Steve's cousins were in town visiting from California and Virgina, so Uncle Steve and Aunt Gretchen had a little get together for everyone to visit.. Well as you know by now Uncle Steve rocks and usually has something fun up his sleeve.. Well he really surpised all of us when he rented a dunking booth!!! It was very fun! Kelsey was the first to hit the target and knock Uncle Steve in, Daddy, Dennis and Don got the hang of it not long after!! Even GG got her turn! You and Henry had a great time tossing the balls even though you couldnt get the target they let you push and kick it in!
Then Sunday, we went up to help Henry celebrate his 4th birthday! You love playing with him and baby Greta.. Henry even let you help him open his presents, I think it was practice for you in about 2 weeks!

Daddy's new ride...

This week has been one daddy will remember for a long time!! He has always wanted a Mustang but, just very picky on what he wanted.. Well he found it:) Took a few long trips to a suburb of Detroit about an hour and 45 minutes from here!! But we got it:) It is a 2008 Black Gt Mustang!! It is all leather and in just great condition.. You have already took a few ride and you must like it because you even took a nap.. Everyone seems to be liking the car as well, daddy takes every chance you give people rides.. I think so far this week he has took GG (which will be our picture this week) Grandma Duris, Grandpa Urbanski, Sara, and uncle Tom's roommate...Not too much else going on last week.. We did spend Saturday and Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa's.. Uncle Tom was is town and brought his roommate with him, We played in the pond, your pool, and tailgate toss!!!!We also had a play date with Sara and Jace on Monday.. You boys just love playing and riding your motorcycle Uncle Tom and Aunt Lauren got you for Christmas...Alot going on this weekend!! Schneider Party on Saturday and Henry's Birthday Party on Sunday.. Should be a fun filled weekend for us!!!

Boat Trip...

Although you have been on Grandpa & Grandma's boat a lot since you were born, I can't say you have ever actually went for a boat ride... So this week, Grandpa took you, me and Daddy all on a great boat ride! Grandma was out of town with GGG so, us 3 went out to the boat with Grandpa! We grilled dinner, took a walk to look at all the boats and then we took a great ride! You loved it:) The next day you told us you wanted to go to the boat again!!!
On a side note: You have known how to say yes and no for awhile now, but when we asked you things it was just a chance that you would say the correct answer.. I will admit you have definatly mastered the words YES and NO! You say them soo cute it just makes us laugh, but you really know what you are saying and what they both mean!! Well in less than a month you will be 2... Plans are being finialized and invites sent out! Im super excited, I know you will have a blast!!

UpNorth Weekend...

Connor - Today is already the 2nd of August! You know what that means, in just about 1 month you will already be 2 years old!! Hard to believe time as gone this fast! This past week we have done a lot of organizing and cleaning around our house. We also took our annual canoe trip up north to west branch michigan(which is about 2 1/2 hours away from our house). It started as a family trip probably over 10 years ago. (Us cousins, Dennis, Michelle, Andy your uncle Tom and I would always take a picture of us on the stairs to see how much we change every year.) Well last year we started this up again only with you and Henry.. Well this year baby Greta is here... Let me tell you it is very hard to get a great picture of Henry (almost 4) you (almost 2) and Greta ( 9 month) But with all you happy babies, Aunt Gretchen, GG, Grandma Duris & myself.. Think we got a few good shots!!! So, that is how I picked my picture for this week.. I will also tell you that I had the best time this weekend watching you play with Henry and Greta some too.. You guys had the time of your life.. We ate some super yummy food, and saw alot of cool things...
