Our weekend started on Thursday and ended on Monday - holiday weekends are seriously the best. Thursday we got lots of visitors - Aunt Jenny was here in the morning and spent the day playing with the birthday-to-be-boy Connor!! Then came uncle Bob and aunt Jennifer - bringing with them some pretty awesome outfits for the boys :)
Our Pig Roast - was a great time - it is always so much fun to get everyone together and enjoy our time together.. It was a beautiful day - warm but, still nice.
(My Best Friends son - being dared to kiss the pig - He sure showed them boys!)
Until out of nowhere -
Yeah, If it were up to me I would say we just experienced a mini tornado - we lost our tent (the top of the tent landed on the roof of the building next to us)the swing set did a complete flip over,it uprooted trees - everything was all over it was quite the mess. Then the sun comes back out and everyone continued to party - Our party went off with a bang - how will we top this next year??
Monday my sweet Connor turned 3 years old. He had an amazing day filled with family, monkey cake, and presents!!
Connor when he realized it was time for his cake!
Since we were all together (minus Johnathan:( ) we tried to get a family photo
I think we did pretty good! I just LOVE my family! Johnathan - we need to do this again when you visit - we missed you lots!!
One final thing before I go,
Letter to our little sweet heart,
THREE – Connor you are three darling years old today. You love cars and choo choo trains. You absolutely adore your family. You are TOTALLY obsessed with doing everything all by YOURSELF – the sky actually falls in if I try and help - SERIOUSLY!! This past year for you has been a rollercoaster and you, sweet little you adjusted just perfectly!! For a few weeks you lost your daddy while he took care of me and your new little brother – you also lost your mommy while I adjusted to our “new” addition to our family but, at the same time you gained a wonderful little brother!! Who I have every hope will be your best friend in the future. Your dad and I wanted nothing more than to give you a sibling – it was just a bonus you got a baby brother. Your perfect world with mommy and daddy was truly turned upside down. I will tell you that only lasted for a quick minute, you absolutely adore your baby and help mommy and daddy out as much as you possibly can – I will admit you hate when he cries but, in time he will outgrow that. We have spent this last year doing just about anything your sweet little heart desires. We take walks, ride our bikes, play ball, board games, cars, trains, and you really love to help Daddy, Papa, Chuck and Uncle Moose at work. We took multiple trips to the zoo this year and you seem to just love it more and more every time. You are just a great kid to spend my time with – you spend as much time as possible with your cousins. You just amaze me every day by how smart you are. You are putting sentences together now – they may be mixed up in order – but you get your point across. You understand that you say “bless you” when someone sneezes’, you say please and thank you, and you know “excuse me” when necessary. I swear your favorite foods include hotdogs & ketchup, pizza with ranch, macaroni & cheese and every type of candy or sweets you can imagine. You are totally obsessed with MILK and APPLE JIUCE and love to try and act like you love mommy and daddy’s mountain dew – complete with a face of “gross”! You love to go shopping, especially when you get to pick out a toy when you behave like the angel you are. So, if there is one final thing I can leave with you – It would be to dream big buddy – DREAM BIG – the world is at your finger tips and you have nothing holding you back!
Now, one thing for the year to come: Let’s get you potty trained – Let’s just kick the diapers out!!
Oh how we LOVE you so,
Mommy & Daddy
