So, I know, it's Wednesday. I've been avoiding my blog I think because I still have so many pictures to post from the big bday party. I'll try to wrap that up tonight, and not bore you too much with too many photos!!!
This past weekend I spent at Heidi's again for a weekend of scrapbooking. Got lots done, had fun and just overall had a great weekend. It's about the only time I get any scrapbooking done! I feel like I'll never get caught up. However. I should probably stop scrapping EVERYTHING Connor does. His first year is going to be probably 3 albums. Crazy.
We also discovered we have a barn swallow nesting on top of our door. We have knocked the nest down FIVE different times and when I got back home tonight she has a new nest up there. TAKE A HINT! I will NOT have bird poop all over my front door/step/rug.
Yesterday also marked the start of softball season. Didn't know I was playing? Me either :) Well, I just found out recently. So, first night wasn't too bad, we won, and I got on base twice.
Alright. Onto uploading photos.
Oh, BIG weekend this weekend...it's Anne's bachelorette party!! Whoo hoo!!
Maybe when Connor turns 10 he'll start looking at the camera for family photos. 
I believe at this time my mom was standing on the deck raising her arms way in the air, then touching her toes. Repeatedly. All to get Connor to smile. Which...he did. And who didn't, you should have seen her.
Proud parents.
We need to teach Bryan how to crouch...not just lean forward :) Or maybe I should have followed what he did. Oh well. There's always next year. 
I just thought this was cute.
oooh....fire....do I get to touch it?
first bite
one of the last bites...
oh no. tired. hand full of cake and frosting. not a good combo.
ha. time for a bath and a nap. 
Not sure what I was saying to him at this moment..but must have been serious.
Yes. That's your new truck.
Okay, eat the truck.
Yeah mega blocks!
Testing out the new lawn mower.
Yes. That's your tummy. (okay, yes, guilty, we asked him where his tummy was)
Grandpa Bode helping him dig into another gift.
The wonderful Grandma's with their favorite grandson :) 
The first dip. 
not. sure.
Is it paint, Mom?
Nope, not paint. Want more.
Hmm, still feels weird.
obsessed with tummy
I took the cake away briefly to cut up the cake part, he had just been scooping off the frosting.
He was surprisingly good at using the fork.
Yeah, Connor!
tummy. still there. still dirty.
and I bet I have 20 other tummy shots from this session
just have to learn a few tricks on how to hold it yet
loving it
time to clean up!
again, the phone. 
I think the frame has potential as a prop...just didn't get him to cooperate. He kept wanting to push it down onto the ground, then have me pick it back up so he could push it down, and, repeat.
and the tummy.
worth editing...especially to get my hand out.
