Connor's Activities

Connor has been learning and doing so much this month. We've started our at-home pre-school program and he absolutely loves it. He asks every morning for a "project". Here are a couple of the things that he's done. And a couple other things that weren't part of the program, like the good old-fashioned fort, built out of sofa cushions pictured above.

Mischievous Little Bear

I could do several posts on this topic but I think I'll just post the pictures and sum it all up in one.
Bear is starting to climb things, open cabinets and all kinds of other mischievous activities.
Here is the evidence:

Bear's announcement

So I'm not exactly sure where to begin with my catch-up posts so I'm gonna start with the shortest and easiest.

I've been working on getting a bunch of projects completed and here is another! Now, the boys room is finally complete with quilts and wall hangings. Now, I just need to hang them.

Bear has been sleeping almost all day so it'll have to wait another day or two but at least they are both finished and framed. Woot Woot!

Blog neglect

I don't know what has happened to me over the last two months! I've been completely negligent to my blogging responsibilities.  I have a lot of pictures to catch you up on and some really fun events that we've participated in that I can't wait to report on.  However, it will not be happening tonight as I'm completely and utterly exhausted.  Therefore, I am going to bed, before 10pm.  Goodnight all.  I will post tomorrow. I promise.

Bear is EVERYWHERE!

I was debating on whether I should wait until tomorrow to post this as tomorrow he will be 10 months old but I think I'll probably just post tomorrow also.  I've gotten kind of lazy with posting lately so it will be good to catch up a bit.  Here's some pictures of Bear getting into everything. Wow, he needs a haircut!

Sunday Hike 9-27-09

Growing up, I never thought that hiking would be an appropriate Sunday activity. However, we've recently starting taking hikes on Sunday and I've changed my opinion.  

We always go as a family and it's a great way for us to prepare for the upcoming week and also just spend time together having fun.  

In addition, it gets us out of the house.  I feel like on Sunday we have a tendency to stay inside and be bored which isn't exactly what I would call keeping the Sabbath day holy either.

So here are some of our pictures from last week. The foliage was gorgeous! I mean, nothing like New York but beautiful, for Utah:)

Look! It's my own personal pack mule!

By the way, He insisted on carrying both of them.  I tried to take one of them but he wouldn't let me.  I got to carry the Camelback instead.

Me and My Connor-pants. Geez, I love this kid.

United We Send!

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 2009 SendOutCards United We Send Convention  at the Salt Palace.  It was an incredible opportunity and I learned so much from the experience.  We also had a lot of fun!

On a side note, we found this AMAZING German bakery right across the street, THANKS RIVKA!  And holy cow, the pretzels were authentic.  I can say that this will be a regular stop for me while I'm in Salt Lake from now on.  I mean....look at this....It's almost too pretty to eat.
