The End

So Bill always makes these faces that crack me up..and let me tell you it worked on Connor too! It was really funny! I wish I had it on video. Oh well!




On our way home, our trip was fun but the flight home was not! Connor was so tired he cried the whole way then he fell asleep as we were about ready to land. Let me tell you, it is not easy to fly with your child alone. I had to try and carry him and our stuff off the plane. Lucky for me two nice men asked if they could help me and took my bags for me. Thank goodness for nice people out there. Then Connor woke up as soon as I put him in his stroller and we had to wait for brady to pick us up 3 hours later. He was in Northern Utah doing a job and it took him forever to come and get us. So that is the end of our trip to Spokane.

Family Picture..My moms side

Here's a group picture of my family
Also a picture of my grandpa with Rebecca and I. My grandparents have been married for 50 years in November! So Congratulations to them! They are the sweetest grandparents and I love them a great deal!



Rebecca and I got our hair cut when we were up there so here is a picture of us with the new look. Don't we look Hot!!

Fair

We went to the fair and rode the rides mostly the kid ones with Connor! It was still fun! Rebecca came up for a couple of the days I was there so she went to the fair with us too. We also saw the animals and Connor pointed at all of them and just kept saying"look." It was really cute! He loved the horses the most and points at any horse we see now. So that was the fair..yummy food..rides..booths and animals. Oh and we also saw the hypnotist who several years ago at the fair hypnotised me. I have a video it's pretty funny! However, I'm not posting that on here. Too bad for you!

Worn Out

Connor's so worn out from playing with family that he is actually taking naps! He feel asleep in Great Grandpa Hidy's arms, and Grandma Colleen got to hold him too!

Connor's Trip to Spokane

Well, Since I'm already behind I've decided to start were I left off. Here is a couple of cute pictures from our trip. Grandpa Bill wheeled Connor around in a wheel barrow and Connor didn't want to get out. So Bill brought out the big dump truck and they started playing with those. Connor loves his Grandpa's.
Below is a picture of my mom with her dog Tasha!

Who looks Like Who???

So I saw this on a Friends website and thought I'd try it. It's kind of funny how different people think connor looks like Brady or I. So here is the proof that he looks like both of us evenly and not just like Brady.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything. I'm not so great at this blogging world..that would also mean my journal hasn't been updated in like 6 years because I'm just not the best at this. So I apologize if you read my blog and have been wondering why I haven't posted anything in a long time. So I have been busy my life is crazy sometimes and I'm starting a new business. On top of my wonderful Candle business I've decided to start Close to My Heart. I was introduced to these stamps and I just can't stop buying them. They are seriously the best stamps I've ever used. So I decided to make money at that as well so I will get a discount. I figure that I should make money at the things I love to do. So if any of you love to make cards or do scrapbooking or love to decorate or love candles or love spa product...I am your woman so feel free to contact me and I will hook you up with some awesome product!! Also, Christmas is right around the corner and there are a lot of cool half off items so check out my website so I can help you get your shopping done at a good price or Free!! www.partylite.biz/emilygreen

Connor's First Plane Ride

In September, Connor and I flew to Spokane to visit my mom and step dad. The ride up there wasn't too bad. Connor was so curious about everything. As soon as I pulled the tray down for the snack, he wouldn't leave it alone. I thought for sure the guy sitting in front of him was going to get mad, but he never said a word. It was pretty funny how as soon as the guy in front of us pulled the window shade down connor thought his had to be down and wouldn't let me open it the whole plane ride. The funniest part was when the plane had landed and I went to get our bags and was waiting to exit the plane. Connor hands me this round object and I just sat there like where on earth did this come from. Then this lady started laughing that was standing next to me and said that he unscrewed it from the roof. Yep it was the light that you use to read. I had no idea those unscrewed and for connor to figure it out in 2 seconds. Crazy! Okay so that was pretty entertaining! This picture below connor was listening to music! It didn't last too long... The picture above is looking at the plane before we boarded. Connor was excited!

Cute Connor

My mom and stepdad came for a visit from WA and we were folding up the air bed when Connor wanted to help deflate it . He was jumping on it and then we had him sit in it to go for a ride. He thought this was so much fun!! I wish someone would carry me around! hahaha
I just love his smile in this pic so I had to post it.

Yummy Spatula!

It's Saturday night...yep not much going on. Isn't that the pits! I really want to go do something but Brady isn't feeling well! His chest is bothering him and he doesn't know what he did. I think he may have broken a rib because he complains every time he moves. Hopefully what ever is hurting will heal soon because I'm getting tired of doing nothing. So here I am posting a blog for the heck of it. I do have a really cute picture of Connor I took. The other night I was making a dessert for relief society and I gave him the spatula. He hasn't ever licked one before and as soon as he did he wouldn't stop. It was really cute!

A Milestone for Me

Well, for a lot of people that know me. I am not one to hold babies, I have a really hard time with them. I'm not sure why but maybe one day I'll figure it out. Anyhow, My sister Rebecca and I went to see our friend Karlia who had a baby last week. I actually held her baby Alexia Ruth Lopez, she is really cute and really tiny. I couldn't get over how small and fragile she is. For those that know when I had Connor he was 10 Lbs and 1 oz. So.. I guess to me this was really weird holding a 7 Lb baby. Alright, you can stop laughing at me I know you probably had a 7 Lb baby and you thought they were big! Well, I just wanted to share the pictures because I look cute..alright Alexia does too.

As I sat there holding this baby, I was thinking how amazing it is to bring gifts from God into this world. The fragile little spirits who will look up to you in ever way. Congrats Karlia! You will be a great mom!

Connor's Birthday May 31st

Connor turned 2 years old!! I can't believe how much he has grown and how smart he is. Well, anyhow I made his birthday cake this year as Lightening McQueen. It turned out really well! I was truly nervous that I would still be working on this cake when his party started. Somehow, I managed to finish it 30 minutes before everyone arrived.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any pictures of Connor smiling which is really odd because he always gives me cheesy grins. He liked his new swimsuit and held it up for me to see.

The red wagon I think was his favorite he helped put it together and then he went for a ride in it. Well, it turned out to be a good party and Connor was so spoiled!

Sad News

Sad news, after 30 years of working as a photographer and struggling to make ends meat my dad is moving out of his studio. He has finally decided that he just isn't making the money he needs to support himself or his new family. I'm sad for him but excited for the opportunity he will have of trying new things. He still will do on location only photos. For those of you out there that would like a really good photographer that has been doing pictures for over 30 years. Please consider my dad. He is a pro at this! Let me know and I'll give you his information to get a hold of him.

Connor Loves Dogs

Last Thursday I bought a whole bunch of flowers and decided to plant them. While I was busy planting away connor was playing with our dog sadie. My next door neighbor left her house and I waved at her. Not even 5 minutes had passed and connor runs to her door with sadie. Well, I assumed that he was just ringing the door bell and that was fine because I knew nobody was home for him to bother. A couple of minutes passed and I started calling out his name, I got no answer so I called for sadie...no answer. So I walk over to my neighbors door, which was shut and I knocked. All I got was dogs barking at me. So I tried the door and it opened, I yelled hello to make sure no one was there. I got greeted by the neighbor's 2 dogs and sadie. I tried to get passed them all to see if connor was in there and sure enough he is seating on their couch grining ear to ear. He thought he was so funny!! Connor will do anything to play with dogs! I finally got him and sadie outside without the other dogs following. It was quite the chore!
