Connor's 4th Birthday

We had a lot of fun for Connor's birthday. We celebrated Connor's 4th Birthday for 3 days. Lucky kid. The first day we took him to see thomas the train. Which he loved. Although I think it is a lot of money for a short train ride. Oh well. Connor thought it was the best thing ever. Then the night before Connor's birthday we had a party for my side of the family and a couple of friends. Then Connor's actual birthday was Memorial Day so we celebrated with Brady's side of the family because they always do a BBQ for Memorial Day. So Connor was a little bit spoiled this year. Here are a couple of pictures from his fun weekend.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas!! Sorry we didn't send out Christmas cards this year. So here is my blog Christmas card, I saw some other people doing this so I guess it is okay.

This year has been a challenging year for our family, but we have stuck together and made it through. We hope that our next year will be better and full of learning, love and growth.

I wanted to share the quote on the back of the Ensign this month, President Henry B. Eyring wrote the following. "What all of us long for in our hearts, at Christmas time and always, is to feel bound together in love with the sweet assurance that it can last forever. This is the promise of eternal life, which God has called His greatest gift to His children. That is made possible by the gifts to us of His Beloved Son: the Savior's birth, Atonement, and Resurrection."

Rebecca's Wedding

A few pictures of the wedding day..Connor and Burt held the rings. They are so cute!

This whole month has just flown bye...mostly because it was all a wedding month. Rebecca and Jon got married on 9/9/2009 and it was a beautiful ceremony up in the mountains in Aspen. This place fit Jon and Rebecca, since they love the outdoors. The place is called the Maroon Bells, you should google it. The place was Amazing...wow. I have no more words for it. I'm glad they are married now and happy. They had 3 receptions..one in Aspen, Ogden and Spokane. I made them a wedding cake for the Aspen and Ogden open house. Both cakes turned out beautifully.

I tried to put the pictures in order but apparently I can't get this blog to work the way I want it to. I guess you can just figure out the real order of the pictures. Sorry.

My sister is getting married!!

I have great news..my sister is finally engaged!! I'm so excited for her! She has been dating the same guy for the last 3 years so it's about time...lol

They are having an open house on the 5th of September here in Utah. So if you would like an invitation to that please let me know. They will be getting married in Aspen, Colorado on the 9th of September. So it is coming up really quick!! So that is my wonderful news! Have a great day! (Hopefully, I'll be able to add more later like some pictures, my camera is not allowing me to put pictures on my computer and I don't know why.)

This song is Amazing! I found it on Miquelle's blog and I had to put it on mine! Thanks Miquelle for sharing! Make sure you listen to this song especially if you've never heard it before. It's awesome!!

Easter Sunday

We celebrated Easter Sunday with Brady's parents and his mom's side of the family. Also, we celebrated my sister-in-law Katie's Birthday. So we had lots of food and dessert! Here are a couple of cute pictures from the day.

Connor and his cousin Hannah love their Great Grandma Green

Katie blowing out her birthday candle..she turned 26 years old

We took a walk up to the water fall with a couple of the kids. This is my nephew Alex, he thought it was awesome that he climbed down next to the waterfall.

These cute girls are my niece's Sarah and Shayla

Connor is looking over the bridge at the water. I almost had a cute smile out of him!

Brady was jumping on the trampoline with Connor and he loved it!

Here are all of Connor's cousins

So in the end Easter turned out to be a nice day!

I want to just remind everyone including myself that Easter is not a day of the Easter bunny.

It is a day that we celebrate Jesus Christ and how he was resurrected on our behalf.

Easter Egg Hunt

2

Every year Grandma Green has an Easter egg hunt for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She fills up plastic eggs with change, candy and sometimes you can get the golden egg. This year Connor picked up the golden egg and it had $20 dollars in it! I was so excited! Anyhow, Connor loved gathering the eggs and he loved all the candy. He is so cute! Every time I'd take Connor's picture he either wasn't paying much attention or he'd give me a big "C..H..E..E..S..E. " Along with a cheesy grin!! It is pretty funny!

Here is a cute video of Connor collecting eggs. He was really excited and was having a lot of fun!

Okay, so I guess some people out there have been too busy to come and see our new home that we've been in for a year now. I've been asked to post some pictures of our house. The top picture is our new home that was built in September 2007 and we got it brand new!! The bottom picture is our old house that we lived in for 3 1/2 years. We went from having 1,439 sq feet to having 2,300 sq feet. That has been a huge difference! Now that you've seen the outside of my house I hope you decide to come and say hi sometime to see the inside!

Just a funny story...you decide if it's true or not

Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart, for my dogs Bubba and Annie.

I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think, that I had an elephant?

Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!

WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore.

Leave a comment and let me know what you thought!

Christmas has Come and Gone!

Here's our family Christmas picture! We hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

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!
