A Big Congrats to Grandpa!!!

Over the weekend we headed to Mesa to Clay's graduation! He graduated on Saturday at Chase field from Grand Canyon University with his Bachelors Degree! We are all very proud of him and the hard work and dedication that he has put into completing it! GOOD JOB GRANDPA!!!!

April update!

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to. We had a good Easter, Conner loved coloring the eggs and cracking as many as he could even on his head! Aaden how ever had it all figured out and kept telling Conner not to do that! We got to spend Easter with both families. Clay also celebrated his birthday and had an unforgettable cake:) (sorry no pictures) We took Conner to the park to feed the ducks and just enjoy the warmer weather. Conner thought they were pretty cool and loved how they came to him when her threw the bread. Devin and I decided to give Conner his birthday present several months early since the weather has been so nice...plus Dev wanted it out of his garage! So we set up the tramp and Conner tells me every day MOM JUMP MOM JUMP as he is tugging on the back door! Devin helped out with a school bus safely Assembly, he was Baxter the raccoon. He had fun dancing around on his tail and head and just being funny with all the kids, Conner to thought it was pretty net. We went and watched three different assemblies!

Spring Break

This year for spring break we didn't do much! Due to all the problems the boarders are having we choose not to go to Mexico. I was bumbed! So we took a few days and went to Roosevelt looking for warmer weather. While we were there we played a ton of card, drank way to much jones soda, road 4 wheeler, skipped rocks in the creek and went down to the lake. It was still cold and a little windy so we never made it out on the lake. Conner was watching Devin skip rocks and tried to do it too, poor little guy fell in and soaked the front of himself! After a change of clothes and a sweater he was all smiles again!

MR. WOOD

So Devin has decided that he thinks it would be fun to be a teacher! This boy has so much ambition. He is always starting or learning something new! I am so thankful that most of his little hobbies and ideas make money! Devin has starting teaching CPR and really enjoys it most of the time! He loves all the people that he gets to meet and the things that he learns from them. Especially the elderly people he thinks there the greatest! He always comes home and tells me all the stories and things they have told him. Here are some pictures from one of his classes

Stitch Him UP!

Oh Conner! Boys are such a mess! The other night about 9 pm I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed. Devin was on Skype talking to his grandparents who are on a mission. Conner of course was bouncing back and forth between what I was doing and what daddy was doing. All of a sudden I hear a ear piercing scream. I finishing brushing my teeth and think to myself... what did he get into now! As I came out of my bedroom I am greeted by blood all over the hall way tile. Needless to say Conner needed stitches! He had fallen from one chair into the leg of another chair and cut is little forehead open. Thank Heaven for great Doctors! Dr. Brady stitched him up in his living room that night. Conner screamed through the whole thing but once we let him up he was fine. He was more concerned about the band aid and strings that he now had on his face! The hardest part was trying to keep him from picking at them!

A quick trip

For Valentines this year Devin suprised me with an early quick trip to Utah. He got me out of Sharing time and working for my mom! Which was nice! (Thanks Sandi! I owe you:)) We stayed with Amber and Glenn and they watched Conner while we went to Salt Lake. We did a session in the Salt Lake Temple, which is beautiful! Then ate lunch at the JS Building. My lunch was so good, Devin's not so much! But the coconut shrimp was amazing! We also took Conner to the Draper Temple open house! All these Temples are so big compared to the Snowflake! Amber and Glenn both got sick so we left early and stayed in Moab, which turned out to be a good thing since we hit storms most of the way home. Thanks Amber and Glenn we sure hope you guys are filling better! And Thanks Devin for planning this last minute get away! for what ever reason this is the only picture I have of the whole weekend! Yes is was COLD!!!!

Its all About Conner

Conner is always into or up to something! He is growing and learning so fast! Some days it's hard to find the energy just to stay up with him. One of his favorite things to do is get up on any counter and dance! They told Devin last week in nursery that they have to hide anything he can climb on, because he always ends up on the counters! Oh man what are we going to do with him? This is pictures of Devin bandaging him up after he crawled up on my make up vanity and burned his leg on the straightener!

Trust me it didn't slow him down a bit;-)

A few weeks ago when we were in Utah Amber gave us all a hair cut! She did such a good job with Conner, I can't believe that he sat so still for her. I guess The Cars Movie will fix anything. Thanks Amber!

So content!

Last but not least here are two pictures of Conner in Utah! 8 hours is a long drive for an 19 month old but books, candy and movies sure help pass the time!

Its about time!

OK time for another LONG over due update! Here are picture of Christmas and everything in between. This self portrait of Devin is him leaving to the Rose Bowl game(I think that's what game it was?) he wouldn't take the camera so this is the only picture I have! Hope all is well with everyone, I sure have been enjoying your updates!

I had a great idea to go snow tubing one Saturday. Sheridan and her kids came, Kenz and Dakota, Rayna, Aaron and their kids, Devin, Conner and I. The day started out late but we finally got on our way. We were not really sure were Sky High Retreat was. So Devin turned down this other road and the truck got so stuck. We spent half the day getting it unstuck. Finally we left and took the kids sledding and left Devin waiting for his dad to come and pull us out! All Devin could say is, "it sucks getting pulled out by a ford!" At least his dad got a kick out of it! All in all it was an adventure! Thanks everybody for coming we need to plan another one!

Um I don't think this is going to work!?! At least he's still smiling:)

This is Devin looking for some way to get us unstuck!

For New Years we hung out with the Owen's and Tenney's. The girls all enjoyed playing games while the boys watched tv and talked! HAPPY NEW YEAR

Tenney Family, Chandler stayed awake till midnight!

A NEW YEARS KISS

Christmas this year found us all happy and well. We hope everyone else had a great Christmas too. It was so fun on Christmas morning when Conner woke up. I had the video camera trying to stay in front of him but he just barrelled to the front room. Once he say the tree and his presents he just stopped and stared and finally said wooooo! It was the best Christmas yet!
