Christmas is getting close!

OK so it has been a while since I posted again!! SO here are some things we have been up to lately. Our darling little Conner hates, I means HATES his crib, he started climbing out of it when he was about 11 months old! So we though that we would just turn it into the toddler bed so that he would not hurt himself! He does do much better now that he can come and go as he pleases, Its so funny/annoying in the middle of the night if he wakes up all you hear is crying and little feet running on the tile! I know that one of these days we will miss this stage, but that day is not here yet!!!

THANKSGIVING 2008



This year for Thanksgiving we spent it with my mom's family in Mesa. It was fun seeing family that we don't see very often. We have so much to be thankful, we are healthy and we are together and not a whole lot else matter. Thanks to the Robinson Family for letting us stay with them in the BEAUTIFUL home.

PUTTING UP THE TREE


I was so excited this year to put up the tree and have Conner help! Lets just say it was a headache ha ha, my perfect little tree is only decorated from the middle up. Seems that some one in our family can't keep their little fingers off all the GLASS balls. Oh Conner is always into something!

NEXT ON THE HOLIDAY LIST... SANTA!


We decided to take Conner to Woodland lake park to see Santa. It was a LONG COLD line but Conner was pretty Patience, He was so entertained by all the people, the singing and the lady with the darn DOG! But after waiting in line for almost 2 hours he was tired and not in the mood for Santa. He did sit on his lap but that was about it! Oh well at least he didn't cry:)

AND THEN THERE IS NURSERY!!! YEAH


All I have to say is that 18months is way to long for nursery! Conner started walking about 9-10 months and has been on the go every since, so for the last 8 months Conner and I just cruse the halls. He did so good for is 1st nursery and colored his little paper... so cute! The best part about the hole nursery thing is when I went to get him he gave me a HUGE hug. For as hipper as he is, he is still just the sweetest,cuddliest kid.

LIVE BURN TRAINING!


This week LSFD did another live burn. These are so fun to go and watch. I as a little late getting there so I didn't get hardly any pictures. Devin got to pump the truck so we got to stay with him most of the time.

A few weeks ago we took Conner to the Phoenix Zoo. Conners favorite animals where the pigeons in the parking lot, the Parrots(I'm guessing cause they are loud) and the goats at the petting zoo. Devin chased the pigeon with Conner in the stroller and the birds just stayed a little in front, Conner thought it was the funnest thing he has ever seen. The weather was perfect and Conner was really good. He fell asleep before we saw the Lions and the Zebras but over all we all had a good time.

A Quick Update

hAlLoWeEn! 2008

We Had such a busy Oct, we didn't carve our pumpkins till Halloween day, but it worked out perfect cause the weather was so beautiful. Conner really didn't like cleaning the pumpkin out he preferred taking all the little knives and carving stuff and scattering it around the yard. Afterwards we went to Taylor and saw all the grandparents, then Conner and his cousins went to a trunk or treat, then we had a party at LSFD, Conner loved the bean bag game. When ever the older kids would throw them through the whole he would hurry and get them so he could throw them too! He came home with a tone of candy and 10 gold fish for the pond.

Conner and I also go to fly to Utah and see Amber, Glenn and Tyce! It was a really fast short trip but I am so glad that we got to go. We had a blast and can't wait till we can do it again! Amber has the cutest house and lives by an amazing craft store, its kinda like poppies but way more affordable! I was a little nervous when I pulled up to Taylor Airport and saw the plan we would be flying in... Needless to say Jarod was an amazing pilot and got us home safely, Thanks Amber for having us

And Last but not least Devin and I took a day and just spent it together, Devin has never been to the Grand Canyon so we took a drive to see it! It was alot of fun just spending the day together and we really needed it! Afterwards we went back into Flag and ate and did some shopping. A BIG thanks to my wonderful sister in laws, Brette, Shay and Mckenzi and my mother in law for taking such good care of Conner, spoiling him rotten and giving him his 1st Happy Meal. You guys are awesome!

Good bye Wisdom Teeth

On Thursday I went and had my wisdom teeth removed, The whole thing wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The shots where the worst and the goofy gas was amazing haha. Devin went with me and stayed in the room the whole time. As they were working on my teeth I could hear them talking and I knew what was going on but I just couldn't get my body to corporate with my mind. I can't remember what they said but I remember starting to laugh and I just couldn't stop and then I started snorting uncontrollable. In my mind I was telling my self to stop, but I just couldn't. Needless to say the dentist turned down the goofy gas! HAHA Devin got a huge kick out of the whole thing! My face is really swollen and my wonderful brother in law Aaron thinks I look like John McCain, gotta love honesty! But the upside to all this is all the milk shakes and being waited on hand and foot. Thanks Devin for always humoring me, your the best!

The Great Out Doors

Over the weekend we went up to greens peak to camp. I love this time of year when all the leaves change colors! We enjoyed all the normal camp stuff. Cobbler, great food, four wheeler rides, camp smoke, shooting guns, good visits, card games(yes I married into a family that cheats at cards more than I do:-)) and my new favorite thing, squirrel hunting( who knew that it could be so fun!) and lots of relaxing! Devin and I missed place the keys to our camper and spent a few hours looking for them and a drive back up to the top of greens peak to make sure they didn't get kicked out! After all the searching we found them on the hook in the trailer where they belonged!!! Conner's little coat was hiding them haha gotta love that! Then we had a blow out on our trailer on the way home. But the boys had it fixed in no time. Thanks every body for the fun!

The leaves starting to turn red! This picture is for Grandma and Grandpa West

Shooting Clay's AR something, he thinks everyone needs one for home land security


My beautiful sister in laws

Conner already has such a mind of his own

On Top of Greens Peak

Kids are never to old to get a good punch to the face by their father

This is Conner's favorite thing

We love shooting together

Fixing the Tire on the side of the road Devin has it figured out, he's letting his dad do all the work while he supervises!

One more thing, I know this post is getting so long but hey when you only post once a month... Conner had his first ER visit a couple of Sundays ago. I was out in the yard feeding the fish and all of a sudden he starts crying. When I got over to him blood was coming out of his toe and he had a huge blood blister on the bottom of his toe. Devin was already over in the ER so I drove the 1000 feet to the hospital to let Dev look at it. Needless to say him and all the nursers thought he needed to be checked out. I was think "I am not taking Conner to the ER for a blood blister" so I started to leave and Devin was standing at the the glass doors with disgusted look on his face, so I thought well I'll just call Conner's pediatrician. Needless to say the Doc thought I should take him in for xrays and stuff. So I unbuckled Conner and took him in. Devin was really getting upset with me at this point I believe he said something like this, "oh you'll bring him in when the Doc tells you to but you wont when I do" haha anyways Conner had xrays and they decided that he may have a fracture on his toe but it was to swollen to see, his growth plates where shifted, his big toe nail may fall off and the blood blister on the bottom of his toe will heal on its own. So they taped his little toes up sent us with some antibiotics and home we came. By that night he was walking and jumping around like normal! Thank heavens!

The Damage

Conner was taking really good care in the hospital be all the ER staff! Especially this one

Happy 25th Devin

Devin had his 25th Birthday last week. We had a BBQ at our house with some friends and family with a ton of food! Devins big gift this year was a .40 pistol, (I think that's what its called:)) Devin's parents were bringing it to the party, so the only present that I had at our house for him was a box of bullets and of course I couldn't let him open those until he got the gun. Needless to say it drove him nuts all day not to be able to open "his" birthday gift!



Happy Birthday Devin!!

Also we are still working on the backyard the never ending project. But our pond is done!!!!! YEAH, We have the plants planted all the rocks around the pond, the waterfall going and the fish in! For some reason the little fish keep dieing. The grass has some bare spots but its coming in and we couldn't be more excited!!!!

August is Gone

I can't believe that summer is already over. I love the long day hot days and all the outdoor fun, Here are some pictures of our August days. We got Conners one year pictures, he was so tired and grumpy but some of them did turn out cute! We took another trip down to Mexico. The water was perfect! We spent the days on the beach playing in the sand and water, riding jets skies, making cobbler and letting off fire works and just relaxing. I love Mexico!
Conner found that he loves corn on the cob. Its really entertaining to watch him eat it. And last but not least we are still working on the back yard, we got the pond and the waterfall in and the grass planted. I can't believe how fast its growing it already ready to be mowed! We are really going to enjoy our backyard next summer! Hope everyone else had a great summer!
