Connor's Birthday Party

Last night we had Connor's birthday party. He had some of his best friends, Colby, Lyle and Preslie go with us. We went to a new place in Mesquite called Incredible Pizza. It was so much fun! The place really reminded Brock and I of a place they would have at Disney World. They had 3 dining rooms, a gymnasium, a movie theater, and a diner. We ate in the movie theater. The food was really good, pizza, baked potatoes, pasta, salad, and more.

After dinner, we armed the kids with "credit cards" and they were off to play. The Fair Grounds had bumper cars, go-carts, putt-putt, bowling and arcade games. After a few hours of playing, we hurded back into the car and drove home. We opened Connor's presents and ate cake. The kids ran wild for a little while, then it was time for Preslie to go home. So, we took her home and of course we had to play there for awhile. Then back home! The boys were so good!

I think all of the kids had a good time and Connor had the best birthday party of his life!

Connor's 1st Coach-Pitch Baseball Game

We enjoyed his game so much! My grandparents were still in town, so they even got to come. I don't get to watch too much of the game because Kaden is pretty active, but I loved watching him in action.

The first time up to bat, he struck out but that was okay. He made up for it. The next time he got up to bat, he got what I think is called a RBI...one of his friends got to homebase off of his hit...is that an RBI????

Then he almost got a homerun...he got all the way to third base. With the next batter he got all the way in and got a point...I believe he also got another RBI at that bat...

Again, I didn't get to see much, but I was impressed with what I did see!

Connor's 7th Birthday!!!

Connor got so lucky this year! My parent's 30th anniversary was this year and it just happens to fall a couple of days before Connor's birthday. So we had a party for them and surprised them with their parents. The party was on Saturday and Sunday was Connor's birthday. We had quite a group meet us at Connor's favorite restaurant, Snuffer's, for lunch after church.



He was so excited to see so many people gathered together for his birthday! That evening my whole family met at Beau's house for dinner. The boys had a great time and it was wonderful to spend so much time with my grandparents and cousin that I never get to see.



It is very important to me for my grandfather to play and know Kaden since he is his name sake. Kaden's middle name is Samuel, like PeePaw. When he is in town, Kaden becomes Sammy. I love my grandfather and wish that I could spend more time with him.


Be thankful if you live close to your grandparents, I miss them everyday.

Happy Birthday Connor! I hope you had a GREAT day! I love you!

Labor Day????

I finally got Kaden to lay down and take a nap so that I could take a nap and this is what I found....

Needless to say, there was no room for me to take a nap...so sad. And I am the one growing another human!

Connor's 1st Day of 1st Grade

I can't believe how late this is, but you can guess why by reading my last post! Connor had a great first week of school. He has a wonderful teacher who I think is going to be great for him! He has already come home with new knowledge. He really enjoys class. It might be because he has so many of his friends in his class. Connor and I are really blessed to be at such a wonderful school with wonderful teachers and students. I love my class and my team.

This is going to be a great year!
