trip to see Santa

Connor wasn't having it again this year, apparently Santa is too scary. We ended up all getting in the picture, once I get the picture scanned in I'll post it. It's pretty funny, we almost used it as our Christmas card --ha!

Connor - 2 1/2

Mason - 8 weeks

pics of the boys

Mason Dean has arrived!

Mason arrived on October 15th at 8:52 AM. He weighed 8 pounds 2 oz and was 19.25 inches long. Connor still doesn't know what to think, but has taken a liking to the little guy!

buckets of fun

A few weeks ago Connor and our neighbor Payton had fun playing in some buckets that we have. Who knew a bucket could be so much fun!?

big boy bed

Finally, a big boy bed! We bought bunk beds but are just using the top bunk for now. He was very excited to see it after all the talk.

Happy boy.

Getting ready for bed.

Reading before bed (notice the book is upside down).

Connor this morning after sleeping all night in his big boy bed!

the evolution of a swing set

Connor asked to get his "work clothes" on, then headed out back on his 4-wheeler to start helping build the swing set.

It pretty much took Kevin, his dad and my dad (and Connor) all weekend to build this monster. They started out with 5 huge boxes,and a 68 page manual.

Connor needed to take a break. He was working pretty hard.

Getting closer!

Voila! We have one happy boy!

Thank you daddy, papa and bumpa!

Hannah comes to visit

The Storey's and the Breidenthal's came over Friday night for dins at our new place. Hannah and Connor cooperated for a few pics, until Hannah started druleing on Connor. He must have liked it though because he's still talking about it today. :)

slumber party with Evelyn

Evelyn had her first slumber party at our house last weekend. We had fun playing in the bounce around, playing in sleeping bags and taking a bath. Can't wait for her to come over again!

happy birthday to Kevin

Ok, I am a little late posting these pics, but here are some from Kevin's b-day. We had fun with cousin Evelyn, Suz, John, Nana and Bumpa, then C and dad ended the day relaxing outside. Connor loves to put his hands behind his head, he does this in the car, on the couch, just about anywhere! He's an old man at heart. Happy b-day dad!!

Connor riding his bike

Connor can pedal his bike so well, it's so fun to watch him!

connor finally gets dirty

Connor finally gets messy! This poor cupcake was demolished but he enjoyed every bite.

Connor got this cool new t-shirt for his birthday! :)

more b-day fun

Cookie cake, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles and presents doesn't get much better than this!
