Conner turns 4!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNER!!!!

Our sweetheart turned 4! (April 13th.) He woke up in the middle of the night and came to my bedside and told me "Mom! I love my birthday decorations!"
Even at 3:00 in the morning he melts my heart but of course I took him back to bed. He then woke us up for the day at about 6:30. We let him open his gift from Corey's parents and that satisfied him for a little while as we tried to wake up. Thank you to "Nana Sylvia" and "Papa Kunz" for the mini golf set. He loves it.

My mom and I took Conner to the Mall for a birthday date to get a pretzel and have his first experience at Build-a-Bear.

He chose this doggy...

The finished project. He was excited to show it to his dad. He has already named him. "Beary." He was sure that a real football player would need a light saver :)

This was Conner's Birthday present. He has Corey to thank for it because I was 50/50. But we found it on sale and it came with the protective net and I knew he would love it. Corey jumps with him every single night after work. It is the best purchase we have made in a long time and I think it will save us from having to buy a new couch as soon (before we got this he would take off the cushions on our basement couch and jump endlessly.)

A big Thank You to Chris as well for staying up all night with Corey putting it up.

All tuckered out after a really long day of CELEBRATING CONNER! You can see he already loved his "Beary" enough to sleep with him along with his other favorite "Piggy."

My Grandpa Rhodehouse shares a birthday the same week as Conner. Here they are at Sunday dinner, we are so grateful that Grandma and Grandpa R have started to come to Sunday dinner at my moms again. My Grandma had several broken bones in her back this past year and they haven't been able to make it out of the house but finally they have started to come again and it is so much nicer with them there.

Connerisms: Conner was counting from 1-10 just for fun on the night we celebrated Conner's birthday with my family. My dad said, "Ok now do it backwards." Instead of counting backwards from 10,9,8...he took the instructions more literally and turned around and counted 1,2,3,4...while walking backwards into our living room. Boy did he get a round of cheers from all of us we thought it was the sweetest thing ever.
