An Old Wooden Spoon and a .99 Cent Ball

If you look closely at this picture you'll see a room full of toys. Yet, Conor is playing with an old wooden spoon and this big blue ball. He invented this game where he hits the ball with the spoon and his Daddy has to kick it back to him and then he hits the ball right back as fast as he can. He is incredibly entertained by this and only his Daddy is allowed to play it with him. He doesn't even want me in the room! Not to worry, he does play with his real toys most of the time. But every now and then he comes up with these little games and we have to laugh. We just had to take a picture because of the irony of the situation.

2010 is Going to Rock!

Happy New Year!!! Sorry for the long gap in posts. After such a busy December we've been trying to slow down and take it easy. As you can see Conor's been busy with all of his new toys. Now that he has his own guitar and a fabulous new drum set (thank you Aunt Natalie!). He is ready to rock! Add to that his new found love of singing and he's quite a noisy little guy. If he's not talking...he's singing...if he's not singing...he's playing music. Things don't quiet down around here until he goes to bed. His singing can even be heard throughout the grocery store, restaurants, and the mall. He's even gotten very good at singing while simultaneously playing his instruments. I'm blown away at how this kid can multi-task! And yes, we know he is long overdue for a haircut :) Maybe we can squeeze one in this weekend.

2009 went out with a bang! Aunt Charissa & Uncle Nick had their first baby, Chloe Marie, on November 23rd...she is seriously one of the prettiest baby girls I have ever seen! Uncle Bret and Sam tied the knot on NYE! We couldn't be more excited about Sam officially becoming "Aunt Sam" :) Aunt Barb & Uncle Jeramy are planning to move to Frisco...Yay! We can't wait to have them as neighbors! And, Aunt Emilie and Uncle Chris are expecting their second baby this Spring!

We have a big year ahead of us! Next month I will turn the big "3-0"...YIKES! Conor will start a little music class this Spring. This Fall Conor will start going to Preschool part-time (in addition to going to his regular daycare). "Potty Training" is about to start getting a little more serious around here. There are some fun family trips planned for the summer. Warren and I have now added a few Half Marathons to our already busy schedule of Road Bike rides. And next month we'll start some little projects around the house. It's going to be a busy year, but its sure to be full of fun and exciting adventures!
