Mama's Month of May

The month of May has been going by so quickly...so I'm sorry I've fallen behind on this blog! :) Here are a few cute pics from the last couple weeks. The first set is of Mother's Day. I had a wonderful day from beginning to end - I have the best kids in the world!

By the way...click on the pictures if you want to see them larger. Also, be sure to read the "Favorite Connerisms of Today" on the right hand column because I added a couple. 

Conner is trying to put the flower back together for me. It broke when he was holding it. He's such a sweetheart, always. 

And this little cutie was super smiley for our Mommy's day photos. 
I just loved this sweet outfit, so I took a few...
...until she had had enough. Even starting to cry she's darling, isn't she?! :)
Conner walked around the house on the phone and made me realize how quickly he's growing up. He reminded me of Jake, who walks around the house with the headset on too. :)
Here are some pics of a Sky Sox game we went to with  some friends the other day. It was really  fun...and a little scary every time a foul ball came our way. 





Random night- Just thought they were cute in their footed PJs. 
Ok, so we decided to plant a few rows of vegetables in the back yard. Conner now loves to go out and check on the garden. He's very responsible with it and loves to be in charge, watering it and making sure it's ok. We'll let you know if anything grows! (By the way, don't expect carrots like Luke's! This is our first vegetable garden ever.) We're trying another angle at getting Conner to eat more veggies. :) 

This was just a regular weekday walk at Garden of the Gods with my good friend Kristi and her handsome little guy Cameron. Aren't they cute together? 
I wonder how long I walked around with her hat like this!! Oops. 
OK, so aren't babies so sweet in bubbles? Here are some shots I just think are super cute. 

Grandpa Time

Grandpa missed his grandkids too much - so he flew out by himself to visit! Conner ran him all around the zoo, of course, - including through a very tiny tunnel. We played in the backyard a lot, and also worked on potty training (no clothes on Conner method!) The famous Broadmoor Hotel was quite a different experience than when we first visited back when Conner was only weeks old - and not running around playing hide and seek. To top it off, we toured a ghost town museum just to try something new in town. Of course the funny mirrors were a hit. It was great to have you join us to check one more Colorado attraction off the list!

Happy Easter

It was a White Easter out here in Colorado. Notice the snow behind Conner? It didn't stop me from dressing Grace in a sweet little pink and white dress, though. :) We went to church and then went to Shawn and Kristi's house for dinner and games. It was a nice relaxing day...I even got in a nap!

Sprinkle Donuts with Mom

Mom came out to visit the day we got home from Utah. I think Conner and Grace must think we live by most of our relatives because we end up seeing family quite often. It's wonderful that they can have these experiences, so thank you for making them happen. Here are some favorite pics from Moms visit. One of the highlights was our donut stop in Woodland Park, where we ate donuts (chocolate with sprinkles, of course) and flew a turtle kite. It's the first time we'd ever flown a kite with Conner, so he loved the whole day and talks about it still.








The rest of the week, we mostly stayed in enjoying each other. 
Kiss from Grandma 
I did, however, have a portrait session planned for Grace turning 6 months old, so I had Mom help me try out a few outfits. Here are some cute shots of my little doll.
