Our Lil' Bug: Catching Up On Life

A lot had happened over the weekend. 1st, Conner has been walking around like crazy! He got to walk to daddy when he came home. He walked from the couch to the door for the first time, Of course, that made daddy smile! 2nd, Conner finally learned how to clap his hands together. Usually, he just shakes them up in the air. So cute! 3rd, I found him sitting on Brian's old toy chest. Be still my heart! I smiled then of course my mama's fear kick in gear that I was afraid that he might fall over. Yes, I took a picture before letting him down. haha! Then this morning, I found out how Conner climbed onto the toy chest. He stood on a smaller box next to it. He was sitting happily while eating his cheerios. Sigh* Well, that's not all...he stood on top of a file box and leaned over on the end table to reach for a t.v. remote thats on the couch. Then of course, that didn't stop him. He got himself on the couch for the first time. Man! He really is becoming an adventurous monkey. So much like his mama!

This weekend has gotten a lot colder than we had expected. That means Fall is right around the corner! I LOVE Fall! Lucky, I bought Conner some fall/winter clothes a week before. There was a big sale at the Children's Place. Whoohoo! I love what we got for the price we bought!

Last Friday, I was so excited because we're going to a football game. I made chili for dinner, dressed Conner and I in our warm hoodies and wait for my hubby to come home from work. This was Conner's 1st Friday night high school football game. And 1st game for us old people since we had been married for 2 years. Guess we were that busy! We went to Jefferson's game and boy! It was so much fun! Conner danced and talked the entire time. Of course, it was getting late and the 1st half was longer than we had expected. So we decided to leave during halftime (with a good note of the score). 29-14. The final score was 54-29! Whoohoo! Go Dragon! We also saw a few of my old church friends whom I have not seen in almost 8 years! It was so good to see the Crow's family and their adopted daughter from China. The last time I saw her she was almost 3 years old. Now she is 10, wow!

Saturday, we went to my parents house very early in the morning. I had planned to stay at their house with Conner so we can sleep in while my mom & BG go out to shop. Dad invited us to go out for breakfast before they do their shopping. So we did! We went to Curt's. The food was yummy! Conner had enjoyed sitting next to Opa and eat some scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then we went to walmart. Conner fell asleep in the cart. 1st time ever! So sweet! Then off to Sam's to get Conner's monthly bulk of diapers. We saved a lot of money and worries by doing this. If we hadn't we would have been buying enough diapers to last us every 2 weeks. So much easier to get the bulk size. We start getting Sam's diapers last June. It lasts us a month maybe more. Cost: $38 total included taxes! Yikes! But better than AHHHH! We all went back to my parents' house for a cookout & to watch a movie, Rio. It was nice to hang out with them since we all had been busy.

Overall, God is in the midst of my life. He continues to amaze me with his power and greatness! I love my savior and hope one day Conner will know who loves him even more than I do. =)

1st of the many greetings when daddy comes home!
