Conner the Graduate!

Today was Conner's Preschool Graduation. It was so cute!! The kids were so funny. They all marched in wearing their graduation hats, and sang a song. (Lindsey, I think Brendan looks a little disgruntled about the whole thing!!  lol!!)

He got to hold the letter C, of course for Conner!

Conner absolutely loves his teacher Ms. Tanya! She does such an awesome job with the kids! Conner gets so excited whenever he sees Ms. Tanya at church. He always informs me where she is sitting, and if she is there, and waves to her whenever he gets the chance.

Conner is looking forward to another year with Ms. Tanya next year before he goes to Kindergarten.

I just had to laugh when his teacher was giving out awards for completing preschool. She also told something about each child. What she had to say about my little Conner was RIGHT ON!!!  She told everyone how he is just a big ball of energy, and he runs everywhere he goes, and always wanted to make sure he was the first one done with his work. This might explain why sometimes his pictures had like 2 scribbles on it, and his name, and that was it.  LOL!!  Conner does have a ton of energy. He wears me out just watching him somedays! He doesn't want to miss out on a single thing!

He was apparently being shy for us, so I couldn't get a good picture, however, don't let  that fool you. He had a huge grin on his face because he loved all the attention!  :)

We love our Conner!!!!

What are they thinking??

Both the boys made me wonderful Mother's Day gifts at school last week (and at a Primary activity on Saturday they made these fun tiles. Brayden's is on the left, and Conner's on the right.) and proudly waited until yesterday to give them to me. I, of course, loved them. There is nothing better then your children making you something special. However, I think there should be a rule that you can't give such a sweet present to a hormonal, crazy, emotional pregnant mom! What was Brayden's teacher thinking?!?!  This is what he made me at school...

I could barely read it through the tears in my eyes. Then the look  and sweet smile on  my little Brayden's face after I read it and he asks, "do you really like it?" made my heart SO HAPPY!!! I am so blessed with such sweet little boys and an amazing husband!  BTW Patrick totally outdid himself making me an amazing Mother's Day dinner, complete with a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake!! You can never go wrong with that!!

Las Vegas 51's Game

Last weekend we were able to take the boys to the Las Vegas 51's game. 

It was a great time to go also because they were playing the Salt Lake Bees, which we always wanted to go see when we lived up in SLC, but never did. Brayden especially thought it was great to go since he has just started playing baseball too.  We had so much fun!! The boys thought it was great. 

The boys thought it was just about the coolest thing ever to eat peanuts and throw the shells on the ground. Ah, the little things that amuse kids! (and YES my back was killing me by the end of the 4 hours of sitting on these benches. Good thing Patrick is good at back massages! It was worth it though!)

Brayden begged us to buy him a big foam finger. So we finally did, and he was loving it the whole game, waving it in the air every time they hit the ball, or scored. Since Brayden got something, Conner couldn't be left out, so he chose a little bat and ball with the LV 51's logo on it. 

I apparently didn't get a picture of Conner with his bat and ball, but he really loved the foam finger too!

After the game, they had a fireworks show, that the boys just LOVED!!  

We made the mistake of telling Conner there would be fireworks after the game, so he asked us after every inning if it was time for the fireworks. So he was defiantly excited when the fireworks finally started. The weather was perfect that night, and it was a perfect way to spend an evening together as a family. I hope these are the kind of things our kids will remember as they grow up, these fun kind of family memories!
