5

Today Conner turns 5.

How is that possible? It seems like it wasn't 5 year ago that he was this little....

(about 2 weeks old)

(5 months old)

Conner was our "surprise" baby. And he was the single greatest surprise we have ever got!

He makes our family so happy.

He is my little love-bug! Everything about him is sweet. His crazy hair in the mornings. His little smile. His contagious laugh. He's constantly telling me he loves me. He still loves to cuddle with me every time I sit down... I hope that never goes away... although I know one day it will. He is always eager to play with friends. He adores his brothers. He tries to multi task while he says his prayers at night by arranging his blankets on his bed or finding a toy to sleep with. He always wants to be my helper in the kitchen and doing laundry. He is super excited to start Kindergarten next month (ohmygosh!!! is he really going to go off to school NEXT month?!?!)  He is full of energy all day long. He loves to say the prayer at dinner.

I thought it would be fun to post pics of him over the years, not just from when he was born.

Here are some of my favorite Conner moments.

Conner on his first birthday... he was sick for his big day, but such a sweet boy.

About 14 months old kicking back watching TV at our house in Taylorsville. 

Conner and Brayden playing in our backyard in Taylorsville.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of him and his rock playing at Bear Lake, UT at about 14 months old.

In Salt Lake City at my cousin's wedding, he's almost 3 years old.

On his 2nd birthday trying out his new trike.

4 years old.

Happy birthday little man!!!! 

I sure love being your mom!
