Speechless

The Dare Devil














The Dancing Queen
(Ignore the background dorky-ness of my voice and the gift bags in the dining room.  I've cleaned up the dining room, but I'm sure my voice is still dorky.  Also, don't ask what is up with her outfit.  It was an interesting evening...)

Little ONE

I'm taking a quick break from finding and scraping layers of birthday cake icing off the floor to put up a few pictures of Connor's birthday party.  It was a beautiful early fall day - the kind that is too warm to have your AC turned off but too cool to leave it on.  We left ours off, and now I'm subsequently trying to kill 300 flies that ventured in and out of our really crappy screen door. 

About the party - great turnout of our family and friends.  We are very lucky to have so many great people around us.  Okay, enough sappiness....that's about all you will get from me.















Pre-cake. Taylor was not so cooperative on the smiling at this point. 















Connor's 'Block Cake'.  Made by my mom and so tasty.  I had one of the few remaining pieces for breakfast this morning (healthy, I know). Unfortunately, we didn't prep Taylor on helping to blow out the candle - so I think my mom actually did it.  My head was too far up my camera trying to take a picture that I didn't even think about it.

Post-cake.  You ask..no bib?  Don't worry, the dress washed up miraculously well.


Little hillbilly baby chilling with her dad waiting to open the next present.  I cannot believe I forgot to move the uber-trashy plastic basketball off the deck before the party.  Oh well, probably went well with the mosquitoes.

Our attempt at a family picture.  Andy and I were obviously misdirected on which camera we should look at.  Our birthday girl finally had a dress on again, but I apparently was trying to show off her outie.  And the princess was about 47 minutes into a frosting high.  Gah.  We'll try again on the 28th :)

ANYWHO - Happy Birthday sweet baby Connor.  We love you!
