Belated Birthday

I promised myself I would post pictures of Connor celebrating her birthday before Taylor's birthday.  But in all fairness, having two kids born in the same month is crazy.  Anyway, for Connor's birthday this year we had two family parties.  The first celebration was a 'Pooh-l' party at my parent's house on Labor Day. Obviously, we wanted to use the pool, and we had a 'Pooh' theme.
 She couldn't wait to get her little hands on her 'Bee-hive' cake.

Taylor is a fish in the pool...but was freezing when we took a break for cake

I just love T's face smiling up at Connor in this one

Oh yeah, she blew out her candle on her own...first try, no spit even!

Opening gifts

Snuggling new clothes

I love that they want to play with everything we opened



Connor is actually a really good present un-wrapper.  I know, that probably does not come as a surprise at all.

Oooh!  A shoe box!

Clothes! Yay, let me take them to the person who gave them to me.

And show you how they fit....

Reading cards

I had to explain what a 'piece of paper' inside of a card meant to Taylor.  She got the concept when I said we could take it and go buy something at the store.

Oh boy - babies!


Taylor & Evan checking out her new Princess books

Another baby! - A Princess Baby even! OH MY!!!  (Taylor was a little jealous, Aunt Steph told her she would take care of it ;)  )

And this is how she spends most of her time with her babies, carrying them around in her little arm.  


The day after Labor Day, we had Andy's side of the family over for dinner.  I did a terrible job with the camera, so there are very few pictures of Andy & Connor opening gifts....
Allison and Connor were having a staring contest, apparently.

Musical cards!!

Trying on her new Elmo baby Jayhawk shirt!

Shop till you Drop

Mid-snack, she finally passed out. At least Target has super sturdy straps to hold her in.
