Since Conner started to get his teeth he chops on everything. He sat in his bouncer for 15 minutes just chopping away on his toy bar.



I think that this is Jess' favorite picture. : ) Conner's trying to tell me something I guess.

As a lot of you may know, our little family has the great opportunity to stay the summer in Moses Lake at Jess' parents house. My Mom's house is just down the road, so we like to take walks over there to visit. On the way home from this one Conner couldn't help but fall asleep. I think that the rocky road that we were on just was the right touch to sooth him.



I love how small all baby's hands and feet are. It seems like Conner grows everyday, so every chance that I can get I snap some pictures just so that I can remember these days of him so little.
From this look that Conner gave us we couldn't tell if he was enjoying his cereal, or if he was just trying to figure out what it was. This was one of the first times that we fed him cereal. He's such a good little eater, so it was no time before he was eating almost a whole bowl of cereal in the morning and at night.


We try to get the two cousins together as much as possible before the Rasmussen's take off for the islands, for medical school! We are so sad since we would live right next to them if they stayed in Tri-Cities. Hopefully they'll end up back there someday.

Jess and I say that this is Conner's brainstorming pic. He looks deep in thought about something. :)

Conner loves his teething ring. It is definitely considered one of his 10 top toys.

Conner absolutely loves to put everything in his mouth. I am hoping that it's just because he's teething. It makes me nervous to think about when he gets older and becomes mobile.
My husband is the greatest guy ever! He's just so lovable, and what a charmer! : ) I would definitely be lost without him! He's such a hard worker, and that will definitely pay off this Saturday when he finally graduates from college! Hooray! : ) I love you sweetie! : )

Here we are all hanging out. My brother and sister-in-law came over to Moses Lake for a visit. Ryan just finished pre-med! Congrats! Him and my great sister-in-law, and their 5 month old baby are expecting another one! Congrats to you all! Their kids won't even be a year apart! April is definently a trooper!

The boys being boys at a hard core game of horse.

Taylor has this funny obsession for cameras. She has her own digital camera but there is just something that she loves so much about taking other people's cameras, deleting all of the pics on them, and taking about 100 pics of her self. She so cute that no one could ever get really mad at her, but sadly my mom and her big sis Kendra has lost some way cute pictures because of her obsession. We love her to death though! : )

Of course Conner had to sport his favorite shades!

Here's the girls minus April and Kendra. Taylor is such a proud Aunt!

After some good shopping and staying over night in Seattle, with a gorgeous view of the Seattle Temple from our hotel room, we were almost ready to go. We made a stop at the mall really quick for Jess to exchange some jeans that he got for his birthday. Here is the proud papa and the greatest baby in the world walking proudly through the mall. Conner is sporting his tuxedo onesie for this special occasion, this was his first time to Seattle! : )




We got so lucky to have such a smilely baby! It just melts my heart everytime that he just looks over at me and smiles.

We are so blessed to have such a great Baby! There's times where I just want to squeeze him to pieces! : ) These are just some more pics from our venture to Seattle. He of course continued to be a great baby! Thanks Conner! : )




On our way to Seattle for the weekend we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. It was so pretty! We were going to eat lunch there, but then we decided that we really couldn't pass up the Cheesecake Factory. Conner was such a trooper. He just hung out with his shades on, his new shades because Mom lost the first pair and had to order some new ones. Opps!




Here's our little guy. This first picture is of course his tired eyes. We were on our way to Seattle for the weekend, and this is right before he fell asleep for the rest of the ride. He's so sweet!



Happy Birthday to Jess! For Jess' birthday his wonderful Mother got him an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. As you can see on the last picture his name is misspelt. I swear that everytime that we try to tell people his name over the phone they think that it's Jeff. It's why we just spell it out now, J-E-S-S. : ) Happy Birthday sweetie!







It's so sweet! Everytime that Jess changes Conner's diaper, it takes forever. He tells me that he's going to go and change his diaper, and then a half an hour later I'm wondering where they went. I go into the other room only to find them both cracking up laughing. I think that it's Dad and Son time that they both love. : )








Again here is a bunch of kind of the same picture. I just love to put Conner through photoshoots. I always hope that he'll pull a new face, so I just keep taking pictures just to make sure that if he does I'll catch it.





I found these way fun sunglasses for Conner at Janie and Jack on a trip to Bellevue Square. It's so funny because he loves them, and when we put them on he never takes them off!
