Almost Back to Normal!

So today was a great day compared to the weekend. Conner is pretty much back to his fun cute self, again! I love love it! He cracks me up all day and when he's not feeling good I really start to miss my little comedian! : ) This first picture is of what he wanted to wear all day today! I love the motorcyle boots, but when the day started to get later and he was still in this outfit I had to force him to change because we were not going to the store like that! : ) He's loves having shoes on because I think that he wants to be ready for when a door opens, so that he can just squeeze through and make a run for it! If he doesn't have shoes on he'll bring me shoes until I finally break down and put them on. He even sleeps in them sometimes!

Conner showing us his teeth again. It just never gets old for me! I love it! : )

Poor Sick Boy, Again!!

I give up! I don't know what I am doing wrong, but our poor little guy is sick again! Last week he woke up in the middle of night with 102 temp, and had a fever almost all night it was so sad. He also has this really nasty cough! I was going to take him to the doctor on Friday, but he woke up and was acting normal so I decided not too. I kicked myself later though because Friday night he woke up in the middle of the night again with 101 temp! I was a very tired Mom! : ) Saturday Jess' parents came over and Tom helped Jess put up our retaining wall in the back, and I'll have to post some pictures tomorrow because it looks awesome! It really makes our backyard look so much bigger! Anyways, Grammy Walters hung out with us inside and boy was Conner super boring! I was even bored because all he wanted to do was sit in front of the sliding glass door and watch the big machines push dirt around! Jess' Mom put it well when she said it was like watching grass grow! He was super needy and would not let me get anything done! He did end up taking a long nap after some playing in the dirt, so that was nice.

When I was home all day Friday with a sick super needy child I decided to get Conner's tent out for the first time. We got him this tunnel set from Costco for Christmas and it came with a couple of fun tents. I had never gotten them out yet because I just thought that it would be a mess trying to put together, but on Friday I was desperate! Turned out not as hard as I thought, and Conner is so obsessed with it! It is hilarious! He'll run into his room and try to climb into his crib to get his pillow and blanket so that he can put them in his tent. Then he has to have one of us in it with him all the time! He'll run over and grab your finger and pull you in! What a goof! He's just getting so big! He's starting to say words like crazy! He says no, yes, yeah, door, dog, ball, shoes, eye, hi, drink, of course Mommy, and Daddy, truck, and right now we're working on bye bye. We did have an incident today where I said "Oh Crap" and Conner turned around and said "Crap". Jess and I just looked at each other and cracked up, but it's starting already we're going to have to be careful what we say! Yikes! : ) It makes me sad how fast he's growing, but I know that in 6 weeks we're having another baby, so we'll get to start all over again with another cutie while Conner keeps learning his new fun things everyday.

Conner in his "Fort"! : )


Poor sick little guy! He never just sits still, so when he was just cuddled up on the couch I knew that he wasn't feeling good!

Spring Break Oregon Trip

A week ago my parents rented a house for the weekend in Lincoln City, OR since the kids were on Spring Break. They invited us along for the ride, and we were so excited! We all went last summer and had a ball, so that made it even more exciting to look forward to! The house they got was really nice, but it was too bad that we only got to stay for the weekend. I think that it just ended up going by way to fast for all of us. We all rode down together, and I was kind of nervous about taking Conner on a 6 hour car ride because he's so busy but he was a sport. Conner loved it, especially the beach. I didn't take my camera with me to the beach because I knew that I would be chasing Conner all over the place, so I need to get all the cute pictures that my Mom got and post them. She got some way good ones! We were able to hit up the way good factory outlet mall there, and we even got a visit from my Aunt and Uncle and cousins. They were able to join us for a night. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Moberg, it was an awesome weekend! : 0 )

My Aunt took us to this way cute, fun 50's diner in Newport, OR for lunch. It was tons of fun, and the food was delicious! The guys were out boogie boarding all day, so we took a little road trip without them. Conner is growing up so fast! He makes us laugh all the time! When we ask Conner to show us his teeth the picture to the left is what he does! It is my favorite thing that he does right now! I love it! : )

Our boy is obsessed with being outside! He would play out there for hours if we let him. Jess went and picked up this ball for him while we were there and he loved it so much that when we left after the weekend it was flat! : )


Pictures to come of the beautiful beach! : )

Worst Mother Moment Yet : (

This week our good friends Ryan and Amanda Bishop came to Tri-Cities for a job interview, and we were lucky enough to be able to meet up with them. It's been like forever since we've seen each other, and we always have lots of fun together! It would be super awesome if they ended up taking the job here, because then we could really get some good hang out time and kids play time in. Well, they came over on Thursday when Jess was getting off of work, and we showed the house and then we were going to go grab some Inca's for dinner! Now the sad part of the story, as I was showing Amanda around our house we went into the master bedroom, and Conner was following us around. I just picked him up and put him on our bed. He always gets up on our bed, and he's known how to get down off of things for awhile, so I didn't think anything of it. I always put him up on the couch and bed and stuff and when he wants down he just turns around and drops down feet first. Well as Amanda and I were talking Conner was walking around on top of the bed, and some how he like slipped or kind of bounced off, and he hit the floor head first extremely hard! I can still hear the sound of the thud in my head, and it just makes me sick to my stomach! I just walked over to him and picked him up and of course he was doing that silent cry thing because he fell so hard, but this kid falls all the time and just hops right back up and keeps on going. When I picked him up and he was doing that whole little silent cry thing I knew that he was hurt, poor guy! Well Ryan and Jess came into the room because they heard the thud out in the kitchen and by then Conner was full on crying. As they came in the room Conner started to act really funny and was arching his back and kind of stopped crying, so I laid him down on the bed. His eyes kind of rolled up, and he kept arching his back and was kind of unresponsive for a little bit. I grabbed his face and was looking in his eyes and saying "Conner" but of course he didn't react. My first instint was "We need to call 911" I was worried that he had a neck injury or something, but it was just super scary to see him like that! Thank goodness everyone else around me was calm, because they just reassured us that everything was going to be okay. Ryan is graduating in Physical Therapy and so he's pretty good at staying calm I guess in these kinds of mother freak out situations. I was so glad that Ryan and Amanda were there because they said that the same thing happened to their daughter once, and after a while she calmed down and she was okay. It was good to hear that I just wasn't a bad mother that lets her little guy fall on his head! He was only unresponsive for just a little bit, but man it felt like forever to me! After a couple of seconds he started to cry again, and he just snuggled up to me for awhile. He then did get super pale though and I was just waiting for him to throw up all over me! We think that either he just got really really dazed from hitting his head so hard, or that he actually did get a concussion. He's fine now thank goodness and that night after dinner he was running around and playing with the big guys, but man I hope we never have to experience that again! I know that those kind of situations are just beginning, but I just was haunted by that experience forever! It still makes me so sad to picture Conner like that! : ( Here's some pictures of Conner helping me make cookies earlier that day! He's so funny! He just loves to sit up on the counter and watch me cook! He'll even help with pouring things in and using the hand mixer! Of course his favorite part is when he gets a beater to lick off! : ) What a cutie!

Happy Easter : )

Finally, I am getting these Easter pics up! Well, we of course went over to Moses Lake for the Easter holiday. It was lots of fun! Last year was Conner's first Easter, but he was only 4 months old, so these year he for sure got more into it! I was so fun watching him get all into finding the eggs and eatting the candy, and playing with his toys! We had early church, 8:30 YIKES, so the Easter bunny came while we were at church. It was a lot of fun spending it with my family, and then later on in the day we went back over to Grammy and Gramps Walters' house for some more fun! Grammy Walters got Conner some way cute little Mickey Mouse Crocs! I absolutely love them! We were out in the yard all day today doing yard work, and they were the best shoes for him to just play in the dirt with and walk around in! : ) Thanks Grammy Walters! Grandma and Grandpa Moberg got him a really fun puzzle, a cute baseball bat and ball, and the cutest Easter basket ever filled with all sorts of goodies and fun stuff! He was definently spoiled rotten! : )

Jess and I got him the little lawn mower that when you push it it blows out bubbles. He'll love it this summer when Jess is out mowing the lawn and Conner just always has to be doing what his Daddy is doing! We also got him the cute camp chair that he loves to sit in, and the huge ball! We were at Target the other day, and he about went crazy when he saw all the huge balls so I just had to get him one. It was a lot of fun being able to get some fun stuff for him, and seeing him get really excited about it! : )
Jess bringing Conner out to check out his fun stuff!

Checking out that fun lawn mower! It was so funny because he just went right over to it and started pushing it around like he knew what he was doing! What a goof! : )

He threw that ball around forever. He would grab it, throw it and then chase after it, and then pick it up and do it again. Lets just say that he slept very good that night.

He kept thinking that the Easter eggs were balls, so he would see one and say "Ball, ball" and then grab it and throw it like it was suppose to bounce back at him. What a stinker!

Watching Grandpa enjoy some hard boiled Easter eggs!

Watch a cutie!


I guess he was hoping for a riding lawn mower because he kept trying to sit on it! : )


Conner's first hard boiled egg! He didn't really like it all that much! : )

Checking out his Easter basket with Grandpa. Grandpa made sure that Conner got to try all sorts of good Easter candy. After too long I finally had to put my foot down. : )

He loved those little marshmellow things!

Hanging out with Aunt Tay. I think he was checking out her basket, too!

Mowing the carpet.

Day At the Park with Daddy and Grammy

The weekend before Easter weekend I was able to go with my Mom and her friend Lisa to Spokane for Time Out for Women! Thanks to my loving husband I was able to enjoy this weekend one year old free! I knew that they would have lots of fun hanging out together! Time Out For Women was absolutely great and very inspiring and thanks again Mom for the tickets! The speakers were great and of course it's always fun to get away with the girls for a little bit!

Of course Conner and Jess had a great time and it always seems that when Jess is watching Conner, Conner is always well behaved and takes really good naps and everything. Now Jess is never going to believe me when I tell him about all the ugly tantrums that Conner pulls all the time during the day, or how he refuses sometimes to take a nap, little stinker! : ) I was glad though that they got some good male bonding time in, of course with the help of Grammy Walters! : )

Conner is a huge outdoor lover, and if he had it his way he would be outside all day long rain or shine! Jess being the great Dad that he is took Conner out to the park for some fun! I was so sad that I missed out on seeing Conner have so much fun, but Jess took some fun pictures! Thanks hun! : )

Doing what he does best, climb!
