First Haircut

So Mark finally wore me down and we got Connor's hair cut. I know it was past time... he did have quite the look going, but it was so cute! I told the girl cutting it that I still wanted it a little long - just above the ears. Apparently her ears were broken when I said that, because she cut it almost an inch above his ears!! It is a little (lot) shorter than I wanted, but he is still adorable :)

Looks like he's thinking, "Let's just get this thing started already!"

He didn't really like her touching his ears (or his head, really) but he did really well! (even though he looks quite unhappy! haha)


Another nervous face... he's thinking what I'm thinking - Too Short!!



He looks so grown up in this picture!!

The back does look a lot better... not quite so birds-nest-ish
This picture just cracks me up!!

Thumbs up!

Good Morning Hair and State Fair... and some random videos...

So I go into Connor's room to get him up and this is what I see smiling back at me...

Mark James took a half day of work and took Connor and I to the State Fair!! It was so fun!

Here is Connor with a pig (he is much more interested in the ceiling fans)...

Connor saying thank you and I love you to Daddy :)

My boy is so smart! :)

Connor loves to play cars.. and loves his mommy :)

The box is always more fun...

Connor and Daddy's nose

Crawling, museum, SOO big, life jacket

I know I've said (typed) it before, but I really do need to post more often... There are four fun events in this post! Oh well! Enjoy! :)

Here is Connor crawling after Daddy... he is so fast!

We went to the Children's Museum last week and Connor had so much fun with his friends! We thought to go after school started so it wouldn't be busy, but we weren't the only ones that thought that! It was packed!

Connor found himself in the mirror and thought he needed a kiss :)

Planting a garden...He thought he might be able to get away with this block, but soon realized he was wrong...

Our Baby Connor is so smart!

Grandpa and Gammy bought Connor a life jacket for the boat! Connor loves it!

First things first, Connor is CRAWLING!! This video was actually taken over a week ago, and he gets better and faster every day, so just imagine him now!

Next is the yogurt fiasco... my boy does NOT like yogurt!!

Last week was our five year anniversary, so I surprised Mark with a trip to Cincinnati! He wanted to plan our anniversary, but I told him that I was doing it! It was a complete surprise to him! I called one of his friends at work, Melissa, and asked her to get him a half day last Friday (our anniversary), and when Connor and I went to have lunch with Daddy, I told him that he would be leaving work at 2:00 and coming home. He was shocked! When he got home I had him all packed and loaded in the car. Grandpa Horn (my dad) was already here getting ready to take Connor to their new lake house for the night and next day. After guessing the apple orchard, the Harbert's house and the race track, he finally guessed Cincinnati! We stayed at the Hilton and went to a nice dinner (Tony's, if you are ever in Cincy, is fabulous!). Saturday we went to the zoo and then to a meat and farmers market (which was so awesome). Here are some pics from the zoo... and a video of the lion telling Mark just what he thinks of him waving his arms around...

Mark is touching some weird lizard creature...

I have no idea what this thing is....

If you look closely you can see the elephant's butt over Mark's shoulder... lovely...
