Connor's birthday was a week ago today, and we were supposed to go to the park and get ice cream with Katie and Heather, but it was raining, so we went to Incredible Pizza! Connor had a great time! Here he is riding the red car.
I think this was his favorite game. It didn't cost any money because all he wanted to do was move the steering wheel, and he couldn't reach it from the seat, so he sat on the floor. 
You can't have a birthday without ice cream, right?!
We had his birthday party yesterday, Sunday, and it was great! He is such a blessed little boy to have so many people that love him! The party was a dumptruck theme, and I did go a little crazy with it... but oh well... 
food for the kids (served out of dumptrucks of course)
Dirt cake for the kids (more dumptruck usage) and regular cake for the adults - although half of the kids ate the regular cake and their was (to my dissapointment) only a small amount of dirt cake left at the end of the party... who knew dirt cake was so amazing?! 
Big bite of dirt cake for the birthday boy! 
Presents were pure chaos (like at most children's birthday parties every child has to help open) and to quote myself, "Everybody needs to sit down! Momma is getting stressed!" lol - not my proudest birthday party moment, but what can ya do when 10 kids are sitting at your feet and trying to open one gift at the same time?
Giving Poppa (a.k.a. golf cart - that's what connor calls him because everytime we visit he takes him for a ride on the golf cart) a kiss thank you for the cute clothes!
OK - confession time. I spent approximately 12 hours making these jello cups. They were adorable. Six different layers of jello stacked on top of each other in a see through plastic cup. How awesome is that?! Well, let me tell you it was worth every second when I saw Connor throw his spoon to the side and dig his whole arm into the cup to get some jello! Then he looked at me and said, "cold!" lol! And he ate the whole cup! I love him!
Connor got a bowling set from Grandpa James and Sheryl. Here he is in action!
