Connor's Birthday Day and a couple other pics

 Connor started his 3rd Birthday Day with a birthday bar, birthday cereal and birthday pancakes with a candle! He wore his birthday hat and had a great breakfast!
He woke up feeling fine, but as the morning went on I realized he had a fever. It was so pitiful. Ringing in the 3rd year of his little life with a fever. So sad. He was basically crying if I wasn't holding him, but he would not hear of not going to the apple orchard like we had planned. I told him he could stay home and watch tv and relax instead and he did not want to! So to the apple orchard we went! He went down the slide a few times, played on the swings for a few minuts, but spent the majority of his time on the big swing with the Lands eating his apple slushie.

Connor's 3rd Birthday

Connor turns 3 on Wednesday! We had his party over the weekend and it was fantastic! He wanted Lightning McQueen and Mater for his party theme, so I (of course) went a little crazy with it... but you will never see it, because I didn't take any pictures of the setup, the cupcakes, the food, the decorations, the guests, or the present opening. Awesome. Mom of the Year. Good memories.
Here are some pictures I did manage to take.

This was actually the afternoon before the party. He had had his party hat on since the second he got out of bed. He was eating lunch outside at his picnic table.

Kate with Grandpa enjoying all the attention (in her Lightning and Mater dress).
 
This kid could eat cupcakes all day long!





 
This wasn't from his party, but she was in the swing today and LOVED it. So cute. She acted like she was on a roller coaster.  

 
Here she is swinging. Please ignore the part of me growling... when Grandpa did it to her at the party she growled like her brother being the lion on the farm in the next video.
but when I do it I get nothing from her!
So instead of hearing an adorable baby growl, all you hear is just a super cool mom.... growling.
Connor played with his guitar today about 100 times. By the end of the day he had singing, dancing and playing all at once down pat.
 
After Connor's party a few people stayed after to celebrate my birthday. I am 30!! Oh my! Mark make it so special for me. He had a champagne toast for everybody! Thanks to all of you that helped me to celebrate!
