Ward Luau

Our ward put on a fun Luau last night at the church. Connor loved it. We put him in a Hawaiian outfit my Grandparents bought for him about 1 1/2 years ago.


They had a fun pinata at the party and Connor got two turns to hit it. My camera wasn't working during the hitting of the pinata so I thought I would re-inact it. So being mother of the year again... I had a little girl from the ward hold the pinata and gave Connor the bat. Well bad idea because he started to hit the pinata with the bat. Thankfully he didn't hit her.

Family Get Together

My brother Jeff and his family, Amanda, Aly and Rowan came to California and visited us this past week. It was really fun having them and we were glas they could stay with us.

We went to the beach in Santa Cruz and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.



The day Rowan came she was talking all about the baby and could not stop touching him. The day she left she still wasn't sick of "baby". It was really cute how much she loved him.

I'm Bored

With such a small place to play in, Connor has found that the garage and all that is in it has been quite fun.

After giving him a bath, he ran to the garage and jumped right into the dryer.
"Wow mom it's roomy in here!"
While going through the garage boxes Connor found a comfy new hat!

Cement Pond

We got a really good deal on this fun swimming pool at Target. Connor loves to jump into the pool with all his clothes on, so we have to make sure when he goes outside we either have to strip him down or check to make sure the pool is emptied.


Saturday Avy came by and Connor and her had a naked swimming pool party.


Our Garden

This is our unruly tomato plant. We got so many tomatoes that I made 2 giant batches of salsa and gave away a ridiculous amount to friends and neighbors!! We have been putting tomatoes on everything!
Our corn is another story!! We had peas earlier in the season and they grew too fast and shaded the corn. The corn didn't do too well, but we have several cobbs. My mom said the corn will probably break the stalks in half before the corn is ripe for the picking.

Our canteloupe popped up, but Evan thinks it looks like a watermelon so I may have my plants mixed up!
Our squash keeps coming and we are wondering when it will stop!! We original planted the whole packet of seeds and then realized that you really only need 1 or 2, so I pulled a ton but couldn't pull them all. I kept 12 plants and that was 11 too many.
Digging for tatters! We planted potatoes and were surprised that we got any. I planted grocery store potatoes and heard later that you shouldn't do that if you want good potatoes.

Little Sicky

Who ever said having a baby during the summer is better because your baby won't get sick was not telling the truth!! My little Kale got sick with bronchiolitis and had to be put on a nebulizer. He was sleeping all day long. He is feeling much better and I hope he doesn't get sick for along time.
