Connor's birthday!

Yesterday was Connor's 3RD Birthday!

I seriously can't believe that he is 3! It seems like every birthday hits me harder and comes faster! Everytime I can't believe he is already 1....then 2....now 3! I swear time goes by so much faster when you have kids! Honestly I can say that Connor was not a "terrible two" he had very minimul temper tantrums and meltdowns. He is such a good boy and I feel so blessed! He brings so much joy to our lives and you can't not be smiling and laughing when you are with him. It is bittersweet how fast he is growing up. Sometimes I just want to freeze time and keep him the same forever. I have loved every single stage and age so far with him.

The cake!

My car was getting fixed in Salt Lake by a guy that Billy's dad knows and is one of his clients. It wasn't done till 5:30 and there was traffic so Billy didn't get home till 6:45 and the party started at 7. He had 15 minutes to do the foundant frosting. He blames being rushed on it not turning out how he wanted. He thought it looked "crappy" I think it looks fine and it tasted DELICIOUS. Compared to what he usually does it is not as good but it was just fine for Connor! He told Connor If you were paying me for this I would do a lot better lol

Hudson and Connor playing with Connor's raceway that he got from Ma-Ma Nese.

The Holdaways gave Connor the new Kidz Bop cd. Ryan said he is the only 3 year old he would give that present too LOL. This is Connor reading all the songs on the back. He loves it!

Opening presents.

In the afternoon we went to Discovery Gateway. Billy's aunt had free tickets so we all got in for FREE. Connor had a blast and loved it there!

Cool magnet blocks. Connor loved them!

This toy was the winner of the day. We had to pry Connor away from it. See where he spelt his name :)

Today is a milestone day I am 20 weeks prego! Yay I am halfway done! It seriously has gone by so much faster than it did with Connor! 20 more weeks till baby Jack joins our family!

It's a.....

BOY!!!!

I kinda have thought it was for a while and now it is confirmed!

Today was my ultrasound where we got to see that the baby is in fact a boy!

Ultra sounds are my favorite they just make it seem so much more REAL!

Connor went with us to it and he was really good. When we told him it was a boy he said where's Juliet? And we said she's not there, and he said she's sleeping there and we said no she's still in heaven lol.

I am excited that it is a boy. I think it will be fun to have 2 boys and they can be buddies and I think Connor is going to be such a good big brother.

Billy wanted it to be a girl but he is ok. We are only going to have 3 kids so if my 3rd one is not a girl then I will be really sad because I want to have a daughter. I swear it seems like almost everyone I know has them in pairs and then the opposite and they actually love having 2 of the same because they are best friends and then the opposite. Hopefully that is how it works for me!

January so far....

I put January so far as the title of my post because I have been blog slacking lately and I know I will do at least 2 more posts this month. January 25th I find out what I am having, and January 29th is Connor's 3rd birthday!!

Last night I went to Fat Cats with some friends and we ate at Costa Vida and then bowled. We had so much fun! It is so funny because I wasn't even friends with these girls in high school and now us and some others are like our own group of friends just from facebook and blogging pretty much. I love them all!

My friend Amber Pendleton that lives in Indiana came here for Christmas and was here for a few weeks. I was able to get together and have dinner with her and Amber Prior before she went home. We went to Brick Oven. I am so glad I got to see Amber Pendleton because her parents are moving to California and so who knows when she will be back. I love my Amber's! They were my close friends in high school who I still remain close with. Karen and Jess wish you could have been there!

New Years Day it is a tradition to go sledding up at the ranch. The 4 wheelers take us up the big hill with our sleds and then we go down. I didn't know how Connor would like it because it is a big hill and you go SUPER fast. He LOVED it! He was laughing and yelling WOO! The whole time. It was so much fun!
