Connor turns one!!!!

What a birthday. My grandma came to visit & she gave me this cool sports car. I drove it into town for breakfast at Tupelo Junction. I had breakfast with Mom, Dad & Grandma. They let me park my ride right there in the restaurant. I had a birthday hat with my name on it so everyone was wishing me happy birthday and knew my name.

That afternoon we loaded up my new wagon and went to the beach. It was awesome. We took snacks, toys, Grandma & Zuki came too. I played in the water and practiced walking with my dad. We saw lots of people surfing and even some dolphins playing in the water.

That night we all had dinner together. My uncle Terry came too. I had carrot cake cupcakes, I'm not sure how I felt about the frosting. It was really sweet.

1st Ice Cream Cone

Last weekend after we had a picnic at Shoreline Park, we took Connor to McConnell's ice cream. Chris and I both shared little bits of our ice cream cones with Connor. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera with us. He had ice cream all over his face, it was adorable. He loved taking bites of the sugar cone and then sharing it with us. I think he's already addicted, like his dad.

Last weekend I visited my Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Great Uncle Bobby, Uncle Matthew, Auntie Andrea and cousin Natalie (isn't she pretty!). I even got to see my dad's highschool friend, Sam and his family. It was fun, although I was very clingy to my dad. I wouldn't let him do anything unless I was there. If he let me be alone for just one second I cried as hard I could and he would come back. :-) A little magic weapon us babies have. As you can see I'm in every picture my Dad's in. Dad got a little annoyed, but I think he enjoyed it because we bonded.

The 3 Greats let me play there piano. I love the piano so much! I think its something I would like to do as I get older. I just feel comfortable banging on the keys. Check out my first recording below. I think you will enjoy it!






Sorry I didn't let you hold me Grandma! When you come to visit me in Santa Barbara I will. :-) Grandma and Grandpa thanks for letting us stay at your house! We had a great time!
