Conversations with Kelsey

Wondering what conversations with Kelsey are like? Imagine a 17 year old attitude coming out of a 2 year old mouth. She's a real spitfire.

She is really precious and her vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds every day. She and Connor both are so sweet and precious. They melt our hearts.

Conversation with Connor

Another installment of "Conversations with Connor"...

Connor just ended the spring TBall season and throughout the season we've played catch in the backyard. And we've also tried to teach him some of the finer points of baseball lingo, one of them being "Bring the heat".

So this morning, we're in the family room, tossing a blow up ball around, and Connor yells "Bring the humidity Dad!"

Here's Connor making his first ever spaetzle. He was quite good at using the schwob.

We made two batches for Christmas dinner... Can't wait!

Since I haven't posted in some time, I thought this little gem could give a little jump start:

And, we gotta get one of Connor looking cool, calm and collected:

Trip to the snow!

We had and amazing trip to Shaver Lake with tons of white fluffy flakes falling from the sky. An action packed weekend of sledding, sledding, more sledding and plenty of shoveling.

Happy 4th birthday Connor.

All the normal sayings apply:



Time has flown by so fast.
We can't believe he's already 4!
What happened to the little baby/toddler?

We're also so proud, so happy, and so blessed to have such a fun, happy, energetic, smart, enthusiastic, funny kid in Connor. He puts a smile on our face daily and gives and receives love with open arms.

We love you Connor. Happy 4th Birthday.

See the set of birthday pictures.

My mom and dad came for a weekend visit and we went to Cambria to attempt some stunt kite flying at Moonstone Beach. It was a beautiful day, but not a great one for flying. We had fun though.

While in San Diego, we skipped on over to LEGOLAND. What a great place to take an energetic, enthusiatistic 3 1/2 year old! Connor love every minute of the day, and we went from park open to park close. The Golec family joined us and it was great to have some veteran visitors to show us around.
