Connor's Birthday

Connor's birthday came when we were in Utah but we celebrated once we got home.

Here's Connor on the "saddle" seat at McDonald's . He's not asleep, he's just not wanting to look at the camera. Going to Mickey D's was obviously his choice, even though I tried to dissuade him from going there (because Ammon and I just had signed a petition to boycott McDonald's b/c of their pro-gay stance) but, I lost. I figured it was his birthday so he should be able to pick where he wanted to go.

Here he is blowing out the cake we made together. Happy 4th birthday Connor!

Uncle Brian (my brother) was actually out here working and visited us at the same time. It had been his birthday the week before so we celebrated his and Connor's together. We really enjoyed having him here for 2 weeks. Connor enjoyed seeing him each evening. He loved Uncle Brian's robot car (a convertible) that he loved to see open and close. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of that. :(

Connor has shown such an interest in music in the last year or so that we decided to buy him a keyboard for his birthday. Everytime we are at the grandparents houses, he plays their drums or their pianos. He also likes to play on the pianos at church. We figured he would enjoy playing around on it. So, we'll see how it goes!

My mom made some amazing little superhero costumes with capes- Zorro, Batman and Superman.

Connor immediately put on the Superman cape and wanted to be flown around.

Here he is "jumping off of buildings with a single bound...it's a bird...it's a plane...it's Superman!"



Here he is lumbering off the stairs into the arms of his waiting papa. Uncle Brian took a few 'hits' as did I. Wow that kid can jump with some gusto and he never tired of it. This was great fun. Thanks for making these mom!

Here are more gifts from my parents that they bought while on their cruise- a cool t-shirt and beach bag that change color in the sun.
