Future Truckers of America

We try to be responsible parents and to encourage the little guy to explore his options in life. There's just so much out there to see and to do. The last thing we want to do is to stifle his creativity or not allow him to express himself. Having said that, this is not where we expected Connor to go with it.

Connor's First Crush

When you wish upon a star...

(apparently he likes older women)

Fight the System

He may not be a teenager yet, but I'm pretty sure he's seen one on TV. It must have appealed to him because now he seems to be asserting himself more and more in his battle for independence. In fact, just this morning we had an episode when he refused his milk until it comes in chocolate or strawberry flavors. This is him chanting "Give me liberty or give me chocolate!!" (I think he gets it from his mother)

Quality Time Together

Even though he has a pretty demanding schedule, the Little Guy makes a point to have some quality one on one time with mommy and daddy everyday

Sometimes he even reads his own bedtime stories to himself...

...but he only has about a one book limit

Who needs milk when you've got Sunkist?!?!

Jurassic Park Revisited

We were flippin through the channels the other night and Little Man saw that Jurassic Park III was on and he wanted to create his own little Jurassic Park to make the movie experience that much more real.

Grandma Time

Connor had a fun time with Grandma Peterson this past week. She spoiled him and loved him and hugged him just like grandmas are s'posed to do.Here the Little Man is showing off what grandma bought him for Christmas AND working on his latest pose. He likes to call this one "Sunrise in Tibet". He is still working on "Blue Steel" but thinks it will come together any day now. We got the chance to take grandma down to Nauvoo and let her see the temple. She came to Nauvoo over 30 years ago so it was a nice treat for her. You can tell that she's really enjoying our wonderful Midwestern weather - it's practically the same as San Diego weather.
This is what we like to call "The Eject Button". Press it and see what happens...

It's Yummy Time

I sure like it when Grandma comes..... she gives me all the cookies I want!!

Check Me Out

My name is Connor, I am 10 lbs and 22 inches long. I am a Pisces and I like long rolls on the beach, nap time and I hardly ever spit up. I am looking for a playmate who shares my values of eating, pooping and sleeping. Check out my profile at LDSBabySingles.com

This is how Little Man reacted when he saw his dad's March Madness bracket. Better luck next year dad!
It's ok dad, we can still hang out.

Return to the Zoo

Connor had so much fun at the zoo last week that he wanted to go back. Only this time he brought all his lady friends.From right to left, there's Kennedy (AKA- PW or Cheeks), Lillie and Emma (who is trying to hold his hand). Looks like this little man's got game!

Drawing on his experiences from last week, Connor showed his three lady friends all the animals at the zoo. He even tried to impress the girls by going face to face with a man-eating tiger. But of course, mom had to cramp his style by insisting he stay on the outside of the cage. That's the last time he'll let her tag along on one of his dates.

Mommy's New Hair-do

Who says bein' a mom isn't fun??
