Fall Sports Begin!

Well, life sure is busy these days! Hence, the month without blog updates! Connor is playing both Fall Ball and Soccer which makes for busy weeks! Michael is coaching tball again, so that adds to the craziness as well. Connor loves it, so it makes it all worth it! Even on the few days that he doesn't have practice or games, he asks to go to the park and practice! He's constantly dribbling a soccer ball around the house or playing catch. It's only a matter of time before something gets broken! I get so much joy out of watching him play!

Fun Day at Fairytale Town

Connor's Birthday

Connor's actual birthday was filled with fun! The festivities just continued! He chose breakfast which included a trip to the donut shop and a bowl full of Lucky Charms cereal. We opened presents throughout the day and had fun playing with all of his new toys. Poppy was patient enough to work on a lego truck with Connor throughout the day as well. We went to Wicked West Pizza for lunch and then finished the night off at a River Cats game. Connor got to see Dinger and got to run the bases after the game. Connor had a blast and we had such fun celebrating with our little man!

His Birthday Invitation:

Birthday Surprise to Discovery Kingdom

I surprised Connor with a trip to Discovery Kingdom during his birthday week. We had a fabulous time! We were one of the first ones there and we closed the park down. Connor loved the rides of course, but really enjoyed the shows! He got to touch an elephant and a baby alligator. He loved the dolphin shows and asked to stay after to ask questions to the trainers. He asked great questions, like how does the dolphin lift itself out of water, and how does the dolphin catch balls with his teeth without popping the balls. Smart kiddo! Connor loved all the rides, especially the log ride which we went on 3 times! I was drenched!! I had an absolute blast spending the day with him!
