Who am I sir UTAH MAN AM I

Beej & Chris

 We got free awesome tickets to the Utah State vs. U of U football game in September that we could not pass up. The game was in Logan and BJ thought it would be fun for all 4 of us to go- so we braved it and took the kids.
 Kaylee actually did pretty good!
 Connor did as well considering we were in his bedtime by the end. He needed some time to walk around for a bit and then BJ got him to sleep. He was loving sitting on daddy's lap and did for most of the game.

 This was as he was about ready to fall asleep...isn't that cute

 Kaylee colored and played with the people in front of us. I kinda felt bad cause she kept kicking them and would stand on their bench with them...but at the same time they didn't seem to upset and Kaylee was happy so...



 GO UTES! Kaylee still requests the Utah Fight song as she goes to bed. Daddy taught it to her and she almost has it memorized word for word.

Connor 15 months

Beej & Chris


Weight: 23 lbs 12 ounces...................45%
Height: 31 inches...............................40%
Head Circumference: 19 1/2 inches...95%

This little man is 15 months old! What would we do without our Connor boy?!? 

Things Connor likes:
- playing with his sister                           
- eating
- did I say food or eating? ;)
- reading books (esp. Hop on Pop, or any book that makes noise)
- watching his show (baby einstein)
- going outside!
- rocking in the chair while mom or dad sings to him before he goes to sleep

Things Connor dislikes:
- not doing all that Kaylee does
- when someone takes the phone from him while he is talking to daddy
- drinking anything but milk and juice

Connor still takes two naps but we are working on transitioning to one long afternoon nap. He goes down without a peep with his blankie and binky and some warm milk (yep he still likes his milk warm). 

Connor is so fun and outgoing. He goes up and down the stairs and plays in the playroom laughing by himself. He LOVES piggy back rides and will stop whatever he is doing to get one from me (which is usually how I get him downstairs from the playroom). Connor also still loves music and calms down when someone sings to him or if he hears soothing music. 







He used to talk more but lately he hasn't been talking much unless he is really tired and then he just jabbers nonsense and laughs hysterically at himself. A few words he does say constantly are Mamma, Dadda, Baby, Potty, Yeah, No, Cheese, Hop pop. He will occasionally use other words but those are what we hear all the time. We love Connor so much and are so happy he is part of our family.  

Oh and he gives the greatest kisses and hugs. His favorite game is having you chase him and when you do instead of running away he runs right into your arms and gives you a huge hug I. LOVE.IT!

What we do for fun...

Beej & Chris

We got so lucky and had AMAZING peaches this year from both trees. We shared some, froze some, and ate A LOT. LOVE peaches!
Sometimes to change it up we take the stroller and go to the "Apple Park" so here are a few pictures from our last trip there.







Later on that day it started raining. Connor was asleep so he couldn't join us but Kaylee and I ran outside to run in the rain. Kaylee had so much fun!









Luckily Connor woke up and joined us later on for another sprinkle. He mostly just played in the mud ha ha

Connor loves to stand on things. I am always finding him climbing on his toys and then just standing there. I found him putting all of our cans into the trash can. Thank goodness it didn't land on his little toes in the process.
We are always trying to find new fun things to do around here....so one day we made a fort and played with the flash light.

The kids didn't like it at all ;)
Both kids love to dip their chips in "sauce". It is the cutest thing to watch.
It takes so much concentration...


Thank goodness I have Kaylee as a little helper to go around and clean the house for me. :)
After seeing my good friend Heidi work on freezing fresh corn and remembering how much better it is compared to the canned corn...I decided to do some myself. I could barely keep up with the kids eating the corn on the cobs. Connor ate two at least and Kaylee at least 3!
As I was finishing up I heard the kids laughing in the bathroom which is never a good sign. lol so I went in to check on them and found Connor was sucking on the corn and then dropping it in the toilet and then doing it again. with Kaylee laughing hysterically. Yep- GROSS!
And then there are moments like this....
I knew it was bound to happen one of these nights. They were upstairs playing for hours until they finally crashed. The next day wasn't so fortunate. BJ went in to find the kids BUTT NAKED playing in their rooms. lol Needless to say the following night I put Kaylee to bed first and then after she was asleep I put Connor down.
