8 Months + Zoo Day

A little late but yesterday I took Chloe's 8 Month photo!!! I didn't trust her with the actual piece of paper.. so it's taped to the couch:)

Next we went to the zoo!!!! Connor loves having the zoo passes!! We went with cousins...Caleb, Gideon and Cori!! It was a fun day.
Chloe missed her afternoon nap.. she couldn't miss anything!

Kangaroo!!

Komodo Dragon... and after taking Connor to go see "How to train a dragon" on Tuesday, he loved seeing the Dragon!!

Easter Weekend

I have to catch up a little.... Monday morning I came down with Tonsillitis.. something I get once a year so... it's horrible but I try to get meds asap. So I am on the down slide now... so I can catch up on some blogs now.... Easter was really nice this year... The boys woke up to their joint basket... I didn't do too much... the toy story 2 movie satisfied Connor!!! He loves Toy Story so much right now.. we are excited for Toy Story 3 to come out this June!! Kiel surprised me with a beautiful diamond ring... it is in the shape of a bow... super cute and really a shock. He normally isn't a romantic but I always say he has his moments!! Anyways, we had a great breakfast with Marc and Mikia and watched conference... Then after the afternoon conference we had more family come over and had a great lunch and did an Easter egg hunt for the kids. It was a great day and Conference was wonderful!!

All Kiel said he wanted was the classic chocolate bunnies!!

Happy Easter.... Love Chloe!!

Don't kill the flowers

Spring is here!!! ....... well.... it's been here for awhile now... well let's just say it didn't go far. Arizona has 2 seasons...beautiful.. and I want to die. Right now fortunately it's beautiful so I decided to switch out the flowers in my pots this weekend. Not that the ones that were in them were dead they were just.... being lazy. So I refreshed them! The weather is just wonderful. Connor and I find ourselves outside all day long and love it. Anyways. Here are some of beeeeeeautiful flowers!

Easter Egg Hunt

Every year the ladies in the ward put together an Easter egg hunt for the kids instead of our traditional "park day" on Friday mornings. Plus the kids in our city don't have school so there are always a ton of kids, which makes it so much fun!Before the madness started I had to wrangle Connor to sit and take a picture! It's torture to just sit and look at all those eggs!!
Miss Chloe in the cutest white outfit provided by Great Grandma Miller!!! Super cute!

And he's off... He could barely sit still!

He asked if he could pick this one up because it was pink.. (a Girl's egg, I guess)

"Cheese!!"

He's still understanding that there is candy in the eggs.. so each time he would open an egg and see candy he would get super excited and do his crazy deep laugh!!

Connor and his older lady friends!! They helped to make sure he didn't inhale the wrapper as well as the candy!!

A Good Day

There were too many cute things that happened to not write about it.

*Connor and I went to run a few errands this morning and Buzz wanted to come to, of course. So Connor made sure I buckled him since Chloe didn't come... on top of that he made sure I gave Buzz a toy to play with for the ride... so sweet.

*While stopped at a light we saw a girl riding her bike in a bikini... when Connor saw her he stopped and said, "Mommy, Nakie! Nakie! Nakie!!!" I had to say something to stop him.. I answered him, "Yes, Connor... Almost!" Yes, it was in the 80's today!!! Hooray for Arizona.

*I had to drop off some products to a lady in my ward and while crossing the street to her house I saw on the ground a waded up bill... I thought I saw a $10 but when I opened it up it was a $100!!! I looked around and saw no one to ask... and the lady in my ward wasn't home... so I claimed it. Nice....

*Last one.... I was sitting at my table making Easter Day cards when Connor Waddles in from outside... his shorts around his ankles... I immediately said, "Connor you need to go potty?" And this is what he said, "No Mommy, I pee pee on grass!!!!" What??? Yes my son pulled his pants down, squatted and peed on our grass. Just like our Dog. Nice, Thanks Petey!

Like I said... a Good day.. Ha.

Baseball Starts!

Saturday Connor started his 2 year old baseball lessons. I don't know if I would have signed up, but thanks to our great friends the Tuckers I was convinced knowing they were going to do it too! Connor and his friend Logan had a lot of fun.... listening occasionally to the coach.. they were taught fielding... throwing... running the bases.. and batting... and when I say taught.. I mean they just went for it when their own special flair! Connor had fun and he says he Likes baseball. Throwing...
Connor's favorite, seeing how many balls he can carry at one time. He's a pro.

The coach would put these cones on the tee stand, fill them with balls and the kids whacked them with the bats. Connor loved seeing all the balls go flying!

Bating!!

Las Vegas Trip

Yesterday Connor, Chloe and I returned home from a week's trip to Las Vegas. We had a great time all week playing with Monte and Hayley and their 3 little ones... plus Grandma and Grandpa Miller... Plus AUNT Erin!! We had a blast going to the park everyday and being goofy!
