Connor's Day

Connor turned four on August 27, two days after Bradley started school. It was a day filled with lots of excitement!
We always do a big birthday breakfast, and I intended to get up early, but it didn't work out. I stayed up late getting everything ready, and the kids were up a lot during the night.
Anyway, so Connor had to wait awhile upstairs while I got his birthday breakfast ready. This is what ended up happening. He was sick of waiting. I am such a mean mom!He did get what he wanted for breakfast though. Wes has got the boys hooked on coffee cake. It's one of his favorite breakfasts, and that's what Connor requested. Here he is blowing out the candles. He started before I could get around to take a picture from the front.
All he asked for was a big bluish-greenish ball. (I think that's because Bradley got one for his birthday this year, and Connor always wants to be like his big brother!)He also got a cool Toy Story shirt which is too big, but he still likes it.And, Aunt Cristi came over with Zack for lunch and brought some fun presents!
Maybe we overdo birthdays at our house . . . we blow out candles at pretty much every meal, and we let the birthday person pick what they want to eat for each meal. Connor requested none other than the most deliciously appetizing macaroni and cheese for his birthday lunch! Here he is blowing out the candles in his banana. Aren't I creative?? :)


For dinner Connor wanted to go to Arctic Circle. It's one of our favorite restaurants - not just for the food, but they have great customer service! My parents and sister met us there, and it was a lot of fun!
Here is Halley showing off her gorgeous smile!
The boys really enjoyed the play place. Here is Connor running to give Bradley a hug because he bonked his head.
And here are the two of them giving "brother hugs."



And here they are falling down all over each other!
I really appreciate my family coming out that night. I wasn't sure I would have been able to handle the three kids at Arctic Circle by myself.
We actually went home and did birthday cake and presents, but my energy is gone for the night so I'll do a separate post about that! Happy Birthday Connor!!!
