Connor's Birthday party!

Connor had a wonderful birthday party on the Saturday after he turned 1.

We were so blessed to have my mom here and have so many people come to care about Connor!

I made him a little onesie that said "Connor is 1" :)

He got his first car for his birthday! :)  He loves that thing!  Especially the horn that beeps... mom and dad are NOT loving that part so much... 

He has so many expressions!!  He's definitely turned into a little kid... no more baby :(
 I made the hat to go with the shirt, knowing that it wasn't going to be a hit with Connor... :) hahaha at least he didn't rip it off!  He's so cute! :)

Family photo!  Connor was too concerned with the hat... 

I got a pull string pinata for the kids... it was really cool!  Instead of hitting it with a stick each person pulls a string and one of the strings is the 'linch pin' and lets the bottom drop out!  They didn't really understand but they could participate! :)

Yeah candy!!! :)  The boys/men def appreciated this more than the kids... 

I made Connor a monkey cake!!! :)


He was a little apprehensive at everyone looking at him...

But then he got some cake from the candle and he was fine.

He kept stabbing the monkey... just makin sure it's dead... :)

Brennan REALLY wanted his turn at the cake! :) hahaha it was so cute!  Can't wait till his first birthday!!! That kids gonna be a mess! :)

 Connor was like 'eeww I'm dirty!!!!' :) sigh...

Yeah he was having fun :)

'ok mom I'm done now...' :)

Time to put that kid in the SINK!  :)  We washed him off and re-dressed him.

Then we got to open presents!!  People were SOOO generous!!!

Connor's attention span lasted longer than I thought it would!

Jimmy gave Connor his first Bible and wrote a special message in the front!  It was very nice!

So all in all, the party was great!!!  We had about 23 people there and in our little place... it was packed! :)  Connor had a good time and slept like a LOG that night, which was a blessing for us! :)
