Our Future Olympic Diver

So the other day I turned on the Olympics to let Taylor watch gymnastics but before it came on they were finishing the diving competition. Taylor thought the flips off the platforms were pretty cool so she ran out of the room to get Connor. I didn't mind because at the time I thought, "What harm could watching the Olympics bring?" Anyway, I guess Connor thought it looked fun and easy because when he got into the bath that night he decided he would climb on the side of the tub and give it a try. As you can see it didn't work as planed and I think he learned his lesson. Connor was OK after his Olympic dive. His cheek was a little swollen and bruised which is healing quit well, but I have decided that he is not allowed to watch the gymnastic in fear of what he might try.

Happy Birthday Connor

We can't believe that our Con-man just turned three, He is growing up way too fast. We are so proud of him. He has always been a smart kid and picked up on things very early; like walking , talking , potty training and dressing himself. But he still has grown up so much, especially since he found out he was going to be a big brother(which he talks about every day). We couldn't ask for a more sweet loving little boy and brother. We love you Connor Happy Birthday

Connor loves action heroes so he decided he wanted a super hero birthday party.

Connor had to lick all the action figures after he took them off the cake, and Taylor... I guess she didn't want her picture taken because she was in a good mood.

We were lucky to have Grammy and Ponk come down for a little birthday party.
The kids love them and always have fun when they see them. Thank you, Mom and Dad.

The one thing Connor insisted on having at his party was a pinata and he loved it.

This is the bumble bee transformer Taylor gave Connor.

Connor loves army guys, in fact he only likes wearing his army-guy shorts(that's what he calls them). So Grandma and Grandpa gave him this fun army-guy costume which he loves. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Hendrickson.

Connor loves to play swords with Curtis and has wanted this light saber ever since he went to his cousins' house.

This is the cake Taylor made by herself for Connor.
