Jumping crazy

Connor's Favorite thing is his Jumpy seat - he could spend hours in it - He has not reached the weight limit although I am not so sure about the safety limit. I also included some photos of Brian and his dad and brother playing golf at the Honor's - they treated Doug for his birthday -they had beautiful weather and the pictures are gorgeous> and the picture of Connor and the Mowery boys over for dinner was too cute not to post! Lara had a much better picture than I did

Lazy Hazy Crazy Summer

July and August have been busy months soaking up the last of summer. Brian and I recently celebrated our 6 year anniversary - crazy! Connor is now a little over 8 months old, He has 2 teeth and is getting more I think (classic teething signs are strong) He is not crawling yet -but is extremely close, and moble nonetheless, I recently caught him going towards an outlet (we aren't quite babyproof yet) and grabbed his hand and told him No - he turned around and laughed at me only to do it again and see my reaction -I think I'm in trouble. He is also becoming more independant in feeding himself -making meal times much more fun, although we are still struggling a little with the sippy cup. He Loves Mickey Mouse and is so precious whenever the "hot dog" song comes on and he starts to dance. These last few weeks we have been swimming a lot -Connor loves the water, and have had several friends over for dinner. A group of my good friends from high school came over one night, the McDowell's and Waughs and their precious crazy kids who are shirtless due to the water gun fights, and the Addicks and Mowery's with their kids -unfortunately with 4 moving babies i did not get a great shot. We also spent a great morning with the McDowells at the fruit and berry patch picking lots of great fruit. It has been a great summer!

Welcome baby Carter

Our best friends Mandy and Brian Riley and their precious daughter Madison recently welcomed the newest member of their family. Carter Elis was born June 30th, at 37 weeks weighing 8.5lbs and 21 inches long. We were able to stop on the way back from the beach to meet him. He is precious - We love you Carter! Also pictured is Connor with Griffin Moore who is growing so fast - thanks for letting us spend the night Tom & Jenny

Sandestin

We were able to spend a wonderful week at the Sandestin Beach resort with CC, Popa C and Uncles Ryan, Brett and Patrick. Brian Connor and I first stopped on the way down in Huntsville to See my cousin Natalie and Dad's new Connor's -Connor loved the new restuarant and sleeping in a hotel for the night.The rest of the week was great weather, great meals out and cooked in - especially the night the kids cooked for Cc & Popa C! We enjoyed fireworks on the 4th at Baytowne Wharf, a great dinner in Seaside one night, celebrated my birthday, and had a great time on the beach and pool. Connor is enjoying the water so much, he gets so excited as soon as he hears the waves and loves the pool. Thank you CC and Popa C for a great trip!

Congratulations Darren and Megan!

On June 28 Brian's younger brother Darren married Megan Amburn. The wedding was beautiful, of course the bride stunning in a strapless, sweetheart lace gown, the flowers, cake (compliments of Irene -Darren and Brian's grandmother)the reception - everything went wonderfully and we are so glad to welcome Megan into our family. Unfortunately I did not get any good pictures at the reception, or during the wedding because Brian and I where both in it - but here are a few from Gettysvue the night before at the rehearsal dinner and before going down the aisle.

Happy Father's Day

Brian was actually out of town for his first father's day at the International Rotary Convention in LA with our good friend Jonathon Johnson -I have included a few pics from their trip - so we celebrated fathers day a little late, but celebrated nonetheless with a great afternoon at the pool and a relaxing night of grilling out steaks. Connor and I were able to celebrate with Popa C on father's day and we all were able to celebrate with Brian's family before he left for LA. Happy First Father's Day Dad -we love you!

The Greenbriar

Last weekend Brian and I took our first trip away from Connor and went to the Greenbriar in West Virginia. We had a great time- it is a beautiful resort with wonderful rooms, fantastic food and tons to do. Brian enjoyed golf one morning while I took a cooking class, we spent the afternoon playing tennis and enjoying the beautiful infinity pool -those are so cool - and even enjoyed bowling! The Greenbriar is also home to Project Greek isle -for thirty years housed a secret bunker intended for congress to escape too in the event of a nuclear threat - it is no longer actively used and so we were able to tour it - crazy that for 30 years people vacationed on top of a secret government bunker and never knew it! We had a great time, and survived the first trip away from little man -who enjoyed a weekend of being spoiled at CC and Popa C's
