Lil' Marky's Birthday Party!

Lil' Marky's 3rd Birthday party started with a bang in the fun house. That's Connor on the left, Chance and Mommy Katrina on the right and Angie with Benson in the back.

Connor gives me a quick smile before the jump house gets bouncy!

Lil' Marky gives the camera a wave before the pinata comes out.

Callen stops to strike a pose.

Connor in the Cowboys jersey and Benson in the Aggies jersey quickly become great friends.

Benson turns 1

Benson's animal theme first birthday party was a hit. All the kids came out to play!

Daddy Jeremy believe that it has been a year already. He is jabbering and walking like crazy.

Ray, Angie and Little Callen watch as Benson opens his gifts.

Daddy and Connor watch Benson as he dives into his cake. Connor was patient for about 30 seconds before crying for cake.

Connor, Hayden and Lil Marky play with the bubbles! Boys will be boys; all of them ended

up sticky and dirty in about 10 minutes.

Baby Chance looks on as the big boys play!

Connor is on the attack for the bubbles!

Get'em!

Since we are going to be moving soon, we decided to explore downtown Thorndale, Texas. You guessed it, one of the only to places to eat was the Downtown Cafe. We had burgers and fried pork chops. This is where Connor met his first town mascot - the Bulldog!

I think Connor likes him!

First Day Of School

Connor started 'school' - a 2 day program at the
Georegtow First Baptist Church.

He and Oakley eased their way into the classroom with their 10 other classmates and started to play with puzzles and the play kitchen (their favorite).

Yes there were tears the first 3 weeks of class, but now the boys love it!

Paint & Cabinets

Things are going so fast with our new house. This is a view of the kitchen.

They just finished the fireplace in the living room.

The game room will soon be full of Connor's toys! Daddy's not too excited to loose his room to Connor's toys! If things keep going smooth we should be in by the end of September.

Shriber Family Reunion

Last Saturday Connor and Mommy went to the family reunion in Cameron.

Connor finally warmed up and tried to out run 2nd cousin Izy

This his face when we had to leave. I guess he really likes playing with his extended family.

Blackmail

You know those pictures that your mom pulls out to use for blackmail and shows them to your friends. Well, we now have one for Connor and Oakley.

Papa Bo and Mimi brought Oakley over for dinner and we decided to knock out 2 baths at one time.

Here is Oakley trying out Connor's bed and Connor trying to break in.

A little rough housing with Papa Bo before bedtime.

I guess no rain has one advantage - fast building!

This is the view facing the front door. The prep for the stucco is going up.

This is our bedroom with the insulation in and sheet rock waiting to be installed.

This is a view of our fireplace and media center in the living room.

Not my baby

The whole family went to Uncle Jeremy's to have a play date with Benson. Unfortunately Benson did all the playing and Connor did all the napping. Connor woke up just as Benson fell asleep. Maybe next time they can actually play together.

Will Travel

Connor spends most of his days playing with his cousins Scarlett and Oakley. By the time he loads up Papa Bo's truck for the ride home he usually makes it less than a mile from Aunt Kristen's and he is out like a light. This is how he arrive home after a fun play day!!!
