After Connors birthday party, I rode home with Mom, Dad and Brian to Boise to spend a week. We drove home after meeting and the birthday potluck Sunday (Connor's actual birthday). Had a nice time in Boise as usual and it was so nice to not have to do the 8 hr drive by myself. I flew into Wenatchee a week later and Nancy got me back to Omak... All worked out very well :-)
The cake I made for the Birthday folks.. and to celebrate Allison (a new baby in our field) being born :-)
Before we sang...
Connor was more interested in the cake the blowing out the candle :-)... not a surprise!
Nothing like introducing sugar all at once :-) cake 2 days in a row!!
By this time... he knew what to do!.. (I have to add a note: about 2 days later, Connors BM was a crazy neon green.... freaked us all out a little at first, until we remembered the color of his birthday cakes.. sorry if that was TMI... but I don't want to forget what food color does to babies!)
Connor and I after he enjoyed his second birthay cake :-) we were headed to the bathroom for a bath to clean him up before we made the long drive to Boise..
We stopped at a McDonalds for dinner.. and so Connor could play.. He of course LOVED the wheel!! He was fascinated with the fact that it was making the "wings" behind it spin too.. such a mini engineer! :-)
He also enjoyed riding the slide.. he did it all by himself :-)
Later in the week Connor, me and GG (his Great Grandma) went to a park and played for a while. It was so nice to have some sunshine. Connors favorite parts were the slides, steering wheel, and swings...
swinging at the park..
We had gone to the funeral of Nany (Dora Rogers) the mother of my moms long time friend Lori.. and all of the sisters who have "adopted" us all into the family.. The sisters who had to fly home came through Boise, and we all went out to dinner at Ono's (a Hawaiian resturant in town). This is the crazy bunch of us :-) My mom will be celebrating her 50th on the 20th of March, so the cake was for her, but she shared with Connor since his was so recent :-)
Grandpa keeping Connor entertained at dinner
After dinner... always so nice to get together with "Family"
Connor examining Uncle Brians wheels :-) mostly just an excuse for us to be outside where there was some sunshine :-)
Brian and Connor kicking his truck around, He thought it was hilarous :-)
Playing in the rocks, he was filing the truck up then moving them to the sidwalk, int he meantime trying to sneak one into his mouth :-) But I was quicker than him...
Had a nice time in Boise! We're planning to go back in May for a womens show, the parade of homes and to see my family from Colorado who I've not seen in a while, so i'm looking forward to May. Until then we don't have any plans to be out of town, other than a possible trip to Seattle to help my brother move. I should have Connors 1 year photos up soon :-)
