We Are Blogging!

Hey Everyone-
We have created a blog for everyone's enjoyment and to give Kelli something to do all day when all Connor wants to do is eat! We have posted pictures from past adventures and photo shoots we hope everyone will enjoy. To give an update to all who don't know, Connor is almost 9 months and is full of energy. We have so much fun as a little family and we love it when we can all be together. All the grandparents are very proud and try to get up to see us often. (We all know who they really come to see, but we love it!) Connor is sitting, sipping from a straw, eating solids, biting, growling, and giggling! He has four teeth and knows how to use them! Ouch Charlie! He is everything to us and we are so blessed to have a healthy, happy boy like him!

Patrick is still working for Utah County Sheriff's Office at the jail and he still likes it. He says it is a lot like kidnergarten, but hey, he gets paid to watch movies and shoot the breeze, so how do you beat that? Besides, he gets to lock them down when they are naughty, and that is better than giving time outs to kids! He is also running on the Springville City Ambulance and is almost trained to be a real EMT. He keeps pretty busy and is a very hard worker, when it's not a home job! Meanwhile, our yard sits and waits for us to plant, but that's what you get when life is so busy. He's a great Dad and definitely has fun with his little buddy!

Kelli is still working at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and is just surviving. I don't love the job, but I love the people I work with enough, and there are plenty of benefits to working in a hospital. They want me to scrub in on C-Sections and I'm not quite sure about how long it would take for me to hit the floor in a sterile environment, but know that it would happen. So until it is a definite requirement, we will just keep going with what I'm good at! I am constantly trying to keep up with Connor's eating habits and Lulu's desire for attention. I get to get out once a month and play Bunco with the girls. It's a nice release unless it is your turn to host, then you need to whip out the Xanex! Trust me, it's stressful! However, it is worth the fun times and prizes! Besides that, there isn't a whole lot that's exciting and new!

Since Connor came into our lives, we have tried to still get out and see the small world that surrounds you when you are traveling with a baby. We went to Mesquite for our Anniversary last April where Connor experienced a sensory overload with all the lights and noises! We saw ducks and geese with goslings at the Casablanca and stayed in the Oasis. Everyone commented on how Connor looked like a little man and his bright blue eyes! There were a lot of grandparents who suddenly missed their grandchildren. Kelli got her first-ever massage, and now wonders where they have been all her life! AWESOME! We all went mini-golfing even though it was the fastest game ever due to Connor's crying and screaming to get out of the Nevada heat and get something to eat! We went to the movie "21" with friends that Patrick works with. That was really good but a bit ironic to be in Mesquite watching a movie about tricking casinos out of money! Anyways, it was fun and entertaining! We also go to see grandparents and family a lot! We have trips to rodeos, the zoo, and Lagoon planned for the summer! We will see how swimming goes with Connor's huge fear of baths! We will try to keep everyone updated and hopefully blogging will be a good way to stay in touch! Thanks for visiting!
