Connor walking & dancing!

Some fun videos of Connor taken in the last couple weeks. Our families have been wanting to see him in action.

Halloween!!!

So Rachel, John and I started out the day with a good old fashioned run. Well John ran the 5K and Rachel and I did the 10K. Honestly, it was torture! The weather was windy and cold and not many people ran the 10K so we were all by ourselves for awhile. We ended up seeing a few of our neighbors there, they ran the 5K with their kids. This was taken right after Rachel and I finished so we look fabulous and so happy to be done!! :)

Connor was a monkey this year for Halloween!

There he is sharing his banana with Liesel like a good little monkey!

So cute!

We had a bunch of people over for a game of kickball followed by a chili and soup potluck and then trick or treating around the neighborhood. Here's the cute little group that Connor went trick or treating with. They all looked so cute!!

Madison all ready to go with a treat in one hand and I think Connor's banana in the other. She's such a good little friend holding it for him! :)

Connor ready to go, trick or treat basket and all!

Trick or treating at the Climers'. It took him a few houses to really get the hang of it. At first he would take the candy but then give it right back. But then like any other kid he figured out to take as much candy as they would let you. :)

Trick or treating with friends.

We saw lots of friends on the way.

More friends!

Connor and mommy having fun!! :) (Matt stayed home and gave out candy.)

Clifton Gorge - John Bryan State Park

This last week we went out to Clifton Gorge in John Bryan State park to see the beautiful trees. We didn't see to many trees with colorful leaves on them in the park but the parking lot had pretty ones. (They're at the end.)

It was nice to get outside that day even if it was a little cold.

It was really pretty and amazing!

I guess Matt and I were saying 'Wow' and 'Whoa' a lot and so Connor picked it up and was saying it all the time. It was really cute!

The beautiful trees (in the parking lot!)

Pickin' Apples

We went to Tukens Orchard in Alexandria. It was a little windy, Connor wasn't sure what to think.

They had so many different varieties and tons of them.

It was nice, the trees were low enough for Connor to pick some too. Check out all those he picked! :) Just joking!

The 'aisles' of apples went on forever. I'm sure that's what Connor thought.

Connor biting into his first apple. He saw us eating the apples that way and he wanted to do it as well. He figured it out pretty quick. It was really cute!

Tons of apples! And they were really good! We definitely ate our money's worth! :)

The results of our harvest!

We tried to get a pic of Connor in a pumpkin patch but it was at the end of the day and he was tired, if you couldn't tell.

Making Pizza

We made pizza after General Conference on Sunday. Connor had fun, I think he enjoyed tasting and taking toppings off more than putting them on. :) It was cute!

Connor's 1 year old (and some family pics)

We finally decided to start a blog!!!

I know my friends here in Ohio are so excited - I finally caved under the pressure!!! :) I really don't know what I'm doing yet so bear with me. Here are some funny (and sad) pics of Connor!

The war wounds of a new walker! He fell on the concrete while playing outside. Poor kid!

Matt went in to get Connor a couple mornings ago and this was how he found him - one arm in and one out! Connor was also playfully yelling at the top of his lungs to get our attention so that whole morning Matt kept calling him 'Tarzan'.

It got a little too quiet in the kitchen one morning and this is what I found. :) Yup, he LOVES toilet paper! No idea why. Funny kid!
