Happy Birthday Celebration

Today was a day of celebrating. Before I left for work this morning, I filled Conner's room with Mylar balloons of all kinds while he was still asleep. I called home later to have Steve wake him up. He saw the balloons on the ceiling and said "WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?"   Then, Conner and Steve stopped by the donut bank on the way to school to buy donut holes for his class. His classmates made him birthday cards and gave to him. After work/ school, Steve and I gave him his Birthday gift, a big boy bike. Conner got to chose rather he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese or Bowling and he chose bowling. So, we went to ARC lanes for dinner and bowling. Then, off to Sonic for Birthday Ice cream. What a full but great day of celebrating with a special 3 year old.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

He had to wait inside for his gift.

Wow, he spotted it on the patio!

He jumped right on with no fear!

And off he went!

He had to go to the neighbors house down the street to show them his new bike!

We also bought a water bottle that snaps on the bike. A must have feature for a energetic boy.

Future Lance Armstrong! (MINUS the steroid abuse!)

Bowling shoes

Cute

He loves to bowl!!!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Conner

We celebrated Conner's 3rd Birthday  with Family Saturday at Audubon State Park with a camping themed party at Conner's request. The boy loves camping and that is how he wanted to celebrate with everyone.

We had dinner and cake and played pin the racoon or bear on the tent and had a pinatia.

It was unfortunately 90 degrees Saturday but Conner didn't seem to mind.

He loved spending the day with his family!

Happy Birthday Conner!

Goodbye Ladybugs

Friday was Conner's last day in the Ladybug toddler room at daycare. He is now in the multi-age room "Starlight" with his new teacher Ms. Andrea. He has been visiting that room for a couple of weeks in the mornings and really likes it. His friend, Henry, moved to that room a month ago and now they are back together. Isabelle moved to the room across the hall a month ago, (which went better than Steve and I and Isabelle's mom anticipated)  so Conner gets to see her again. All multi age rooms play together on one playground so he gets to play with all of his Ladybug friends that have moved up.

Friday, we took ice cream cake to celebrate his Birthday and his last day as a Ladybug.

His Ladybug teachers, Ms. Diana and Ms. Carolyn have done such a wonderful job with Conner. They will always hold a special place in our hearts. They have taught him so much that we will always be thankful. They are two of the best teachers Deaconess has. Thanks Ladies.
