My beautiful Connor turned 7 today! That gives me one year to completely prepare him to be baptized...am I really up for that challenge? Connor's first request upon rising this morning was, "Mommy, can I hold Maya?" This big brother loves to hold his baby sister...he has always loved holding the babies!
His breakfast request was eggs and toast...so he had a "King" breakfast--as he would call it! He was so tender all day long--he hung out by my side a lot of the time and constantly said, "I love you Mommy!" He was VERY excited to open his presents...we made it a lunch time activity so he could PLAY!!! I couldn't resist at one point, and I grabbed his beautiful face with my hands and squealed with pure joy and excitement as I said, "It's your Birthday!!!" He gave me the tightest hug, a kiss, and jumped up into my arms while saying...yes, you guessed it..."I love you Mommy!";being that he comes to my shoulder in height, I was thrown off balance, but I still held my baby boy!
Our all wise Connor, upon the chair, there is!
It took three attempts to blow all 7 candles out!
Mr. Aiden, with his charming eyes is Connor's best buddy--they proclaim it often.
Had to show the Momma and babe!
Of course, you can see from Connor's smile that he is not a fan of showing his teeth--that's fine with me, it shows his quiet, thoughtful, and serious nature. I admire Connor's innate ability to ponder and love!
His favorite pass time activity is Lego's! I believe he has admired his Daddy and Grandpa as they have built and fixed things his entire life. He sure can create masterpieces from the depths of his own imagination--can we say future architect or engineer?
Couldn't resist a little Toy Story 3 action!
Miss Lydia walked around with Connor's toys, proclaiming, "Cool!" She then would curl up on the couch with one beside her, like a stuffed animal, and pretend to nap! One thing was certain, they were all "cool"!
At the end of the day, Liddy had to show off her "favorite food"--oranges--and her wild head band! She was wearing matching pants!
And the best buddies hugged in best buddy fashion with the matching pajamas that Aunt Sara and her family got them for their birthdays! Connor is a light to me--he gives me strength with his "I love yous". I love you dear boy! Happy Birthday!

Oh, how exciting! Did Connor actually have to wait until his Birthday to get his PJs? It really is worth the wait sometimes, once you get to hear, "Oh, those are just like mine!!!" from the younger brother. I had a dream last night, that Aiden and Connor were taller than us!
There really is something amazing about Connor. I love that boy. I love all of your sweet boys; you're a good mommy for them.
That is so funny...that is exactly what Aiden said when Connor opened the gift!
Happy birthday! Did you know we have boys just 5 days apart? And that year to baptism goes so fast, Haylee turned 8 last month and I am so stressed thinking maybe I haven't prepared her enough!
