Halloween Fun, etc.

Well we finally made it to a second post. Yeah! So I guess we had better do a little catching up. First, Conner is now 1 year old. Can you believe it? We had so much fun on his birthday. Second Halloween has come and gone. We took Conner trick-or-treating at the local mall. He refused to walk. He wanted to be carried the whole time but it was still a lot of fun. Third, we finally have a new president which I am sure you all know but it is still a historical event and pretty exciting. So basically that is about it so just look at the pictures and you will be all caught up as to what is happening around here.

Conner really liked the GIANT pumpkins but he had to settle for a small one.









The pumpkin patch that we went to had all kinds of fun things to do. They had farm animals to pet, a maze, hayride, and lots of other things.



























We went to a Halloween party and were in charge of desserts. So we made a bleeding cake and cupcake brains. They were gruesomely good.


























Conner went as a "Rocker" for Halloween. I couldn't get a picture of him carrying his guitar but it was still cute. We carved pumpkins Halloween night (a little late) and let Conner try and gut his own pumpkin.

These last pictures are of Conner's birthday party. Gayland, Cindy, Jordon, Dallas, Buddy (the dog), Cidnee and Payeton all came to celebrate with us. We had such a good time and I think Conner did too. Once he got into the cake he was loving life. Don't you miss the days when you could eat like a slob and nobody cared?

Remember when life gets you down grin and bare it!

So here it is everyone, our first blog. Now don't count on me to be witty like some people or a consistent "blogger" like others, all you can hope for is a semi-up-to-date blog that at least lets you know what is going on in our lives.

First, I have to vent a little of my frustrations. When Conner first started getting teeth I was so excited. I was diligent in recording each day that his little teeth popped through his swollen gums and even made little diagrams in his book to indicate which tooth had come through. Blast all those efforts because now all he seems to be able to do with his cute little white teeth is BITE! That's right BITE! Have you ever watched Jeff Foxworthy when he
talks about the beaver biting a man's nipple "O -F- F, off" well I fear the day that his stand up routine will soon consist of the same story only it will be "Conner Edwards bit his mother's finger O-F-F, off."
I guess I can't be too upset for as my family will remember we were notorious biters but how do you teach a child not to bite when you bite him back or tell him no and he laughs. It has now become quite the game in our home and no one is exempt from the wrath of Conner. Our poor dog I fear is going to lose her tail any day now. However, on the plus side we do have our own personal document, trash, or just about everything shredder. For all your shredding needs please call Tiny Teeth now operating 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

I guess that is it really except, go Team USA and if anyone has any suggestions for our little problem please, PLEASE let us know. Thanks.
