Happy 4th Birthday Connor!

How can it be that Connor is already four years old?!?

I feel like it was just a year ago that I was 9+ months pregnant with him and SO ready for his arrival into this world.  How has it been 4 years???  He is such a fun, loving, extremely smart, handsome little man.  And I wouldn't change anything about it...except maybe be less of a picky eater, less stubborn, and listen to me always instead of just sometimes.  But really, I love him just the same! He loves to help me in the kitchen, especially if it involves making dough of any kind (he loves to sneak bites), he loves to draw pictures (mainly of dinos), and he has crossed over and become even more obsessed with dinos than I ever thought possible.  Again, wouldn't change a thing, except to maybe give myself a day break every now & then from having to pronounce words like Parasaurolophus, Euoplocephalus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Heterodontosaurus. 

Connor has grown by leaps and bounds this past year in learning how to write his name all by himself and becoming more self-sufficient, wanting to learn how to read, and being a wonderful big brother.

Happy Birthday to our little man.  We love you very much and brighten each and every day of our lives.  Happy 4th Birthday Connor!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Connor over the years...completely randomly placed on here:

Snowing in Texas!

Love how we have 60 degree days and then snowy days in the same week! The boys are excited at the possibility of playing in the snow. I am just looking forward to enjoying soup & hot cocoa :)

New Year Resolutions

Looking back at last year's resolution, I can't say that I completely followed it.  I did take my camera off 'auto' setting at some points, but generally resulted in putting it back on one of the auto settings or at least a semi-auto setting.  In regards to that, I will work on taking better pictures, using manual setting more, and learning how to use the editing software (Lightroom).

Another goal is to be more organized!  This is something I have attempted and really need to work on.

I would love to run one race a month.  Running  has become a want, a need, an addiction.  At least it is healthy!  Although I am still not able to run right now, I am confident I will be cleared to start training again in less than 2 weeks!  So, a January race might be a little far-fetched, but who knows!  Run for the BLING of it! was a little inspirational in this goal.

And always, continue to post pictures of the boys and update the blog as often as possible.

Although those are just goals, my resolutions for 2011 are to be more patient, more kind, more loving, and take time for myself.

May your best day last year be your worst day this year...Happy New Year!
