Corbin is Turning 2 on September 4th!

He would live in the bounce house if he could! He loves it!







I just love this one! Can't believe he didn't move!



He said he was 2, but could only get one finger held up! Oh well, we know what he meant!


He is checking out his new John Deere boots that he got from his Uncle Dale for his birthday and trying to find "money" in his pockets!

We had a Sesame Street birthday party this year!

He loves all of his characters!

Don't you just love how proud his is, then he is thinking about licking the cake!


Well, it has been a little busy around the Conner household! We are now preparing for Kierstin to come join our family next week and Corbin's birthday has defintely taken over. We found out last week at the doctor that Kierstin has decided that she wants to be sitting up just like everyone else, therefore, causing her to be in the breech position. The doctor is going to give her until Friday to turn around the right way, or else we will be having her next week. Therefore, we are trying to get all of the finishing touches on everything and prepare for our little girl's arrival. For the most part we are ready, but as a mom I don't think you ever feel totally prepared!

As for Corbin, he is growing up soooo fast. He had so much fun at his birthday party this past weekend and enjoyed playing with all of the other kids. He received some wonderful gifts and had a lot of fun with his family and friends! He did receive his "bike" that he just knew his Auntie Meg and Uncle Darren (arren) were going to get him. He also got a horsee from his Pa and Grammy which he loves as well. Again he just had a blast with his Sesame Street themed party.

As for Brent and I we are truly enjoying our son at this point. He is definitely the highlight of our life and we are looking forward to seeing how he interacts with "sissy" because Corbin claims he is ready for her to be "here, now." I hope he feels that way once she is here!

Summer Vacations!

On the way home from St. Louis with JIMMY!

Dillon and Corbin both loved the carousel! They rode it tons!


Corbin was in love with the horses! He wanted to keep going back to see them.

Grant's farm was a lot of fun!


We were able to see elephants!

We could have fed the goats, but Corbin would not get that close!

Indianapolis Zoo looking at the Dolphins after the show.

This could be Corbin's future girlfriend because he loves her!

Fun times at the zoo with the Lee family!


Things have been very busy this summer! You would think me being off of work would make life a little smoother, but no. It seems that no matter if I am working or not we can always keep busy. Corbin continues to grow like a weed. He is getting taller and taller everyday! My little boy is growing up. He is talking so much and loves to play outside. I don't know what we are going to do this winter because he is very difficult to trap inside on these HOT days!

As for the family, Kierstin is due in 5 weeks, Brent is in search for a job, and I am just trying to make it through this HOT summer. Currently, it looks as though I am going to be staying at home for a year with the kids in hopes that next year I will find a teaching job. I am selling Lia Sophia (a line of jewelry), which I am really enjoying doing. I have been doing this since May and it is going pretty well, so if anyone is interested please feel free to contact me, my website is www.liasophia.com/heatherconner1

This summer we were not able to take a BIG vacation due to my pregnancy, but we were able to do some fun stuff. We went to the Indianapolis Zoo with the Lee Family and went to St. Louis with my family (Darren, Megan, Dillon, Mom, and Dad). We had a lot of fun, but it was definitely tiring for Kierstin and I. We did a lot of walking in the heat which seemed to wipe me out! We went to Grant's Farm and the St. Louis Zoo. We were supposed to go to the Cardinals baseball game, but the rain kind of put a damper on that, so we just sent the guys and us girls and boys went shopping instead! We had FUN though and it was a very enjoyable weekend.

Corbin also met his new best friend, JIMMY! At the St. Louis Zoo we built our first "Build a Bear" and he is in love with him. He runs and walks with Corbin and Corbin thinks he is hilarious. We even have to take him with us and make sure that he wears his "belt" (seat belt) in the car. He shares his dinner with him and everything. It is so funny!
