Akeelah And The Bee Movie Party

We had another movie party! We invited the Powell and another family in the ward. I they're foster kids that are in the process of being adopted, so the parents have specific rules about babysitters that makes it really hard for them to go out on a date. But they can have play dates, so we invited the kids over for the movie party so the parents could go out! They also have some rules about online pictures, so I had to blackout their faces.

We watched Akeelah and the bee. Akeelah's brother is a parachute jumper, so we decorated parachutes then threw them off of our balcony.



We also played a simplified version of scrabble!

And we did a jump rope contest - who can jump rope the most in one minute?

Conner Calls Grandma

We have this flashlight that is kind of the shape of a cell phone. So many times a day Conner will "call Grandma" on it! He puts it up to his ear and says, "Hello?" and if I don't prompt him with what to say next, he gets upset! So I have to say, "Hi Grandma! How are you? I love you! Bye!" and Conner repeats it. He loves calling Grandma!

Conner helps Isaac

Conner was so cute today playing and helping Isaac.




I took a little video of Conner helping Isaac, and turned off the camera too soon, so watch part 2 to see what he does after the pacifier doesn't work!


I love watching these two boys together. Conner is such a great big brother!

Corpus Christi

This weekend we went to Corpus Christi and Port A! We drove to Corpus Saturday morning and met the Powell's at the Aquarium. What a fun aquarium they have! After the aquarium we went out to eat for lunch, then headed to Port Aransas. We were disappointed that it was super windy, so windy that most of us didn't get in the water. But we played in the sand on the beach and grilled up these yummy Kabobs I had made!


 It was windy enough that we didn't want to take our camera down by the water, so this is a picture of us heading back to the car. As you can tell by Conner's face, he had such a fun time that he didn't want to leave!


But five minute after putting him in the car he had already fallen asleep.

 That night we stayed in a hotel in Port A. In the parking lot Conner found this golf cart (a common form of transportation in Port A) and had to sit on it! 

The next morning we drove back into Corpus to go to the USS Lexington. It reminded us of the USS Midway in San Diego. We had a fun time!


Anything is a slide to this cute boy!
 

He L.O.V.E.D. being able to climb in and on things!

When he got naughty, we'd just send him to the brig!

The top deck was by far Conner's favorite! He LOVED seeing all the planes! He ran around saying "Plane! Plane! Plane!"


We even had a hard time getting this crazy off of the uncomfortable bed! 

 He's definitely a little nervous about sitting on this seat!

After the USS Lexington we picked up some lunch and took it to this amazing park, Cole Park. It had a fantastic playground! Conner loved it!



We wore him out again. This time he napped as we drove home. We had such a fun trip! We love doing little weekend getaway to see new places! We will definitely come back again when the weather is better for swimming in Port A!

Fun, Fun, Fun

Today we went to our favorite park, Landa Park. Conner had a really fun time chasing the squirrels! Here's a picture of him in action!

It was such a beautiful day that we came home and played outside more! Conner got this awesome lawnmower for Christmas and loves it! Today he was walking around mowing and then put on this blue funnel. It actually goes on his water table, but he called it a hat. It made me laugh! He is such a cutie!

My boys swinging together 💕
