Bollywood Birthday

Cassidy is living with me this summer while she does an internship in speech pathology. We often like to do theme birthdays last year was Harry Potter. This year we decided to do Bollywood. Cass and I both love and admire everything about the East Indian culture from the food to the dancing, clothes and Bollywood movies. So naturally a Bollywood party would be fantastic. A woman from Tana's ward made us food and let us borrow clothes and movies. All of my family came except Nate (you were missed). Jareds's mom and sister Amber were there as well. We had a wonderful time!It was a party to remember. Namaste!

First month with Conor George

The first month of Conors life has been a little rough but we are so grateful for him. Conor has not been a very happy baby. At first he just cried and we didn't know what to do I was so frustrated and overwhelmed and so sad because I couldn' t do anything and because I was not spending any time with Liam it was a hard adjustment. Liam never cried so Conor was a bit of a shock. We soon figured out that Conor just really missed the womb. We have to rock him,and bounce him non-stop to keep him happy and to get him to sleep. He really loves the sound of the shower and loud music so combine either of those things with intense aerobic exercise moves and we can usually get him to sleep and keep him happy. Thank goodness I have had a lot of family to help. His worse moments are at night and he is getting a lot better. He has moments now where he will be awake and actually just chill without crying. Liam has done so well. He loves his little brother and always wants to hold him. I am so grateful for prayer and for family. I love our new addition more than anything. Welcome to the world baby Conor. Here are some pictures of his first month.

Fourth of July

I think Conor new we needed a break because he was great Fourth of July weekend. Amanda and Steve came to visit us for the weekend. We went shopping, went to a carnival, attempted family pictures and set off fireworks. We had a fantastic time. God Bless America.

Fireworks

Amber and her boyfriend Sam, Aaron and Lori and their kids, and Steve and Amanda joined us for fireworks and ice cream sundays. It was a lot of fun. Liam loved the fireworks and kept asking for more even though he was a little afraid of them. Conor slept the whole time which was a big change usually his worst awake time is at night. It was so great to be able to just enjoy everything.
