Connor's Birthday Weekend!

We had such a great weekend!! Busy, busy, busy...but great! On Friday Connor turned 3(sniff, sniff). I know I sound like a broken record everytime I say this but I just can't believe how fast the time goes by, you know. Friday was also the Kokopelli Kids Trail race that Elijah and Connor competed in. This was Elijah's second time racing but Connor's first. They race in the pre-school- kindergarden age group and run a distance of 0.5 miles. It's a lot of fun for them, and with the help of Grandpa, I was able to get some great shots!!






Waiting at the start.


The gun goes off and Elijah promply pushes his little brother out of the way- hmmm


Elijah takes the lead....for a short time. :)




Wes said that half way thru the race Connor was asking for a piggy-back.


Go Connor!!


Elijah kickin' it in- Go Elijah!!


What a greeat race recovery snack- cookies and water.


We had Connor's B-day dinner/Race celebration at Fargos.




What a great way to end a great day- hot fudge sundae's- yum!!

The next day we celebrated Connor's third birthday. Our original plan was to have the party at Fox Run Park, but because the weather has been so hit-and-miss we played it safe and had it at our house.






Connor got a cool new bike.


Look out big brother...I'm right behind ya!


Uncle Matt got him this great soccer net which was a hit with all the kids!











Even the "big kids" had fun kickin' around the ball!



And finally it was cake time. Connor's birthday theme was bugs, so I made lady bug, butterfly, dragon fly and bee cakes. They sure were tasty!!










WOW, what an eventful day!!


And of course Sunday was mothers day. We had my family over to BBQ kabobs and just relax.






I am truly blessed!!
