St George Christmas- Conner Style

Let's face it Lucy was the biggest highlight for most this Christmas..you can't help it when she is just so cute and people don't get to see her too often. Watching her with Krew and Carly were so hilarious! For more video's and blogs of Lucy's Christmas check out http://www.lotts-of-love.blogspot.com/.

For Christmas this year dad fly all the kids to St George to spend Christmas together and BONUS with Unlce Mike and Aunt Teresa!!! It really added to everything to get to hear about Mikes death experience and miraculous recovery and to have them tell us about their trip to the holy lands. We loved getting to stay at their geougous home and to get the yummy food Teresa shared with us!!

What a great time we had! Tons of snacks, great food, movies, games, presents, and relaxation!

Each of the kids were in charge of a meal or activity during the visit. As a gift to dad we wanted to plan and pay for an event while we were together. So the Lotts did Christmas Eve with Taco's and root beer then the Christmas story, popcorn and Scrooge. The Hayes family did a great chicken pasta meal and brought catch phrase which is always a hit! The Hernandez family took care of Christmas morning and what an awesome job! Kimmie made monkey bread and did a fun trivia game to open our stocking stuffers! Kaily and Scottee did the best game though with Chocolate milk pong..everyone loved it and they played the whole trip.

We did a white elephant exchange with the Southwicks and that was so funny watching people steal gifts from Kailey. Before that the Conner Clan did stocking stuffers for eachother with a $5 limit. It was so fun to see what everyone came up with for eachother.

We made dad some new brag-about-my-kids shirts which we know he will wear all the time everywhere he goes :) We also did updated scrapbook pages for his album. (That's what he asks for all the time!)

THANKS DAD FOR A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!! WE WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Halloween 09

I was happy to find another horny devil to team up with for some ribs and dancing on Halloween

Howdy Y'all

Dad came home for the weekend to take us to the RODEO! WHoop! For those of you who dont know, we grew up in Texas where we would go to the rodeo every year, so this was a big treat! We love family time!
Plus we got to enjoy the Puyallup fair, complete with rides and of course yummy fair food!

Our family loves a theme! Rockin the cowboy gear...

Chris really enjoyed the bull riding...

Dad loves him some dance time...

Thanks dad, cant wait to go again next year... hopefully the Lotts will be able to join us (hint hint...)

What a GREAT birthday!!

The treats included steak & congs, fresh strawberry pie and this trip to Cold Stone. The basketball tournament was intense with the gilr's champion, Melissa, sweeping the boy's rep Scottee (no kidding!!)! Kailey won the go-cart competition and Chris took the batting crown. I came from behind to beat Kailey in the air hockey tournament, but she wouldn't allow any pics.

Together again... for a quick minute

Suprise Party!!!

I threw a suprise party at dad's house and there was face painting and food and a hypnotist and a lot of fun stuff(:

Pool Time

Fun at the pool at 9:00 at night!

The Obsession

Any of you that have spoken with Kailey in the recent months know that she is OBSESSED with this hammock... in fact, she has even been working (imagine a teenager doing that!) to earn money for it. Finally yesterday it arrived!



She came to my house for a sleepover and of course she brought her hammock... "Im going to take it everywhere," she says
