the Connor chronicles

Because the last little bit I have been focusing on Blake, I thought it may be nice to see Connor.

He is now 18 months old! I can't believe it! Sometimes I feel like I just had Blake, let alone Connor! Connor is a sweetie. He is way more cuddly and clingy than Blake ever was, but he also prefers Matt to me. Kinda funny.

He loves to laugh, and is super silly. (pardon the messy house! LOL)

Connor LOVES shoes! He takes my shoes out of the closet and just leaves them all over the house. Call me crazy, but nothing is cuter than a baby in nothing but a diaper and adult shoes.

By now, Blake was talking, but Connor says only about 5 words in connor-ese... I am guessing it is because Blake talks enough for the two of them combined!

He chases Blake up and down our hall, and no one can get him to laugh like Blake. I love having two boys!

The soccer mom...

It's official. I am now a van driving, soccer mom.

Blake's first soccer game was last night. I thought it was so funny! No referees, just the coaches out on the field basically telling the kids what to do. Bunch Ball at it's finest (and cutest!) Blake had such a huge cheering section (me, Matt, Connor, Aunt Paige, Henry, Gma Christy, Gpa Drew, Gma Annette, Gpa Gary, Uncle Mike, Aunt Alyssa, Uncle Scott), that he spent the entire time running after the ball while waving. So so cute. Can't wait for more!

4 of the 6 members of his team. Blake is #4. Yup, the one with the baggy shorts. Next year: Order an Xsmall, not a Small.

Hamming it up for the camera.

"Mommy, the sun is in my eyes."

Oh, hi mommy.

Lesson # eleventy-seven... leaving a 4-year-old alone in the bathroom is a dangerous (though hilarious) idea OR if you give a 4-year-old a lip gloss.

Blake has been a little obsessed with things I am doing. Make-up, nail polish stuff like that. He still doesn't quite get that not everyone uses that stuff! The other day I told him that girls wore eye shadow and he said, "That's ok. Someday when I marry Lexi (his grandma's cousin's daughter--adopted, calm down) I will buy her lots of eyeshadow." I told him she would probably like that.

What a funny kid!

It's a MI-RA-CLE!

Holy cow! Brooke is gonna start blogging again?!?

Okay, okay, I have been a slacker. BUT, I am gonna get going with the blog again! Stay tuned!

I love my boys!

I love that Matt will just sit down on the couch and laugh and giggle with the boys. I know that I joke about actually having 3 kids (Well, I do in lots of ways! Sometimes Matt acts like a 5 year old!) but it is times like this that I am glad!

What a great dad! I love you honey!

My first.... Chocolate Chip Cookie

Words can't express the mess, or how much fun he had! He is his mother's son! We are choc-aholics!

Happy Halloween from the Nelson's

Yes, I realize I don't have a pic of Connor on here. I have to grab my mom's photo card! I will add it as soon as possible.
