HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR
I thought before you look at the pictures I would say a few things about connor. Last August 2nd was a hard day for all of us. When connor was born he & I both had problems, I was not able to hold for 5 hours after I delivered him because of the problems I was having, then when I was able to finally hold him 3 hours later the NICU nurse's came up to take him. We were only able to hold him 20 minutes a day other than that we were able to touch him through an incubator...
Words will never be able to describe the sadness we felt seeing our new little guy all alone inside an incubator. The time came when it was time to go home for me & chris as we said our sweet good byes to our baby, we drove home in silence, quietly crying, there were no words that could express the pain we both felt leaving with out connor, I can still remember that sadness and hope to never experience that again.
For the next week in a half we went to the hospital every 3 hours to feed him and tell him how much we loved him. The day came when he was finally able to come home, only he was not really home he still had to be in a billy bed for another week still not being able to hold him, as we came together as a family living by faith and hope Connor is now 1 and healthy.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated this special day with us. WE WERE NOT JUST CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY, BUT A LIFE ."We love you so much connor thank you for being in our family, life would not be complete without you. Happy birthday
(Don't forget to scroll down and look at his birthday party pictures)

A walk down memory lane!
Steph this was a great idea....
1. Add a comment of a memory you have of the two of us together. It doesn't matter if you know me very well or just a little, it can be anything. It can be a recent memory or from way back. Once you leave a comment I will assume you are playing too.
2. Add these instructions to you own post and wait for the memories to start rolling in.

Camping, Hiking, swimming you name it!
We love to hike, so this weekend we went to big cottonwood canyon and took a fun hike , kaden was the leader and loved every minute of this hike, we all did. Thank you kaden for wanting to go on a hike! With every thing that is going on in our lives right now we really needed this weekend to just get away from the worldly things. There is nothing better than the fresh smell of NATURE! There is nothing more important to me than my family I love them all so much! I have realized that in a split second wordly things could be taken away from us, but the one thing I have is the worlds best husband and father with my wonderful little boys that mean the world to me. I know some of you can understand what we are going through and my heart goes out to you too. As my mom always says THIS TOO SHALL PASS " hopefully right :) Thank you all for all you do for us we are so grateful ! kaden gets on this rock and says "I'm king of the world"
Connor wasn't so sure about this water I think it was a little to cold! That is quite the expression con-man
I am glad my hubby still loves me without makeup! Sometimes I just hate wearing stuff on my face. I like the feeling of a clean fresh face:)
I love this picture , kaden was telling connor all about the fire works. You really are a great big brother kaden
On the fourth on July we went hiking to Hobble Creek Canyon in springville it was so pretty and nice
