Snow days!

Fun in the Snow!

Making snow angels
This was the sandbox, now covered in like 5 inches of snow.

Attempted snowman!

OompaLoompa wanting to come back in!

Snowball fight!

All three dressed for snow! Tyler did NOT want to join them! I don't blame him as I watched from inside too!

Ok, so I am still playing catch up, I just don't have a solid block of time to get all the posts done in one sitting! So, we have had a ton of snow this year. Luckily Rene (Nana Conn) was here to witness the beauty! Ethan and Avery beg to go outside everyday to play, especially when it snows. Jesse suits up in his snowboarding gear and they're off! Here are some cute pics!

Tyler's Blessing

So, you can really tell how far behind I am on my posts. Tyler was blessed 3 weeks ago. We were lucky enough to have Rene (nana conn) here with us, but we really missed Steve (especially Jesse). Jesse gave Ty a beautiful blessing and Ty was very well behaved. His full head of hair was the big hit on his debut Sunday!

Tyler 1 Month Old! (Like 2 weeks ago :)

So Tyler is actually 6 weeks old (almost 7 weeks), but I have his 1 month post to update!

At 1 month old Tyler is finally nursing well. He LOVES to be held, and "they" say you can't spoil a newborn, but I would invite "them" to come and visit, and witness! I think he was just born spoiled, probably fitting, as he is the caboose of the Conn train. He "likes" his bouncy seat, and "likes" even more his swing, those two things give me small breaks throughout the day, as he does not sleep much. He is beginning to really "look" at us and seems as though he is watching us, and will occasionally smile. He already looks so different from 6 weeks ago, here are some pictures from the last 6 weeks.

I had to include this picture of my first time meeting Ty, because I have no memory of it. That is the nurse showing him to me right after I woke up from the surgery.

Avery loves to help feed him.

So peaceful, I love it when he looks this happy when he is sleeping, because he usually sleeps so fitfully.

Enjoying some time in the swing.

Just cute!

Ethan can't get enough of him. He absolutely loves his little brother, and is already so protective!

This shows how explosive Ty is. We call him a hand granade (is that how you spell that?) in diapers.

And happy again, sort of!

This is right after a bath. I am trying to show how unruly his hair is! The surprised eyes add a nice touch to the crazy hair!

This is his first "real" bath. It took his umbilical cord 4 weeks to fall off, so we were very excited about his first bath. Nana Conn and I could hardly reach him because Ethan and Avery wanted to be a part of it so badly.

And these last 3 are my attempt at 1 month pics! Unfortunately he had just developed this flaming rash all over his face and neck. Poor guy!

Quick Updates

I just have a quick diary type entry to post before I forget. I am very forgetful these days!

Avery loves anything with polka dots, she has a few pairs of socks, and a pair of pajamas with them. The funny part is if you ask her what she's wearing, she says she's wearing her coco-not (coconut) pajamas.


Conversation between Ethan and Avery as they are hovering over baby Tyler in his bouncy seat. Tyler really only likes to be held, but he tolerates the bouncy seat for a few minutes at a time and he was reaching his limit and beginning to cry.
Avery: Brother (that's what she calls Ethan), YOU HIT HIM!
Ethan: I DID NOT! I don't hit!
Avery: (Insisting) YOU HIT HIM!
Ethan: I DID NOT...your lyin'
Avery: You're a tiger!
