Connor Turns 5!

Connor turned a whopping 5 years old today! I can't believe it! He had a great birthday too (aside from the ER visit and walking in a splint!)! Saturday Scott and I slaved over their room, while the boys enjoyed cartoons, to build them an awesome bunk bed. Of course, they LOVED it! It has a new theme too...we went from cars to balls. The bunk bed is perfect to give them more space to play in their room too. Connor loves being on the top bunk and Haydn quickly mastered the ascent and has promised to pay many visits. We broke it in with Connor and Haydn climbing around for a good hour. Then the boys all piled in the bottom bunk for a story. Turns out it was good we gave him this present yesterday, tonight he has to sleep on an air mattress on the floor because of his splint, oh well.

This morning, his actual birthday, we had yummy waffles with carmel syrup, Connor's request, before we made our trip to the ER. After the ER, Connor couldn't miss primary so, splint and all, we went to church. He even got to give his first talk in primary today. We wrote a talk together, about prayer, a couple days ago and I printed it off. He read it all by himself nice and clear into the microphone. Everyone thought he was the cutest thing (I hear that a lot and have to agree of course)! After church we took it slow and had dinner. He got candles in a brownie tonight because his birthday party is next week. After dinner he got his last present from us...an old digital camera. We knew he would love it since that was his other wish list item (the watch was the first one). I can't wait to see what comes out of that camera, it will be interesting. Haydn is a good photographer too...of his hand anyway. Happy Birthday Connor! We love you so much!
