Birthday Weekend

He is officially 5 years old!!!  Saturday morning Conner was officially 5 years old and loving it!!! Jack had spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's so Jay, Stella, and I celebrated with him!!

Conner got a set of golf clubs from Jay and I.  Stella was ready to play!

 We celebrated the morning with donuts!!! The two of them enjoyed them as you can see.

The majority of our outside time is spent in the jeep, can you tell?!?!?! 

On Saturday, I took Conner and his friend Camdon to Chuck E Cheese.  They had a blast.  Jay met us there for lunch. 

On Sunday, Jay and I were able to sneak away for a little bit to enjoy the boat races.  We ran into some old friends and had a blast!!! The weekend went by way to fast!!!  Happy Birthday to our little man, we love you lots Conner Paul!!!

Conner's 5th Birthday



Happy Birthday to Conner Paul Brantingham!!! I can't believe he is 5, where did the time go!!!



Conner's birthday was a blast!!! He had a wonderful time, got lots of great gifts, and we had alot of good laughs!!! Thank you to all our family and friends that made this day extra special!!!

Summer Fun

Apparently the 4 wheeler was extremely dirty so they took a good 15 minutes

to clean every crack and crevice!

 Last week the kids got a visit from Grandpa and Grandma!  They were thrilled that they went swimming with them. 

 This is what happens when the boys run and jump into the pool and miss, opps!!

A Day "Off"

Last Thursday I threw a surprise party for Jay.  He celebrated 10 years in business.  His sister and Grant came over for the celebration so we got a little swimming and fun time in on Friday!!!

 Mr. Grant LOVED the jeep!!!  I could never get Stella and Grant to look at me at the same time.

 I decided it was best to get the boys there own pool.  Its no fun when you try and cram four kiddos into one small pool! 

 Jay took Sunday off and boy were the kids excited.  We didn't do a whole lot but relax and play outside.

 The top left is what happens when I leave Stella in her crib to long after she has woken up from her nap!!!

And the highlight of the weekend, a family swim in the kiddy pool!!! Just an FYI for anyone who comes to visit us this summer - don't refer to the pool as a kiddy pool.  I said kiddy pool numerous times one day and Conner got so upset, " I don't want a KITTY pool mom!!! Those are for girls!!" 

July 4th at the Brantingham's

For the 4th of July, Jay and I and the kids went out to our old farm house to celebrate with our dear friends Doug and Tammy.  They had a big celebration with lots of friends, family, and great food.  At 8pm we headed back home to do fireworks with Auntie E, Mac, and Otto!

 As you can see from the pictures, ALL the boys LOVED the sparklers!!!

 This was Jack's first year to actually hear how loud they are.  Poor little guy was a little sensitive!

 Otto and Stella weren't quite sure at first.  They were either glued to the hip or chillin in the strollers!

One of the neighbors puts on a huge display in the park right in front of our house.  We didn't even have to leave the drive way to have a fabulous view.  There were so many cars and people on foot piling into the neighborhood to get a good view.  Hope everyone had a safe and Happy 4th, we sure did!!!
