Into Everything

    My sweet little Connor is always on the go. He hardly ever sits down and stays in one place for longer than a few minutes. Lately, he has been getting into everything. His newest thing is to take containers out of the cabinets.

Staff Duty and More Pool Time Fun

   Yesterday, Aaron had 24 hour staff duty at work :( Since it was right in the middle of our weekend, we didn't do a whole lot. Connor and I were both awake when he left yesterday morning at 8:45, so we got to say goodbye to him. 

 He noticed the patches on his uniform.

Friends and Family Day

    This morning started off extra busy for us. Aaron and I both woke up at 7, which was really later then I should have slept in until. I had plans to help one of our friends and Aaron didn't have to go into work until 8. Connor woke up as soon as I started getting ready, which made it super difficult since he wanted to be held the entire time. I somehow managed to sit him in his high chair and he ate breakfast while I finished up. 

     I was out the door in less than an hour. Yes, I was rushing and somehow managed to forget my house keys (I'll get to that later)... However, I did remember the sunscreen and the bug spray. I always forget those! Anyways, Connor and I were off to meet our other friend so we could follow each other. We got lost a couple times, but eventually found our way. When we got to her house, the movers were almost done unpacking all her stuff. To keep the boys out of their way, we sat outside and they played with Noah's toys.

Our {Not So Quick} Trip To Ikea

   This past Saturday, we made a trip to Ikea. Little did we know, it would turn into an all day affair! Of course we had to walk the upstairs showroom for the second time this month just to make sure we I didn't miss anything. We needed several things for our house, so with my list in hand, we shopped. 

     Most of the items we needed were for the kitchen. One thing we don't have much of is storage space. We don't have very many cabinets, so I knew I had to work with what I've got. I found these shelf inserts that would allow me to stack my china and pantry items. I am so glad I got them because they sit in the cabinets perfectly (probably because the cabinets are from Ikea).

Father's Day Weekend

    Aaron had a four day weekend this week. Friday was very relaxed. We Aaron did yard work in the morning while Connor played in his pool, then the afternoon was spent relaxing around the house.

     Saturday we went to Ikea and spent all day there... literally. We got there at noon, had lunch, shopped for a couple hours, made our purchases, then went home around 3:30. We started putting together one of the chairs we bought and when Aaron got to the last screw, it wouldn't screw in. Then, after looking at it I decided I didn't like the color, so we took it apart and went back to Ikea. We returned it, got a different chair and some other things, ate dinner, and headed home at 8:30. Aaron built the new chair and we went to bed. Even I was tired from shopping all day, and I love to shop!

    Yesterday was Aaron's second Father's Day. We celebrated by going to Verona with some friends. It was only an hour drive and the perfect weather for walking around outside.
