Mom and Connor Date

When I saw that one of Connor's favorite bands was coming to San Antonio, I had to splurge and get tickets!

As Connor has gotten older, I have seen the need for us to have more one on one time. These little dates keep the relationship tight and we have time to talk. And it's positive time together. Sometimes I nag way too much-- especially a teenager-- and positive time together is really, really important.

One Republic was in town for the big Rodeo in San Antonio. This is a HUGE rodeo that happens every year and lasts for 2 weeks. The rodeo is first, and then the concert is afterwards. Maybe that is a way to get people to go to the rodeo??? 

The opening ceremonies were pretty cool and very patriotic!


Connor is so excited for what's about to happen!

Connor being a goof bal!

We splurged and got cotton candy and a soda! Connor was in sugar heaven!



This is one of my favorite pictures of the night. This was taken right as One Republic came out and started their first song. It was Connor's favorite song, "Secrets."  He is beyond excited in this pic.



This is my other favorite picture of the night. This is Connor's hands playing the "air-piano" along with the band playing "Secrets." So grateful that he has the talent of playing the piano so he can play cool songs like these!

We had such a fun time together. Connor is such a fun kid. He's got a great sense of humor and knows how to have a fun time. Doing things like this helps me to realize just how great my kids are. I am so blessed to have them in my life and to be their mom. I am grateful to learn and grow with them in this life.

Another Birthday for Dad!

Happy birthday to one of the greatest men I know!!!! These pictures are pretty lame, but I had to post them for laughing's sake.....and the cuteness factor, of course!

I love these two faces!

First present, a bottle of juice!!!!!! Yea!!! Brett loves this juice, so it was actually a really great choice for him.



I love these two faces, too!!!
Next present: A BOTTLE OF MOUTHWASH!!! YIPEE! If you know Brett, he HATES to chew gum, but is always conscience of his breath, especially working with his patients. So, this is a great gift too.


Brett did get other presents that day, but I have no documentation of them! And no pictures of Connor!!! Oh, well. This was worth the post for the laugh. 

The year of the juice and mouthwash!!!
