Halloween 2008

Halloween 2008

We had a great time this Halloween! Went continued our tradition of going to Mike and Kelly's house for dinner and trick-or-treating. They live in a really cute neighborhood. Konner had not only Jordan and Tre to go with, but Sam and Dylan were there too. Lots of fun memories. Konner wanted to take Buster trick-or-treating with him so I agreed to take our 41/2 month old yellow lab with us. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! Buter (the yellow lab) had a costume and everything but did not like having to walk on the leash with us. He was a nightmare! Cute - but a nightmare all the same! Johnny had to handle the puppy most of the time, he was trilled let me asure you. The kids had fun and Konner didn't even pay attention to Buster (that he just had to take along) was the candy started coming his way. Thanks Kelly and Mike for another wonder night!

Cute Kid Alert!!!!

I wish I could take credit for taking this picture, but I can not. But I can claim this cute kid as my nephew Tre. Watch out girls, he's a cutie!!!!

First Game

As you all know, Konner's has a very wonderful family!!!! The night of his first game - the turn out was great! I know Konner felt very special that night and we love you all for coming from near and far to cheer him on!

The SWING!

The GAME!
The FANS!

The RALLY! GO YANKEES!

T-ball Gang

I thought this was a great picutre taken of some of the boys on Konner's team. These guys stick together a lot - and of course the shortest little guy is Jackson - Konner's best friend and partner in crime!

"Little Ryan" and Konner

My cousin, Ryan, came to visit a couple of weeks ago. We always love to see him and this was the first time he met Konner. Konner loved having Ryan here to "mess" with. Here are just a couple of pics of Ryan at Konner's t-ball practice and at my mom's house.

One Crazy Kid!

Daddy to the Rescue!

Johnny was "Johnny on the spot" when Konner lost his swimmy in 8 feet of water. When Johnny realized Konner was going to have troubles staying above water with only one swimmy, he dove in to help Konner. Johnny was not wearing a swim suit. He had on his clothes with hat and sunglasses and Blackberry in his pocket! Konner didn't even have time to realize he was in trouble! I hate that Johnny's phone was ruin, but I'm so thankful that Konner is fine and no worse for the wear!! Thanks Daddy!

Labor Day 2008

We all went to our neighbor's cookout on Labor Day. Konner had a blast! They have a pool with a slide and diving board. Konner LOVED it!!! He stayed in that pool for almost 5 hours straight. This kid was amazing everyone!!!!! We all couldn't believe some of the things he was willing to try. He loves the water and has absolutely no fear of it. Johnny and I are going to sign him up for swimming this winter just so he can stay in practice and learn some more techniques.

Zac and Buster

I know it has been hard for some of you to believe me when I tell you Zac is VERY tolerant of Buster. Well here is proof!!!! Zac even allows Buster to come into his crate with him!!! Obviously, this won't happen for too long b/c Buster is getting so big! Zac is such a great dog and is really mellowing in his old age.

Who's to Blame?

I had found this t-shirt for Konner a while back and I am now searching for a doogie t-shirt to print - "Blame the Kid"

These days I never know "who to blame" - the dog (Buster) or Konner!!!!

At Bat

The mass confusion started when the kids got their chance at bat. Konner, for instance, would hit the ball but instead of running to first base, he would want to chase down his own ball. When we finally got him on first base and the next kid hit the ball, Konner wanted to chase down the ball instead of running to second base!!!! This continued until he was on third. It finally clicked and he went running home when the ball was hit. Fortunately, my kid was not the only one doing this. We had to have a parent at each base to help these kids find their way "home!" So every time the ball was hit, everyone started yelling and screaming!!!! It was one of the most hilarious things to witness!!!! I had a lot of fun out there with them but more importantly, Konner had a lot of fun and didn't even want to leave after almost 1 1/2 hours of practice!!!!!

The Gang

It's been a while since I last posted anything. But I wanted to share with you the pictures from Konner's first T-Ball practice. There are 12 kids on the team including Konner's best little buddy, Jackson. They all learned the basics yesterday. They learned about home, first, second and third bases. They practice running them and then they practiced with each coach, in small groups, how to throw and catch the ball. Amazingly, they all did pretty well at this stage. They followed directions better then I ever thought they would! But that success didn't last long. When it came time for batting - it was MASS CONFUSION!!!!!!

First Bath

Buster got his first bath (with us anyway) and was not very happy about it. I thought with him being a water dog and all - he'd love it! Maybe next time.

Konner & Friends

Konner has two friends from his preschool that he has become good buddies with. They each have been over here to play and we always seem to end up outside playing baseball. So here are a few pics to enjoy!


Konner, Jackson & Zac (of course)!

I just thought I would post some of these pics of Buster. I have been so busy lately, I haven't even had a chance to take some more good ones of Konner and Buster together!
