You may have to turn your speakers off for this. Connor has started to take an interest in singing, but he just screams. My family says he may have a lead singer role in a Pantera like band someday. He definitely gets my tone deafness! I love his expressions too!

Pictures
We took Connor and Ryan to have their pictures taken together at JCpenneys this week in their adorable coordinating outfits. I swear there is a reason I don't have girls! They role reversed and suprised us when Connor who is usually my shy one kept asking if the photographer was "ready yet." I felt like we were in the car driving to Florida listening to him say are we there yet? On the other hand, my smily Ryan was not very smily that day due to some digestive issues :( The pictures turned out adorable, or at least this mom thinks so.
NKOTB
Flashback twenty years ago to me at the NKOTB concert with my mom having the best day of my life! Flashforward to me at the NKOTB concert with friends still in love with this group! We took a bus down to Riverbend for the concert and had an amazing time. I guess we were having too much fun to notice that we no longer needed sunglasses because it was dark out. I will admit that I was jealous to hear my friends that COULD hang until 3am were able to hang with Danny and Donny at Lodge Bar. Maybe in twenty more years we can go back and at least get a Golden Buckeye discount.
Ryan is going to hate me!
So I couldn't have timed this better if I tried. Ryan was smiling so I turned my camera on and then I realized that he was smiling because of what he was about to do. Impeccable timing!

Brothers
It didn't take too long for Connor to fall in love with his brother. He loves playing on the floor with Ryan!
Day at the Zoo
We went to the zoo this week with Julie, Anna, Sam and Nona. Connor loved the train ride and feeding the giraffes. We're going to go back soon for Zoo Babies!
Easter 2009
We decided to stay home on Easter (doctor's orders!) My parents and Mike's parents stopped over to see the boys and deliver Easter baskets. We chowed down on the Sparks' feast that was hand delievered and had a great day!
Coming home
We were able to leave on Sunday which was nice so that we could get home and back to our routine. Connor came home and wasn't sure how to react to the situation. He started acting out and tried to get everyone's attention. It took time and patience, but he's now a great big brother to Ryan!
Connor meets Ryan
Connor stayed with my parents while we were in the hospital and I was nervous about how he would do meeting his new brother. When he walked in, he ran to Mike and stayed away from Ryan and me. He left for the day and when he came back the next day, he started to show an interest in him. It ended up taking about two weeks for Connor to come around to the idea of sharing his mom and dad!
Here he is!
We went in for the c-section at 7:30 and Ryan Patrick Meyers was born at 7:38 am on April 3, 2009. He weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 20 inches long. As soon as he was pulled out, he peed everywhere!
Almost here!
We took a few pictures before Ryan was born. We left for the hospital at 4:30am! As you can tell by our faces, we definitely had less anxiety this time around. Right before Ryan was born, the monitors picked up the sound of his hiccups.

Six weeks left!
I've been awful about taking pregnancy pictures this time around, but here is the latest. I'm carrying this baby so much different than Connor (but they swear it's a boy!) Baby 2 still is nameless even though the baby name poll says Oswald won! I can promise you one thing...it will not be Baby Oswald!

Connor Turns Two!
This year we had a low key birthday party for Connor with just our family. We had Connor's favorite meal (pizza...big suprise!) When I asked him what kind of party he wanted to have, he told me ball...big ball. So we had every type of ball decor I could find (lucky for me Super Bowl is right around the corner.) We made basketball and baseball cupcakes, even though Pa said they looked more like spiders and train tracks. Connor was a pro at opening his presents, thanks to Christmas three weeks before. He was a little unsure when everyone sang Happy Birthday, but the cupcake made all fears go away.
Who wants cake?
Connor helped make the cupcakes for his birthday party. He was in charge of stirring while I poured the batter into the cups. I caught him licking the spoon and we had our first talk about double dipping. Maybe the cake batter was why he wouldn't nap that day!
Pump it Up
On New Year's Eve, Dori called and invited us to go to Pump it Up with her and her cousin's little boy. Since the day before Connor and I had a little "falling out," I think I was guilted into the trip. Not that I didn't WANT to take him, I was just afraid I couldn't keep up with him being six months pregnant! Lucky for me, Aunt Dori did the running. Connor was definitely not into the room with the inflatables, but did try the slide with Dori. He sat there and directed traffic for most of the time spent in the first room. When we went to the other room, he warmed up and really got into playing. We had a blast and he slept good!
Christmas with the Sparks'
This was round 3 of Christmas this year. Since Julie and Paul went to Canada for the holidays, we celebrated with them two weeks before Christmas then with the Meyers side the week before Christmas. By this time Connor was getting into the routine with the presents. It was nice to stay at one place on Christmas this year instead of traveling from house to house. We opened gifts, ate some grub and played Wii like there was no tomorrow!
Christmas Morning
We had to wake Connor up on Christmas morning...I'm sure that will be the last time we have to do that. He didn't understand what we were doing and enjoyed taking the bows off of all of the presents. He would open a present and then want to play with it while refusing to open another. He did get a very manly kitchen set from Santa (without approval from his daddy!) I think next year will be A LOT different!
Christmas with the Meyers'
We did Christmas a week early with the Meyers since Mark and Jaime were traveling to Louisiana to be with her family. We had a great time and the presents were responsible for taking up half of the basement. Connor got a four wheeler powerwheels from his "mawmaw" and "pawpaw." Thanks again guys for the damage we've had to the walls! Connor also got some awesome Bass Pro pajamas from who else but Uncle Mark and an awesome Mr. Potato Head set from Aunt Amy (notice the glasses!) This was our second round of Christmas!
Cookies with Nona
This year we started a new tradition baking Christmas cookies with the kids and my mom. The kids (and Bobby) had a blast making the cookies. Even though the cookies looked very appetizing, I don't think anyone tried any!
