A Big Happy Birthday wish to my sweet 13 year old! I am so lucky to have such a great son! There are so many reasons why Connor is so special, but I just want to share a few....
He's a loving brother and son.....
He's sensitive and thinks of others first....
He's Mister GQ and loves his hair!!! (Not necessarily one of Rod or my favorite characteristics!)
He can be the life of the party! He has such an excitement for life and likes to share that with others!
He's got a good imagination!
He's a great friend!
He likes to try new things......
He's got your back when you need him most....
He's very athletic and likes to try as many sports as possible.....
He even will run a triathlon with Strep throat and not complain....
He could spend all day at the beach in the water....
He's always on the look out for something new to learn....
He's very competitive and likes to win.....
He doesn't often sit still.....
He loves his name and hates when anyone spells it with an "er"....
He is such an asset to our family and we love him very much!

This was the view on our walk from our hotel to Whistler Village! Gorgeous!!
Whistler Village was so full of life, we loved being a part of the fun atmosphere.
This was the view from our hotel window. We were right at the base of the slopes and could literally pick up our skis and walk out the door of the hotel right to the lifts. It was great!
My fourth attempt at skiing in my entire life! Needless to say, I'm not very good. There are no pictures of Rod skiing because I couldn't stand on my skis and take a picture without falling down!
Here I come, snowplowing all the way! (Parents, teach your kids to ski while they are young so they don't have to suffer this humiliation!)
I even got in a hot tub! (This is not my favorite thing, but I sacrificed for Rod's sake.)
Rob and Cindi made a yummy dinner.
Jayden had been really sick, so he didn't really eat much. Finally we got him to eat some crackers and string cheese. I think Jackie was relieved to see him finally eat something. (You can see in his eyes and how red his nose is that he didn't feel good.)
Although he was still not feeling that great, he did have his moments where he had some energy. He was really excited to help Cindi wash the dishes.
It was a rainy Sunday, so there wasn't much to do. It was especially hard to find something for a 3 year old in a house where only adults live, but we had a great time playing Mario Kart on the Gamecube and also playing games on the internet.
I was so glad that Jayden wasn't scared of me. Even though he was feeling bad, he sat with me and even let me wipe his little runny nose. (He doesn't even let his mom do that!)
He had us all laughing with his funny faces! We loved his cute little smile and personality.
Miss Caitlin is awesome! The girls love working with her and she is so sweet to them.
Halle's team performed another dance to the Chipmunks' "Witch Doctor".
They did such a great job on all the dances.
