He could hardly go to sleep tonight because he was so pumped about it. Even before the BB Gun, Connor had had a pretty good birthday. It started the night before his actual birthday (since I was gone all day on his birthday). He got to have his choice for dinner (taco salad) and his choice for birthday cake (cheesecake: the instant kind out of a box). Can you say EASY TO PLEASE?!? I love this kid! He also got a cheap little yard horseshoes set and a box of over 100 basketball trading cards. He was thrilled!
Saturday--this wasn't really for his birthday, but it felt like we were still celebrating--we went to Laramie for the Cowboys football game. They got killed by Boise State, but it was a nice night and we had a great time with family.
Finally, to finish off the celebrations, we had grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins come for birthday cake last night. That's when he rolled in all the dough necessary to buy his newest prized posession! Thanks to all of you who made Connor's 7th birthday such a hit! (Now, what to get him for Christmas? It was going to be a BB GUN!!)

I'm so glad he had such a great birthday! I was sad I couldn't come to the big celebration on Sunday, though. I can't believe he's so grown-up. I haven't seen him since Sulli left on his mission and it seems like he's changed a lot since even then! Happy Birthday big guy!! Oh, and just don't shoot yer eye out, k!
Sounds like a great birthday! Wish we could have made it on Sunday.

He looks so happy! Happy late birthday to him! Did you end up finding someone to watch your girls? I really wish it would have worked out better. I just know our girls would be fast friends. And I know the feeling about birthdays before Christmas. I am always at a loss on what to get Matthew for Christmas because he gets everything on his list for his birthday!
What a cute kid. I can't believe you have a 7-year-old. You did such a good job for his birthday. Unfortunately, my son, Nate saw the picture of Connor with the gun and he's wondering when he can get one--thanks a lot:)
