connors room
Not connors room but the bean bag chair from his roomThis picture is just cute. Connor was deathly afraid of the vacuum until we got him his own.
Playing catch up
So much has happened sense I last posted. The most exciting news is that we moved in to a big apartment!!!! It is so much better. Connor has his own big boy room and we are loving the fact that all of Connor's toys now have a home too.
Connor is amazing!! I can't believe that he is already 18 months old. At his check up he weighed 27 lbs and was 34 inches long. She said that he is perfectly balanced with his weight and height but that he was the size of a two year old. We are working on the talking thing but so far everything is ball and daddy. I found the best park ever and we go there at least once a day sometimes twice. I hated going to the park before I found this one. It is all gated in so Connor cant escape, which is a plus because he is a runner. The best part though is there is no sand and no wood chips. Instead they use this like this bouncy asphalt stuff. Its amazing and so nice to not leave the park all sandy and with wood chips all in your hair. He is super active and keeps me on my toes. He loves Elmo right now and can't get enough of Elmo's world and sesame street. We can't wait for Christmas so we have an excuse to buy all the things he wants and needs.
As for me I am doing great. I am already half way through my semester of school. It is going really well and so far I have A's. Hopefully I can keep that up!!! Jared is doing really well too. He is very excited about the Dodgers right now. He is the biggest dodgers fan and they are doing really well in the play offs. I hope they win because that would make for such a happy husband. He has already reminded me that in a few weeks the lakers start playing again which means basketball, baseball and football will all be on in the Burton house.
He looks like such a big boy in his skull and cross bone jammies
It is kind of a funny picture but he is just such a happy baby

Connors first Piano lesson
Well maybe it wasn't quite a lesson and more just banging on the keys. Regardless they sure are cute pictures!!
Steph and Brandon are here
It has been so much fun the last few weeks to have Stephanie and Brandon come down from Idaho. Connor loves them both so much!!! Every time Brandon holds him he just cuddles right up to him. Now if any of you have ever held Connor, he is not a snuggler. But he has grown quite fond of Brandon and just lets him hold for so long. I love having them here not only because they help me so much with Connor but because we have done so many fun things with the whole family. Going to beach, pool days, the movies, and of course are favorite going out to eat. I wish they could stay forever but soon enough they will be out of Idaho and back where they belong.
Connor is doing really well. I am counting down the Sundays til he is in nursery. He loves playing outside. His favorite thing is to go on walks with my mom. As soon as mom says, "Connor you wanna go on a walk" he finds his shoes and sits down for me to put them on and than races to the door. I love that he understands almost everything I saw to him. Well almost everything of course he has no idea what NO means!!! He gets into so my mischief. But what baby doesn't. I start school this coming Monday and I am so excited. Not to have to do all the homework, but excited for the process to start. The sooner I start the sooner I finish.

Connor some how figure out how to climb in all by himself but couldn't quit figure out how to get out
The only 4Th of July Picture I haveI have been such a slacker lately with blogging. But scroll down and you can find out what we've been up too.
Back to School
So for any of you that don't know this already, we are not moving to Utah. I have such mixed feelings about this. I am the biggest mommas girl in the world. When we moved out of my parents house and down the street I cried. So I don't really know how I thought I was going to be able to move to Utah, but I kind of felt like I could do it. So when things didn't work out it I was way more emotional about it than I thought I would be. It's weird because when you pray about something and ask for things to work out you always add at the end of that, "if that's what we are suppose to do." But than when it doesn't work out, its hard to remember that part.
But honestly I am so excited to be staying in California. Not excited to be paying what it cost to live here, but what can you do.
So on to the next chapter of our life. I have decided to go back to school. Jared and I have gone back and forth on this about a million times. I love Jared with all my heart and he is an amazing dad and husband but him and school don't mix. Now, this was not Jared's idea. He would continue to go to school for as long as it took to finish, but together we have decided that this is the best thing for are family. I am taking advantage of my mother in law being the dean at a community college in Santa Clarita. In 1 day she had me all ready to go in all the classes I wanted. I am going to be taking on-line class for now and continue to do so until I run out of options. I am going to be going for my Business degree in Human resources. As much as I wish I could be a stay at home mom for the rest of my life, I know I am doing what is best for my family. If Jared wasn't so amazing with Connor I could never do it in a million years. He is the most attentive dad in the world. He watches Connor like a Hock. I am taking 9 units this coming fall. My OCD of course says I should be taking way more. But I figure I better start out with that and make sure it all fits into my day. Mommy during the day Student at night. I am really motivated to make this work and balance everything at the same time.
Now for a Connor update: Of course he is still the love of my life and the most crazy insane wonderful boy in the whole world. I always say to him, "I've never meet a baby like you." He has mastered not walking but running. Decided that he no longer rides in the cart but wants to walk. We are working on holding mommies hand and not running away. He is starting to kind of talk. He has his own baby language and will talk to you for minutes. His hair in crazy. I know I should get it cut but there's no way he would sit still. He is almost 16 months but at his 15 month check up he was perfect. Perfect weight, height everything. We are so thankful for all of are family and all that they do to support and help us. Connor is so lucky to have all of his Grandparents so close.
