We Love Long Weekends

What a great long weekend, busy but great!

To start out, we spent the day Saturday with Maggie's Godfather and his fam at their cabin which is gorgeous.  It has been 10 years since they said goodbye to a his dad - who everyone said was a great guy.  I bet he was watching down on us all that day, cause it was a beautiful day.  Maybe Kaylee was helpin him too - cause my mom always says how Kaylee helps make things special.  Anywho, everyone was very nice and Maggie said the food was yummy, she never stopped eating, or moving.  In fact, she even taught herself how to use a scooter that was just sitting around.  Let's just say she kept Mom and Dad and Jared and Lara on their toes.  Someone was always running after her.

Then on Sunday my parents finished putting together our new ride for the summer.  The WeeHoo!  It was awesome.  We went on a couple short rides on Sunday. Can't wait to hit the trails this summer.  Then it was so nice, we decided to grill out and eat on the deck.  My dad is a pretty "mean griller" - at least that is what he says.  I think he is still nice when he cooks.  But, his food always smells really good and it looks like everyone likes it alot.  Someday, I may decide to eat some of it..... although I did try some of his chip dip and it was pretty good, I didn't even gag or throw up.

On Monday my mom went to an Amish Auction and bought some flowers, so she was pretty happy.  Then we visited one of our newest friends.... Baby Elsie was born this weekend.  She slept the whole time, so I didn't get a real feel for her yet - but her brothers are pretty cool so there is hope.  Baby Elise was also born this weekend, but we have to wait to meet her.  She doesn't have any older brothers or sisters, so I will have to teach her a thing or two when she is ready.  After we stopped in at our friends house, we decided to go out to dinner. And we wrapped up the long weekend with a visit to Kaylee.  My mom picked out some really neat colored flowers for her and we all put some down by her.  Me and dad hung out by Kaylee's spot, Maggie of course wanted to run all over, but eventually sat down by us.  My mom likes visiting her but has a hard time leaving, I think we all do.... but we all said good bye and wrapped up our long weekend.  I am pooped! 

Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day Weekend

 

Go Conner Go!

Well, it only took about a month, but it's finally here......  my mom went to a class down in Iowa last month to learn stuff for work.  While she was there she met a guy from Go Baby Go who taught her and the other physical therapist there how to adapt cool power toys for kids like me.  My mom was pumped and wanted to get one working for me, and with some help from my Grandpa Servais and a guy he knows, we finally got the electrical pieces figured out.  I can now ride in style ALL BY MYSELF!  That's right!  Now my mom and dad just have to add a few things to make it more comfortable and safe for me to sit in it, but I would say my trial run went pretty well.  Here's a little video clip of me behind the wheel.

And don't forget, if you want to join Conner & Kaylee's Crew for Little Miracles 5K and Family Fun Fest please let my mom know and she can make sure you register under our teams!  We are thinkin of diong something fun this year for everyone on our team so we need to plan a lil.  And if you are unable to join us or unable to donate (http://www.active.com/donate/ourmiraclebabies2014/Shay2014), another way you can help out is by saving your pop (and other beverage) tabs.  We are making a collection of the 5K to give to Ronald McDonald House - the place where my parents lived for the 8 months I was in the hospital.  They are awesome people and RMH is an amazing place.  Drink UP!
