And Now He's Seven...





On April 3rd Conrad turned 7.  As usual I was very anxious to make everything perfect for his birthday.  I had to run to Idaho Falls and get everything the night before because it has been so crazy I didn't have time to get anything ready beforehand.  I got home at 10:30 and had to frost the cake and Bo wrapped the presents so Conrad could wake up to presents and cake on his birthday. 

Bo came home at 4 and we celebrated with opening presents and Sloppy Joe's for dinner. 
I love watching kids open presents.

He really wanted to have his party at Grandpa's house but Hailey was still recovering from having her tonsils removed.  So my Mom came and picked up Conrad to spend some time with him and take him out to my Grandpa's.  (Grandpa doesn't have much longer and one of my parents is out there almost 24/7.  Conrad is having a hard time with Grandpa not going to be here.)  I followed them out with Jackson and Brayden.  We spent some time with Grandpa, my Dad, and Uncle Dee.  We came back home and had cake and ice cream.  Not the usual birthday, but he still had fun.

At 7 Conrad loves:

Fishing (he went with Bo the day before his birthday and couldn't wait to go)
Baseball
Riding his bike
The colors green, blue, red (in that order)
Books about animals
Legos
Recess
His brothers and sister (especially his new brother)
Nerds and Mambas
The nickname Con

At 7 We love:

How responsible he is
How he is always making his brothers and sister laugh
How helpful he is
How he loves going on dates and never stops talking
How observant he is
How he remembers everything even from when he was really little
How he's a good listener
How he loves all the same hobbies Bo does (cute)

Happy Birthday!!!  We love you Con!!!
