Carley at 14 months!







So, I remembered a few days a go we never had Carley's 1 year pictures taken. Must be the 4th child thing or I'm just getting old. Today I got her dressed and charged the camera. We headed outside and took some pictures. She did great the first few, then she just wanted to play in the dirt. She really likes to eat the dirt. She is so precious to us and growing way to fast!

 We love you Carley Brooke!!

A mommy's best friends!!



This is my third one! I use it so much, it only last about a year. 

Jammin at the Conn's house!






We jam a lot in this house. Robert has a lot of percussion instruments and all the kids have their own guitars.  This night the girls were all about the vocals. Levi and Robert were jammin with the guitars. Carley is helping too!!

Levi

                                               This Morning.
                                               Last night.


Last night Levi was jumping in the bath and fell and busted his eye-brow wide open. He ended up with 6 stitches and lots of pain. The Dr. could not deaden it all the way, so Levi was in a lot of pain. The Dr. was very green at putting stitches in. The man had to take a break. It took 3 adults to hold him down. It's not cool to see and hear your child in that much pain. 

Levi is a champ! I let Levi look at the picture of his head and he said "that looks cool". Boys!

Today we had a little party for Carley. She really enjoyed the cake part. Carley has grown so much this past year. She is so beautiful inside and out and has a sweetness about her. We are looking forward to see what God has for her life. We are praying for Carley that she will love the Lord her God with all her heart, soul, mind and strength. Happy Birthday Little girl. You make us smile and laugh everyday.

MORE RABBITS!!

Well... While Robert was mowing this afternoon he found 7 more baby rabbits!! They have a nest in our backyard. Last month we had 3 baby rabbits in the play ground. Those rabbits are now living in our bushes. It's like we have a rabbit farm at out house. That's 10 baby rabbits and 3 adult rabbits living around our house. I'm going to need more carrots from the store!!

All done!!

Robert and I started the journey of him going to Seminary to get his Masters of Divinity 4 years ago. As of last Friday morning that journey is now complete!! I am so grateful and proud of Robert. He has worked his butt off the last 4 years and it has payed off. An MDiv is a 97 hr course work. It's long and brutal. I love you Robert!!

Last Update for the Bunnies.

Well, as of 4 days ago the bunnies are gone. They have moved on and Ashlin is not all that happy about it. They were so cute to watch, maybe we will see them around.

Bunny Update 2

Well the bunnies are out of the nest and exploring their new world. I have read that they will return at night. Two are staying in the playground and one has jumped ship. We can't find him. So, I let you know if they return at night. I picked one up and they are very cute!! Ashlin also picked one up. I don't think Ashlin could be more excited. She calls herself "grandma" to the bunnies. On a side note a bird fell out of it's nest on Friday and we put it back without touching it with our hands (poor thing didn't have one feather yet). This morning while having a meeting at our house a bird flew right into our glass door. It was down for the count for a few minutes. I think it's okay, it just may have a headache for the rest of the day. 

Well have a great day! I'm signing off from wild kingdom (also know has the Conn house).

Bunny Update 1





Well the bunnies are 10 days old, today they opened their eyes! This morning I took some pictures of the mommy and daddy rabbits. Mommy was feeding them and Daddy was just watching them and looking out for his family. It was really cool to watch.

Baby Rabbits!!






This week the Mother's Day kids found baby rabbits on the church play ground. They are so cute. Yesterday we made the rabbits a tent to cover them up so they would stay dry today while it's raining. I know they survive all the time out in the wild, but this is my back yard. I just can't let the poor little things get all wet. Every morning we have seen mommy rabbit over at the nest. This morning we got the binoculars and watched her feed and bathe them. Way to cute!! I have read that she will only come once or twice a day to check on them.  She will only nurse them 5 minutes a day. That's my kind of mothering!! They should stay in the nest for 8 weeks. At this point they are less then 10 days old. They should open their eyes around 10 days of life. We will keep you posted.

My morning.

This morning has been very crazy at the Conn household. Levi tired getting the bowl of eggs out of the fridge. I really don't know why. I think he was trying to get a yogurt out of the fridge. I am guessing by the look of things the bowl of eggs were in his way. So he took them out (literally). This went bad for the eggs and Levi. I guess I will be going to the store later. While I was cleaning up the mess Claire ran into the kitchen and fell into the eggs. She's okay, just hurt her leg a little. Then after cleaning that mess up and go to take the clothes out of the washing machine and find a Pull-up in with the wash. If this has ever happened to you, you know what a mess this is. Let's just say I'm washing all the clothes again. One more thing Carley was crying during all of this. I really need a sweet tea from Sonic. 
While typing this, Levi bit Claire. This day may turn out really bad for Levi.
Did I mention I need a LARGE SWEET TEA!!!!
