9 month pics

Well we recently had Connor's 9 month pictures taken down in Carmel at a place called Portrait Innovations. We really like it there, the people are nice, the prices are right, and it's definitely worth the drive. The worst part about it is that they took about 173 photos and we had to narrow it down to a package that would fit our budget. It was had be we ended up picking 6 really great poses. So the first pics are the one we chose, and then the rest are just some of my faves. I hope everyone likes them as much as we did.

Look what I can do

Well Connor is just on the go, go, go. Ever since he started sitting up the monumental discoveries have just been happening. Connor is now starting to pull him self up. And since this new discovery we've had to baby proof even more of the house. Ah the joys of parenting.

Look at what I can do.

Fun with friends

Well this month has been very eventful for Connor and the rest of the family. On July 15th my friend Charity and her sister Katie came down for a visit. Katie also thought that it would be fun to bring her son Noah over for a play date with Connor. Noah is only 2 weeks older than Connor and they had a blast.

Then my cousin Megan came down on the 21st and brought her twin boys Nolan and Carder down to play with Connor. And they are only 2 weeks younger than Connor.

Then on July 25, we were going down for Connor's 9 month pics and decided that we needed to stop by Jeff and Joni's so that Connor could hang out with his great friend Leah, and boy did they have fun.

Also while at Jeff and Joni's Connor loved their new hard wood floor. He also thought it was really funny when Uncle Jeff and daddy decided that they would run around the island counter top in Jeff and Joni's kitchen. I've added a video of this last bit of fun over at Jeff and Joni's. Unfortunately I think that Leah was napping during all of this fun.

Needless to say that we always enjoy time with our friends. We love you all.

Happy 1st Birthday cousin Leah

Our good friends Jeff and Joni's little girl Leah had her first birthday on July 6. We all went down to their house to celebrate her birthday on July 11th. And in tradition of all of our get together's over at the Sedberry household, we all had a great time and were able to fill our bellies with lots of Joni's yummy food. Leah had a great time opening her presents, but I think she had the most fun destroying the giant cupcake cake that her mommy made especially for her day. We all had a great time. Thank you Leah for letting us share your special day with you.

Uh-oh a drum, thanks Uncle Brandon. Well I guess she's going to follow in her daddy's footsteps.

Let the fun begin.

Now you see the top...

Now you don't.

And there goes the rest of it.

What a mess, but Leah had fun.

4th of July campout

Well we were able to take another campout. This time mom was able to go as well, and we went all the way to Bowling Green, KY. Now the main reason for taking this trip was so that my dad could have some Jack in the Box tacos. Now if any of you know my dad, then you know that this is a big deal, and they don't have Jack in the Boxes this far north, so we made a trip south. Ryan had never been to Tennessee either (which is where the Jack in the Box was), so it was a fun trip for all. I don't know why but I wasn't very good with pics this time. Most of our trip was spent in Bowling Green, KY...and while we were there we went to a train meuseum and went to some local shops. But for the Jack in the Box run we had to go to TN, Nashville to be exact. While in Nashville we went to a store called the Apple Barn where we got some homemade honey, apple butter and salt water taffy. It was a fun day for all. We left on the Wed. afternoon before the fourth and came home the Sunday after the fourth. It was a fun trip for all. And I know that when Connor gets a little older he will really enjoy the campouts with Grandma and Grandpa. I've enclosed a few pics. Enjoy.

Love,

Vanessa, Ryan, and Connor
