My favorite part of skiing with a 5 year old - when I catch up to Olivia and Robert who are waiting for me at the bottom of a black diamond run Olivia shouts 'Good job mommy, you made it.'

Catching Air
Sunday was another great ski day for the Connor family. Here are some pictures of Olivia and Robert catching air in the terrain park. Sorry no pictures of me going off jumps but someone has to be the photographer.

1st Base
When you are standing on 1st base it is always a good idea to be ready to run to 2nd. Just in case you need some pictures so that you have an idea of what the ready position might look like I have included a few.
This is Olivia in her uniform ready to play in her first game last Saturday. As we expected the game was very entertaining and a lot of fun.
If you are looking for the Connor Family you will find them on the baseball field for the next several weeks!!
Up next - 2nd base and why it is important to clean the base off when you get there.

Mariners
Meet the Rookies on the Mariners T-Ball Team.
Meet the Manager of the Mariners T-Ball Team.
Meet the clean up hitter for the Mariners T-Ball Team. She is also the early front runner for MVP.
Meet the Bat boy for the Mariners T-Ball Team.
Today was our first T-ball practice and wow do we have team full of talent. We did not expect to actually be in charge of the team. When we signed Olivia up to play Robert volunteered to be a coach. It turns out that if no one volunteers then you get a promotion to manager.

Olivia, Olivia, Olivia
There have been so many posts lately about Olivia that I decided it was time to devote an entire post to Caedan . Caedan is now 17 months old and he is growing up so fast. So here is what Caedan is up to:
1. His vocabulary is increasing every day and he has a lot to say. His current list of words include yah, no (his favorite word), daddy, mommy, thank you (he says this when he gives you something), what is that, nana (banana), night night, here, here you go, there you go, and merci. Yes he is bilingual. He is learning French at his daycare and he can understand a lot of what they say to him.
2. He is pure boy and yes there is defiantly a difference between boys and girls. He loves to bang on everything, take everything off the shelves and knock everything down. If you build a tower with blocks he will knock it down. If you put all the books on his book shelf he will knock them down. And yet I still put the books back on the shelf every night. When will I give up?
3. He loves to throw things down the stairs.
4. He loves to cuddle.
5. He loves his big sister.
6. He smiles all the time.
7. He is a lover of bread and bagels.
8. He does not like to sleep in. Lately he has been waking up around 6:30am which does not make his parents very happy.
9. He must eat as soon as he wakes up.
10. He loves fleece blankets. He rubs them on his face when going to sleep.
11. If you laugh Caedan will laugh along with you.
12. He has been going up the stairs for a while now and he can now also go down. I was excited to watch him do it for what I thought was the first time the other night but then Olivia informed me that ‘He did that the other day’.
13. He no longer likes his car seat. He will scream and stiffen his body making it nearly impossible to buckle him in.
14. He loves Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (even when I sing it!!) and singing this song will usually calm him down.
15. He has a funny sound that he makes when he sees a dog or a cat. The same sound is used for both animals.
16. He does not like to color. He does like to eat crayons.
17. He loves to throw things into the bath tub when Olivia is taking a bath. So far the remotes, wireless mouse, and an old cell phone have gone for a swim. Luckily they all still work.
18. He loves to unroll the toilet paper.

If you listen closely Caedan is saying thank you and there you go.
