Conner's Turning 5

I can't believe it has been 5 years since we first held our baby boy Conner. Now he is a big boy going to Kindergarten this next school year. We are so excited for him. Conner had a DINO-MITE Birthday. We all had fun stepping into a prehistoric party with safari hats, volcano's and T-REX TOO! We hunted for dinosaur eggs in the back yard and played pin the horn on the Triceratops. The kids loved the volcano cake which was red velvet in the middle. Conner had fun opening his presents. He got everything he wanted and much, much more: Dinosaur stuff, Bakugans, Ben 10, Transformers, Slip-and-slide, stuffed animal snake, pajama's, basketball outfit and books. He had a hard time going to bed because he wanted to play with all his toys. There is just not enough time in the day for 5 year old boys.

At the Zoo with Preschool Classmates

Conner had blast with his classmates at the Oregon ZOO. Conner had a picnic lunch with his friends and played in the grass area afterwards. Then we went to see the animals. It was a beary fun time.

Easter Fun

Easter was here before you knew it and we had some good times with Family.

Turpin Reunion

As soon as Aunt Dani left, Jared's family came into town. We all went to the Coast for some quality time together. It has been a very long time since we have all been together so this was very special. We rented a house in Lincoln City and it was big enough for all of us. We had lots of fun playing at the beach, playing games, making crafts and just visiting. This was the first time Conner and all his cousins were together. They had such a blast. Conner cried when they all had to leave. We miss them very much.

Catching up

The Turpin's have had a busy couple months. So I thought it would be nice to let all the views who are interested know what we have been up to. April was a very busy month. We had lots of visitors. My sister Dani and her family were in town and we were able to spend some time together. Conner had lots of fun with Aunt Dani, Heather and Uncle Bob.
