Sweet Summer Time

Well so far summer time has proven to be HOT!!! Our city has been in the triple digit numbers for going on 22 days now!!! The other day it was 112 degrees outside...now thats sizzling!!! I get so worried when Scotts at work (because he spends a lot of his time outside doing work) All I can hope is that he as well as everyone working there drink plenty of water!

In other news, I had a job interview on Friday and they told me they really liked me and I was their favorite so I think I have a pretty good chance of getting it!! It's at a veternary clinic, I'd be a receptionist. It would be a great oppurtunity to gain some experience, and I love animals so it should be fun too! I'll find out for sure by Wednesday if I got it or not!!! So keep your fingers crossed for me because we could really use  a second income!
   I am so thankful that my husband has a job that supports us and keeps us going, even though our finances are tight with a new car payment, he always makes me feel like we're gonna be ok. He's the best!

If your wondering what's new in Connor's world here's a few things,
    Well he is growing and changing everyday! His personality is shining right now! He giggles and laughs at pretty much anything his daddy does! They play and play together like it's going out of style! Connor spends most of his time running around in just a diaper because he HATES, and I do mean hates, to be clothed! Lol, I try so hard to dress him up in cute clothes and he throws a fit! Oh well, guess he's like his daddy (Whom also likes to come home and throw his shirt off)!
  AND speaking of temper tantrums...my child now has figured out that he can scream and slap his hands together and bang on things! Yes..he officially knows how to throw a tantrum and it is dring me CRAZY!!! Today he decided that he wanted to climb up onto our coffee table and try to pull a basket of things down so when mommy told him no and turned him facing the other direction he started whaling his hands around and screaming at the top of his lungs! He also did it when his daddy pulled him away from a plug outlet (don't worry they all have the little plastic covers on them) and put him in time out! He has a little attitude that kid! I think he might get it from me lol!
  Other than all the basics he's just a happy and giggly little boy! He turns 10 months old tomorrow! I am going to crack down on starting to plan his 1st birthday party! I think we decided on just doing it in the backyard but depending on how the weather is I'm sort of reconsidering and thinking about maybe a resteraunt instead! I know for sure we're doing a superhero theme! I can't wait to see what other kids, and parents, wear!!! I hope everyone can have fun with us and dress up! As for now I am planning it for Sept. 17th!!

Anywase, our lives are sort of boring for now sense we have been trying to save money and just spend time at home for the last couple weeks so I'll try to update...my parents are coming up this next weekend I think so maybe we'll have some good stuff to blog about!!!

Have a blessed and great week!
The Yorks

4th of July Weekend and a few other things!!

Well we had a great weekend! We went down to my parents house and spent pretty much the whole weekend in the pool! Played a little volleyball and hung out with my favorite nephew (hehe and my only nephew) Landon James! Connor has a new found fascination with this little man..it was so cute he LOVED to climb on him and just lay his head down...Landon of course found it funny and we all thought it was just adorable it was like he was giving his cousin hugs!! HAHA that is until he'd try to climb on his face or bite his fingers (in my son's defense Landon did try to stick them in Connors mouth...however Connor pretty much just went after Landon's feet) haha good times, good times!

Anywase, since there was a burn band where my parents live we had to find other ways of entertainment for the 4th (which we actually celebrated on the 3rd since Scott had to be back at work on Tuesday). We decided to hit up the city show...it was actually really good! It lasted a lot longer than I had expected and the fireworks were great! I especially had a good time sitting there saying OOOH...AHHH OOO...AHHHH over and over again with my Aunt Sharon. Lol, my son on the other hand was very tired of being held so he got a LITTLE ancy after about the 2nd hour that we'd been there...thank goodness for Grandma!!! Here's some pics of our fireworks!!!

As far as other news on the York family, Brittnee is still unemployed (yet again) but it's been ok for now..I am really enjoying time with my little man. I never thought I'd be the type of person to be ok with staying home, I thought I'd go crazy...but the house has been clean, the dishes haven't gotten bad, floors stayed vacummed, it's been great! There are those days where I get soo bored and wish I had  a job, but I just have to keep the faith that something great is going to come along and bless our family.

As far as Connor goes, he is crawling and pulling himself up on everything!!! Everytime I turn my head (even if just for a second) he's gotten into something and it usually involves tearing paper up into shreds!!! It's always gotta be something that takes forever to get cleaned up lol! He's able to stand alone by himself for a brief second, which means he'll be walking in no time (or at least that's what I've been told)! He is eating pretty much all homeade baby food! I am really enjoying playing with different ingredients to make him some yummy things to eat! This morning I made hime some homeade strawberry and peaches applesauce, and he loved it!!! For lunch we both had turkey with gravy and mashed potatos...of course his was pureed! He loves anything with mashed potatos (especially sweet potatos)! It's crazy and so much fun to learn all these little details about him, it's something new every day!
  Connor's also starting to look like a goofy little willis baby, sorry honey but he does! He is a skinny lengthy little man, with two bottom teeth and two top teeth! Haha yes our child has both front teeth (bottom and top)! It makes him very very HANDSOME! lol!

Here's pictures!

He woke up in a really good mood!!!

Well that's about it for now!!! We are going to lay low for a little while so I'll try to update but not sure there will be anything too exciting in the next couple weeks to tell ya'll about!!! Have a great week!

Love,
Scott and Brittnee
