Goodbye Summer and hellooo Fall!

Well this summer has been one of the best ones yet for our little family. We had a great time spending lot's of time with our families enjoying and soaking up the sun (and yes we soaked it up in 100+ degree weather..crazy I know). Connor is very sad to see his summertime go bye bye, he adores being outside in the sun running and playing. (Little does he know that playing in the fall is sooo much better, he'll understand soon when Mommy and Daddy can play longer with him instead of stopping due to heat exhaustion).
   As we move on into quite possibly the best season of all, I can't help but think about all the good times we had over the summer. We learned that Connor is NOT a huge fan of large swimming pools...crazy I know! He LOVES his baths and the little above-ground pool I finally talked my husband into letting us get (yes he finally agreed), but is deathly afraid of both our parents bigger pools...at least most of the time! Let's see, we also figured out that our child is going to be a boxing champ! He is crazy good at it...which is not so good when he starts doing it with actual fists instead of with his little blow up gloves his daddy got him. He's been really good about only punching when he has those on...but on occasion he sneaks one in on you and it can seriously take the wind (or knock the blood) out of you!!! Needless to say we've had to restrict him from doing this so often! As much as we love our son, lot's of other things than laughing at or about our silly little boy have happened for our family. God's been really good to us job wise, Scott has finally got his hire date for his job (he's been working as a temp at the same place for about 8 months now)! We could not be more thrilled not only is this a huge help financially but it's like a burden has been lifted of our shoulders. I have also been blessed finding a job in my career field! I am working at a Law firm doing somewher in between Legal Assistant, seceretarial, and paralegal work, and it has been so wonderful. I work with a wonderful (but very small) group of God fearing people that have made me feel very at home and have taught me several things to help me succeed here. We have finally gotten to a point where we feel like we have some room to breath and enjoy life rather than constantly worry about what disaster is going to happen or be sprung on us next. It's VERY exciting!!!!
  As for the rest of our summer, Scott has taken on a new hobby of buying guns and going hunting (which is very attractive :)) He REALLY enjoys dove hunting, especially now that the season started! He is even improving lol! Hoping to get to go dear hunting with him at least once! Even more exciting than hunting (yes there is such a thing) we are expecting.....ANOTHER NEPHEW!!!! (haha for those few of you that read this...did I get ya hehe) Little baby Lane should be here by the end of this week! I felt so blessed to be able to be such a huge part in Landon's life it is so exciting to have another nephew to spoil rotten and love on! We really are so blessed with our families, our nieces and nephews are so amazing! They are all such big personalities and you can really see that the older they all get!
  That's pretty much a summary of our summer memories, I can't wait to snuggle up in some long pj's to fill you in on what's going on in the York family in a another month or so (yes I am hoping for much, much, MUCH colder weather by the time I update this next!!!) Stay tuned though all of the holidays are coming up which means lot's of pictures and crazy stories!!! (I may sneak another entry in prior to tell you how Connor's 2nd birthday party went since it's coming up this weekend....eeeeekkkk!!!! I have a 2 year old..where did the time go!))))


 Love,
Scott, Brittnee, and Connor

Oh the Goood Ol' Life

You know your one happy girl when everyday no matter how bad the day before was, you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackel the world! God is so good, in so many ways! I couldn't think of anything I'd change about my life. My son is so amazing, you know I seriously don't think a day goes by without Scott or I saying "He's so adorable" or "Scott/Brittnee you have to see your son he's being so cute" or "Ah buddy you light my life up" or "Your so smart!!!" It's just incredible how wonderful he is! He's everything a mom/dad would or could ever want in a child!

Last night he was being his crazy silly self running around the house screaming and playing, and then just randomely he nuzzles himself into Scott's lap and motions for a kiss on his forehead! Ahh like I said...He's adorable!!! He has this new thing where he is becoming VERY independent and loves to do things ALL by himself so we let him of course...so now when I change his diaper he goes into his room and brings you a diaper and then takes his old one to the trash...he's 19 mths old!!! I don't know how I got so blessed with such a perfect little boy but I bow down to God for such a wonderful blessing!!!

If you wanted to read about what else is going on in the York's family, this is that paragraph....I am really enjoying my new job as a Legal Assistant! It's everything I'd hoped it be plus some! I can't begin to tell you how much I'm learning...and getting the opportunity to do! Today I got my certificate to be a Notary which is pretty exctiting! As far as Scott...HE GOT HIRED ON!!! He started his training for his new position Monday and he is enjoying it! This was such a blessing for our family and we couldn't be more grateful for these opportunities! We are just soaking up all the goodness and enjoying our lives together. Scott and I have been so strong, and are coming into a rythm of being married, and I couldn't be more pleased with my husband and all that he does for his little family!

Other exciting events:
   1. This weekend is father's day so I get to spoil Scott with goodies and let him off the hook for a day :)
   2. My parents are visiting for the weekend which means I get to see my daddy on fathers day as well!!! And Connor and his cousing Landon love seing there Meme and Papa!
   3. My seeester's baby shower is coming up in the next couple weeks so I'm pretty stoked about that! It's going to turn out ridiculously cute!!!
   4. We got a little above ground pool so we get to have water fun all summer long!! Pics to be posted at a later date!
   5. Connor went to bed last night with No pacifier and NO milk...just all by himself!!!! HUGE PROGRESS!!!

Anywase, that's it for now! Thanks for reading! Have a great week and weekend!

Brittnee
