Way back on June 9th Connor had a birthday, which we did celebrate. We even got him presents! When I was shopping for him I called him and asked "What is the one thing you will be the most disappointed if you don't receive?" Any Guesses? Well he got it, and you can see it in the (unfortunately poor quality) pictures below.

| Connor's presents wrapped in Toy Story Christmas wrapping paper. We almost exclusively use only the finest left over Christmas paper for birthdays -- unless we use comics. |
 |
| Derek, Kayli, Trisa, and Dan with what looks to be laser vision. |
 |
| Here it is. The one thing Connor wanted more than anything else -- and it's not the Batman hat. It's the Panda Pillow Pet. Connor is somewhat obsessed with Pandas. He does like the Batman hat Kayli got him, but he informed me that he had been asking for that pillow pet for 18 months and hadn't gotten it yet. Poor Connor. |
 |
| The loved Pillow Pet, and the Harry Potter puzzle that Jake thoughtfully gave him, and Derek is thoughtfully holding on his shoulder. If there is one thing he likes as much as Panda's (or maybe even more) it's Harry Potter! He does love people more than things. |

| Connor and his loot. |

| Connor and his fellow Batman Hat wearers. Have I mentioned that most everyone in my family claims to be Batman? It's really kind of hard for my lovely girls to be Batman, but they still like to wear Batman hats and help people when they can. Trisa is on the left, and Kayli is on the right. |
The whole family was actually present for this occasion. Tia came from Provo and Travis was here with Trisa. Connor's 18 birthday only happens once! Connor is a good son, and a good person. My favorite is when he is laughing with his siblings. They can be very fun and entertaining at times! Connor chose lasagna for his dinner (that seems to be the most popular birthday dinner here) and brownies and homemade peach ice cream for dessert.
Being 18 and out of high school can be a bit stressful, but I am confident that Connor will do well. Happy 18 to Connor!
