The Latest Addition to the Connor Family
This isnt exactly the way it sounds, the most exciting next addition is comming in April (yep Connor kid #8). This addition happens to be in the form of my mothers birthday present, and the form of a feline. So little Mae-Belle (our new kitten) joined our household last night and is adusting very well. Were all so happy to have her, and we got her free thanks to our good friends the Clarkes!

The Summing up of the End of August
Weeell as we all know Im kind of bad about posting. But let me just tell you how I ended my august this summer.
The next to the last weekend of August, one of my good friends from way back in childhood, Emma Carter (I went to visit her earlier this summer), came and stayed from Friday through Tuesday. It was a blast to have her here.
The day that we disposed of Emma, we got 3 new arrivials. My aunt, and two younger cousins. It was lots of fun to get to see them for a few days, especially because they live in New York and we only get to see them a few times every year.
That saturday we went to Clarksburg (where my grandmother lives) watched a labor day parade wich two of my somehow relitives marched in. Then we went out to Crystal Lake, a small really fishy lake that I refused to swim in. But my little brothers and my cousins (from above^) had a wonderfull time jumping off the divingboards and sliding down the slide. I have a few neat pics of that.... maybey they can come later.....
My labor day was spent out in my backyard in the really hot weather with my brother Trent. All day we put up, took down, looked through, blew up, deflated, patched, and chose like a 8 tents, and about at least 10 air mattresses. I tell you that was a TON of work, but I enjoyed it. The reason (for those of you who dont know) we were looking through all that stuff is because on Sunday (yeeeeesss! this comming sunday) (which is only in like 2 days) we, and about a billion other (okay 25 other) people are loading up to take a nine hour drive to Lewes, Delaware. We will be camping there for a whole WEEK on the beach, in tents, in the sun, with a bunch of great people, including the Howards (Olivia, Emma, Willa, and Mr. Howard), the Hopkins (a ton of people including Ruby), the Bearss (sp???) whom I have yet to meet, Im looking forward to that, the Clarkes (Rachel and fam.) and Me and my Dad, Trent, Joel, and Cal. I actuall have to go now and do some more stuff to be prepared to leave this Sunday at the amazing hour of 6am.

My New Bathing Suit and A Night With the Howards
Sorry, but I dont have pictures of my new bathingsuit yet, mainly because it was only completed less than 12 hours ago. Anywho, my wonderful friend Olivia made this bathingsuit for me, and it will make more sense when I get pictures.
On another note, I stayed last night with the Howards, and we accomplished wearing our new bathingsuits in the shower to test the wet-abiblities, watched Michael Phelps (Go! Go! GO! Phelps!) win yet another gold metal, me and Emma manged to stay up till 2:08, and last but not least, we tied Olivia up without her having a clue. :D

A Weekend With the Clarkes
Bear with me here, I just thought to put these pictures in after I finished the rest of the post, so these should techicly come right after the picture of me in the pokey things, read on to have this make any sense.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

^ My personal fave! no idea how i managed the hair thing...^
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where to start.... Well, lets start with the Breast Feeding Walk. Me and the majority of my family went to the Ohio Valley Mall this past Saturday to support breastfeeding (a particular passion of my mothers) and the Clarkes went too. So I just went home with them Saturday afternoon. Sunday, my family came out to the Clarkes too, and we spent the rest of the afternoon eating and swimming in the pond (we didnt eat in the pond). And of course while I was there, the wonderful Rachel, insisted on a photoshoot at sundown. The following photos are what you get when you hand your camera over to the Clarkes.

Getting Caught Up With My Goings Ons
Since I last posted, I have found my ring, Ruby and Rachel came and spent saturday and some of sunday with me. It was loads of fun. And I really cant remember anthing else news worthy besides that. OH! Emma Howards birthday-tea party-creek romp. Lets just say we had tea, and we were all dressed up for that, THEN, we put on our rattiest clothes, and got covered in smelly water and mud. But oh, was it fun.

A Dream About a Ring
Last night I had a dream (thats a surprise! not) and the funny thing is that my unconscious self, was reminding me of something. So, I only really have one ring, it was my grandmothers, and my mom thinks it was one of her engagement rings. Funny thing is, that it fits me perfectly. Im usually very careful about where the ring is, any who, the dream went something like this~
For some reason I was sleeping on someones floor in a sleeping bag, I had a whole suitcase of stuff with me, but for some reason my ring was under my pillow. I guess I was up doing something else, when I decided to check on the ring. I looked under the pillow and the ring wasnt there! Well, actually it was, it had just been completely dismantled, all the parts were scattered on the floor under the pillow. I became all hysterical, appropriately so, and I dreaded telling my mom what had happened, although I have no idea how it had happened. So I showed it to my other grandmother, but she wasnt anything like my grandmother in real life. And she goes and smacks all the pieces of the ring out of my hand! Then they get lost under a piece of furniture, and I cant find the one big diamond thats still missing. And my grandmother keeps telling me to just forget about it. And all through this Im in tears...
Well, lets just say I now cant find my ring.
