Philip and Jaime Connor

Recently, Phil and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary. Big, huh? It has been a pretty fantastic ten years. We have had some tough separations thanks to the Navy, but we have gotten through it and come out better on the other side. Here are some of the highlights of the past ten years: March 24, 2000- The beginning July 26, 2001- Nathan December 15, 2003- Joslyn March 15, 2007- Caleb February 21, 2009- Chase Thanks to the Navy, we get to move around the country quite a bit. It has been very enjoyable to live in different places and meeting different people. We started our married life in Charleston, South Carolina (no that wasn't our house). Phil was there going to school for the Navy. We lived there for two and a half years and really enjoyed it! Next we moved to Salt Lake City, Utah so that Phil could attend the University of Utah. We lived there for three years and loved being close to family. Then we moved back to South Carolina. We bought our first house. ...

Caleb's birthday was on March fifteenth. Caleb had been telling me for months that he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheeses for his birthday, so since we let our kids pick what they want to eat on their birthdays, we packed up the car and off we went. We had a great time. I'm not terribly fond of their pizza, but the kids like it and they love the games and mini rides. Caleb had an absolute ball. He ran around from game to game, getting tickets and laughing all the way. We brought his presents with us so he got to open them after we ate. Thanks to the Grandparents and Heather for gifts they sent. Then we went home and had some chocolate cake (I must have something for chocolate cakes, yummy!) Opening Presents Mmmmmmm, chocolate cake!

In February, Chase turned one year old. Can you believe it? He is such a big boy. He is wonderful and sweet and squishy and snuggly. He is the perfect addition to our little family and we have all been enriched by his presence in our home. Here are some of the highlights from his party.
