He's got style!

I got Max out of the tub this morning and lifted him up so he could see himself in the mirror, and we both just started laughing. I love my boy!

Baby Girrrrl

I'm having the hardest time trying to come up with a name for this new little one. I went shopping yesterday for the first batched of purchased clothing for the little one. I am so excited. It's still so unreal that I'm having a baby, let alone a little girl! Ah! I want a name that's not to common, but no home-made sounding... any suggestions? I am liking "old fashioned" names for some reason.

I think she'll have a big head like Max does. What do ya think? haha

I love her....

I listen to her allll day and don't ever get sick of it! I love all her songs and she's got such a great voice!

My Grandpa Conrow

Douglas Charles Conrow

Douglas Charles Conrow Park City, UT Doug was born January 26th 1936 in Big Timber, MT to John Moore and Ruth Ryan Conrow. He was raised in Butte MT and attended the Universities of Montana and Utah where he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. In 1964 he graduated with honors from the University of Utah masters program in social work and then returned to Montana to provide public welfare services and receive a promotion to the state director of training for the Department of Public Welfare. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) he worked with families of the Shoshone and Bannock tribes on the Ft. Hall, ID Indian reservation where he founded the Ft. Hall Boy's Club and left a piece of his heart with the people there. In 1969 he was recruited as Assistant Director to help found Weber County Mental Health Center in Ogden. In 1977 he became the Executive Director and for the next 11 years Doug was respected for his innovative programs, creative problem solving, and dynamic work environment. He was selected to be one of 25 mental health administrators (from 2000 applicants) to participate in an advanced training program offered by the National Institute of Mental Health. He held the title Diplomat in Clinical Social Work. In 1990 he moved with his family to Salt Lake City, UT where he continued his mental health calling through private practice psychotherapy and the development of programs at Valley Mental Health and the Utah State Department of Corrections. He was especially effective as a counselor in the mental health and women's facilities at the Draper Prison. The common thread throughout his professional career was his belief in leveling the playing field and honoring the value of all humanity. In 1998 he retired to enjoy his family and friends as a resident of Park City, UT. Doug's way of divining the contents of a person's heart and the careful and compassionate wisdom he offered as a mentor will be sorely missed by each and every person who knew him. Rare was the encounter with Doug that did not include his quick wit, easy laugh and generous hug. He had a great passion for lively discussions with friends and family and held to the belief that everything is better when complemented by unusual food and exotic creatures. Doug was a restless and eternal questioner who delighted in the process of critical thought and in continually challenging conventional wisdom. He retained a sense of wonder and excitement at the world around him until the very end. Doug passed away gently in his sleep at his home in Park City on the morning of Wed., Dec 17 2008. He was surrounded by family who sent him on his way filled with love. A lively, old-fashioned, Irish wake and viewing was held at the family home on Saturday, Dec 20. He was well attended by family and friends, gathered to celebrate his life. Doug leaves behind his wife, Nancy, three sons, John Conrow (Big Fork, MT), Mark (Jovita) Conrow (Ogden, UT), Matthew (Michelle) Conrow (Winlock, WA), and daughter Kate Conrow (Salt Lake City, UT), grandchildren, Tairah, Ashlee, Jace, Paige, Bryan, Damon, Chandler, Javier, Omar, Lance and Austin, and five great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Linda (Pat) McKissick and brother Steve Hancock, esteemed family member Dar (Win) Jensen, a circle of lifelong friends and his special feline companion Bronwyn. Doug is preceded in death by his parents. The family would like to give special recognition to all the people who gave such extraordinary care and attention to Doug during his years of unexplained illness and his final battle with pancreatic cancer. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 03, 2009 at 12 noon at Saint Luke's Episcopal Church, 4595 North Silver Springs Drive, Park City, UT 84098 In lieu of flowers, and to honor Doug's commitment to research and helping others. The family requests any donations be made to Huntsman Cancer Institute www.huntsmancancer.org It was the little things in life that made him larger than life.

Set...

He's 2

He 2 already! What the heck? Time is going by way too fast! I attempted to make a bear cake.... ha! He kept calling it a baby and he wanted to hold it. I'm just glad that he's not old enough to criticize it... it didn't turn out how I wanted, but there is always next year. Maybe I'll try it again for Dave. We opened way to many presents. I'm thinking that we should have given him a couple more for Christmas, but oh well you're only 2 once. Not like he'll remember much of it anyway right?


Happy Birthday little Max. We love ya tons!

Merry Christmas

We had a great time this year getting things for Max for Christmas. He had so much fun opening all his presents. He even asked us today if he could open more....

His new "bike ride" that we think he'll grow into in a couple years....

He really loved his new Dino underwear....

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas full of precious memories!
