My Little Cannon is 4 months!!!

I cannot believe Cannon is 4 moths already...very sad. But he is getting to be so so much fun..
here are his stats for his checkup..
weight: 12 pounds 11 oz....5%
head: 25%
Length: 25 in 50%

The Dr said he is right where he should be considering he was 4 weeks early..so really he is only 3 months old. Cute little fella!!

Some things he likes to do....

* He has recently found his hands, and loves to chew on them and slobber all over them.
* He loves his Mommy...(very much)
* He is quite the little mover, he kicks and kicks and kicks
* He loves to tell stories he will talk to you for a long time, as long as you talk back
* He has the cutest smile EVER
* He has laughed a little tiny laugh a couple times, but we are working on it
* He likes to lay in his bed and look at his mobile. I think its his quiet time, Hallie and Tracen get noisy.
* He has figured out that the carseat isnt much fun.
* He loves his cereal bottle at night, I out pears in it and he will guzzle 7 ounces
* He sleeps 12 hours a night...:)
* His first nap of the day he will take in his bed but the rest of them he has to be in the swing..
* He loves his brother and his sister
* Just the last few days he has a new cry...its almost a scream, and that one is definetely a "PISSED OFF CRY"
* He likes the bumbo, but doesnt LOVE it.
* He loves to sit with his daddy on the chair and watch football.
* He isnt a fan of tummy time, but we make him do it anyway.. sad
* Everytime he gets his bum changed he smiles and talks the whole time...never fails
* He likes to be at home...
* He drinks 5 ounces every 3 hours
* He is such a good boy and so happy all the time.

We love our little Cannon so so much...he brings so many smiles into our home.
Here are some pics I took the day he turned 4 months!!

Gardner Village 2010

SO for the last 2 or 3 years we have been going to see the witches at gardner village, for Halloween. My whole family, all my nieces and nephews, aunts uncles and grandma and grandpa..its such a fun time. I love it there, its so pretty and the kids seem to have a good time. There are lost of pics I have posted so Im not going to put a capture under all of them, just enjoy looking. Last year they had a maze and the kids were excited to do it this year, but of course they didnt have it...isnt that the way it goes, you like something so they dont keep it.
I love all my nieces and nephews so so much, thanks for spending a few hours with us kiddos!!!

Tracens Transportation and Hallies Art Work

Tracen has so many modes of transportation...and he uses ALL of them! Here he is with his big boy bike that he got for his 3rd birthday


He loves it and he is so good at riding it.



And here he is on his scooter that Grandma Jill gave him for his birthday. He loves it too.

And his little bike that he got for his 2nd birthday...


And his very little 4-wheeler that he got for his 2nd christmas...its electric, but I dont charge it anymore cause he is to big for it so he just gets a good run at it coming down the driveway..he obviously really likes it still.

Hallie came home from school the other day with papers that she had colored. I took one look at them and asked her who helped her. Noone helped her she did them all by herself..they are so so good. Im so proud of her and how well she is doing in school!!

HaLLieS FirST DaY OF FirST GraDe!!

I cannot believe my baby girl is in first grade...that means she is gone ALL DAY... It is totally bitter sweet for me...
Here she is getting ready to leave for school...


On our way......

And we were a minute late...haha, on the first day!! She did so good and I know she loves her teacher Mrs. Banks and she is enjoying making new friends, but I really really know she likes school lunch. When she got home from school on her first day, she RAN in the door and said to me, "mom, I had a WONDEFUL day at school, I love it." then she proceeded to tell me how much she liked her lunch..I remember HATING school lunch, but they have definetely improved and the kids get way better lunches now.

Im so happy for you Hallie, I love you very much...;)

DInner up Spring Canyon!! One of My favorite Places to be :)

One of my favorite places to be is up Spring Canyon, where I spent atleast 3 out of the 7 days a week with my cousins and grandparents having picnics, looking for frogs, going on walks, 4-wheeling, basically anything you can do in the mountains.. I absolutely LOVED it, and I still do. I just dont get to be up there as much as I would like, but I do want my kids to enjoy being up there as much as I did...
Here is Hallie, Maddie, and Brooke, being models...


Hallie and Maddie..:)

Tracen was in Heaven...he found sticks and pretended they were guns. Love him in the cowboy hat!

Tyler and Hallie were up to something....

Brother Shane and his fam were camping so they had their dog Harley...(I think cuz shane was scared of "bears" so he brough Harley to bark if something was outside.)

Brooke was playing with him.


The "toothless cousins"

Cannon slept the whole time, but I know he will enjoy it when he gets older.

OVERLOAD OF PICTURES! SUMMIT COUNTY FAIR 2010

There is an overload of pics I know...but I love it! Here is Brandt and Tracen practicing to ride the sheep and the Little Buckaroo...Brandt practiced with Hallie when she did it and she always ended up doing really well..and guess what It worked with Tracen too, he did so so good riding his sheep!!


Pretty sure Brandt is the best daddy ever!!! He is pretending to be a "buckin" sheep

Hallie just before we went to the Little Buckaroo..she was seriously so nervous for Tracen to ride. She didnt want him to do it at all.

Tracen with Grandpa Tracy eating an icee...he was so excited to ride the sheep, but he had to wait for awhile.

Grandma Jill, Cannon, (at his first Buckaroo) and Hallie

Brooke absolutely LOVES Cannon!!!!

This is the only pic I got of him riding cause I was just to excited of how well he did..he is on there holding on for dear life...When Brandt let go, the sheep took off and it actually BUCKED with Tracen on him, and he held on the entire time!!!

SHOOT!!!! Here are the results of the "buckin sheep"

I was so proud of him, but I was so sad that he got hurt..


Daddy brought him back to his seat...he was still pretty scared. He said he is never going to ride a sheep again..but he did say he would ride a CALF!!! Um No, that is where mom draws the line.


Brandt telling him how good he did...


You can kind of tell in this pic that his poor nose was starting to swell...Good thing it wasnt broke!


After he got all calmed down he was so ready to do the stick horse!!



YEAH BUDDY!!!! He got 3rd place in his age group for riding the sheep so well!!! I was so happy for him, He got this trophy and a ribbon!!! Good JOb BUD!


Hallie was happy for him too..but she kept on asking why she never got a trophy when she used to ride...Im guessing its because her sheep didnt BUCK!!!


Here is Maddie and Cannon at the parade on the last day of the fair!!!


Tracen ended up getting sick after the buckaroo with a really bad cold, but because he had such a sore nose due to the sheep, it was hard to wipe his nose cause it just kept on pulling the scab off, and then it would bleed and bleed. Poor little fella was pretty miserable!

But he still had a good time catching candy at the parade.


Hallie got to be in the parade with her dance group!! She loves dancing!


Im pretty sure she was hot and tired!!! BUt still pretty dang cute!

Grandma Jill trying to get a pic of Hallie but the little stinker kept hiding from her.


Then she had to dance at the grandstand entertainment later on in the day...she did such a good job!!!



I couldnt get very good pictures cause of the stupid rails and stuff...

SHe has such cute dances..I love watching her!

We had so much fun at the fair this year..We didnt do the pet fest but we did the cookie decorating contest and the sccavenger hunt, but Hallie and Tracen had alot of fun. Im so proud of my sheep rider and my dancer!!! Love my kids...Now what to put Cannon in when he gets bigger....
