Cannon - two wheeler club member

I can't believe I forgot this! Cannon slept over at Kris' the other night and learned to ride his bike! Yahoo. I knew uncle Kris was the missing link. Tanner has been on two wheels for a while and bikes are Kris' life and livelihood, so I had high hopes for the sleep over. Cannon was so proud to become a member of the neighborhood two wheel club!

He has been riding nonstop. He is always asking to go on walks so that he can ride.

This is what Cannon does when he is bored. Poor little brother.

What up, Bra!

In Between

Sorry it has been a while. This is the third time I have tried to post this. I have hit some combination of keys that ruins whatever I am doing. Also, my email account was upgraded and I find the new format less usable. So, I haven't been interested in logging on. That said- here is a quick catch up.
Tanner and Cannon playing last week. The grapes have a web and spider. I almost ate that spider! Click the picture to see the friendly spider.

We went swimming last Thursday. Ryan took the day off. Very nice.

Tanner turned 4 on Sunday.

How the boys entertain themselves. Did you ever watch TV upside down?

Ryan is in Washington through the end of the month. Today was the first day I wished he was home to hold Fish for a minute.

I was brave yesterday and took the boys to Journey to the Center of the Earth. It was really good and Fish was even good there!

Today we went swimming-indoors this time. Cannon took his "girlfriend" Ellie. Wonder if she agrees.

Tomorrow I am going to resist going to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Wish me luck.

Saturday it is off to Bear Lake!

See you whenever I come back!

Tanner Week

We have had Tanner this week. I love having him over because he entertains Cannon. Wish I had a 4 year old here all the time for that reason! We have been to the Library, Cousins, Park, and Bowling. Swimming tomorrow. I will try to remember the camera. Just wanted you all to know I wasn't lost!

Independence Day

Thursday night we went to the South Salt Lake fireworks at Granite High. That is always a great show and so close to home.

The night of the 4th we went to a Rodeo!
Cannon needed this hate so he can be Indiana Jones (the closest hat to a fedora that he could find) so he bought it with his birthday money.

Check out this guy- can you tell he is on two horses? He even jumped both through a ring of fire!

Now, he is on bulls! He got them to stand on stands like elephants and jumped one through the fire, too. Crazy! (sorry it is blurry- hard to take a picture with a wiggling baby in arms!)

This is why Ryan is never home anymore. He has built it largely alone.

Lost Blankie Anniversary

Last year on this day Cannon lost his blankie. Luckily we found a replacement. It seems Fisher is following in his brother's footsteps.

Backyard swimming

We spent all day yesterday swimming in my parent's backyard. See the fun?

Girls, Sailors & Canyons

I had a great time out with my aunts and Grandma. We stayed at a Marriott. We ate dinner at Bangkok Thai and then went to the hot tub. Park City is beautiful- I love the Wasatch mountains.

I have been looking for a sailor outfit since I was pregnant with Cannon. I never found one until a few weeks ago. Lucky Fisher!

I wanted to relax on Sunday, so I told Cannon to go find something to do. He became Tatooman.

Millcreek Canyon
We went up Millcreek yesterday to get out of the heat.
