Cannon's first Christmas!

On Christmas Eve Cannon wore his Santa Clause Outfit.

Cannon loves his cousins.

Ellie just couldn't contain her love for Cannon. He was cool with it, as long as she still let him play with her shoelaces.

On Christmas morning opening his first present, snow boots!

But what he was really excited about was this motorcross outfit Kevin gave him.

Then Grandma and Grandpa came over with more presents, wooden puzzles..

And this car he likes to ride in his motorcross outfit.

My sister in law Sarah took these amazing pictures of us a few weeks ago. These are just a few of the many favorites I have. Thanks again Sarah!!

Thanksgiving in Parma

We had a grand old time in Parma for Thanksgiving this year. This was the first time Cannon had been there so Kevin was excited to show him his old stomping grounds.

On the drive up there, Kevin got a little tired so we decided to let Cannon drive for a while.

I took this picture of Cannon as he was watching Kevin and Jeff try to untangle the dirt bike from the grape vines just after Jeff decided to flip it and ram it head on into the vines, with Ellie on the back mind you. Oh how I wished I would have got it on video.

Kevin made me...yes, he made me ride this little dirt bike on a little adventure around the hills of Parma with him and his cousin Scott (Okay I guess it was pretty fun, even though I fell off going about 2 mph).

HOW BOUT THEM UTES!!

Martin Sexton Concert

Last night Kevin and I went to the Martin Sexton concert at The Depot with Kimberly and her friend Ryan. This guy really puts on a killer concert. I really like his style of music, it's like folk/rock/blues all mixed together. You can listen to a sample below, just turn off the playlist at the bottom of the page first. You can also check out http://www.martinsexton.com/. Besides listening to some great tunes, we were highly entertained by everyone's halloween costumes. A few favorite's were: Lt. Jim Dangle from Reno 911, Borat, a girl who wore cowboy chaps with spandex underneath, and the joker dressed up in a sexy nurse outfit who we thought was a guy, and then thought it was a girl (a manly one), but then concluded that it was a guy (thank goodness!). We were also entertained by the sweet dance moves that were displayed by all the drunk people. Good times!

Halloween!

For our family Halloween party we decided to dress up as a theme around Cannon's Pea Pod costume, so I decided to be a carrot and Kevin was a farmer with jacked up teeth.

I put 2 bottles of Elmers glue and a half a bottle of gel in my hair. (Thanks Kim for giving me the idea from your troll costume last year, and for coming over and helping me perfect my hair:)

Pictures of My Little Pea Pod

We had a million leaves in our front yard. I thought it would be cute to take a picture of Cannon in the huge pile. He was okay with it at first...

But then I think he felt like he was being swallowed up by the leaves!

BYU Game

Last Weekend we went to the BYU game against UNLV with some of Kevin's family. Jared, Jeremy, Janette and Brian and Renae came into town for the weekend. It was so good to see everyone! Thanks for hangin with us at our house! Please come again soon, hopefully next time our basement will be finised so our house is more visitor friendly! Well, The game was a good one, and BYU did win! I'm cool with cheering for BYU, but I must clarify that on Nov. 22 I will be wearing RED! GO UTES! (Please don't shun me out of the Bake family).

After the game we went to Dave and Marnae's where I took this precious picture of Henry and Cannon.
