Worms anyone?

Sometimes I wonder how Cannon is still alive. He hardly eats anything, but I think it's mostly because he hates being in his highchair. He will eat anything and everything he finds on the floor, so I was thinking I would just keep my floors super clean and then put his meals on the floor for him to find when he is crawling around:) I took Cannon outside with me to the garden to do some weeding and of course he wanted to eat everything he found: dirt, rocks, grass, etc. At first I kept taking everything away from him when he tried to put them in his mouth, but he would freak out and cry so I thought I would just let him learn that these things really don't taste good, but the problem is he kept putting them in his mouth!



Yummy dirt!


mmmm rocks are good!


Yummy cruchy old sunflowers, my favorite!

Now you would think by the look on his face he wouldn't want to keep eating it, but that wasn't so. (Don't worry, after I took the picture I immediately went and washed his mouth out:)





Luckily I turned my head in time to see him pick this worm up, and yes it was headed for his mouth. I wasn't going to go that far and let him try it, although it may have been a good source of protein for him.





What am I to do with this kid?

Sledding

After all the snow we got last Monday we decided to take Cannon sledding. This was his first time and he loved it! We didn't mess around with any little baby hills either, we went straight to the big hill at Sugarhouse Park!









After sledding we went over to the pond to feed the ducks and geese. These geese are not scared of humans! In fact they are quite aggressive when they know you have something for them to eat. Cannon got a little scared when they got too close to him, and he pretty much just stared at them like they were the weirdest looking creatures he's ever seen!

Murder Mystery Party!

Rachelle put together a Murder Mystery Party. It was a grand old time! Kevin had fun too, even though he left halfway through the game to check on Cannon and I found him passed out asleep by his crib. Mesa had to take over his part for the rest of the game:)

Snowmobiling

A few weeks ago we decided to take snowmobiles up to the cabin for the weekend. It was so cold up there the first night, I seriously thought I was going to die! Now I consider myself to be a pretty tough gal, but when it comes to being cold, I will be the first to admit I am a complete wimp! The inside of the cabin stayed about 30 degrees the first night, but by the second day we got it warmed up to where I could tolerate it.

Cannon didn't seem to mind the cold, but I also had him dressed in like 20 layers and had the heater facing his crib at night.

Mesa loved driving the snowmobiles!

Kim and her friend Ryan came up for one night. It was fun to have them there!


Cannon took a face dive in the snow about one minute before this picture was taken, hence the pissed off look on his face.



Hangin by the fire





Cannon loves the snow!



We couldn't let the trip go by without a little target shootin.
