Lillian's Blessing

We blessed Lillian last sunday at my parents house.  Kevin gave a wonderful blessing and she was so good the whole time.  I was a little worried that she would cry, but she just looked around at everyone.  Kevin's parents came down from Idaho for the occasion which was nice!

HALLOWEEN

For Halloween this year Cannon was a spider and Lily was a ladybug.  Since they were both insects, kevin and I decided last minute to dress up as bug catchers.  Of course Kevin had to put his fake teeth in to complete his costume.

"Come get some candy little kids!"

2 Months Old!

My little sweet Lillian is 2 months old today!  I cannot believe how fast this time has gone with her.  Seriously, how do I slow time down?  She loves to smile at anyone who will pay attention and talk to her!  She is happy as can be as long as she is being held (don't even think of putting her down:)  She will, however sit in her swing, or infant seat as long as I am in her sight the whole time and I stop and talk to her every minute or so.  This girl LOVES attention.  I don't mind though, because I'm sure I will miss this when she is a teenager and wants nothing to do with me:)

Cannon is such a good brother!  He is always putting his arm around Lily, patting her head, and holding her hand.  He always wants her to play with him and says "Baby Yiyee (Lily, he can't say L's) play cars"  or "Baby Yiyee play blocks with me."  I have to explain that she is too little to play, but soon she will be able to.  I hope they will be good friends!



Do they or don't they?

The majority of people have said they don't think Cannon and Lily look alike. But from day one I have seen glimpses of Cannon in her. I took this picture of her yesterday, and when I looked at it, it reminded me of Cannon at this age, so what do you think?

Jackson Hole and Yellowstone

We went to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone Park a couple weeks ago.  Kevin had a one day job in Jackson so we spent one night and the next day there, and then went to Island Park, Idaho and stayed in this cabin that belongs to this nice lady that Kevin has done work for.  From there it was only abot a 20 min drive to Yellowstone so we spent a day there.  It was such a nice little weekend getaway.

The day before we left Cannon got stung by a bee under his eye.  This is his third bee sting he has gotten.  The kid does not learn to leave bees alone.

The Steakhouse in Jackson had a bunch of animals that Cannon loved

Kevin and Mesa

I can't look at this picture without laughing

This is right by the cabin we stayed at
