Good Times at the Cabin

I was excited to take Cannon up to the cabin this year because last summer he was too young to care about anything, but this time he had a blast! He immediately wanted to go see the horses and loved everyone's dogs, he pretty much is obsessed with all animals! He loved just walking around and exploring and playing with all his cousins.

Memorial Day Weekend

We went camping over Memorial Day weekend. This was the second weekend camping in a row folks, and camping with a 14 month old isn't the easiest thing in the world so I'm quite proud of myself. But really, it was a lot of fun and we had a sweet camp spot in this meadow next to a stream and there was no one else around. It did rain on us most the night but we still stayed toasty warm inside the tent. Kevin's sister Kimberly came with us too, so that made it extra super fun:)Kev and Kim settin up the tent

Cannon loved playing around the campsite. There were lots of new kinds of rocks, sticks and dirt to chew on.

If you haven't already seen this, you must! I think it's like the second most watched video on YouTube right now! John Schmidt and Stephen Nelson are both so talented, this arrangement is awesome! Remember to turn off my music at the bottom of the page first.

Moon Lake

Last weekend we went to Moon Lake. We took a canoe across the lake to our campsite, the same one we went to a couple years ago. Cannon loved the canoe and the water, he just hated wearing his lifejacket! I didn't do much paddling because I had to restrain Cannon from constantly trying to jump overboard into the lake, so Mesa and Kevin did most the paddling!

Cannon finally gave up trying to escape, so he fell asleep on Kevin's lap.

Cannon playing in the lake. He loved it until he started to crawl out further and it got deeper and colder.

Cannon's adventures with water

I thought these videos were funny so I wanted to post them. The first one is Cannon being spastic in the bathtub like he always is and the second one is of him drinking from Kevin's camelback hose.

Mesa the snake

Mesa was in The Jungle Book play at her school. She played the part of a snake and did a really good job!

Cannon was so excited to see Mesa afterwards. He actually was really good, he sat and watched the entire play!

Please tell me you didn't eat that!

So I'm not a 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure Cannon ate a dead bird fetus. Wow, I never thought I'd start a post like that! Yesterday I was working in the garden with Cannon by my side, doing the normal things he does, dig in the dirt, eat the dirt, and the rocks, grass, sticks, etc. I came across this tiny little dead bird fetus just about an inch long. I left it on a little shovel and put it on the other end of the garden because I wanted to show Kevin when he got home from work. I kind of forgot about it as the time went on, and about an hour later I noticed Cannon was on the other side of the garden playing with the shovel the bird was on. I immediately ran over to him and that little bird was nowhere to be found! I looked all over, dug in the dirt around that area to see if he buried it, but nope that little bird was long gone. I could only think of one explanation and that is that he ate it. I have been looking for any sign of sickness (salmonella perhaps?) but it has been almost 24 hrs and he is acting just fine, no diarrhea or vomiting so I figure he's okay!? Wow, I feel like such a winner of a mom, I can't get my kid to eat anything normal all day, but the least I could do is just prevent him from eating a dead bird fetus!

Real Soccer Game

Last night we went to the Real soccer game. We were lucky to have tickets in one of the Suites thanks to our friends Josh and Brenda. Cannon actually liked watching the game, and all the action and excitement. But he mostly liked playing with his buddy Max in the Suite.
