Cannon's 1st Haircut

Well i think we have a new tradition. On Memorial Day weekend all of my boys including Bryan get the Summer Haircut (shaved). This happens to be Cannon's 1st haircut. He is a blondie now! It is so funny how each kid is different. Dax had his 1st haircut at 4 months and Cannon at almost 11 months. Hopefully his hair will come back in and not so fine.

Camping at Valley of Fire

We invited ourselves at the last minute to go camping with Bryan's brother and his family. My nephew Drake decided that we should camp at Valley of Fire... instead of Mt. Charleston. He was my favorite nephew at some times and not so much at other times (i liked him at night because it wasn't that cold, but during the day it was HOT). All in all we had a blast! All Dax can talk about is camping. So he is really excited for when we going camping on the beach this month. Thank goodness these boys feel asleep on the way there.

I can't believe how old Cannon is getting. In July he will be a year.

This is how we roll. If we have another kid we will not be able to sleep in the truck anymore. Which i love because we are up off the ground. Bryan and I sleep in the bed of the truck and cannon sleeps in the 2nd seat and Dax sleeps in the front seat on a air mattress.

My sister in law Tara washing so dishes. I probably should be helping her instead of taking this picture.

After the boys got their PJ's on it was play time on mommy and daddy's bed.

Dax wasn't to happy when i told him we had to leave.

Cannon is the BEST baby ever. I would just put him in here and he would play for hours.

We packed up our campsite and drove to Mouse's Tank for a hike

Car Seats-Picnics-Bike Rides

My mother and father in law found this bike trailer for the kids at a garage sale and got it for FREE. Bryan and his dad put together these motor bikes. Dax LOVES to ride with him, when they came back Dax said "mom we go FAST".

I think this is how it goes

We decided to try this Chicago Pizza place by our house. It is called Rosati's... let's just say DELICIOUS!!!

A week ago we went to my dads company picnic at Sunset Park. Dax and Bryan didn't get to stay to long. That evening they went with our ward to Armagosa Valley for the Father and Sons camp out. Cannon and I stayed at the park for all the festivities. They had yummy food, jumpy houses, clowns and live music. This is my nephew Treyson part of the clown act.

Cannon and I hanging out. The weather was beautiful.

The kids loved the jumpy houses

This is the best picture i could get of Dax in his new suit. We made him wear it last Sunday before the weather gets to hot.

Tonight Cannon hit his head on the kitchen table and started to cry. I thought nothing of it until i saw his forehead. He has a nice goose egg on his forehead the size of a quarter. I am not ready for these kind of things with two boys. If they are anything like my husband we will be visiting the Quick Care a lot!

Cannon has been army crawling everywhere. This past week he has mastered the real crawl, but he also thought he would make up for lost time and decided to start pulling himself up. Right now there are only a couple of places he does it... his crib (now we need to lower it again), the bathtub and at my mothers couch.

This kid was getting to heavy to carry in the infant car seat and he was also to big for it. Well i guess i can't call him a baby anymore... he is in a big car seat!

So Dax got a new car seat which he loves because he has more movement. I decided to get a car seat that goes up by the head because my kids like to fall asleep in the car every time we get into it.

Mary Jane Falls Hike

Ok- so these pictures are way out of order, but we went to Mary Jane Falls probably over a month ago for a hike. It was lots of fun. Dax had a blast...he walk a lot of it. On the way down right before you get to the parking lot on level ground i decide to trip and fall. My new capri's took the most of the beating along with my knee, but at least Cannons head didn't hit the ground. He came really close, but i saved him and he stayed asleep in the snugly on my chest.

now that i look at this picture it doesn't look half as bad as it did in person.

Bryan and the boys at the top

At the top of Mary Jane Falls there were lots of snow still. You also had to be careful where you sat at the top because the sun was melting the ice and snow and from time to time it would fall to the bottom where you sat at the end of the hike.

Dax had to pick up almost every pine cone he could get his hands on.

1st Cleaning and New Flowers

So i decided the other day that i haven't done any pictures of Cannon since he was 4 months. Now he is 9 going on 10 months. Where has the time gone. We just bought some new flowers for our front door...so i decided to take pixs of them. So here is Cannon's 9 month pixs! He sits up on his own, he talks up a storm, army crawls, loves real food (doesn't want anything to do with the baby mush) and just makes us smile all the time. I love him so much.

Dax also wanted to be part of the fun.

Dax had his first teeth cleaning. He did so well ( I think it helped that it was Aunt Dea) a little nervous at first, but he laid there and let her polish, do a fluoride treatment and even let her scrap some plaque off of his teeth. His favorite part was sucking the water out of his mouth. I am so proud of him.

Easter and Everything else

Easter was a lot of fun this year. Dax finally understands how to do the Easter egg hunts. Cannon just loved playing with Easter basket wrappings. We went to both sides of the family and ate so much we couldn't see straight. This next picture is a lemon blueberry cake i made.

I tried getting a new pix of the boys ... it is really hard.

Dax and Papa did the Easter egg coloring together and had so much fun.

Angel food cupcake with cream cheese frosting that had pineapple in it. YUMMY!
