A Very Special Day

A long but beautiful day full of laughter, smiles, firsts, and so much JOY! Morning Art

Canyon's new fort he wanted to sleep in last night.

Yes, he is really that big!

Sawyer admiring his brothers masterpiece.

My boys

We went to Estes Park today to ride on the bike trail and had such an amazing day. This is Sawyer's first time in a swing. He loved it! We still can't get Canyon to swing.

We found this fun park on our route and had to stop and play!

So much fun!

Surrounded by beauty!

Lovin the swing!

Greg's dream came true today when Canyon rode his bike for the first time!

Riding around the lake.

Canyon was so rowdy! He rode his bike for 2 miles...seriously he was in love.

He was so excited to show his brother his new skill.

One proud daddy!

Although it was SLOW moving, I enjoyed every minute of it!

His off roading skills.

Serious rider!

Taking a water break.

Wrenching on his new bike tonight when we got home. He had to put on his "bike" shoes in order to do this:) Great Day!

Rice Cereal

My brother experimented with Rice Cereal and I have to say he's in need of some practice. He had fun rubbing himself in it but not so sure he ate any of it.

Not a big fan.

Eating took so much effort for my brother that it put him right to sleep.

I enjoyed a magazine while watching my brother eat.

(Canyon woke up, grabbed a magazine, climbed in his chair and started reading...totally random and hilarious!)

August Adventures

I just got back from a mini vacation to South Dakota.

Visiting the Presidents is pretty serious so it's important to look the part. Mom and Dad took me to the Kangaroo Ranch! This is my friend Joey.

This is Joey's daddy.

I also got to pet some wallaby's.

Whenever I see flowers I pick them for my mommy!

This is downtown Deadwood SD. I think mom and dad found it interesting but ME...

not so much.

Taking a break listening to daddy tell me all about Wild Bill...again...not so interesting:)

And Butch Cassidy the Sundance Kid...hmmm...NOPE...don't really care about that either.

Now this is what I call interesting. Playing play dough with my cousins!

I did think these faces on the rock where pretty cool.

Turns out they are famous Presidents...who would've known!

Baby Sawyer was also on this trip although he is usually attached to mom in some fashion so photo ops are few and far between for him.

My most favorite memory was seeing the 1880's train.

I love trains and hope I can ride on a real one some day!

The only train I could climb on.

Fun at the hotel

Bath time at home

My favorite brother!

Cleaning up a mess!

Making a mess!

Visiting Grandma Cannell

Playing at the park

Sawyers fun time!

Sawyer's 4 Month Celebration

It's hard to believe Sawyer is 4 months old today!

We decided to make the trip to Rocky Mountain National Park today and went on a little hike around Sprague Lake.

Beautiful boy...Beautiful View We decided to hike to the lake even though you can drive right up to it...it took away from the adventure and we didn't want to be tourists:)

Family Shot

Taking a break to have a picnic

Daddy making us laugh!

It's very common to see elk in the park. This one was a giant!

On the way home we saw Big Horn Sheep in the Canyon. We even got a picture of two mating but didn't think it was appropriate for the blog:)

4 Month photo shoot

Sawyer had his 4 month checkup on Wednesday and he is off the charts for his height and his weight. He is already 19 lbs! His head was in the 75th percentile.

Canyon had his 2 year check up and is in the 50th for weight, 85th for height and his head is still off the charts:)
