Canon's first trip to the beach!!

Boy is he a boy! While the girls ran for the water, Canon was mesmerized by the feel of the sand on his feet, in his hands, and in his mouth. We couldn't get him to be excited about the waves, he just wanted to sit down in the sand and play with it.
By the third day, I just let him go. When we were ready to leave, we stripped him down, poured a gallon of warm water all over him, put on a new diaper, and wrapped him up for the ride to the motel. He was asleep by the time we hit the interstate. :)

Our October break trip to San Diego.

I found my camera cord!!!

Yeah!!! I found my camera cord...so I'll be getting more posts up as long as my computer cooperates!!

Everyone at our house wanted to run for student body offices this year.

They were allowed 3 posters each but Mom only had the creativity and time for 2 posters each.

The speeches went well, there were a lot of kids running, but I'm so proud of the girls for having the gumption to even try.

Aubree was elected as Jr. High Secretary. Rylee was elected as the elementary school Historian. And although Kiersten didn't get the vote for elementary Secretary, she was nominated by her teacher and the vice principal to be her class representative. :)

I'm not being lazy...I have taken tons of pictures within the last few weeks but I can't upload them because I lost the cable that goes from my camera to the computer!!! I've looked for it everyday, but haven't found it yet. There is much to blog, but no pictures. So everyone send your prayers and positive energy so I can find that cable and stop tearing my house apart!

More Halloween costume suggestions for Canon

Or maybe he can be the Mad Hatter (role reprised by Johnny Depp). You don't get that with one shake of the head!!

What do you think? :)

Do you think Canon should be Superman for Halloween? lol

In an effort to blog more regularly, kind of like keeping a journal, Monday is going to be my day to blog. Hopefully Canon will stay on some kind of a schedule so I can get this done without him trying to eat my camera!

So this was an outing we did during the summer. Actually, we did this on Aug. 22nd, the last Fri. the girls were out of school and Scott had the day off. We thought we'd have one last adventure before school started. We kayaked Tempe Town Lake. This picture is underneath the rail road and light rail tracks. It was pretty cool.

The girls were a little tired when we were done, but the experience is invaluable. And we get to spend time together. :)

"Can we go now!!??"

We love kayaking as a family. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us borrow the kayaks anytime we want!!
