Canyon's 3 1/2 Birthday Party

Canyon's new Harley Davidson Scooter.
We have been celebrating Canyon's Birthday on his half year because the day after Christmas is just too much!

Here it is...Canyons water bounce slid..... We don't mess around!

Jer & Carson got Canyon his much wanted Batman Costume. The wings are a little intimidating (they have a rip cord and a 5 foot wing span)!
Canyon & Devon

Canyon's First Soccer Game Ever!!

Daddy giving Canyon a pep talk. (He scored a goal for the wrong team)
We discovered that he is more interested in how he looks on the field than keeping his eye on the ball. Dustin is blaming me for that one...I just wanted to make sure he had soccer shoes, socks, shorts and shin gaurds what's wrong with that?

The first Soccer game is definatley a milestone for Dustin and I. Dustin has been waiting 3 1/2 years to watch his son compete in sports. (they don't really keep score but all you dads know what I mean) It's funny to see all the dads close to the sidelines instructing thier kids to "kick the ball...no the other way....the other way!!!" For the most part the kids don't really listen..I actually think the more you yell to do something the more distracted they are.

Canyon's team scored a goal!!

Lake Powell

I love Lake Powell!!

Canyon with Cousin Matt

Me & Mel

Two Peas in a Pod

Canyon's Cousin Frankie came to visit and what do you know they had the same shirts on!! They aren't really related but you would never know.

If you notice their shirts read "Here comes trouble" which is perfect for Canyon....I'm thinking Frankie is in the same boat!

Canyon has now adopted the Mohawk from Frankie...it is much easier to do thanks Marla!
My not so related cousins Marla and Brianna, which is funny becasue they are really the only ones I talk to!!

*Olivia*Canyon*Lyla*

What a great Big Brother he would make!!

Ohhhhhhhhh Love them!!

Favorites

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of Canyon Lee, thought I would share it.

Bedtime?

Canyon's bedtime is 8:30 PM which is when I put him to bed. Like a good Mom, I always check on him before I go to bed around 11:30PM. This is what I walked into...notice the tool box spread open with all his tools out. Not to mention the fire truck(which he has been trying to fix ever since Dad took the batteries out months ago), can't forget the crane operator. Now you know that you can't work on your toys without your shop glasses!!
How can you be mad at that face?

Yard Work!

I tried to keep Canyon inside just long enough to let Dustin get started with the Bobcat. It only took a minute for Canyon to hear it and say "Mom I'm going outside with my dad in the tractor!!" I was lucky to get him changed out of his P.J.'s and snap one picture (only because the door was locked) before he got outside!
Canyon waited with Ziggy for his turn on the Bobcat with Dad.
After a long weekend of working hard to do the final grade, move gravel, sand and rocks we called it a day! Not to metion Canyon's sunburn which he reminded me of this morning when he woke up felling the burn on his cheeks. "Mom you forgot to put sunscreen on me!"
