September birthdays

 

We had a celebrity at our birthday celebration for September, (it's the one in the dark glasses!) He was getting ready for his dancing debut later in the evening. Below is a sneak peak of our star!

Every time I watch it it makes me smile :)

In September we have 4 birthdays! Livy's is on the 21st, and we missed having her at our party!

Evan's is on the 29th! ( I forgot to take pictures of all of the birthday celebrants so here is some of my favorite pics of them!

Kace's birthday is on the 13th! He was my hiking buddy!

and Rachel's is on the 20th, she is my other hiking buddy!

Now, pictures of all the rest of us who were there.  The swing was a big hit with everyone.

I think McKenly could swing all day.

and of course little Trevor loved it too.

McKenly's next favorite thing was being next to baby Traegan.

 

It was a fun night and I am still smiling about this cute little guy.

 

Guess what I did today??

 

I got to hold my 14th grandchild!! ( love my blue gum!)

 

Isn't he the sweetest little thing you ever did see!

 

He weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. and he was 19.5 inches long.

 

He was a little cold so the best remedy for that is skin to skin, and yes he did warm up.

 

so cute.

 

Jessica you did a great job and Mac you did great as well, especially finishing that last final 2 hours afte he was born.

 

Already love this little guy.

 

Grandma, what are you doing?

 

Can see Mac's lips, Jessica's nose, a very cute combination.

 

Happy Birthday to the 2 birthday kids, yes, they were both born on May 1st!

 

Love this one and love that Jessica finally took a nap.

 

What an exciting day, love having another grand baby!!

February is over!

 

The month passed quickly and it is March!  We had a couple of birthdays in March, the first was Carson and he turned eleven!  (Does he ever make me feel old.)  He is going to pass up his Grandma in height, it will be interesting to see how soon that will be. Carson is the peacemaker in his home and he loves basketball, that is what he wanted most for his birthday, (a basketball). He also wanted a suit but because he is growing so fast I think he will probably get it next year when he is 12.

 

It is nice to have Rainee so close to Ryan's work because sometimes when we just don't feel like going home we will spend the night.  This is usually the nightly ritual, snuggling with Grandpa.

 

We had to get the whole bunch in this picture, though some look like they are a little disinterested.

 

This usually happens when she finally holds still.

 

We also celebrated Doug's birthday and if Carson makes me feel old, Doug makes me feel even older!

 

He got this as a surprise, a seventy incher!  I still can't believe that Rainee got it into the house all by herself without Doug knowing.

 

Yes, Doug has many candles on his cake and many helpers to blow them out.

 

Get ready, get set, go!

 

McKinly, would probably take all night to blow all of these out.

 

Her on the table, half dressed so reminds me of when my kids did the same.

 

Happy Birthday Carson and Doug!

It was great!

McKenly's birthday

 

We went and celebrated McKenly's birthday on her birthday but I haven't got around to posting these pictures, they are from my phone and I kind of forgot about them. Then I remembered the jumbo pizza and I thought I better show you.  Rainee had ordered this jumbo pizza and Doug thought they needed 2 so she ordered two.  I went with her to pick the pizza's up and I wish I would have had my camera ready when she came out the Salt City Pizza door. I started laughing out loud because the boxes were HUGE!

 

See what I mean... they were huge!

 

The boys thought so too!

 

Because the pizza is so huge, the slice you get is over a foot long!

 

McKenly was happy with all of her domestic toys.

 

She loves to clean and she loves to shop! (She must be a girl!)

 

She loves cookie monster so here is her cake.

 

The cake was trying not to fall over, but she didn't care.

 

We had a hard time keeping everyone from helping to blow out the candles.

 

She finally did it with her spit blow.

 

These pictures are actually from Christmas but because I got them off of my phone I thought they were pretty cute.

 

This was a toilet game that the Cannon's got and it was pretty funny to watch. (Don't you love Grandpa's and Ryan's head gear!)

 

It is kind of hard to get the marbles and put them in the toilet bowl and the toilet bowl randomly flushes, so you might get a face full.

 

Christmas is about games.

 

The Cannon boys all got some jamming guitars so Grandpa had to try them out.

 I am starting to get back to normal after the flood but I still have a long way to go, but I am grateful that we don't have that moldy smell in the basement, so I think the water is pretty much all dried up.

 I have started painting baseboards and will start painting walls hopefully this week.We are on our way to celebrate the February birthdays!
