Getting Older:(

So We went to the park today and I am just amazed with all the new things Cannon can do. He is just getting so big. He climbed all the way to the top of the big slide and went down all by himself today... Just 3 days ago at the same park he could not achieve this feat. I am just so in awe of how quickly the kids grow and how awesome it is to see him do these things daily. He was so proud of himself that he just had to do more... He then went to the merry-go-round and decided that he was big boy enough to stand up while it was going around. I am just so glad that my dream of becoming a mom came true and it's the cherry on top having the worlds best little boy!

Ok So it has been a while.... lots has happened in the last few months. So in Feb we took Bug to Disneyland in CA and he had a BLAST. It was so fun to see one of my favorite places through his little eyes. He is doing wonderfully and just growing and getting smarter everyday. He is now 18 1/2 months old and it seems like just yesterday he was still in my big ol' belly. At his 18 month appointment he weighed in at 26lbs 9oz and was 33 1/2 inches tall. He is so smart and knows how to get his way already. He has about 50 words that he can sign and only says a few words. He says bubble, mama, daddy, yia yia, yes, no, and OG which is Dog. he is working so hard at his animal sounds. My favorite that he does is the Horse. I will try to get a video of the horse noise and put it up here. Kris is getting all geared up to go back to AK this summer and we are looking forward to the paychecks that will come with that. Here are a few pictures of Bug in Disneyland for you to see. I PROMISE I will try really hard to update this better.

Here is the Slideshow from Disneyland! Enjoy!

My baby is now a BIG BOY!!!qa

Ok so at Target the other day we got Cannon some big boy undies! they were Cheap so I bought 4 packages of them (Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse) So today I thought since they came out of the wash that I would try them on bug to see how they fit. Well as you can see they fit him GREAT! They are a size 4T so they shouldn't Fit him as well as they do. But anyway on to the BIG NEWS!!! I gave him some milk after he had been in the undies for an hour or so and then thought to myself... I should sit him on the Potty and see what happens... so I did and he sat there reading a book and after a min or so he got up and low and behold my BIG BOY went Potty (and a lot) in his big boy potty. I am so proud and so sad at the same time. I can't wait for him to grow up but still want him to stay so small... Oh I guess the joys of Toddlerum are among us.

Wanted to share the video of Bug dancing today.  He loves the movie Happy Feet and when it is on he can't help himself he just has to DANCE!!!!!

Christmas time is here!

So tonight we went to the Parade of lights with our friends the Gronke's . It was tons of fun but super cold. Bug looked so cute in his snow suit. He was having a great time and loved the lights on the floats and the MUSIC. He was dancing in his stroller with every band or musical float that went by.

Getting ready to go!!!

We also put up the tree and it is not doing well.  Bug is so into the ornaments that we have had to move them ALL to the tip top of the tree.  He also discovered CANDY CANES....  He has taken 8 off the tree since Sunday and has eaten them ALL.  He even got one down from the top of the tree by moving his rocking chair over to the tree and climbed up to the candy cane and stuck it in his mouth and came to me and said HUMMPH!! and walked away as if to say HAHAHA I got one and you can't have it.   Here are a few pictures of the tree.

SANTA!!!!!!!!

So the other day we took Cannon to Grand Junction to see Santa.  He was so not into it this year.  Lucky for us and him we had all the time in the world with Santa.  There were no lines and no one was waiting to see him after us.  So Bug walked up to him and wasn't so sure of him but after a few minutes of mom sitting with Santa and Cannon on my lap we got some "decent" pictures... Well that wasn't good enough for mommy, so we kept at it and eventually Cannon was giving Santa high fives and Knuckles.  So we sat him down one more time and got this picture.

I was happy with the end result I am not sure if we will be able to fool him with the Easter bunny though.
