Utah Trip

Cannon and I spent a week in Utah to see my family and friends. We had a great time and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! I left my good camera at home (I did find the cord to charge the battery, but I can't find the battery!), so I was stuck with the lame one. The pictures aren't my finest (even after photoshop), but I'll be positive a person and be grateful that I had a camera. I specifically picked that week, because my dear friend Kim would be visiting at the same time. She and her family live in Amarillo, but it's still eight hours from here. We have been dying to get the boys together, so this was our chance!

Cannon was happy and content wherever we went and hardly had any tantrums. He had so much fun playing with his cousin Kennedi and it was fun watching them!


It was nearly impossible to get a picture of them together, smiling at the same time!


On Wednesday, I went to Lagoon with one of my best friends, Stacey. It was her work Lagoon day and she had an extra ticket! My mom and Merci watched Cannon and I got to spend the day having fun and catching up with Stacey. I had such a fun time! Her worked served us dinner and had a raffle. I even won a $25 gift card to Sky Box restaurant! ~Actually, I took Merci out to dinner and it ended up being a $50 gift card!


We went to the zoo (which was Cannon's first time) with Merci and Kennedi. We met up with my Aunt Jill and her two little boys, Ben and Alex. I think our favorite part was the bird show. They trained the birds to fly right over the audience, just inches from your head!


Cannon enjoyed swimming at my mom's house, even though the water was freezing!


My Uncle Dave and Alex came over and Alex really wanted to swim. So he and Cannon swam together. Alex is so cute with little babies and he kept calling Cannon "Buddy."


We also swam at the rec center across the street from my mom's neighborhood. It has an indoor pool with a nice kid area. Kim and Clayton came along and I finally got to meet my blogging friend, Shirley, and her little boy Ryan. The boys were born about a month apart, Clay in February, Ryan in March, and Cannon in April. Seated left to right is Cannon, Clay, and Ryan. Aren't they cute?


On Sunday we went to a birthday party for Kim's nephew. Just to clarify, I am also friends with all of Kim's siblings too. We grew up together and they were like my second family. The party was fun and they had lots of kid things to do in the backyard.


We also visited my Mimi who is 87. This was my rocking chair when I was little and now it's just right for Cannon.


It's customary for me to do a photo shoot with Kennedi each time I see her. Although I didn't have my good camera, I still got a few cute pics.
