Boating Fun!
On Saturday we packed up and headed to Lake Austin to go boating with my family. This was Cannon's first time on a boat and I think my dad was more excited than anyone! Cannon was his usual self, just chillin'. We rode the tube together and then we found a cove for swimming. Usually Lake Austin is a too cold for my style, but the water was perfect!
Cannon loved helping Grandpa drive the boat!
We had a great time and we all took long naps when we got home! Unfortunately, Cannon had a fever when he woke up. I took his temp and it was 104.5! Cannon slept in bed with me that night, but it turned out to be a pretty rough night. He still had a fever all day on Sunday and a little one when he woke up this morning and he has been refusing to eat. However, he did make an exception for a package of Rolaids this morning, to which I had to call Poison Control. Oh, the joys of being a parent!

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.

Beach Bums!
Ryan came up with an awesome idea for a mini family vacation.
On Monday we drove to College Station. Ryan's aunt and uncle were out of town, so they let us have their house, complete with a pool.
On Tuesday we swam all day.
On Wednesday we drove to Houston to visit the aquarium downtown and then we drove to Galveston to go the the beach!
On Thursday we swam and Cannon got to play with Cole. Then we went home.
I couldn't believe it, but I left my camera at home! Kristina was nice enough to let me borrow her camera on Wednesday. I took a million pictures, but her are a few that capture our day.
Cannon LOVED petting the baby sting rays and would laugh every time they swam to his hand.
If you look closely, you can see a white tiger sleeping on the rock.
We rode the carousel, ferris wheel, and train.
This was Cannon's first trip to the beach!
He loved wearing his sunglasses, but he kept trying to take off mine!
He did not like the taste of salt water!
He loved the sand!
And he loved just walking around.
His new word, "Cheese!"
The water was crazy warm and the air was hot! We had such a fun day and a fun week!
