Pumpkin Carving

One of my favorite Halloween traditions is carving pumpkins. We always get our pumpkins from the super awesome produce store called Verd's. It has excellent produce and we got three pumpkins for five dollars. Anyway, we decided to carve one for little Canyon this year. He loves the pumpkins and tries to hold them. When he sees them he gives them a big cheesy smile. He even liked to put his hands in the pumpkin guts while we were carving them. Here is Canyon with his pumpkin.

Canyon

Canyon is 8 months old today. I can't believe it, it went by so fast. Canyon has two bottom teeth. He army crawls and scoots himself all over the place. (I expect that he will be crawling soon.) He has already figured out how to open drawers and cupboards much to my disappointment. Canyon pulls himself up on furniture and anything else he can reach. His favorite trick is to pull himself up in his crib, hold onto the rail, and bounce up and down on the mattress. Canyon loves it when mom and dad help him walk around. He thinks he is so cool when he is walking. He still hates his car seat and basically anything that he has to be strapped in. He is such a free spirit! Canyon is also saying da da. It is very nice in the morning when he yells da da because then I can tell Daniel that Canyon is calling for him and I don't have to get up...Daniel falls for it every time:)

Beach Cruisin'

One of my favorite things to do is to ride my sweet beach cruiser bike. It is my most prized worldly possession. This summer we purchased a bike trailer so Canyon could ride along with me. It took a few bike rides for him to finally enjoy it, but now he loves going for rides. Daniel also has a beach cruiser so it is a fun Furr family activity we have been trying to do on a daily basis before the weather gets too cold. Here is a picture of my bike and Canyon in the trailer. (Canyon was having a little trouble blinking when the camera would flash.)

Grand Tetons

We also got to go to the Grand Tetons. Hidden right below them is Jenny Lake. Daniel and I went there on our honeymoon and canoed across it. Canyon loved playing with the rocks by the shore. He even got on his tummy to get a better view of them. He also liked to watch Daniel skip rocks on the water.

Jackson Hole and Yellowstone

Last week Daniel had some time off of school so we went to Jackson Hole, WY and Yellowstone. Vacations are very different with kids but we still had a lot of fun! This is us in Yellowstone at mud volcano hot pots. Canyon loved watching the churning water. Also, Canyon is now throwing his binkie. We stopped off at the side of the road because some buffalo were crossing right in front of us. We had the windows rolled down and Canyon decided to throw his binkie out of the window and right into the path of the buffalo. I had to sneak out of the car and step directly in it's path and risked getting gored. I retrieved the binkie and everything turned out ok...luckily. Here is Canyon sitting in front of Old Faithful. ( I couldn't figure out how to flip the picture)

Aspen's bad day

A few days ago our dog Aspen was involved in an unfortunate incident at the ranch. A white and fluffy runt mule named Marshmallow kicked Aspen in the face. She has a tiny cut below her eye and it is a little bit swollen. Although she is ok physically, her pride is not. She layed around the entire day after the incident. She has pretty much lost the will to live after being punked by a little white mule. Here is Canyon trying to make her feel better.

Since I barley started this blog I though I would post some more cute pictures of Canyon when he was little. This is Canyon on the day he was born.

Here is Canyon's first hike in Snow Canyon, Utah. The wind was blowing a little bit which explains the look on his cute face!

Cascade Springs

We took a family outing to Cascade Springs a few days ago. Canyon loved looking at the water and tried to grab the leaves off of the trees. Canyon loves being outside!

Hi everyone. I learned how to do a blog so I can keep you all updated on what happening in the Furr family life. Daniel is currently going to school in recreation managment at UVU and opening a girls program with the Journey. Stacy is also working from home for the Journey and gets to spend most of her time with seven month old Canyon. Canyon pretty much rules the household but that's ok because he is very cute!
