Little Canyon

So Canyon recently got to be a "model" for a really cool photography buisness, Harris Photography. We got his pictures taken last year right around the same time. This is him last year.... And these are picture of him this year...time goes way too fast! He is growing up so fast.

Playing peek-a-boo. One of his favorite games.

I am so thankful for my little boy. He is our pride and joy:)

My Little Nemo

So I figured before Thanksgiving came, I had better catch up and write about Halloween. We had a very busy Halloween and basically had to do all of our activities in one day because of the move. Canyon was Nemo. I bought the costume about a month before Halloween and Canyon HATED it. So every day we practiced wearing it so when Halloween came, he wouldn't have a melt down when he put on his costume. And it was worth it. He loved wearing his Nemo and he still asks to wear it almost everyday. So we went to Aunt Andrea's house and had all the grandkids dress up in their coustumes and did a big picutre taking session (which I forgot my camera for), we did pumpkin carving, trunk or treating, and trick or treating to grandma's and grandpa's house. It was a busy day but very fun.

Cute little Nemo at the trunk or treat. Canyon even said trick or treat to get his candy.

Basically after every car he sat on the curb to try and eat his candy. He just couldn't resist:)

Once Canyon got this sucker, it was all over. It had had enough of trunk or treating and just wanted to eat that sucker!

Nemo and his cousin, the BYU cheerleader. They are best buddies.

My little Nemo all tuckered out after a full day of Halloween activities. Happy Halloween!!

A few announcements....

So I have a few announcements that are long long overdue. The first is that I am going to have baby and it is another BOY! Our lives are going to complete chaos in about three and a half more months. The second one is that we moved. We moved to a bigger apartment so we could have room for the baby. I figured something out...I HATE moving. And with me being pregnant I was basically useless in the entire process. We are so lucky to have such awesome family around to help us!

Kimberly and Casey helped us almost everyday of our move. Casey helped Daniel haul over big furniture and Kimberly helped move smaller things and helped clean our old apartment. Casey even babysat Canyon late one night while we were finishing up some cleaning!

Daniel's mom helped with the moving and cleaning and Daniel's dad helped with the big furniture too.

Uncle Tim took time off from the fruit farm to help us!

Amy and Jared babysat Canyon two days in a row for a long time so we could get things done. She has a tiny baby so it was very nice of her to take on Canyon too!

Merilee also helped us on several different occasions moving things and cleaning. Whatever task we had left over, she tackled it.

My mom was basically a life saver. She moved my entire kitchen! Dishes and all. She even came back for round 2 the next night and helped me clean our new and old apartment!

Even my sister Andrea came all the way from Spanish Fork with her kids to help me with the cleaning.

Thank you guys so so much for your help! We couldn't have done it without you. Family is the best thing in the world:)

Utah State Fair=AWESOME

For about three years now Daniel and I have been trying to make it to the state fair. We finally made it this year and it was so much fun! They have tons of animals, giant vegetables, really greasy food, and carnival rides. And we only got to see about half of the fair! Canyon had a blast and could not wait to see the animals. Grandpa Furr was really nice and paid for Canyon and Lydia to go for a pony ride. Here we are waiting in line for a horse back ride adventure.

Here is Canyon, Thunder, and I. (Thunder is the horse)

Canyon loved every minute and was sad when he and Thunder had to part ways. Thanks Grandpa for the fun ride!

Daniel and Canyon with the goats....they are kinda gross. The funny thing about the animals is that Daniel and I used to have to be around these kind of animals on an everyday basis when we worked at the ranch, but they were very cool to Canyon. The only animals he didn't like were the sheep. One baaed at him and it really freaked him out.

Giant veggies....yum!

Canyon and Lydia (and some kid who walked into my pic) on the giant pumpkins. They biggest one weighed 306 pounds!

Daniel and Canyon with a giant cow. Seriously that thing was huge!

This was a tiny baby cow that was only a few days old. Canyon went to pet it and decided the best place to pet it would be it's hoof:)

Canyon and Lydia riding the carousel. They could not get enough of the horsey rides!

Aunt Amy was very nice and got Canyon tickets to ride the choo choo. It was a dream come true for Canyon. He loves choo choos!

The family at the state fair. We had so much fun I think we will make it a yearly tradition:)

A much needed update...

Wow how time flies!! I can't believe that the summer is already over and we are into the fall!! Well, here is how the rest of our summer went. My brother and his family came from Washington to visit. It was so much fun to have them here. We got to do a lot of fun things including a trip to Salt Lake, playing rock band until all hours of the night, and swimming at the new Payson pool. We had a blast. We also went geo cashing. It was right there in Pleasant Grove and it was a jeep trail which made it extra fun. It was a blast! Here is Hayley digging the geo cash out of the bushes.

Here are the geo cashers...Zack, Clara, Laurel, Canyon, Hayley, Daniel, and Jeremy (my brother).

We also got to go to the aquarium in Salt Lake. It was actually really cool! Here are Canyon, Clara, and Zack looking at some frogs.

Here is the gang petting sea rays. Canyon loved playing in the water!!

Cute little Clara!

Hayley and Canyon

Canyon and Zack. It was so much fun to have them visit! We wish they could visit every month:)

One evening we went up to Tibble Fork to have a bbq in the jeep. Sometimes I think Utah is lame but when we can drive 15 minutes and be in really beautiful mountains, Utah isn't so bad after all.

Canyon and I went on another trip to the zoo. This time we went with Aunt Amy and Lydia. Canyon and Lydia had so much fun together!

After many attempts, here is the closest picture I could get that both of them were semi looking at the camera.

The cute baby giraffe.

For our big family vacation this year we went to Yellowstone. We LOVE Yellowstone. Canyon had a blast and loved camping and seeing all the animals. He even liked seeing the hot pots and geysers. Here is me and Canyon at Mammoth Hot Springs.

Canyon hanging out at camp. Isn't he cute!

Canyon playing in camp while we got breakfast ready. Look at his hands! He is such a boy. He would lay down in the dirt and dig around. He was dirty after being outside for 2 minutes! Every morning a chipmunk would come into our camp and eat the crumbs off the ground that Canyon would drop. Canyon called it the kitty.

Here are Daniel and Canyon at Fishing Bridge throwing rocks in the water. This was Canyon's favorite activity. We would have to find some body of water every day and let Canyon throw rocks in the water. He loved it!

So here I am trying to get a normal picture of Canyon and I with Canyon waterfall in the back ground. It turned out like this. Boys are crazy!

The family in Yellowstone.

Daniel and Canyon in Yellowstone Lodge. It is so sweet. I wish I had a cabin just like it.

We took Canyon swimming in Fire Hole River. It is nice because it is so warm. Canyon had a blast. He jumped off big rocks into the water. We couldn't get him leave!

So one day while were we letting Canyon throw rock into the water, he decided to just get right in and soaked his shorts and diaper. While I was trying to change him he escaped to check out some bugs and plants. LITTLE RASCAL!

Canyon throwing rocks in Lake Yellowstone. It is huge!

Canyon took some digging lessons from Aspen because here he is digging like a dog looking for the perfect rock to throw in the water.

"Buffs" as Canyon calls them. We also saw a ton of elk and deer. We saw a bear swim across a river too. Then it crossed the road almost right in front of us!

Here are Daniel and Canyon eating at our favorite pizza restaurant in West Yellowstone. It was at the end of our trip:(

Some other highlights of our summer included a girls trip to St. George. My sisters, my mom, and I went to St. George and left all the kids and husbands at home. It was my first time leaving Canyon overnight. It was sad! But the good news is that we had a blast in St. George. We went shopping, out to eat, swimming, and we even saw a chick flick. It was such a fun weekend.

Canyon also got a new little cousin, Landon. Lydia's little brother. After such a fun filled summer, here are my guys tuckered out.

We had such a fun summer. Daniel is in school again and it is getting cold. But we look forward to having a fun winter:)
