The Update of 2012

 Since I already wrote about our awesome trip in January I'll start with February. In February Oakley turned two and Canyon turned 4. Oakley loved Yo Gabba Gabba at the time and that was all he wanted for his birthday!

For Canyon's birthday we went to classic skating and the kids played on the bounce houses and played arcade games. They loved it!

Canyon got to go to a monster truck rally. Like father like son :)

Then he got to go to Toy Story on Ice with me and his aunts and cousins. (Poor Oakley was still a little young to have the attention span for these things)

We had a good Easter and Canyon even waited to get into his Easter basket this year when mom and dad were awake to see it. The Easter bunny was much happier with him this year :) Oakley was very excited about Easter this year. He loved finding candy hidden all over the yard.

Canyon finished up his first year of preschool. He loved it and learned a lot. He also made new friends.

Canyon and Oakley went on the Father and Sons camp out with Daniel. Oakley cried all night long for me. Sucks for Daniel but it made me feel pretty good :) They were all pretty warn out by the time they got home.

Canyon played T ball this summer for the first time. He did great!

Canyon got his first short haircut and we said good bye to his long curly locks. It was sad :( But at least Oakley still has his curly hair.

This summer we also celebrated Pioneer day by going down to see Great Grandpa Furr with all his really cool cars at the Pioneer day festival. It was really fun. They had an obstacle course, old and new fire trucks to play on, a tomahawk throw, and a petting zoo. Tons of fun. Canyon even won his round on the obstacle course! (so he went up against a three year old girl but whatever. We waited in line for 45 minutes for him to race so he was super excited to win.)

 That is Canyon crawling under the covered wagon top...

Daniel had to go on a six day backpacking trek up Strawberry Reservoir so the boys and I drove the jeep to go out and visit him one day. It was fun to be out in the wilderness again.

We had a fun summer full of swimming, bbqs, playing outside, and more swimming. Soon came the fall and it was time for the Utah State Fair.  We love the fair!! This year we attended an Olympic Diving show. Canyon thought it was the coolest thing ever. He loves swimming so I wasn't too surprised. Afterwards we met one of the divers. We also saw tons of animals and giant vegetables and ate really greasy food. So much fun!! (Warning: the pic with Canyon and the diver is a little graphic. I'm just saying...they have little swimming suits)

Canyon started back up at preschool and also started playing soccer. He is such a good little runner. He runs and runs after the ball but gets a little timid when trying to get the ball from the other team. It is so funny to watch ten four year olds run around after the ball!!!

Canyon's preschool went on a field trip to Crandall's Fruit Farm. It was like home sweet home for Canyon since that is where Grandma lives. Canyon and Lydia got to lead the way around the farm.

The rest of 2012 to be continued...

Hello Again!!

It's been way too long since I last blogged so I figured it was time to do some much needed catch up. As of right now...
Daniel is working at The Journey (not the shoe store) and is the program director of one of the programs for troubled youth. It takes up a lot of his time! He is also deciding whether or not to go back to school to get his masters so he can be a therapist.
Me-I am also still working for The Journey (again not the shoe store) and have been doing billing and paperwork for them. The best part is that I work from home so I get to spend time with my little rascals!
Canyon-Is 4 years old (almost five!!). He is going to preschool and absolutely loves it! He is so smart and is full of life. He loves super heroes, playing with his brother, cousins, and friends, and playing games.
Oakley-Is 2 years old (almost three) and is the funniest little thing. He has a mind of his own and most of the time is very stubborn! He also loves super heroes and playing with her brother.

So that is our family in January 2013. Now I can update you on the rest of last year...
