An Update

Wow too much time has past since I last wrote a post. It amazing how busy we are with two kids, jobs, and well...just life in general. Canyon and Oakley are growing up so fast and not slowing down one bit.
Oakley just turned 5 months old on July 5th! He is such a little angel! I never knew how easy a baby could be. Oakley eats great and sleeps through the night. He also loves taking naps during the day. He is very smiley and happy. He is rolling over and playing with toys. He can even sit up for a few seconds all by himself. I could not ask for a better baby. I am so grateful everyday that I got such a wonderful little boy.
Canyon is getting smarter everyday. We have had to be extra careful on what we say around him because he picks up on everything! The other day I was driving in the car and someone cut me off. Before I could yell at the guy I heard a little voice yell from the back "Idiot!" Needless to say I have learned quickly to control my road rage:) Canyon is singing a lot songs, counting, and knows his ABC's. He has started saying prayers which brings tears to my eyes! It is so precious to hear his sweet little voice talk to Heavenly Father. He loves blessing Lindsey, Max, and Oakley..sorry everyone else. We are working on it ;)
Canyon and Oakley LOVE each other. The first thing Canyon says in the morning is "I want to see Oakley Bear". (That is what he calls Oakley. Isn't that so cute!) Canyon loves doing tricks for Oakley and sharing his toys with him. Oakley just smiles and smiles at Canyon whenever he is around. It makes a mother very proud to see them love each other so much.
Daniel is out of school for the summer which has been so nice! We actually get to see him and spend time as a family.
I hope to be able to play catch up on our blog over the next few weeks because we have done a lot of fun things. Our computer crashed a few weeks ago so as soon as it is up and running look for some more posts and updated pictures.

Sweet Baby Oakley

Here are some pictures of baby Oakley. I love Harris Photography!! When I got these pictures taken not only was Oakley being a little grouchy, Canyon was also with me being a crazy 2 year old. And yet she still managed to get amazing pics!! harrisphotogallery.blogspot.com

Lucky...

I am very lucky because I have the best husband in the world! Daniel is so helpful. He cleans our house everyday, whether he has to get up early and do it or stay up late after he gets home from work. He also helps me with the cooking. I haven't had to cook a meal since Oakley was born! He also plays with Canyon, puts him to bed, and gets him ready for the day. When he is not playing with Canyon, he is helping me take care of Oakley. He even volunteers to change both of their diapers! Basically, he does everything all the while going to school full time and working full time! I don't know how he does it, but I feel very lucky:) Thanks Daniel for being the best husband a girl could ask for.

Introducing.......

Oakley Ryan Furr

02/05/2010

7lbs 14oz

20.5 inches

We finally had our baby! I was scheduled to be induced on the 5th at 7am but Oakley wanted to come on his own and I went into labor at 2:30am. By 8:48am he was born. Everything went great. Oakley is such a good baby. He is so sweet. Oakley is very mellow unlike his big brother:) Canyon has been doing really well with the new baby. So far we have caught him driving his toy cars all over Oakley's body, trying to give him a drink of lemonade out of a sippy cup, and trying to feed him candy. Oakley is going to be one tough baby! Canyon even got really sad when Oakley was crying because of his bath. He kept saying over and over "Oh no Oakley!" What a good big brother. I think they are going to be great friends:)

Haircuts and Motorcycles

Daniel got his yearly haircut recently....

Doesn't he look handsome! Daniel and Canyon got to have a super fun father son outing before the baby was born. They went to a motorcross event at Energy Solutions Arena. Canyon LOVES motorcycles. He had a blast and would get sad when the "cycles" drove out of the arena. When they drove back into the arena he would get very excited and cheer. On the way home Canyon turned to Daniel and said "Thank you much Daddy. Cycles!" He talked about it for days afterwards:)

Daniel loves having little Canyon to hang out with. They love going to the motorcycle store, gear stores, and playing "bad guys" on the Xbox. They really are best buddies:)

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and a Busy New Year

The holidays have been busy this year and I need to do a little catch up. We had a great Thanksgiving at Daniel's grandparents house. Canyon and Lydia did not care about eating the yummy Thanksgiving dinner, they just wanted to play! So they went for a walk. Aren't so they cute!!! I can't get enough of them holding hands. They love each other:) Around the holdiays Amy and I took Canyon, Lydia, and Landon to feed the ducks. They stood back at first not sure what to think of a billion quacking ducks....

then got right down by the water to feed the swarming ducks. They had so much fun! Until the crazy seagull came and tried prentending it was a duck (it is in the pic below). It was one aggressive and scary seagull.

Canyon was so much fun for Christmas this year! He loved Christmas lights! When we would go outside or drive in the car he would say over and over "Oh wow! Cool!" or "good one!". And if we didn't respond he would say "Mom! Dad! Cool!". He couldn't believe that sometimes we weren't as excited as he was about the Christmas lights.

I also took Canyon to the zoo lights with Max, Uncle Devin and Lindsey, and Grammy. He loved it! We saw some animals, a lot of Christmas lights, and even got to rid on the carousel.

We tried Santa again this year. As you can see it did not go well. We kept telling Canyon that if he sat on Santa's lap he would get a sucker. I thought he was actually going to do ok with a bribe of a sucker, but it did not work. He got a sucker anyway and immediately stopped crying as soon as he was off Santa's lap. What a rascal! We also got to do a few more fun Christmas things this year. We went to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork and also went to see the lights and reindeer at Thanksgiving point. Canyon loved every minute of it:)

We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and had a delicious dinner. Canyon and Max got to open Christmas PJ's. Canyon got Car jammies. He was very excited (and still is) to wear them.

He also got to go to Grandma Furr's house and get more PJ's. He is so spoiled!

Aunt Lindsey, Canyon, Lydia, Aunt Merilee, and Landon on Christmas Eve.

Christmas day was fun and busy. It took us about two hours to open presents with Canyon. He would open one present and want to play with it right away. He was so cute and excited to get new toys. We also visited both of the Grandparent's houses. While at Grandma Furr's, Canyon and Lydia got into the Christmas decorations. It made a big mess.

Canyon gave Lydia car slippers for Christmas. They were so excited to wear them together.

So on Christmas morning Daniel and I leave the room for 5 seconds to get some breakfast and we come back to this! Packing peanuts everywhere! Canyon decided to not only dump them all over the place, but to break them up into little pieces. They were stuck to his face and his hair. I was literally cleaning up little tiny pieces of packing peanuts for the next two weeks.

We were a little late to Temple Square and Gateway this year but we finally made it after Christmas. Canyon was so mad about being all bundled that he wouldn't even look at us and say anything about the lights.

My friends do an annual New Year's Day trip to the Olive Garden. We have gone every year for over 10 years! Wow we are old!!!

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:)
