Fun Times

Cannon is sitting! He's still pretty wobbly, but it's soooo cute!

Pre-School

Can you tell what this says?

Morgan's first day of pre-school went really well. She was very excited about her big day and ready to go with her new cupcake backpack. When I picked her up after her first day she was happy to see me, and very tired! She told me all about her day on the way to swimming lessons. She told me about the boy in the green shirt that was crying for his mommy, and about the loud kids on the playgroung, lol. She told me her favorite part of the day was snack (she couldn't tell me what the snack was, just that it was rolly and she had to be careful so they didn't fall on the floor), and that she had a cookie for lunch. All in all I think she had a pretty good day!

4 month Check-up and VBS

At Cannon's 4 month check-up he weighed in at 18.3 pounds (95th percentile) and was 25 inches long (75th percentile). Doctor Freeman said he was growing at a healthy rate and that she expects his baby blues to stay blue!! Just like his sister! When I imagined what my kids would look like before they were born, blue eyes were never one of the things that I dreamed of. Ben and I both have brown eyes, but one thing is for sure... I LOVE my blue eyed babies :-)

Cannon is now eating rice cereal and was given the go ahead to try oatmeal and other cereal varieties. I am also sure rolling over is on the top pf Cannon's to do list.

Morgan singing one of the songs she learned at VBS to the church congregation. She didn't do much singing, but she did great at the motions, lol.

Crazy hair day at VBS!

Back to work I go!

Cannon is growing SO fast! He's just now 4 months old and wearing 12 month clothes! These super cute jammies are from his great Aunt Gail and Uncle Jim!
Morgan getting her hair cut for the second time EVER! Getting her all ready for preschool!

This isn't a very good picture but I thought it was so sweet! Morgan and Papa Scott working on his fishing poles :-)

So sweet!

Yummy!

Cannon is ready for his first taste of rice cereal.
Morgan actually took this picture all by herself, lol!

Isn't he sooo cute, even with a messy face :-)

Such a happy boy!

Ready to rest after a full belly!

Beach Baby, Beach Baby!

This week grandma Buetler, Gary, Linda, Ben, Morgan, Cannon, and I all made our way to Destin, Florida for a week of fun in the sun. The kids had a blast and both of them learned so much while we were there. Cannon learned how to pick up toys, cooed a whole lot more, and blew razzberries for the first time. Morgan got really comfortable in the pool, learning new tricks. We cooked in most nights which was wonderful, and played at the beach during the day. Ben and I did have several opportunites to go out for a few hours after the kids went to bed, and that was fun. One night we met up with one of Ben's high school friends, Robbie and his wife, that is stationed at the air force base here in Destin. Overall we had a great vacation. Here are just a few of the pictures we took while we were there.

This week Morgan really warmed up to what she has been learning in swim class. She now goes all the way under water and jumps in! It's so fun to see her learning and having a good time.

Happy 4th of July on the beach!
Buried Daddy in the sand

Swimming Lessons

So all summer Ben and I have been trying to teach Morgan how to jump in the pool, put her face in the water, and float on her back. Every time it ends the same way, with Morgan screaming and crying. Not good. So needless to say we were worried about how she would act for the teacher in swimming class. I always find it funny how kids will do things for their teachers that they will not do for their parents, and being a teacher I see it on the other end all the time. When it came time for Morgan to jump in, go under water, and float on her back, she did everything the teacher asked with no tears! In fact, she was jumping up and down in the water and laughing the entire time. So fun! When I asked her what her favorite part was she replied, "jumping in!"

Morgan's friend from the library just happens to be in the swim class too!
