Real Quick...

I had a really bad night, but I won't go into everything. As you'd probably expect, the twins are to blame. But, moving on...

Tonight, before bed, Canyon and I sat on his bed and we were playing with his letter flashcards. We went through them (usually he doesn't want to) and he knew every single one except W, J and one other that I can't remember. I was so surprised, because I really don't work with him very much. The last time I tried, he only knew about 12 or 13, so I was so excited!!! Also, I thought it was so cute that when he got to "V" he said "CVS" a couple of times and then finally said "V". He knows CVS everytime we pass it. I was so proud of him. He really gave my heart a huge smile at just the right time.

Carter Kissing the Bird

Daddy took the boys to Busch Gardens one day and they went to feed the birds in the Lory Landing area. This is Carter trying to give the bird a kiss. Carter is usually the scaredy cat when it comes to stuff like this!!! Daddy's lucky the bird didn't take a bite of Carter's lip!!! (I guess Carter is pretty lucky too!)

Canyon's 4th Birthday

Okay, so I'm over a month behind. Basically, our laptop keeps shutting down whenever it feels like it which makes me never want to get on that computer and our desktop upstairs is slower than ANYTHING, so I haven't been on the computer much. Now Andy had rigged my laptop that I accidentally cracked the screen on and hooked it up to the desktop monitor, so it works fine. Three computers in this house and each with it's own problem!!! GRRRR!!!!!

So, Canyon's birthday was September 24th. We let him pick what he wanted to do, and for a long time he insisted on Chuck E. Cheese's. I finally sat with him and looked at pictures of different places on the computer and he really liked Pump It Up when he saw those pictures. And since Mommy and Daddy are exhausted, Pump It Up sounded easy enough to me. So we had a great time in all of the bounce houses. It was great for everyone and really kept all the kids busy. So without further delay...

Daddy got him a new golf club...
