More b-day Pics

Me and my buddies with our cool sign.

Sporting the GT bikes

Owen is jumping on this air hog rocket we got. We have used it a lot. Scott and I even have fun with it.

Happy 4th Birthday Owen & Noah

We got the living room ready the night before. We blew up lots of balloons. We held them off from 6:30am until 7:15 and the present opening had to begin. They were so excited. They kept asking when could they open presents and would they be 4 the rest of the day.

Owen

Noah

Getting down and dirty with all the gifts and mess. Their main present was the bike. They got lots of books, CDs, bmx toys, firetrucks, cranes and way too much stuff. I figure they are the only 2 so go big or go home.

Noah as a one eye monster

This was took on birthday Eve. It was the last picture taken when they were 3yr. It was hard to say good bye to 3yr but we will welcome 4 with open arms. It is a little sad. They are growing up on us way too fast. We have so many treasured memories and I know many more are to come but we just love them so much especially at this age. 3 started off rocky but it has been a blast. We love to wake up each day (after hearing screams for milk) and seeing what the day holds. I told them we will stop them at 4yr and Scott and I will stay 33 and 39. Sounds like a plan to me.

Zoo

We went to the Asheboro zoo a week ago with Maw-Maw Barbara and Paw-Paw James. We had a great time. We forgot our tickets from Commscope but Scott at least remembered them in Statesville. Better late than never. We loved the polar bears, seals, lemurs and all the animals. Noah got a stuffed lemur and Owen a flamingo from the gift shop. Cannon' kids can't go home empty handed. HA!HA! Scott and I are just lucky to be able to spend time and go go go with the boys as much as we do as a family. In the words of The Roots: Love Love Our family. That's their new favorite song. (Off the Yo Gabba Gabba CD)

I will post some of their 4th b-day pics this week. So stay tuned........

GT Bikes

We ended up getting these 2 extreme kids new GT BMX bikes for the birthday. We gave them early b/c theirs was on borrowed time and to enjoy the awesome fall weather. (Owen 's tire blew yesterday on the old one) So a few weeks ago we took the plunge and got 2 bikes. It started off rocky b/c Owen's bike wouldn't pedal right but they fixed it and we have been kicking it ever since. We got a much bigger bike. A 16 inch from a 12 inch. So we are on bike #3 in 2 years. This is hopefully a keeper. I was a worry wort since they were bigger but these gnarly kids have no fear and really no problems with it. They can't do tricks yet like on their old one but it is coming. Basically they can't jump it yet. But give it a little time and the tricks will be here. Owen and Noah we are so proud of you!! They are just like their Daddy!!

Dirbikers at Casa Cannon

Scott just had to get out the dirt bike this week or he was going to bust. So that meant Owen and Noah had to take a ride. So we were true rednecks and rode around the house. They thought that was just the greatest. They are just like their daddy. They are always extreme!! That's what makes our lives so exciting and non-stop.

Noah

Owen

Last weekend we took a trip to Asheville to the WNC Nature Museum. It was a great place. We had awesome weather and a lot of fun. My favorite animal was the bear. Owen and Noah liked it too and the peacock. We even went to downtown but the boys passed out so we didn't get to walk around. We couldn't believe how cool it was.

A hike at the park in Hickory

Friday we took off that morning for a hike. It was a lot of fun. We walked a good hour. Owen and Noah got a little tired but were troopers. We went all over the place. Saw some great views of Lake Hickory and some deer. We love our Fridays off together as a family. We cherish all the time we have together as a family..

Last of the summer nights

My boys

Noah

Owen

We took these just a few nights ago. We tried to take a picture of the awesome full harvest moon. No luck. So we took pics of ourselves instead. Here they are making funny faces. Owen is looking like a rapper/beat boxer of some sort.

We had a crazy week. First a lady hit me (side swiped me) in my van. Not cool. I was just glad no one got hurt and the boys weren't in there with me. It is going to be aggrevating but at least I have a rental van and so far so good in regards to the other insurance company. It has gone smoothe. Then we went to pick up Owen and Noah's early birthday gift... a bmx bike. We got a real dela one and one of them wasn't working properly. It was hard to pedal. Scott thinks it is a loose bearing. So it is back at the shop. So we have one new bike. I hope next week will be better. We will see....

Dirt Bikers

It has arrived at our house. The first couple of days it was here they had to touch it every time they went out and they told everybody about it. They are proud of that Yamaha. even more they are hopeful that they will get one one day. It will be a long time if I have anything to do with it.

Labor Day

Owen, Christopher, Noah and Brie at the lake having a blast and getting the last tan of the season. A perfect snap shot by auntie Amy. It is one is a million.


Fishing with Paw-Paw James

Maw-Maw Barbara, Christopher, Owen and Brie walking the dock. Noah ended up with a splinter from it. That was probably where he was at this time.

Captain Noah headed out for the sea.

We went with Scott's family to the lake for Labor Day. We all had a great time. Good family fun is what we love!!!
