Family Time

Today was a great day and it was wonderful to be together as a family.  We didn't spend the day anywhere special, but we spent the day together, snd that is what counts.  We hung out at home, worked together and separately...but we were always within shouting distance.  I enjoy being able to walk out to the garage and chat with Chris or ask a question.  I like that we can stop a task and all have breakfast together (thank you Chris for a wonderful, homemade breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and homefries.)  It was a great day, we accomplished a lot, and while doing it, we enjoyed being together. 

We spent the afternoon cruising in the Chevelle.  We went to two car shows:  One in Auburn and one in Sumner.  It was fun to look at old cars and not be in a rush.  However, Cannon was not in the mood to look at cars.  He was hot, whiny and wanted to go home!  Yes, he tested our patience today!

Chris worked on the Jet Boat today and got the floor painted, a light put in, hoses cut and fit and more. 

I worked on chores around the house, scrapbooked some and worked on a project for my classroom. 

Cannon did a lot of everything.  He played in the backyard in the water, worked with Chris on the Jet Boat, rode his bike, took his training wheels off, practiced riding without training wheels, raised the jack on the trailer up and down a zillion times, rode on the 3 wheeler with Chris, ate ice cream, took a long bath and finally hit the sack. 

Colson was up early this morning and we spent time together before Chris and Cannon got up playing, reading and talking.  He watched me work in the kitchen and also sat with me while I worked on the computer.  He took a long nap this morning!  He then played in the exersaucer, sat outside in the garage and watched Chris and Cannon, sat with us while we ate breakfast, watched as I folded clothes and sorted through all of his clothes.  He slept again when we went cruising in the Chevelle and took another long nap!  He had a great day with all of us.  He didn't want to go to bed tonight, however.  He woke up after an hour and cried uncontrollably.  He didn't want to nurse, didn't want to be rocked or held to sleep....just wanted to be awake.  He was happy when he was up and with us.  Smiling and talking!  CRAZY!  It was hot up in his room and after trying to get him back to sleep for 2 hours, we finally moved his little travel bed in the downstairs bathroom and he was out!  Never a dull moment!

And a some photos from today:

car show in Auburn.

They have a great 'kid' area at Sugarbabies.
Cannon played while I shopped today!

Sucking on an ice pack.  It was hot today!

And 'gumming' and apple.

Whatever keeps him busy!

Cannon is practicing balancing.

Blood, which is typical for Cannon. 
He wasn't even riding...just trying to get off!

Enjoying every moment.
