I'm back and ready to bLoG!

Alright, sit down, relax and grab a coke (or whatever it is you find your "Yummy Treat") because I have been MIA in the blogging world for 2 weeks now...which is an eternity for me. So to say the least, I have some catch up to do.
So again...sit down and stay awhile...there are 8 posts!

(I will not be offended if you don't read on)

So here goes...

gAmE dAy!!

We started the Big Day off with the girls heading to see Twilight...I loved loved loved the books, but I wasn't going into the movie with too high of expectations. So that is probably why I actually liked it, sure parts were corny, but I liked it.

Of course we made it to Utah in time for the "Big Game"

Thanks to my Dad, Paul got to go to the game with my Dad, Alan and Clint.

Yep...we are all geared up in our RED for game day!

(Note: keep reading to see the post on why Brig looks so miserable)!

And my sister Jana's darling Baby Dallas is all geared up in his BLUE for game day!

Okay, there is nothing wrong with a friendly rivalry, in fact I think it makes the whole thing a lot more fun. So look close at this picture. My brother-in-law taped "SUCKS" below Utah on Pauls sweatshirt!! We are pretty outnumbered being Utah fans (really the only family we have that are Utah fans are Pauls brother Sam and my sister's soon to be hubby Rauland)

Here is a shot Paul took at the game of the Utah fans running on to the field after their Big Win!

Yaay for Utah!

(you know I really do root for BYU too during the season, but this game I have to give all my support to my Hubby and root RED.)

Addie's Blessing Day!

We were so excited to be able to be at our niece, Addie's baby blessing! She is such a sweet baby, I just fell in love with her right away. She looked so beautiful, I just love her!

The Cannon Cousins

The Brothers
Sam, Matt and Paul

The ENTIRE Cannon Family!

It was so great to all be together and get to spend the whole day together.

Oh I just love that Baby Addie!

Strike!

My mom is in a bowling league and so we thought that it would fun to hit Jack & Jills Bowling and see her in action...

(Stacie & Uncle Jim...how did you manage to escape my camera??)

I love this picture because this kid loves to put his fingers in whatever holes he can find...his ears, his mouth and yes...even his nose!
This is his latest trick and it is too cute, Jana says he even does it at church when people sing!

hAhAhA!

Our 1st Broken Bone...

OKay, so remember back in the "Game Day" post how Brig looked so miserable. Well, here's the story.:

He had just fallen down 1/2 a flight of stairs and landed on carpet. He was crying when we took that picture, but not long after he started acting better. So we thought he must have just hurt it and

and he would be fine. Well for a few days he was favoring that side, and whenever it would be touched he would start to cry. So Tuesday we took him to the Dr...yes, you calculated right 3 DAYS LATER we took him in and they said he had broken his clavicle. Poor kid, all they could do was put this brace on it and now we just wait for it to heal.

Our 1st Broken Bone...I was just sure the 1st broken bone in our faily would be clumsy Raegan! Guess I was wrong!

These Boys are a Little Crazy, if you ask me....

So it's November in Utah, and the Cannon Boys get the crazy idea to go to the Green River and go Camping & Fishing...and despite the cold they still had a blast!

Paul and his brother, Sam
Paul's Dad in action...

Paul's dad with his catch
(he asked if we could photoshop it to make it look BIGGER, haha! I would have if I knew how...sorry)

Yep...ZERO! In Paul's words "I GOT SKUNKED!"

But he still had fun fishing and camping with his Dad, Matt, Sam, Blake, Chris and Blake!

I love Paul's Dad!

What a gOoF!

It was a bit cold, so I was just grateful that they made it back with all 10 fingers and all 10 toes

Friends..

We obviously had a busy trip in Utah, but we managed to squeeze in a little time with some friends too.
I got to go to lunch with my friend Julie and her cute boys, but dang it I forgot to bring my camera...so you will just have to believe me that we had a great time.

We also got to spend some time with our Arizona buddies Jean and Jamie and their kids, and dang it I forgot my camera again...but I stole some pics of their blogs.

Turkey Day!

I love Thanksgiving...it is the perfect time to reflect on all that I have been blessed with.
I am so grateful to be a wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, member of the church and so much more.

Life is Good!

This was such a great Thanksgiving, we got to spend Thanksgiving Day with my ENTIRE family and then spend Thanksgiving Evening with Paul's ENTIRE family!
(I think I was having such a great day, I forgot to take a lot of pictures)

Brig, Cousin Luke and Raegan
My cousin, Jarrett and Raegan

I am so grateful to be these little tikes Mom, they are the greatest little kids

Temple Square

The day after Thanksgiving we all headed up to the Salt Lake Temple to see the Christmas Lights. It was so fun to take the kids to see the Temple Lights.

My darling sister Stacie is getting married in April. We are so happy for her and Rauland, they really are the perfect match. We were so glad that Rauland got to come down for a couple of days so we could get to know him a little better before the big day!

Okay, so I know that was an overload of posts in 1 day, but we had such a great time with so much family in Utah.

And if you made it through all those posts you are fAbUlOuS and must really love us..haha

We had a great time in Utah and already miss you all madly!

My Little Princess

The last couple weeks, I just can't believe how much Raegan has grown up. I keep telling Paul that she is a little girl now, not my little baby anymore. It is so fun to watch her little personality come out, but I have to admit there are times I really miss that sweet little baby girl of mine.

So the other day, I was taking a few pictures of her and she posed like this, it cracked me up. She very sweetly explained to me that she was being a princess.

But really, doesn't she look all grown up?

I always think "I need to make Raegan some hair clips" so this week I finally just did it.
Here is the first batch and I actually really had fun making them. When I have a chance I want to try out a few different ways to make some bows and clips.

sTaR oF tHe WeEk!
