We have visitors!!

So for the last week and a half John and I knew someone was trying to break into our house. At night we would be laying in bed and hear a strange scratching sound. Many times John got up with nothing in hands to fight off any crazy people, only to come back still empty handed not knowing what the noise is. The other night it was very consistent. We finally came to the conclusion that there was something in our chimney, but what?.... a cat, a raccoon, a bat, a bird. What in the world is it? John called an exterminator to get rid of the rodent or crazy animal.

This morning I was in the living room playing with Canyon. The noise changed. Canyon and I looked over in the direction of the fireplace to only learn that the noise are baby birds that hatched sometime last night. Oh now we can't get the exterminator. What kind of people kill baby birds. On the plus side will now have a built in alarm clock. The sweet sounds of birds in spring time.

This last week John went to Moab with his brothers. John as you know has been trying to get everyone he comes in contact with to become a road or mountain biker. I think he may have succeeded with his 3 brothers.

Canyon sure loves the outdoors. Here are some of our playtime outside today.

FREEDOM!!!

Skies of blue and swings of blue

So now that I live close to my brother I get to play with my two awesome nieces about each week. Today we enjoyed the amazing weather and had a picnic at the park. Canyon sure enjoyed himself.

My baby is not a baby anymore

Yummmmm black beans and mandarin oranges. My silly kid. He picked up each black bean with such precision. He is growing so fast.

He's in heaven.

So Canyon stood for 30 seconds today. A big accomplishment since he only started letting go of a solid surface a few days ago. I can't believe that in 2 months my babe will be a year old.

He reminds me of an ape in this picture. Walking up and down the bricks looking for something amazing to play with.

Happy spring

Ummmm Cheerios!

I found the light socket!!! (just kidding)

Happy Easter.

Finally a sunny day. Canyon and I ate lunch outside. He was loving the warmth on his face and he was not thrilled that I took him inside to take a nap. What a rude mum, Huh?

Ummm smell the sweet carrots.

This weekend I worked and took care of a 21 day old girl. I was talking to her parents about what it has been like for them to be first time parents. It seems like forever ago that Canyon was this tiny squishy ball of joy. I told the parents that it is true what they say it only gets to be more fun as the baby grows. I have so much fun with Canyon every day. It is harder to leave him now than it was when he was three months old. I am so lucky I have a great job that allows me to stay home with Canyon 5 days a week. He truly is the best.
