It's Gotta be a Boy Thing

Having only had daughters I am learning a lot from all these little boys in my life. Little girls just really don't do this, or at least mine didn't! Logan using Stockton for a little more heigth at the table. Dave says he looks like he is practicing for football. I'm not sure if Stockton is laughing or crying at this point. Mindy said he was originally laughing but then was distressed over it.

Jordan (2) and Sam (4 months, I think). Looks like Jordan is practicing the same move. Sam looks like he is having a good time.

(Jordan and Sam are the sons of Dave's nephew, Benji.)

There are a ton of little boys in both our families. When all these guys grow up a bit I'm sure there will be enough for 2 football teams. Won't reunions be interesting?

Thanks Melissa for letting me use your pic.

Stockton, Logan, and Sean

We thought it would be fun to get a picture of my nephew's new little boy with the twins. Sean is Richard and Megan's fourth boy. He is about a month old here. He certainly doesn't look much smaller than Stockton, although you can tell he is an infant (they are about 9 1/2 months apart). It's not the most attractive picture of them both but hey, you take your chances with babies this age!Throw Logan into the line-up and you can really see the size difference.

Logan is on the small size for his age, but at least he is on the charts, obviously Stockton is not! It will be fun to watch these guys as they grow up!

Conference Weekend

Conference Weekend Millie and I braved the 6 new inches of snow in Idaho Falls and went to Utah. Funny thing, once we got past Shelley there was no snow, it was gorgeous the rest of the way. What would conference weekend be without some rain or snow? There was snow on the Wasatch Front Saturday morning but not enough to keep us from taking Grandma Great to Mindy's to see her new house (and the kids of course)! Garry cooked us up a delicious dutch oven dinner before heading off to Priesthood. On Sunday, after conference, Mindy and Garry and crew along with Ruth's family and some friends of Jonathon's (from UNLV) came to Grandma Cannon's for dinner. We missed you Katrina. We had a good time. It was nice to watch conference in Grandma's new "multi-purpose" room, on her comfortable new couch with her nice big TV. What a great conference it was!Stockton and Logan are growing up so fast!!!

I see concert pianists in the future.
Logan, worn out from the day.

Stockton's First Oreo

So, why do people take their kids to grandma's house? So grandma can spoil them and let them do all the things their parents won't. This time however, it was Aunt April who caused all the trouble but I was right there supporting her. This was during Mindy's visit in February. Mindy had just told us that Stockton wasn't into biter biscuits like Logan was, he just didn't seem interested in putting food in his mouth on his own. April had a great idea, she gave him a golden Oreo and brought him in to show me. We tried to take it away and he just grabbed at it and pulled it back to his mouth, like his hands were glued to the cookie and they were rubberbands bouncing back to his mouth.

I guess the secret to get kids to eat is to give them something that actually tastes GOOD! I must say Stockton is a pretty smart kid, he knows what the good stuff is!
