For Thanksgiving we had Rich, Maria, Diane, Brooke, and my Mom and Dad visit us in Washington. The clouds went a way long enough for us to see Mt St Hellens. We also took a ferry ride into Seattle and see Pikes Market (I can't find any of my pictures of that though).







Lindy's parents, Larry and Becky, joined us on the Polar Express. There is a train ride in Chehalis that goes out through the woods to a little North Pole village where Santa gets on and gives everyone little bells. The boys had a lot of fun.






For New Years Eve the boys had a lot of fun having a dance party with glow sticks and all the lights off at Lindy's parents house. Carson can be a wild dancer.



For one of Carson's Christmas presents he got to a rock climbing gym with Chris. He had a lot of fun and wants to go again. Hunter's favorite things now are trains.

Our family went to Camp Zion this weekend with Lindy's parents. This is a church own camp sight about an hour north of us with camping and cabins. It was a lot of fun. They had boating and trails and a fun park for the kids.

Here is a summery of the last year to get our blog up to date. It all started with a Cannon family get together in Utah. Lindy broke her leg on the first day while riding one of Rich's contraptions

The boys got to do a lot of thing that my siblings and I got to do with our cousins growing up, like the rope swing and tubing down the ditch.




Brooke and my dad were nice enough to come help with the boys while Lindy recovered from her broken leg.

The boys enjoy making pop sickles. We weren't to happy when we found their newest recipe in the freezer.
Lindy's parents came back from their mission in Mexico. We had a fun time this summer catching up with them.

Carson really enjoys going camping and we have been able to go several times this summer.

I made a commitment to several relatives to start keeping a blog again. So here it goes. We went to California and got together with both sides of the family earlier this month. We all had a great time. Our standard of taking pictures of our kids has lowered over the years. We used to try for pictures of the whole family facing the camera with smiling faces. Then we settled for looking at the camera. Now we are happy if we can just get them, or parts of them, in the picture to prove they were there. I should get tips from wild life photographers, I bet they could help. Rich and Maria have a good picture of Carson on their blog, but they had to bury him in the sand first. Maybe I should utilize that technique more often.

Hunter had a great time, at least some of the time, at the Safari park. His Grandma was a big help

Carson loved the sand and water at the beach.
