Family, Friends & Fireworks!

Happy Fourth from the Cannon Kids!

We had a wonderful time today celebrating the fourth with family, friends, & fireworks! Connor & I spent the majority of the afternoon at our usual hangout our neighbor's pool. Then we headed over to the Symonds' house for some food, fun, & fireworks. Caroline especially loved the cupcakes!



Connor & Caroline both enjoyed holding a sparkler for the first time. Uncle Brant was there to lend a helping hand, Thank goodness!














Connor just had to have his picture taken with this tiny, dead snake we found on our driveway. If you knew had scared I am of snakes you'd know how I felt when he first found the snake and picked it up and came running over to show me exclaiming, "Look Mommy the bottom of this snake isn't the same color as the top part!" I felt like running from my four year old.




I had to post these pictures of Coop. It took me a long time to get him to look at the camera. He looks so adorable. He's 11 months old tomorrow - one month until he is one - when did that happen?




This picture of Caroline just cracks me up. She's like a swash-buckling pirate- Can't you just hear her saying, "Ay me mateys, where's me frosted cupcakes?"


So one last tidbit. I don't usually like putting pictures of myself on the blog. But I figured hey I got a tan so why not. I got a new pair of glasses this week. I was going for the Sarah Palin look. What do ya think?
