Unexpected Visitor

I got a call on Friday from my friend, Elizabeth, asking if we were busy on Saturday. Why??? They were going to come to the day! Yippee. Well, of course, we were not to busy to spend time with her and her family! I even talked them into spending the night.

Daniel actually had a nice time but I had to include this picture.

Uh Oh

So Cannon and Sutton are really playing together these days. So cute. They have been playing chase a lot lately.




Last night, they were playing chase and Cannon decided to "block" Sutton by setting up these roadblocks. It was hilarious because, Sutton of course, crawled right under!

Censored!

my blog might get censored for this. but it is hilarious!!

those are my boots! in his hand a guitar! this boy!



disclaimer: my house is never as messy as it appears in this photo. wait, it is worse!

heartbreaker

tonight cannon made my eyes fill with tears twice.

first, he spotted a gun in the top of our closet. i am not a gun girl. hate guns. realy don't want them in my house. but that's another story.

anyway, he saw it and said, "Mommy, someone is in trouble they put a shoot gun in there".

i acted surprised and said i wondered how it go there.
he said, "It's Poppy's! Oh Mommy, I really miss my Poppy" and he had the most sincere and sad face ever. Oh my sweet boy!

Then we were in bed talking. Cannon was talking about the dogs at Gigi and Grandpa's house, "the bad dog, andy" and "buddy dog". he said he wanted to see Buddy dog. I had to explain that Buddy dog got sick and went to Heaven. His eyes filled with tears and he said, "I do not want him to go to heaven, now Andy will bite me".

:(

cannon has also said other memorable things recently...

"i will get those bad guys who hurt jesus. i will get them with my shoot gun and they will die".

seriously? while, i fact that he wants to avenge Jesus's death isn't so bad, what about killing the bad guys??? where do they learn these things?

i did explain to him that Jesus loves those bad guys too. and that if they tell Jesus that they are sorry, he will forgive them and let them come to Heaven. I guess it was a teachable moment.

which to cannon, going to heaven isn't all that great of a thought right now. he understands when someone/thing goes to Heaven we never see them again and he doesn't want to go.

even as an adult, knowing how perfect Heaven is, i don't want to leave my family. so i cannot imagine what it is like for him.

this morning he said,

"i love you mommy. i love sutton. i love daddy. i just love my family".

last week we were in the car singing "The Muffin Man".

I was singing, "Do you know the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, Do you know the Muffin Man who lives on ..." (I looked back at Cannon) and he said "Divot Lane".

FYI: The song says "Drury Lane" but we live on Divot Lane.

disappointment

i am going to have one very disappointed little guy in a couple of months. since the waterpark closed last year cannon has been talking about how big he is (it closed in september). he keeps saying "i am big enough for the big slide now". if you tell him he is a big boy, he will say the same thing.

today we rode by the slides and he said, "i am excited i a big boy now and can do the big slide".

maybe i should skip waterpark passes this year. he is going to be crushed.
