Photogenic?...I think not

So, Jakes Grandma's birthday is coming up and we thought it would be nice to take a good picture of Kanyon and frame it for her. Sounds easier than it is. I seriously took 49 pictures of this little girl and could not get ONE good one. I thought some of the pictures were funny so I thought I would share. Needless to say, we'll try again today for a good picture!
P.S. - If you click on the collage it will make it bigger so you can see the pictures better.

A little fun in the sun

Today we all got out and had some fun in the sun. We decided that we would go miniature golfing with Kate and her family. It was a lot of fun. We also decided to hit some balls at the batting cages. I haven't done that in years. It was a lot of fun for all of us.










Then later, Jake wanted to go drive up Farmington Canyon to look for deer. It was a good ride. The scenery is beautiful. If you look close at the picture, you will see the winding dirt road to the right on the side of the mountain. Now, me, coming from a small town in NY, I am not used to mountains like this... and I don't particularly like riding that close to the edge, but I lived through it to blog about it.

Our first summer...

We are enjoying our first summer together. We've had lots of friends and family to share it with. We just want to thank everyone for their help so far. Everyone has amazed us with the love they have shown us and the smiles they have brought us. This has been an amazing experience for me. I love you all.

Nothing much to say...

But, I have a couple of new pics. On Monday we went and walked around Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Everything was beautiful- except for the sunburn I got on my arms from pushing the stroller around. Here is Kanyon playing "hide and go seek" in the flowers. Can you tell which one is her? haha.

For those curious eyes of yours...

Here are some new pics. Its really all I have to put on this blog since we don't do too much around here right now. We are having fun with Aunt Sue here, and because of her we have beautiful flowers in our yard and a nice organized pantry. Also Jake's sister Rachel is visiting from Florida and is enjoying her time with Kanyon. Enjoy these pics and I'll try to be back soon.

PS- I lost my iPod and I'm mad!! If you know where it is let me know! :)

Welcome to the World Baby Kanyon

Kanyon made her entrance at 5:56am on 5/14/08. We are so glad to have her here. Both labor & delivery went well. If you ask Kate, she'll tell you I had it easy since I slept through most of the labor part. I will tell you that there were still parts of it that made me promise myself that I would never do this again... but only time will tell.

These first few weeks have been filled with family and friends. I used to think that they were going to be filled with rest and relaxation with my new baby, but now I know that couldn't be farther from the truth. I will try to keep up on this "blogging" thing, but if you know me well, you won't hold your breath for new posts.
