Cannon's 3rd... Yea, last year.

I thought since I hadn't ever blogged his last year's birthday, that I should throw in a couple pictures. Lightning McQueen still plays a pretty significant roll in Cannon's life... ;) Had he a shirt then, he probably would've only exchanged it for his year's model.

Excited about a new blanket from Grandma Willvie. But it is amazing what a year will do. He has grown more than I realized, looking back at these photos from last year.

And now 4! The year has brought a whole bunch of fun and change.

It's My Party....

It's My Party and I'll grump if I want to! He felt a little too much Birthday power, or rather he was feeling the lack of it for a moment. Is this normal for 4 year olds? It was hilarious, although I don't think he would agree. He really did love all the gifts he recieved... especially the next morning!

Cannon fills our lives with all sorts of energy! We are so glad he made it to our house and that we were here in Idaho to share his birthday with the family. But we did miss all of our wonderful "family" in Missouri for his special day. He especially missed his "brothers," Sky and Cache!

Cannon's 4th Birthday.

Cannon is 4 years old! And is he ever! He is one who oozes with expression! He runs around the house with his "lightning Speed Bommer McQeen" (I haven't uploaded the picture, yet of this amazing gun made from toilet paper rolls), with all the moves of a real super hero. He loves to make us laugh, and we never wonder what he is thinking or feeling! :) He is ALL Boy, for sure. Oh, we love our little big-boy Cannon.

He has been talking for months about having a "Bat" cake for his birthday, so this was my quick and sorry attempt... it did the job.

Cannon in his two favorite outfits. His Batman PJ's, and none other than his Lightning McQueen shirt and jeans (which I almost literally have to sneak and wash while he is sleeping, for he will snatch them from the dirty clothes baskets and yes, even the washer before I had a chance to put water in it!)! Auntie Camille and Cousin Quincy gave him the shirt for Christmas and he has been wearing it ever since. He does have enough sense, however, to not wear it to Church (though he did ask the first Sunday).

Anticipation of the next gift... what could it be?!
