Where did July go?
Really, it was just the beginning and now my calendar informs me it is August. I feel like all the plans I had to do this summer will have to wait until next summer. Is it sad that I'm secretly loving the "cooler" feel in the air? I cannot deal with heat and Fall is my favorite time of year so I'm actually loving this cool summer. Let's see, what have we done...
--Caden has lost 3 teeth-one at home, one in the car after we got done with our dentist appointment and one by getting hit in the mouth after a baseball bounced-thanks to Uncle Randy for that one.
--Colton and Canon just get to tag a long and seem to be happy doing it.
We had special visitors for a weekend. Stacie, Vern and the kiddos came out. We had a jam packed couple of days. Stacie, Canon and I hit up Costco. Gotta love that place. We then went to Trader Joe's and Walmart. The next day we went to Valleyfair. The kids had so much fun. Both of my boys love fast rides, too bad they weren't tall enough for the super fast ones. We ended the night at the Mall of America at the Aquarium and dessert at the Rainforest Cafe where Stacie and I shared the Sparkling Volcano which the waiter had told me fed 6-8 people although the menu says 2-4. Stacie didn't hear that when she ordered:) We were a little nervous about the scene he would cause when he came out but he didn't embarrass us too much. It was yummy! A warning to those going: the desserts are HUGE! All of them!
We celebrated Colton's 3rd birthday on the 22nd. He told me he wanted chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. So got to pick out the cake and then I let him decorate it with the sprinkles. He was so cute when he got cards in the mail, if they contained money he wanted to share it with Caden.
We went to the Braun picnic and had some yummy food, met up with an old friend (Kim you are not old, just an old friend), went to the Canby fair and then back to Grandma and grandpa's for another round of birthday cake and gifts. Colton scored some pretty cool gifts.
Canon just hung out in the stroller
I had a MOPS meeting and started getting excited about the new session coming up. We have some pretty cool and amazing women on steering. It should be a fun year.
We went on a play date with Grandma Voorhees, Aunt Annette, and cousins Max and Zach (or Great Grandma, great aunt and 2nd cousins? ). This was the first time they have seen Canon and he put on a happy, smiling, giggling show for them.
Well I'm off to enjoy my cool weather as I clean and get ready for my sister to fly in from Alaska in a few days. I'll leave you with a sleeping baby! I have a picture of Caden sleeping like this also. Oh and don't let him fool you-he doesn't sleep very much!

After Caden lost his tooth Colton was sure he had a loose tooth also.
--Caden had VBS for a week. It was the an African theme-he was a gentle giraffe. He came home one day and asked what a beast was. I told him it was a word for a big animal and he kind of gave me a look and I asked him why. He told me that his guide, AJ, had said "Caden, you are a beast" when playing a game. So I told him that it also meant he was playing hard and not giving up so it was a good thing.
--Caden started soccer and so far he loves it.
