This is Canyon on our 4 hour flight to Florida. We put the tables down in front of us and made a little bed for him. He was so good for being confined for so long.
This is my cousin Jarrett Lipsey. He lived here in Utah for 4 years then he moved back to Florida, then came back here for college, then went back to Florida to receive his call and guess where he is going............. Salt Lake City Ut. How crazy is that. I couldn't beleive it. I guess the Lord knows what he's doing, cause I don't! He will be the greatest missionary. I love him to death and wish him the best of luck!!! 
My cousin Britt through a birthday party for her 4 year old and it was a Spider Man theme. He loves Spider Man. She had all sorts of thing for the kids to do. At the end she had her brother dress in the Spider Man costume and get on the roof. The kids all ran over and couldn't believe it. Then he sprayed silly string at them. You know, like a web. It was a hit with everyone except.............
Canyon!
We were excited to see Shamu!
Crazy they can jump so high for how big they are.
Here is the gang that went. My siblings and my cousin Britt, her 2 boys and husband Mike.
Here is Britt again. 
Here is Canyon intently looking throught the glass aquarium at the whales. He did fine until the whale came close to the glass then he freaked out. I would freak out too if I had something 4 times my size swimming towards me.
Its always fun to go to a pro baseball game. We spent a fortune and had ballpark hotdogs, fries and drinks. It was great.
Isn't it beautiful!
I love sitting where the water rushes up on shore. It's a great way to get sand in all sorts of places.
The water was so warm, nothing like good old utah water.
Canyon wasn't sure about the sand moving under his feet. 
We went to a big party on Peir 60 that they have every summer night. There are entertainers and vendors of all kinds. I didn't get pictures of the party, but I couldn't pass these up. 
Here we are waiting for the races to begin.
Here they come!
Okay, so do you see the geo metro car at the end? I couldn't believe these were the kind of cars they raced. We got a good laugh. After all, he took 2nd.
This guy took 1st in the biggest race and he hopes to go pro nascar. We thought we should get a picture with him incase he is famous one day.
There was no way Canyon was going to last watching cars go around all night so Derek took him out to the lawn and threw him around a little bit. Notice the muscles! 
Here we are waiting for our turn on the boat.
I know, we look like total nerds. The boat is so loud, we all wore these headphone things to protect our little ears.
The guy in the middle was our crazy driver. This was 1 of my favorite things we did. It was beautiful scenery that I didn't get pictures of for fear of letting go. It was fun and we saw 1 alligator. (We think.) Just the eyes and nose then we went over top of it. Crazy.Has 7 teeth

What was I doing 10 yrs ago.....
10 yrs ago I was 14, I think I was in the 9th grade trying to figure out how to fight acne, what boy i liked, what boy liked me, and how to hang with the popular crowd so I could eat on "the stairs" at lunch. Anyone from Canyonview will understand.

Okay, as if I don't have anything important to do I am a little embarrassed to say that I love snooping around other blogs. Even people I don't know. I love seeing what other peoples blogs are like. I love finding out what people from high school are doing now and what they have done in the past. It is horribly addicting and I would recommend to any of you who also have the snooping tendency to plan adequate time to do so. Derek would die if he knew some of the time I put into my blogging fetish. What can I say, it's my new found hobby!!
Canyon turned 1 this last week and so we had a big party for him. It was so fun to have all of our friends and family here to celebrate with us.
As you can see, Canyon had 2 birthday cakes to tear into. Derek and I had a little competition to see who could make the best baseball cake. He won, since mine was a little girly.
I can't believe our little guy is already 1. Life goes fast!!
Today was so hot so I took Canyon out to swim with the neighbor kids.
Thank goodness for digital camera's. I always go a little over board with the pictures. Anyhow it was fun and 
he loved it.
