Cannin Moments

With Cannin's birthday coming up soon :(....TEAR! I wanted to remind myself of a few things that I LOVE about him being 2.

-He has invented his own words.... Piki kah was his first, and when we asked him what it meant he says "I LOVE YOU!" How could your heart not melt. Everynight we whisper Piki Kah to each other. (Oct.)

-You pray all the time. It is so sweet and innocent to hear you talk to Jesus, and it's so simple but sometimes that's all it takes. Sometimes you will through in a few names and the puppies.

-You can now say your ABC's. (Nov)

-Mommy gave you your first haircut. ( Nov)

-You are such a sweet boy. You listen pretty well, but we are working on it.

-You love to help cook and with the chores!

Cannin,

These past 2 years have flown by. You are the light of my life, and I can't imagine what it would be like without you. You make Mommy and Daddy so proud. You always make us laugh, and to hear those little giggles makes my heart melt.

Halloween 2011

Halloween this year was so much fun...but by Monday we were Halloweened out! Cannin wanted nothing more to do with, and we had so much candy. Cannin is really big into Toy Story right now so of course we were Woody, but my little sherrif was the cutest!

We started Saturday night going to Halloween on the square in our little town. Cannin loved the firetrucks and cotton candy. This could explain why he was up till 10:30 that night. Ha. Sunday night our church had their second annual trunk or treat.

My mom set up her car with the theme Red, Yellow, Black, and White they are precious in His sight! It was adorable considering we did it in like an hour :)

We had a great time trick or treating. I have already put away all the Halloween decorations and am now working on fall and Christmas! We can't wait till after Thanksgiving to put out all our new decorations in our new house!

Worst Blogger Ever

And the award would have to go to me. It has been pure craziness around here. We have been redoing some things in our house, and I have started back to school! I'm trying to get better because I just don't have the time for scrapbooking anymore so this will serve as our scrapbook! This has been the coolest day we have had so far, and we LOVE it. I have all the windows open to air out, and Cannin and I have spent the day watching movies snuggling on the couch. He is napping now so I figured I would catch up a little. I booked his Christmas pictures today and am now on the search for our Christmas outfit. This boy is so into it this year. We were in Wal-Mart the other day and he saw a nativity he got so excited trying to tell me about that it was Jesus he couldn't even get it out. This of course is a proud mom moment when all the people around are awwing over him. He has such a sweet spirit. His prayers are so cute and sincere it brings tears to my eyes. To listen to his sweet voice sing Jesus Loves Me just brightens my day.

We are ready to watch game 7 tonight of the World Series and cheer on the Rangers!!!!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! It was pretty low key around here. We all worked then between basketball and zumba I think I saw the hubs about 9:00 :) Cannin got a special cookie and a Boris t-rex!

ICE!

This weekend we took Cannin to Dallas to see the popular ICE! display at the Gaylord Texan Hotel. We had so much fun. It was beautiful to see the hotel all decked out for Christmas. I didn't get to many pictures because they tell you to keep your camera covered most of the time. With it being 9 degrees in there it can mess up the lenses.This is right before you go in. Cannin also got to see Santa for the 1st time this year. He thank goodness didn't cry, but he was ready to go after a couple of minutes! They were getting ready to go down the ice slide! Cannin went all by himself....what a big boy I have!
This guy was so cool! All the lights were beautiful! I'm hoping for a family getaway there one day!
This was our last picture of the night...we were exhausted, and you see there is no Cannin...He was throwing a little fit in the bottom of the sleigh! HA!!! I would tell everyone to go check this out it is very cool!

Busy Busy

I promise we have not fallen off the Earth! We have just been busy busy! As you can see I am trying to update my blog a little! I promise there will be pictures next time! I have promised my self no matter what I will blog at least a couple days a week! Until then Have a blessed day!

Oh My Where has the time gone!

Oh my...It has been quite a while since I have had time to sit and blog! I better take full advantage while Cannin is taking a nap! There is so much to say that I am just at a loss for where to begin! I have added on everyday's to-do list to blog. I need to start keeping up with it a little better! We have taken Cannin on so many adventures the past few weeks! We started at the zoo...He loved it! He growled at every animal that he saw. May 23,2010 Dustin, myself, and our family stood before the church and had him dedicated to the Lord! It was such a special moment for our family. We had prayed so hard to be blessed with a little one, and I was so excited we were able to stand before everyone and hold our little boy!

Here is Cannin and his new friend Reece playing at the ball fields! These 2 played the entire time! I'm glad he has friends around his age here to play with!

Memorial day weekend the ladies had a getaway! We went to Louisiana to the 1st annual Bayou Country Superfest! We saw Justin Moore, Jake Owens, Jason Aldean, Brooks and Dunn, and Kenny Chesney! Talk about a good time.

I will work on some collages of new pictures to post I have so many! Until tomorrow...Hope everyone has a good one~

Quality Time

I haven't been posting lately because we have been trying to squeeze in as much quality time with our friends as we can! Amy and I have been cleaning our little tails off trying to finish up the house before our final inspection on Friday! Fingers crossed "the man" doesn't find anything :) This is how we spent the weekend...we had a great "going away" party with some of our dear friends. We went to eat at BD's Mongolian Grill...It was delish. If you ever get the chance to eat here do so! Sunday Ashton went to practice riding his dirt bike for his race next weekend so Owen stayed with Dustin and me. Cannin just loves this little man to death. He laughs so hard when they play. It's so cute!

We also got to go to a Wright State game in the middle of the week! Dustin braved it and watched all 6 kids by himself. :) We had a great time. We always do when us 3 get together!and to make it better We WON!!!!! So we went NUTZ.....HAHA

Moving Day

It's moving day around the Wedeking household...! We couldn't be more excited. I don't have any pictures to post. We have been just too busy running around trying to get things finished up. We are lucky enough to have some great friends that we are staying with until we make the big move to Texas :) Cannin has loved everything being in boxes. We find him climbing on top of the boxes and sitting. He gets so excited sitting up there like such a big boy! He has gotten so fast...he will be in the same room as you...turn around and he's gone!!! That makes for one tired momma at the end of the day LOL...Tomorrow the loading truck is coming to take our stuff to my parents! I'm sad to be moving out of this house, it has had a lot of first for us...I was told earlier today it may be your home...but there are many more memories to be made, and we will find us a house to make our home!

More Snow

We finally saw some relief as the snow started melting....and guess what??? About another 10 inches is on it's way. It has been snowing since early this morning, and we haven't seen a break yet! We had a fabulous time staying with the Winter Family this weekend! We didn't make it to the Wright State basketball game, but instead we went back home and scrapbooked! and the men folk and little boys played videogames! We had many laughs that brought tears...What am I talking about anytime we are all together all we do is laugh :) I'm trying my hardest to choke back some tears right now talking about all the good times we always have because early next month we will be moving. The movers will be here Thursday and Friday to get all of our stuff. It's sad to see our military chapter come to a close, but I'm glad this chapter is coming to an end. I'm not gonna miss the late night phone calls or the nights he's gone, but I will miss all of our dear friends! I guess I need to get back to packing up a few things...
I'll leave you with this sweet picture of Cannin helping me out earlier today!

Monday Madness

This was a great weekend...We all had so much fun! We spent some much needed time with great friends. I am sad to see it all come to an end as we venture off back to Texas! We have made some amazing friends here that we will never forget. I know I am blessed to have met each of them. These are people I know I will be friends with forever! I haven't had time to download new pictures from the superbowl party so here are a few older ones I haven't got to share yet! Cannin has become his such an independent little guy...I love it, but I hate that he already doesn't need me as much! LOL I know it's only gonna get worse, but man does it tug on those heart strings.

This is where he decided he wanted powdered donuts for breakfast...:) He now has 4 teeth and is pretty much running everywhere he goes! Today we met some of the ladies and went to our favorite store....HOBBY LOBBY! We shop there so much they should start knowing us by name...haha We had a good time laughing and just being our goofy selfs.

Snowed In

This is how we spent most of the morning because today we woke up to this gorgeous site! Starting yesterday about 11 we saw snow. This morning we had at least 6 inches on the ground. After breakfast we dressed the kids and headed out for some fun in the snow. Cannin loved it. He watched the other kiddos have a ball. It is still pretty cold out so he decided it was time to come in for a nap..LOL!!! Today will be alot of nothing except spending time with some good friends. Tomorrow we have planned to head out to the dirt bike track and watch Ashton, and then head across the street for a superbowl party! It doesn't get much better then this...

new look

As you can see I have updated the look! Enjoy

Wow!

I really need to get better at this...It has been months since I have blogged, and I'm kindof sad because I have nothing documenting our days in between. To get on with this forever long post Cannin has grown like a weed. I am now happy to say I am a proud parent to a toddler!! Christmas was fantastic. We all were home for the holidays, and it was so sweet to spend Cannin's first Christmas with his grandparents and close relatives! We then had a birthday party for my little man. Of course it was sock monkey themed....Boy does my boy love his sock monkey! When Cannin and I decided it was time to come back to Dayton I planned a party for him here too! Here are a few of the pictures celebrating!


It looks like we will be cooped up for a few days. We have gotten alot of snow so I know we will have plenty of pictures to post.

Monday Madness

So mommy has been really busy with me, and she says that's why she hasn't posted anything in a long time. I think she just hasn't done it! I have so much to tell I don't know where to start!
I got to take my first trip to the pumpkin patch, and man did I have fun! I was into everything the animals, pumpkins, and people watching! I got to pick out my own pumpkin and bring it home! We haven't carved it yet that's next weekend Mommy says. We have spent alot of time with the Winter family because mommy says we will be moving soon, and she is going to miss her friends! Here is Uncle Justin being Uncle Justin! He makes me laugh so hard! Here are all the kiddos that went with us! We had so much fun. Here is Aunt Amy talking to me on the hayride back to the car! Here is Mommy and Daddy and Me. There was this giant pumpkin and I wanted to play on it so bad, but the people said George could only be touched! Yesterday we stayed home because I didn't feel good I think all my teeth are wanting to come in all at the same time and boy do they hurt! So Daddy and I watched the cowboys game...
Eventhough they lost I think today will be a good day! Mommy and I are off to see what kindof trouble we can find! Have a great day!

Labor Day!

It has been one crazy week around here! We had a suprise visit from my mom, Wee, and the girls! I haven't been able to upload any pictures yet, so the next post will have tons. It was a quick trip for them, but we had a blast. We went the the apple orchard (we didn't get to pick any because it's not season yet), but it was fun to go and see what all they had in their market! And like any trip we ventured to the Winter house and played some cornhole. Now I am here with Amy helping out with 3 babies and a 4 year old! We are having a blast! This week will be nothing but playdates. Have a great day!

Big boy!

Cannin and I had an eventful morning...I got up not feeling well and with a terrible headache! I figured most of the day would be spent around the house just resting, and watching Can but not getting to close just incase...I felt like I had been beat with a stick. Well after a bloody nose my son gave me I had enough. We had to get out of the house. We ventured to our favorite store...AWWWW!!!!! This is the best place for retail therapy. You can browse at all the clothes, bedding, and alot of stuff I wish I could afford. LOL. But I did find Cannin a little something he has been needing.His very own BIG BOY SEAT! He loves it I hate it...not the seat just the fact that he already needs one. :( I thought I was going to tear up taking out his infant carrier and base...but life goes on and those babies grow up! So when we get home there is a box at our front door! Thanks Grammie,Grumpies, and Uncle Jar-Jar. It of course was full of clothes and toys for Cannin, but that's ok because when you show him his new stuff his face just lights up!

But we are sorry Grammie...Cannin wanted to play with the box more than anything!

Last night this verse kept popping into my mind and I just felt I needed to share it...

Be still and know that I am GOD. I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world. Psalm 46:10

Almost Fall!

The weather here today would make you think it's fall around here! It never got over 70 degrees and was absolutely perfect. The sun was shining and there was a light breeze.
We didn't do much this weekend except spend some time with friends! Casey and the kids came in, and Danielle and Emilia came to visit too. We had some delicious food...thanks Amy and just spent the rest of the night catching up! We are trying to plan some fun things to do every month since we will all be going our seperate ways soon! :( I am so excited for Sept and Oct because I think almost every weekend we have something we would like to try and do!

Cannin is quite the ham lately. Everytime he sees a camera this is his new smile...HA!

He just cracks me up. It's something new everyday! Still no teeth or hair, but we are working on it. :) I can't believe he is almost 8 months old. Time surely does fly. I just thank God everyday I was blessed with such a precious and healthy baby boy! Have a good one!

Monday Blues!

So today was pretty blah! I was exhausted only after being up for a hour because Cannin was into everything! I was so excited for him to grow up fast, but now I wish he was still a newborn. He loves to eat, and if you saw his "little" thighs you would gather this. Today I got him playing in his jello though instead of trying to eat it. Usually anything he can pick up it goes directly to the mouth, but not this he would rather squish it between his fingers and make a huge mess...HA! My mom loves the videos so expect more of those, but what is a post without pictures...Here is my little stinker!

Have a good one!
